Fantastic get away

I rented the house with a group of moms for a weekend. The house was perfect. It was very clean and organized. It had everything we needed. The open kitchen/living room area gave us enough room to congregate inside. We didn’t even turn on the TV because we spent our days outside in the beautiful weather. The gas grill and fire pit were great. Heidi was very responsive with messages. We plan to rent it again next year. Thank you.

Enjoyable Thanksgiving Family Gathering

Our stay over Thanksgiving included family members from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The large fully stocked kitchen worked out very well for us.

Autumn Trip

The setting was beautiful and very peaceful. The loons were daily visitors and we loved watching the fog burn off each morning. Very relaxing.

Beautiful - even in the rain!

This house sits on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views from the living room and upstairs. Even though it was raining all day Saturday of our weekend away, we enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the kitchen and comfy couch. It was great to bring our dog, too - he had a great time.

A Cozy Getaway

My friends and I went to this beautiful getaway for our friends wedding. It was a great location, easy to drive to, and so many amenities available for you. Our only complaint was that we felt the house could have used a cleaning and a change of sheets the day before to ensure its cleanliness. We had some sheets that appeared stained and dusty with, perhaps, pet dander. Additionally, thw floors were very dusty/dirty. Our socks were covered. Beautiful, welcoming, comfortable, but dusty.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Mahoney & Marc Dupuis

We grew up in Southern Maine and enjoy everything this great State has to offer, from Hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, kayaking and running we try to do it all. We spend as much time outside in nature as we can. We love to travel and explore but there is nothing like coming home to Maine.

Why they chose this property

Because we've lived in Maine our whole lives we knew we wanted to buy a lakeside property so that we could share a little piece of our lives with others. We take pride in offering an experience to our guests that they will talk about for years to come.
