We had a great time!! Susan was super responsive and very accommodating!! Thank you for a great week and the s’mores kit was a great touch!! Loved the coffee bar and our slow mornings at the lake!!
Very clean, beautifully decorated and comfortable. We only wished there was a tad more sunshine, due to the trees it was shady. Other than that, it was beautiful. Best sleep we have gotten, beds were very comfortable. Host was very responsive and answered questions quickly. We would definitely visit again.

Thanks also for taking such nice care of our home. I hope you’ll stay with us again sometime.
We were so pleased with our stay here! Everything was very clean, the location was perfect and the hosts were so friendly and accommodating. It was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to use the kayaks or grill, or have a fire in the fire pit, but it was awesome they were available! We'd definitely recommend staying here!

Great stay! Beautifully renovated house.
Very clean. All new appliances and the host communication was excellent.
The property is beautiful! Short walk to the lake and amenities are only about a five minute drive away. Within 30min of Old Orchard Beach and Portland, and 15 min from Sebago. We really enjoyed early mornings paddles on the crystal clear lake! Would definitely stay again.

This is our second time staying at this lovely home and it was even more memorable with all my little ones. I was able to have wonderful star gazing with a fire going in the fire pit and had enough space for the kiddos to run around. The house was as described, clean and cozy. The lake was less than 5 minute away with kayaks and fishing equipment provided. Thank you to Susan and Raymond for the great hosting.

Thank you Valente for your kind words
We are so happy that you & your family enjoyed your stay
Hope make it a family tradition
It was absolutely perfect! Easy access to Portland, Freeport and to North Conway, NH.
Accommodations were just right for our family of four. Great communication with the property manager. Would definitely come back!
Beautiful home with lots of space and privacy. Just a walk away from Watchic Lake - peaceful and relaxing location. Minus the construction going on on the main roadway, no complaints about the home or additional features on property. Would definitely recommend!
Great stay. Home was super clean and nicely updated. Beds were comfortable. The lake access is just a few minute walk down a dirt road. Kayaking was excellent. There is even a small view of the lake from the deck which was a nice surprise. Fire pit was wondering to sit and relax and the end of the day. Would recommend!
Nice & cozy house, just a few minutes from the lake
We had a great time staying at this property. It seemed to be recently renovated and it was super clean when we arrived. The coffee bar was such a wonderful idea. The kids enjoyed using the two kayaks, too bad there was no canoe in the property. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice and we recommend this property, especially for families with kids.
Cute little house. You can see the lake from the house and there was a canoe we paddled out on the lake.Nice deck with grill and firepit in the yard. Only downside was closeness to the main road. A bit loud at times
Beautifully remodeled cabin that was perfect for my wife and I and our three kids. The kids love sleeping up in the loft, and my wife and I loved all the amazing extra touches to make the stay pleasant. The coffee bar area was nicer than anything I’ve ever seen! Also just a short walk to the lake where are you can kayak/swim/etc., perfect for kids. There are a few ring cameras outside that would have been nice to know about, but otherwise everything was wonderful!
Our family enjoyed the A-frame house. Perfect for the five of us. Kayaking just a short walk to the boat ramp was fun. Well stocked kitchen for cooking family meals together was great fun. Shirt drives to Sebago, Orchard Beach, Kennebunk and Portland. The Alagash Brewery tour was enjoyed plus outstanding lobster rolls. Great time had by all.
