Family-friendly!

Cabin was clean and comfortable. The surroundings were beautiful and peaceful. The pond was great for swimming and canoeing/kayaking. Within driving distance to other great NE lakes, beaches and cities/towns.

Cool Log Cabin in the Beautiful Woods

Very cool log cabin. Love the openness from bottom floor to upstairs. Had everything we needed! We really enjoyed swimming in Goose Pond, kayaking to Mousam Lake and walking around the area. Jennie was a great hostess! Thanks for everything!

Peaceful cabin in the woods

We very much enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Open concept. Lake was clean and refreshing. We were disappointed that the canoe was not available this time around as we flew here and we were looking forward to using it. Thankfully a relative brought us one. Overall, everything was great!

Great getaway vacation home

Comfortable, clean, and charming! The owners provide just about everything you could need outside of food. The location is absolutely beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice, especially the dock. Not much in terms of close by amenities but that was a plus for me, driving through the wooded hills was fun and very relaxing and the distance keeps it quiet, nothing was too terribly far of a drive though so no complaints overall.

Could not have been better

There are not enough positive words to describe our stay. Beyond perfect. Above expectations. Fabulous Host. Beautiful cabin. It was spotless, well stocked, quiet. The beds were comfortable and had lots of bedding for the chilly nights. The shower was hot almost immediately and great water pressure. I could go on but won't bore you! Everything was exactly as described and more. We cannot wait to be back.

Peaceful, restful week.

Quiet area, rather isolated, but not far from Wells and Old Orchard Beaches in ME and Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, and other points of interest, such as a Shaker Village where the last 2 remaining Shakers live and work. Near Kennebunk, Ogonquit and other tourist areas.

Wonderful Maine Cottage

We, four adults and two young children stayed here and had a wonderful time. The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, grilling outside and walking the forest trails. Jennie was quick to respond when I had a question and the children’s toys were a big plus.

Great place. They make it easy

Out stay was so relaxing. The property is beautiful, just as described. Clean and they have tried very hard to make it easy for you. Linens, towels, TP, even emergency toiletries. They have gone out of their way to make this homey and welcoming. You feel as if you are at a friends place rather than a rental. Great value!!! We had six people two adults and four older teens. Plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely rent again.

Perfect family getaway!!!

This was our second time renting this home. Unfortunately it rained the entire time. Despite that, we all still had a great time just staying inside. There were enough things to do to keep all four kids occupied for the entire time. We will definitely be back.

Lovely home to spend a week in!

This was a great place to stay as we visited family nearby who were renting right on Mousam Lake. The house was quiet and comfortable, and we liked the conveniences of having a full kitchen, separate bedrooms for everyone, 1.5 bathrooms, and laundry! Loved all of the books and decorative touches as well. Wished we spent more time down at the tranquil docks. All in all, a very nice rental.

Such a great getaway!

We came to the house with 3 adults and 3 kids (5, 4, & 1)! It could not have been better for the kids! They had amazing toys, books, and art supplies - and it kept them constantly busy! They loved the room upstairs with the twin beds and we loved hearing their laughter from downstairs! The pond was beautiful - refreshing and the walk there was easy. Jennie was extremely responsive and thoughtful - she helped us find a booster seat for my 1 year old. We are already talking about when we can go back!
