Amazing

Our stay was excellent and exactly as advertised, we had a fire on the patio next to the water each night and it was the peace I needed on our getaway. We had our own private dock that we were able to fish from and tan on with the chairs provided for us. Such a cute and beautiful lake and friendly people in the community. We loved Old Town and the Bangor area. Tiffany was super helpful and friendly, she made us feel super comfortable. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and the pillows are SO comfy!!! I will 100% be returning to stay at Lloyd’s cabin, and am so appreciative that they let us spend our Fourth of July weekend here!

Stunningly beautiful views! Well-maintained and spotlessly clean cottage. Kitchen has everything you need, and there are 2 fridges (one mini in the kitchen, one full with freezer in basement.) Weather was hot a few days during our stay, and the window AC unit in the living room kept the whole cottage cool. The upstairs loft is very cute and cozy but is only accessible via a set of stairs that’s really more like a ladder. Both beds were extremely comfy! Enough parking for 3 cars, which worked well when we had our son’s friends visit for an afternoon. The lake is perfect for swimming and kayaks or canoes. There are restaurants and grocery store about 20 mins away…the cottage is on the far side of the lake. Can’t recommend enough!

Pushaw Lake

Just a beautiful cottage. Right on the water which is exactly what we were looking for. Great parking, enough room for our kayak trailer and easy access to the water for our kayaks. Cottage was terrific. Bedroom sliders out to the patio and dock made getting in and out very easy. We had great weather, the lake was clean and clear and the kayaking and fishing was superb. Super spot!!

A great respite

Super sweet cottage with a phenomenal view! The cottage was spotless when we arrived thanks to the hard work of Tiffany! Just be aware that there is not a whole lot of room for your belongings since each dresser drawer and cabinet is filled with stuff for the house. Pack light! We had a great time and loved the house!

Lake Front Stay 2023

The Rental Property was very nice and all amenities were supplied. The Rental Property was nice and spacious. Our stay was enjoyable but was cut sort due to the pending Hurricane Lee heading as a direct hit so we left a day early. Otherwise the Weather was perfect temp of 68-73 each day. Lake water was perfect temp. So we relaxed as we had planed with the exception of Hurricane Lee. We will be returning... Best Wishes to the Owner making it thru the Hurricane.

Beautiful lake house with incredible view!

We had the most wonderful family vacation last week staying in this wonderful lake house. We arrived to find the house immaculately clean (thank you Tiffany!) and we loved the charm of all the wood and fun lake themed decorations. My daughters enjoyed sleeping in the loft area and the pull out futon was perfect for our son. My husband and I picked the bottom floor with the view of the lake to wake up to. The patio is where we spent a lot of time (thanks to sunny days in the 60s - we lucked out for mid-April for sure). We enjoyed the swing bench and reclining chairs and made s'mores in the chiminea at night under the most incredible view of the stars. And each evening we enjoyed the sunset and sound of the loons. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook and we enjoyed the extra space of the fridge in the basement since we brought some food with us. We enjoyed our tour of UMaine, had an amazing dinner at Thai Orchid in Orono, and spent a lovely afternoon walking around Bangor. We loved every minute of our stay! Thank you for sharing your home with us Lloyd and Jane.

Pushaw Lake Stay

Pushaw lake was beautiful and we had access to a canoe, but there was a $25/day charge for the Kayak, which we did not use. The cottage was clean and included a washing machine and dryer. The small kitchen had a gas stove and dorm-size refrigerator. The full size refrigerator was located in the lower level with the washer & dryer and next to the master bedroom. The bathroom was on the first floor so needed a flashlight to make a.m. visits. Also, the ceilings are lower than normal so be careful to not bump your head if you are tall (especially when going down stairs to the master bedroom and refrigerator). Didn't use the TV cause reception was poor. Also wish could locate manuals for the TV and "toaster." As I said, the lake was beautiful and very clean and peaceful. We enjoyed our stay while we hiked in the area and drove 1-1/2 hours to Acadia National Park.

A week on the lake

PROS: the view & the lake were beautiful, & quiet. The dock was very accessible. There were lots of available games & puzzles. All the kitchen equipment was in good working order & fairly well appointed . Very clean except 1 issue. CONS: Everything was spotless but a pillow case which was visibly dirty & had obvious blood on it. Thankful we had a couple of pillows with us as no extra linens were available. Bazaar set up: the main refrigerator was downstairs from the kitchen & through a bedroom into a storage/laundry room. The upstairs bedroom looked like it was an easy climb up from the living room but @ the landing it became a steep, built in ladder which was treacherous especially with a suitcase. The dock, outside area & lake were lovely but there was a scarcity of floats & water equipment. If there were more in the shed, we didn’t have access to them b/c the property manager, Tiffany, (admittedly) forgot to unlock it & didn’t let us know till the end of the week. What we thought was a grill was actually a griddle. We decided to make the best of it but the gas tank was empty. We replaced the tank (out of pocket) but the grill itself didn’t get hot enough to cook so that was a waste of our time & money. And you had to walk downstairs, through a bedroom or out & around the house to access the grill & picnic table. Lastly, kayaks were there in plain sight but Tiffany informed us it would be $25/day per kayak to use them. That is a bit outrageous.

This rental was adorable and the perfect size for two adults and two kids. The views off the back deck were beautiful. And it was so quiet and peaceful! Since it was mid October we got to see the leaves in their full colors, and a loon and some ducks. Also a few raccoons along the road at nights. The cabin had everything we could have needed, including extra blankets and pillows, a fully stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, etc. The only thing I would warn potential future renters is that the first floor ceilings are low. My husband and I are both 6 feet tall and were fine, but if we were a little taller it might have not been comfortable.

Great commuication with the property manager, Tiffany. She made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The view was outstanding. We saw loons and an eagle grab a fish right out the water. The outdoor patio was great for spending the day outside, has a fantastic swing and a gas grill. The camp is stocked with all the essentials and the beds comfortable. We would have liked bedside lamps as we like to read before sleep. The small fridge in the kitchen is surprisingly roomy, but there is a larger one downstairs (only slightly inconvenient). Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.

We had an extremely pleasant and relaxing few days at this adorable cabin. Everything is very tidy, clean and well cared for. Communication was beyond excellent with the property manager/housekeeper. Anything you need is already there - enjoyed a lovely fire in the chiminea and used the grill for a few meals. We brought a kayak and paddleboard and used them easily from the provided dock and shoreline. They have kayaks and canoes if you don’t have any! Good fishing on the lake as well. It’s a quick drive into town if you need anything or would like to dine out. We will definitely have to come back!

October in Maine

Very peaceful setting directly on Pushaw Lake outside of Old Town. Out of the way from the populated tourist areas but all are accessible within a 1- 2 hour drive. Communication with property manager was excellent and house had everything we needed. Old Town had good restaurant options.

About the host

Hosted by Lloyd & Jane Wickett

Host profile image
I was born in Old Town, Maine and graduated from the Husson University of Bangor. In the summers I worked on route 95 cutting trees through the Waterville area and then driving truck to pay my way through college. I spent the next 38 years working for a major retailer and traveled the world to purchase products. I now live in Florida but my roots are still in Maine where I was born.

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property from my cousin as we lived across the street from each other as we grew up. She could no longer give the property attention. I totally refurbished everything while keeping the size as it was due to restriction placed on property close to the water. You can no longer build on the water with a large cement pad as we have on this property.

What makes this property unique

This property is where my wife and I can finally find some peace and quiet from everyone. The looking glass mirror of the lake in the morning, the cool breeze from the water on a warm summer day or the dancing moonlight on the water at night make this a special time in our lives. Hot dogs on the open fire, burgers on the grill or fresh lobster in the pot are all great memories that last Life is memories and this is where you make them.
