We were really, really impressed with Bohemian Rhapsody! The house is very nice, and it was clean and well maintained, and in a beautiful spot. The host left clear instructions for everything and was very communicative. If you are looking for a lake house in Maine, I highly recommend staying here!

Staying here at this cabin was a no brainer. We stayed here for new years with friends and having the open kitchen and living room with the wood fired stone chimney was amazing. Having the hot tub out on the deck for before the ball drop and after the ball drop was exactly what we were looking for! And Michael was so easy to talk to with very quick responses was so nice to have, making our stay easy and reassured for comfortable living. Thank you for your beautiful home and we look forward to staying here in the future!!!

We were lucky enough to have the hosts there when we arrived. They were warm and welcoming, gave us a tour of the beautiful property and we had a great conversation. The property itself is even more beautiful than the pictures show. Despite it being a some what rainy weekend we enjoyed our stay tremendously. Can’t wait to return.

Everything was amazing. The house, location, amenities. Our host was the absolute best. It's a big house so a question or two came up and Michael was super quick to respond and just a great guy. The kitchen was a breeze to cook in and quite stocked so we took full advantage of it and cooked some amazing food. And after a dip in the crystal clear hot tub, some of us sat in front of the fireplace and the rest around the huge dining room table, playing board games that were in the house. Beds were all super comfortable and clean. It was GOOD TIMES for sure. Great for a big group

We loved our stay at Bohemian Rhapsody! Beautiful home, it was perfect for our family. Plenty of room for us, our 3 sons, their wives and our granddaughter. It was very close to the wedding we were attending. If we ever need a place in this area again we would definitely stay here!

Amazing lake house!

This house was SO comfortable and well-equipped. We were actually on a work trip and didn’t get to spend as much time as we’d have liked, but we plan to return. The beds were comfortable, everything was clean and fresh, and the kitchen was amazing. It’s Really a perfect getaway.

Perfect kid-free getaway!

Beautiful property in a fantastic location. We were able to see bald eagles flying overhead from the hot tub, watch the locals out ice fishing while we walked around the lake & then come inside to enjoy a wood burning fireplace & cook meals in a full loaded kitchen with almost any utensils or spices you could imagine. Such a homey, quiet place to stay & enjoy some R&R. Easy communication & check in/out procedures. We hope to return again next winter!

a group of six went for a girls trip to start the year off with the perfect vibe and wow did this stay do the trick! from detailed check in instructions to an extremely helpful host, to the cloud like beds and heavenly hot tub, to the stand out views and chefs kitchen --- this house was like a dream come true! we're booked another stay halfway through our first and genuinely cannot wait to come back (the count down has already begun!)!

Magical and Whimsical

What a delightful stay at this beautiful home! The house was spotless and matched the description. The owners have curated their space beautifully with eclectic décor that appears to have been chosen with care. Surrounded by nature, the views are gorgeous. Snowed while we were there and it looked like a winter wonderland. We enjoyed our stay!

Wonderful escape!

My friend and I had an amazing stay at this magical chalet! We loved enjoying the hot tub and taking walks out on the frozen lake. We even saw some bald eagles! The house had everything we needed and was the perfect spot for a relaxing change in scenery. The fireplace was also a dream! We hope to come back in the future for more good times.

We absolutely loved our stay at Bohemian Rhapsody. The home, surrounding property and lake were all beautiful, clean and well maintained.

We would love to return and will be recommending the home to anyone that wants a relaxing trip to Maine.

Great place!

Absolutely loved this beautiful property! Beautiful home on the lake! Previous reviews mention the rules. I’m not sure how anyone could not have specific guidelines when trusting such a beautiful place to strangers. The owner was very kind and specific on what was expected. Great communication! Would love stay here again whenever it’s not booked!!

Anniversary Getaway

I've stayed at this property a few times, and I always love to come back. It's a great place to spend the weekend with friends, and a quiet, peaceful place to spend some time alone with a partner, which is what my husband and I did this weekend. There is nothing more relaxing than gazing at the stars in a secluded hot tub. The property is spacious and spotless. Communication with the owner is flawless and easy, and he even recommended some great places for us to visit during our stay. This weekend was five stars, as it has been every time I have visited Bohemion Rhapsody.

The house on the lake Is amazing

The house is absolutely beautiful. Extremely spacious plenty of room for a large group. The kitchen has absolutely anything you would ever need to make a wonderful meal. The deck is huge and there’s plenty of room to have dinner. They’re a little spaces where you can get away and have a little bit of private time as well. The dock on the lake has the most beautiful view! There’s also a little fire pit on the dock which at night is stunning!!
