Beautiful property in Wayne
Gott Farm is an amazing property. We loved the beautiful house and camp overlooking the lake. The house is well stocked with every tool a cook could need. We had small children , parents and grandparents sleeping in the main house. We did wish there was one other large bed instead of 2 rooms with twin beds in the main house. The only downside to our trip was the water quality in the lake. Halfway through our week algae blooms were detected and we could not swim after that. Obviously this is out of the owners’ hands and they alerted us immediately. Communication with the owners and Margo was wonderful. If you are looking for a beautiful property to enjoy a family vacation this is it.

Wonderful camp and great memories
My family and I greatly enjoyed staying on the Gott Farm. We are from the area and return every year to visit family and friends. We have stayed at other camps in the past and appreciated the large amount of space and privacy at the Gott Farm. The level of thoughtfulness in how the owners organized and prepared for our visit was exceptional. We prefer to cook and entertain onsite when we visit Maine. Doing so was very easy due to the layout, large kitchen table, dishware, varied/plentiful cooking/serving supplies, dish washer, good quality grill, plenty of parking, numerous board/yard games, places to sit outside, beautiful views, mooring for the boat we rented, private dock, etc. Having access to a full size washer and dryer was so convenient. Communication with the team supporting us was superb. Our host, Margo, met us at the camp on check-in day to make sure we had everything we needed and to provide us with local points of interest. This review would not be complete without pointing out that the owners have gone to great lengths to simplify/organize the camp. For example, they put together a ring binder that contains the history of Gott Farm, a comprehensive list of relevant telephone numbers, local points of interest, instructions for the electronics, a check out list, etc. to sum it up, my family and I had a great time! We highly recommend the Gott Farm!

Gott Farm Stay
The Gott Farm property is lovely. We enjoyed the lake tremendously. We were very surprised to discover that the camp by the lake and the garage apartment had no running water and that it was severely discouraged to use the toilet in the lakeside camp. This was not very clear in the description of the property. We also found the house to be not especially clean. Otherwise, we loved the area and convenience of being so near to the quaint downtown of Wayne, Maine. The Property manager was great and very available, with good communication.

Hidden gem on a beautiful lake
Property, owners, caretakers, townspeople all A-rated. Every room, every view, every bench, picnic table, deck were thoroughly appreciated by every age range (17-83). Highly recommend to anyone who wants a peaceful getaway with people you love. Lots of space on property. I could add more--all positive details--but will stop now.

Something for everyone!
Our three generation family stayed at the Gott property for a week. Everything about it was wonderful: the grassy lawn with the blueberry garden, the rope swing, the tall majestic ancient trees, the living spaces (we used all three), the sunsets, the well stocked kitchen, the outside sitting areas, and the lake! We fished (caught a 17" large mouth bass from the dock!), swam, explored by boat, and made several trips to Tubbys for ice cream. We all agreed that it was our best family vacation on a Maine lake ever.

Gott Farm Doesn't Disappoint!
We were a late booking, maybe 3-4 weeks, prior to our visit so I was naturally apprehensive as to why the property was available. Whatever the reason, it was a blessing to my family and me. We have extended family that lives in the area and they were able to comfortably visit , BBQ, play whiffle ball, swim and just lounge in the peaceful breezes of Androscoggin Lake. The house instantly reminds you of an old English cottage but has plenty of space inside. The house was allocated with enough amenities to cook for our group and our visitors. There were plenty of games, sports gear (whiffle ball was awesome and played by all). What I cannot say enough about is the peace and quiet the location provided. When the loons broke the silence, it brought a smile and for folks that have never vacationed in Maine, you get used to it pretty quickly. Our host and the management team were helpful leading up to our visit with recommendations (must go to Tubby's for ice cream and lobster rolls!) and Hildie was very helpful showing us around the property. I cannot say enough how lucky we were to come across this property and I would stay there again without hesitation. Thank you again.

Maine Shangri-La
Our family of my husband and I and our 3 children ages 19, 18 and 11 years had a wonderful time at this piece of perfection , the Gott Farm, in Wayne Maine on Androscoggin Lake! The description is spot on! 12 acres of peaceful bliss - lake frontage with dock and separate camp house on water plus the main house with original 200 yo beams and wide plank wood floors, fully stocked kitchen, comfy rooms to read and play games, tv , great Wi-Fi , and a spotless/?new outdoor grill with back deck , 3 bedrooms in main house with clean sheets, 2 bathrooms with more clean towels than a hotel - who could ask for more? We canoed, paddle boarded , kayaked and swam every day in the beautiful clean lake (local boating place delivered the canoe and paddle board to us and we brought our kayaks) and we ate delicious baked goods and sandwiches from the awesome bakery at the General store in Wayne - went strawberry picking plus hiked Mount Pisga! Overall beautiful setting, spectacular comfortable clean house, a peaceful beautiful setting , and clear refreshing clean water! Who could ask for more? Also the owners and caretaker were so responsive with questions I had - like immediately ! Oh I almost forgot there were fresh cut beautiful flowers awaiting us and a loaf of yummy sourdough rye bread and chocolate chip cookies from the local bakery also awaiting us when we arrived as well as Hilde the wonderful kind caretaker who met us and showed us everything ! Seriously I will want to go back again and again !

A beautiful weekend ....
Our Intentions Group wanted a setting of serenity. and privacy, inspiring vistas, and accommodations for nine adults. This is the only place that met all of our requirements—but if there had been 100 other choices we would have chosen this one hands down. We couldn't have asked for more from an excellent host and the beautiful surroundings of Gott's Farm on Androscoggin Lake for our October gathering. The farmhouse itself—with its old wood beam ceiling and farm table for 10—was warm an inviting from the moment we walked in. The kitchen was completely outfitted, the layout was spacious, the couches were comfy and well situated for group talking, and there was a cord of wood for the wonderful stove in the middle of the room. We'll be booking this one for years to come.

We grew up on the lake and our family and friends are all in the area. The property is just beautiful with sunset views and long views of the lake from the top of the rocks. The kitchen is well stocked and the owners are delightful. Enjoyed many card games around the big kitchen table. Provided us with more than everything including hand made bug spray! :) Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Getaway
We had a great two-week stay! We were looking for a private lake retreat and it's exactly what we got. The house is very comfortable with a well stocked kitchen, nice grill, great beds and linens, and lots of games and other amenities. We have several family members with allergies and this was the best lake rental we've ever been to in terms of mustiness. The property is beautiful and provided lots of space for kids to frolic. We had several epic croquet tournaments. And the blueberry bushes were a delicious surprise. The sunsets are amazing with islands in the foreground and mountains in the background! We had many friends with children come in and out over the two weeks and everyone enjoyed their stay. We made use of the camp and the studio, both have great views of the lake. Tom, the property manager, went out of his way to make sure that we were comfortable. And WAP John, the owner, was also available for any questions. It was clear that they wanted us to have a fun, carefree time, which we very much appreciated. And the pie on arrival was most welcoming! With small children and grandparents visiting, we wished that the lake access was easier. There's a steep decline to the lake, and then a rocky spot before you reach the dock. The shoreline is also rocky. We rented several kayaks and a SUP and had some difficulty getting them in and out of the water. Water shoes are a must here! Also of note, the dock will not support a boat. Tubbies and the General Store both make great sandwiches, and the Farmer's Market on Saturdays, although small, was fantastic. Hannaford's is only 15 minutes away. Overall, we enjoyed our time at Gott Farm immensely!

Beautiful and peaceful house and surroundings
The house is very old, but it is modern and very comfortable. The kitchen is particularly well-appointed, with a full complement of dishes, pots and pans, and even an extensive array of spices. The grounds surrounding the house are extensive, and very beautiful and serene. My wife and I stayed in the "camp", while children and grandchildren stayed in the house. The camp, which is a short distance from the house, is rustic (electricity but no running water), and is perched on a ledge right over the lake, with a spectacular view of lake and woods. We loved staying there. Tom, the local manager, was friendly and very available. When the coffee maker stopped working he brought a replacement within the hour, accompanied by a jar of home-made salsa. The only challenge we experienced during our stay was that access to the lake was tricky, due to a steep descent to the dock. The owner is aware of this, and has plans to upgrade access before the 2019 season.

Gott Farm exceeded our expectations, which were very high! Beauty, tranquility, charm, seclusion.
We were completely captivated by Gott Farm - from its private location to the spectacular lake, the charming camp, and the lovely, historic, and lovingly restored and decorated farmhouse. The kitchen contains every single accoutrement needed to prepare every meal, the living spaces are comfortable and homey, the bathroom is spacious and convenient, perfect for a big family. The outdoor spaces are plentiful and afford gorgeous views. We loved the village of Wayne, and the people there were so friendly, helpful, and kind. The General Store has amazing pastries and muffins, and we found wonderful treasures in Bittersweet Antiques. We highly recommend renting a boat to explore the islands of Lake Androscoggin, especially Norris Island with its black sand beach! We particularly appreciated the owners’ meticulous and detailed notebook of instructions, general info, recommendations, and background of their beautiful property, not to mention a homemade “welcome blueberry pie” when we arrived. Of all the vacation home rentals we have visited, Gott Farm tops them all by far. It was a dream vacation, and we will be back for sure! - Brenda and Jeff Acuff, Alli, Caroline & Jack

Comfortable and relaxing!
Our family enjoyed a comfortable and relaxing week at Gott Farm! It was perfect for children, parents, and grandparents! Plenty of room to spend quality time together. Beautiful surroundings, quiet, cool weather. A tree swing that was a huge hit!! Comfortable house with open floor plan that kept everyone connected. Super, spacious laundry/bathroom upstairs that made life easier. The separate cabin was also a special, beautiful place to go and enjoy the beauty of the lake. The blueberry picking was fantastic!! We all thoroughly enjoyed it and would recommend to any families wanting to have a special experience together. Many wonderful memories were made this past week. I cannot wait to see the book of pictures that our daughter-in-law will put together filled with all our memories of the week! Special thanks to Dwain and W.A.P. John for such quick responses whenever we had questions!

Blissfully relaxing stay
As someone who spends about 10 weeks a year traveling around the world, I can say with confidence that if you're looking for a place to just tune out and take it easy, this is the place! It is also very comfortable and surprisingly convenient. The location on the lake was just right. Loved the green space for lots of games. The tree swing was a bonus for all our kids. Between the camp and the house, we had plenty of space for 4 adults and 4 children. We all took turns sleeping in the camp so we could enjoy the sounds of the lake water and loons. We also particularly appreciated all the toys, kitchen equipment and staples that were made available for us. In many cases, it seems that they were brand new and purchased just for our convenience. We had thought we would do lots of adventures, while basing ourselves in Wayne, but then it turned out that we enjoyed the house and the grounds so much, we ended up spending every day just playing in the water or hanging out around the house. We also loved the enormous variety of books that we could peruse. All in all, it was such a great time and we only wish we could have stayed longer. Thanks to Dwain and Hildie for taking good care of us!
