This cabin was the perfect getaway for an ice fishing trip with friends. Tucked away in the woods, it was peaceful, cozy, and exactly what we were hoping for. The cabin was clean, well cared for, and had everything we needed after long days on the ice. You can tell the homeowner truly takes pride in the place. We had an amazing stay and made some great memories here. I would absolutely recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a quiet, relaxing escape!

Nice getaway

We loved the main room overlooking the lake. It felt very cozy. The bedrooms are smaller and tighter than I thought. Communication with the owner was great, he replied very quickly.

We are directly on the water, we have a large yard in between which guests are welcome - and encouraged - to use! The house itself sits about 100’ from the water, by which amazing views are offered from windows, deck, and patio. In season (Memorial Day - Columbus Day) the swim platform is in the water, and stone stairs provide direct access.

Family Gathering

We were in the area for a funeral. All of the out-of-state family members were invited to stay at the house with us. It was a great place to simply be together. It was nice to make our own food instead of going out to eat. The hosts were extremely communicative and helpful. Some have already said we need to come back again!

Sheri and her group were great guests. They treated our home as if it were their own, and left it in immaculate condition. We would be happy to host them again anytime!

“Family Celebration of Life”

Wonderful spot for a family gathering! We came to Maine to attend a “Celebration of Life Gathering” for our Mother who was born & raised in the area. Our stay at this large, beautiful cabin was perfect for our immediate family to enjoy nature, the lake, memories & each other! The cabin was comfortable for a larger group. It came complete with all the comforts of home. By day we enjoyed water activities in the clear waters of Embden Lake, By night family camp fires with s’mores! Amazing, peaceful setting to relax & have fun! We hope to return next year! Would recommend this one of a kind get-a-way! ~The Greenwood Family

Beautiful Spot

The house was located in the pond, the dock is shared with a few other homes, so it isn’t private but we had no issue with that. I recommend bring floats and rafts. We loved the area. The house is open. The rooms are tight but we didn’t spend much time there so it didn’t phase us. We brought our own linens as there was a fee for linens which I have never had any other time I have booked a house. The only issue was they give you half the fridge and freezer and half the pantry space and with the number of people the house hold the space could be limited but we had no issue. We lived the location and the manager was very easy to communicate with.
