Amazing place!

We arrived pretty late at night so if you don't know where you are going, it could seem a bit daunting. However, the house was clean and ready for occupancy. It was very warm so with no AC, the first night was rough but we muddled through. The view is absolutely spectacular! Oh . ..sitting out in the provided chairs and sipping your beverage as you take in the scenery was the best part of this trip! All the amenities available in the house made staying very enjoyable and having friends over to kayak and eat was cherry on top! Thank you for a great weekend stay!

Relaxing Get-a-Way

We had a wonderful time once again at this small camp in Somerville. It was a getaway for just my husband and myself, and we spent much of the time sitting on the porch, enjoying the serenity and the wildlife, reading a book, and sometimes sipping a cocktail. We did make a trip into Augusta when my husband’s phone died and that was an easy and short trip. The camp feels remote, but it really is not that far from any services one might need. We also had lunch on that trip in Manchester, ME, at the Kennebec Cabin Company’s/Maine Cabin Masters’ restaurant, the Woodshed. We also enjoyed some kayaking in Long Pond and a short way down the Sheepscott River. And as usual, when we had questions, Jessica was very responsive. It was a wonderful week.

Great Beach for Small Kids and Close to my Nephew

I first looked for a place on a lake near my nephew as he was dealing with cancer. He had recommended a place nearer to his home but the shoreline was rocky. This place has a small beach which is perfect for kids. Everything you need is there. I wish I could afford to stay longer. Jessica is very easy to work with.

About the host

Hosted by Jessica

I grew up in Maine and enjoy coming back for as much time in the summer as I can.

Why they chose this property

I choose this lake because it has all the amenities of lake life but leaves the hustle and bustle of larger lakes behind! It is small enough to feel safe and private and allows motor boats (unlike other small lakes in the area). Small children can play in the private beach area and although a few boats may go by, they won't be a threat to the safety of children swimming.
The private beach area is unmatched. The water is clean and clear and I love fishing from the shore! The sunsets over the lake make me never want to leave.
