Lake life

If you are looking for a quaint Maine cabin on a lake, this is it! Shallow beach front, plenty of kayaks, canoes, and floats. Huge deck. Quiet lake and neighbors. There are plenty of positive things to say. Too many to mention!!Negatives: The kitchen is dark; adding some lights under the cabinets would remedy that. TV is small and there is only one. The house was clean on the inside....I think looking out a window and seeing thick spider webs hanging from the eaves and all over the deck is an oversight on the cleaners, not the owners, but merited a mention and the deletion of a star. Overall, a wonderful time.

Guys weekend

Had a guys weekend here with a group of 11 in our late 20’s. The location is awesome; secluded, scenic, and relaxing. Yard, water access, and the fire pit really made the weekend. House was great as well. Good kitchen, bathrooms, and comfortable sleeping arrangements for the whole group. Host was accommodating and communication was easy.

The house was very nice, well spread out. The lake though, absolutely gorgeous! The water was so clean, we heard the loons, and saw bald eagles. The town was not far away so if needed to run to store it was great. Great vacation!

Huge sandy beach with shallow swimming area

The house was big and spread out with lots of common space. We didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Had everything we could have needed. The yard and the beach are the best part for us. We spent all day out in the water. Calm enough for paddle boards. Great place! Would be perfect for children

Beautiful Lake

We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The beach and lake on their property is clean and perfect for kids. We were worried our busy scheduled kids would be bored. In the end, we had more than enough to do with the yard games we brought, boats, swimming, games, eating. We were lucky to be there when the Skowhegan State Fair was going on. The kids had a blast! The owner was responsive. House was clean and fully stocked.

Great

It is a beautiful lake setting with a great beach area. My kids and grandkids swam and Kayaked everyday the weather permitted. Water is not deep for a long way out, so no worries about the smaller kids getting in over their head. A couple of the kids did a lot of fishing and great success with sunfish, yellow perch and really nice bass. Cabin is spacious and great deck.

Another Enjoyable Stay

This was our fourth stay at this lake house. We enjoy it every year no matter what the weather throws at us. We appreciate that there have been many upgrades over the years. We also appreciate how responsive the owners are if a concern arises. It now is part of our family history so it holds a special place in our hearts. Thank you Michelle and Beth

Perfect Getaway

My partner and I had such a lovely time at this home. The house interior is beautiful and spacious. The couch is so comfy! The views were amazing. It rained the whole weekend, and we weren't even bothered as the home itself was so nice to spend time in. I highly recommend sipping coffee and looking out over the lake to get those relaxing vacation vibes started. The kitchen was the most well stocked one I've experienced, it had everything we needed to cook. Host was quickly responsive, and their departure instructions were simple to follow, and completely reasonable. 100 percent would stay again.

Chaplin-Boyd Vacation 2023

This was one of the most relaxing properties I've ever had the pleasure of staying. Very rustic. Great location. The hosts were very responsive to any needs and questions. I would definitely recommend a floating device for the lake. We had one that fit 6 and it was so fun to float on the lake all day. We fished and kayaked. The boathouse had remnants of wild life so it could have been cleaned out a little better and the hammock was really dirty but otherwise I highly recommend staying here if you want to relax with a beautiful view all day.

Great for families with little kiddos

We spent a week at this charming lakefront cottage in Madison and it was especially suited for our 3-generation family (including 5 grandkids under 3). Inside, there was plenty of room to spread out to play, talk or watch a movie. With some of the babies up frequently at night, it was nice to have the two separate bedroom wings. The very large deck overlooking the lawn and beachfront was fabulous for relaxing, cooking and eating together. The toddlers loved the sandy beach and we adults appreciated the shallow entry for them to play in the clean, clear water. Oh yes, the washer and dryer were handy too! The setting is certainly not remote, but it felt private and peaceful, and the lake was beautiful. We loved the old Maine camp charm of the place and hope to come back someday!

Great Get AWAY - THANK YOU!

This vacation was super wonderful. Enjoyed the perfect Maine cottage with my growing adult families. The beach was perfect for my 2 yr. old granddaughter, the private yard was great for our dogs, and the house layout for wonderful for sleeping and gathering. We rented a poontoon and had a great time navigating the lake, which is so clean, warm, & peaceful. We felt like it was all ours, not croweded and very enjoyable. My son and I went kayaking too. The house had everything we could have wanted, so well stocked compared to other rentals. The fact that this home had so many options to sunbathe, gather on the deck, go to the sandy beach, play catch with the dogs in the yard, explore the lake, gather in the family room and relax in the dining area made our stay so enjoyable. Loved listening to the Loons.... We ventured out to the Skowhegan Fair and found Donna's Ice Cream as well as had lobsters from "High Tide, Low Tide" and went to the "Maine Grain", and "Lakewood Inn" for dinner. My family really enjoyed this home. It was a great week of relaxing and being together. Thank you Beth....we will certainly return again!

Another great experience!

My family and I absolutely love this rustic lake house! This was our third stay and we have booked again for next summer. It offers so many amenities and opportunities to explore the area. It is so comfortable and spacious with many cozy nooks to enjoy for movie or game night. A recent kitchen remodel brought added ease of use for food prep. We also appreciate the privacy afforded by the surrounding trees. There is ample room outside for pickle ball ( in and out of the water) and other outdoor games. My favorite part is the sandy shoreline with spectacular sunrises and sunsets. It is always sad when we have to pack up and leave. Thank you so much for the lovely experience again this year! Joy S
