Awanee cabin at the Meardon VRBO properties is so charming… If you’re looking for a rustic log cabin that makes you feel like you’re in the deep woods, This is the place for you! The wood-burning stove, the lofted bedrooms if you wish to use those - otherwise two really cozy, full size beds in the other two main floor, cabin rooms and all the amenities you need… Sitting on the deck in the morning and soaking in the main sunshine can’t be explained and must be experienced… David and Diane are amazing property owners and I highly recommend this property! This is our third stay at this cabin and we will be coming back

What a beautiful peaceful spot!

We enjoyed fishing, swimming, and lounging in the sun in this peaceful spot right on the lake. The dock was perfect, as well as the swimming area which was a great spot for the kids to go in. Just love this Rangeley area!

Quiet cabin steps to Rangeley Lake

For us it was perfect, cozy and quiet! We really only had to bring our food supplies! Lots of places to hike in the area, if you like doing that. The lake is so beautiful too. You can kayak, canoe or just relax with a nice swim! We had a great time! If hiking or relaxing is in your agenda for a getaway, this is the place!

Rangeley getaway

The property is as described. It is rustic and charming. Love the location so close to the lake. Plenty of seating inside and out. Enjoyed sitting at the shared beach area and the kayaks although one was not usable at this time of year since there are manufactured holes but no bottom seat or plugs so you get wet. David is a very responsive host who provided thorough property details and helpful information on area attractions and dining. Overall a wonderful experience during peak foliage!

Cozy cabin

If you like rustic, which i do, this property is a nice find. It is part of a group of 3 cabins, all of which are vacation rentals. You share waterfront facilities, including the boats. the boats are cheap and not very good; the paddles were adequate although there was only one adult kayak paddle for two kayaks. My advise: Bring your own paddles at least ( which we did). If you need heat, you have a wood burning stove and a couple of space heaters. I loved the stove and used it every day (early Setpember). There was a new camp being constructed right next door and an earth mover coming down the steep dirt road made quite a rackett coming and going. But the lakefront is beautiful and you're right down the hill from a very nice golf course. The cabin is dark, but well equipped and the wrap around porch was great. You have to bring your own water or visit a spring to obtain potable water, something we did not know until we got there.

Just OK

Nice location but cleaning standards were not high. We were greeted with a handwritten note on a piece of cardboard that said "welcome" " You have no hand towels or washcloths. I will bring them tomorrow." signed, housekeeper. Clean up needs some help. There was a box at the front door which looked like a wood box but it was filled with trash and old newspapers. We were disappointed to find cobwebs in our bedroom. We paid $75 for cleaning service. Not too happy about that.

lovely lakes and mountain retreat

Its a wonderful area in Rangeley for outdoor enthusiasts. The kayaks and canoe, paddle boats, life preservers are all in good , clean condition and we enjoyed using the kayaks and swimming when it was warm enough. If its going to be cool, bring warm clothes and ask how to use the wood stove. We were ok with the space heaters as it did cool down but if weather is cold would need the wood stove going. IIt felt like going back in time staying in a log cabin!

Where do I start?! Everything was perfect. Just what my wife and I needed. The way the cabin was left for us was perfect! Cut up firewood ready to burn, propane tank for the grill, towels and linens on every bed. All of it was just perfect. Hopefully we will be making this a yearly trip! So worth it. We can't wait to come back! Thank you so much David!

Rangeley Lake Cabin 161

This is a beautiful cabin right on the north shore of Lake Rangeley. The property location cannot be beaten and the cabin itself is spacious and though rustic, very comfortable. The beds and couches made for a fantastic night's sleep and the kitchen is well-stocked for cooking. The wrap-around porch has great chairs and a view of the water. We didn't have a chance to use the outdoor fire pit, but the indoor wood fire oven kept the whole cabin warm during one of the colder nights. David provided great local information about sights and restaurants and has apparently owned and/or managed these cabins for many years. His attention to the cabins and the properties is very evident. This is one of the best and most unique vacation properties we've ever stayed at!

Just Perfect

I was so looking forward to returning to Maine and spending time at Rangeley Lake. This trip had turned into our honeymoon and with 2020 being very challenging, for many reasons, rest and relaxation was a top priority. The property was very clean and nestled in the trees not too far from the lake where from the dock you had an excellent view of Saddleback mountain. The woodshed was full of split wood and we were thankful for the wood-burning stove as it was a bit chilly in the evening. The ceiling fan helped to circulate the warm air and we were very comfortable. David was very responsive when we had questions and I couldn't recommend this cabin more highly. Thank you for allowing us the pleasure, David!

Amazing getaway.

Overall great experience. The view from the beach access and dock is breath taking. The cabin itself was as described but the cleanliness had room for improvement. I have higher expectations given the current state of the world as we all should. Fully stocked with everything you could need for cooking and enjoying the beautiful surroundings. A definite uptah camp feel ("up to" for you non-Mainers). Very dog friendly however the deck is not good on the paws. The spacing is at least an inch between boards, to save money I presume. This creates a gap big enough for paws to go through. I even caught my foot on them several times.

Peaceful cabin

My son and I had a perfect weekend on Rangely Lake thanks to the cozy accommodation and wonderful accessories. The cabin was spotless and comfy - I loved the shower and completely stocked amenities including soft, soft towels and plenty of soap! We are experienced cabin hoppers and I can easily say that this one is one of our favorites. We so appreciated access to the canoe and spent two days on the lake exploring. Forewent the mountain hike to explore local waterfall within minutes away. Two completely beautiful, restful days with an icy plunge for me. Wonderful, iformative host who provided lots of suggestions for food, hikes and other local lore. Can’t wait to return!

Tidy cabin

The kitchen is well equipped, clean and the bar area a great extra counter space. Lighting in the cabin very good after dark. Fairly quiet location and perfect driveway for 2 vehicles. The small lawn area could have been freshly "clipped"! The town retailers are the friendliest and very good restaurants. Good beach for launching of canoe/kayak. A fun visit to a beautiful section of Maine.
