Wonderful sister's weekend getaway

This home was so cute. We loved the spiral staircase and loft. Plenty of room for card games and a movie. The outside grounds were inviting with a fire pit, several seating areas and the hot tub. We did not use the sauna, maybe next time. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some delicious meals. Overall a lovely place for a quiet weekend getaway.

Relaxing in Casco

The home is very nice. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. While at the property, the weather was terrible, which was not the property owners fault. We were told too late to bring a fire stick for television use. That television should have been in good working order. Access to a local beach was not available to us. Due to daily rain, the hot tub was not used but was available. We did enjoy our stay and visited friends who lived locally. We recommend this property to others, but bring your a fire stick.

Great house for relaxing!

This was a great house for relaxing! It very clean with plenty of towels, pillows, etc. It said A/c but they were only in the upper loft and 1st floor bedroom. That was a little tough since it was so hot the week we were there. I don’t recommend staying if you have children under 5-6. The loft bedroom and spiral staircase made me super nervous with a small child. Older kids or adult should have no issue. The hot tub was wonderful and unfortunately we didn’t get to utilize the sauna. It was very peaceful set back in the woods. We were 5-10 mins from Sabego lake with great places to swim, rent boats or hike. Grocery store, ice cream and things for kids are also close by. Josh responded very quickly to any questions we had and was very helpful! We would absolutely come back on the cooler months to enjoy the property more! Thank you for a great stay!

Birthday Trip

Josh and Gayle's place is nice and as described. I choose their place because I was looking for a relaxing, quiet retreat that included a hot tub. I had an issue with the hot tub randomly shutting off on the first day of my stay, but Josh was responsive and got the issue resolved in a couple days due to it being the weekend. There were a couple more inconveniences I experienced during my stay: the stove top was broken with no backup cooking surface provided and there was not a clear, shoveled path from the deck to the hot tub upon arrival (I dug one out). There is a functional oven and microwave, but a temporary hot plate or additional free standing burner would be ideal until the stove top is replaced. Overall, the house and property provided a relaxing environment and is conveniently located, you'll even get to see a herd of deer wandering through the property at dusk.

Quirky and unconventional house, great hot tub and sauna, not ADA friendly

We were 2 couples staying here and overall had a good time in this very quirky and unconventional house, especially for the price, but a few things are worth noting for future renters. Pros: in a neighborhood but feels very remote/private; very clean upon arrival; great hot tub and sauna; cozy upstairs tv and sitting area, big windows with lots of natural light; 30-40 mins from Portland. Cons: downstairs bedroom was boiling hot even with the heat turned almost all the way down, and the en-suite bathroom is very small and the stall shower flooded the day we left; the loft bedroom has an extremely treacherous climb to reach (including to get to the bathroom which is one floor below) and is quite cold though has a space heater. If anyone has physical limitations, a fear of heights, or needs the bathroom a lot, the loft bedroom won’t work. The host sent detailed instructions and information though unfortunately only the day-of, and this included telling us the stove top wasn’t working which was not ideal when preparing meals and groceries for a 3 night trip. The Wi-Fi and tv worked well (there is cable) though you need a Roku or fire stick to get streaming.

About the host

Hosted by Josh and Gayle Genn

We traveled 6 hours to view property and returned three times thereafter to marvel at it before we purchased it from the original owner, a local artist who built the house and viewed it as a work of art. We hope to continue his vision and share his passion for the intertwining of both a unique architectural structure and nature.

Why they chose this property

This quiet, relaxing home is perfect for families, couples or friends seeking to find a peaceful getaway in a secluded, picturesque setting. The home is great for unwinding after an active day of Maine Life, recharging your personal batteries, reading or writing your next novel, painting or just dreaming. It is close to all seasonal amenities be it hiking the trails, cycling, all water sports and fishing on Lake Sebago, Winter sports include snowmobiling, cross country and down hill skiing. Property is just 5 minutes from Sebago Lake State Park.
