Great place for family vacation

We had a four night getaway and despite the weather (cloudy and some rain) the place had so much to offer. Kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, games for adults and kids, a great kitchen to cook in. Definitely going up again next year!

Family Gathering

Shady Grove Lake House far exceeded our expectations. The location, about 30 mins from the airport, coast, shopping (Freeport & Portland) was perfect for venturing out. The house was 10 of 10. Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and the little thoughtful things like dozens of beach towels.

Great family vacation.

The location and the lake could not be better. House had all we needed. Great fishing and the kids lived in the water. We had one problem but the owner responded fast and dealt with it. We have done this as a family many times and everyone said this place was the best ever. We all would definitely rent this again.

Excellent stay on the lake

Nice, spacious and very clean home with pretty much everything you’ll need. We didn’t spend a lot of time at the property due to other commitments, but we slept well, and found a little time for canoeing. Katie was very easy to work with. Location was good, with a Hannaford and Walgreens about 4-5 miles away. Would definitely recommend.

What a beautiful quiet spot on the lake with a great view from the house and docks . Loved the house and all the windows looking towards the lake and plenty of space for all. 1st day an eagle came down right in front and caught a fish. Katie was quick to answer all questions. Thank you for a great week !

Wedding Getaway

We had a wonderful time staying in this beautiful home! We stayed with another couple (family) to attend my nieces wedding. The view walking into the living room is wonderful! The house is very clean, well stocked and so much room to spread out. Plenty of room for girls getaway, guys fishing or family vacation. I'm definitely getting the joy of lake life!! Coffee and tea on the dock was great! Only warning would be that stairs are very steep to lower level. Definitely would love to come here again with our kids and grandkids. Katie is great to work with and was very quick to respond to any questions.

We rented the house as we had 11 family visiting from California, Massachusetts, and northern Maine and wanted to house everyone in one place to have an early Thanksgiving together.The accomodations were good except for the stove and related electrical issues.During each meal we prepared there were electrical issues associated with the stove and/or breakers that caused issues. The first night the breaker shut when we used the stove and it took a couple extra hours for meal prep. The next morning the owner sent over an electrician (we assume) who reset breakers and said we would be ok to use the stove that day but he would need to upgrade the breakers in the future.When cooking Thanksgiving dinner later that day the oven worked but there was loud snapping sounds and sparks coming from the stove when we tried to turn the burners on the stovetop on. We didn’t want to burn the place down so we decided to bring all the stovetop items back to my house and cook them delaying dinner by almost 2 hours.The host gave a (15%) refund for the inconvenience which I thought was small given the massive inconvenience and time I had to spend away from the family members who visited. I asked for a larger refund given the inconvenience and have not heard back from the owner yet.I would not rent the house if I wanted to use the stove to prepare large meals.

Hi Brian - Thank you for your feedback, and I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay. We take issues like this very seriously, especially when they affect an important family gathering. At the time of your visit, the stove was less than nine months old and had not shown any prior issues. When the problem was reported, we sent an electrician to assess the situation, offered meal reimbursement, and ultimately provided a $450 refund after checkout. Since then, GE service has confirmed the issue was a manufacturer defect, and the affected components are now being fully replaced to ensure this does not happen again. While we regret that this disruption impacted your holiday plans, we always strive to respond quickly, transparently, and fairly when unexpected issues arise. Our home has earned nearly all 10/10 reviews over eight years of hosting, and guest comfort and safety remain our top priorities. Your experience was not reflective our typical guest experience as evidence by other reviews. If you'd ever reconsider a future stay with us, we'd be happy to provide you one night free of charge in addition to the refund already provided. We hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday season.

Perfect Weekend!

I surprised my husband with a weekend full of good food, a little drink and a lot of ice fishing with his buddies (late 40’s for reference) and it was beyond all expectations! The house itself is absolutely gorgeous and the view is breathtaking! We were a group of 11 and there was more room than we’d ever need…could have fit 11 more easily without being cramped. We went on a freezing cold and windy February day so we didn’t get to enjoy most of the amenities, but we took advantage of the beautiful fireplace and nice warm blankets they left for us while some of us stayed in, played board and card games that they provided, while the brave, went fishing. I could go on and on but just let me say the house literally had EVERYTHING you could possibly need for kids and/or adults!! Katie answered all my questions in record time and also gave us advice and ideas to help us further when it came to bait, fishing spots and lots more. We would definitely stay again…hopefully when the weather is warmer 🤗

Beautiful lakeside home

Came with extended family for parents 50th anniversary celebration - two 70+adults, four 40+adults, and four children 9-12. The best thing about the property is the location and outside space - right on the peaceful little Sebago lake, with two docks, kayaks, paddle board and fire fit. The water was clear and warm and the kids would have stayed in the water all day if they could. Kayaks were well maintained and lots of little areas to explore. The house itself was beautiful and spacious, with large living space and enough dining space for all if we used the bar or outside space outside. Three rooms for adult couples and one bunk room for kids, as well as another living space downstairs. A couple of drawbacks - house is not airconditioned and we were there in 90 degree weather and it was HOT. This is obviously not the norm for Maine, but it posed a challenge for us. Two bedrooms upstairs had portable units for sleeping, but all the living space and downstairs were still very hot. One couple lived only 20 minutes away, and went home to bring a couple of their own window units so the the kids and third couple could sleep comfortably. Also, two of kids beds and adult bed downstairs were quite uncomfortable, able to feel springs, and we had to put down extra padding on the beds so the kids could sleep. But overall a lovely place, location could not be better, and as long it wasn't so hot, would come back in a heartbeat!

Thanks for the honest feedback, Kari. We just replaced the mattress in the upstairs guest bed and the bottom floor adult bedroom is next up this August. We will take a look at the bunks and see about adding additional cushion. Those beds are brand new and we hadn’t heard any feedback, so good to know if we need to make adjustments. Thanks for choosing Shady Grove Lake House for your special family getaway!

Perfect for family vacation, a getaway with friends, or a flex-cation/new work from home spot with gorgeous views and free wifi :)

What makes this property unique

Pull onto the dirt road and drive 1 mile to reach Shady Grove. Walk into a beautiful open floor plan upstairs with windows across the entire length of the home - almost as if you're sitting on top of the lake. Incredibly quiet and peaceful and you may just see a loon swim by as you look at the window over coffee in the morning. Two family rooms make it spacious and comfortable and the downstairs is perfect for kids watching a movie or playing while the parents can entertain upstairs.
