Great cabin - that has everything you need during your stay with nice views and access to the pond. The inside was very clean and we loved the screened in porch and a campfire outside each evening during our stay. The place is pet friendly and our lab loved the place and it outdoor areas. We look forward to renting again.Location is close to Kennebunk, York and OOB. Nearby Biddeford is only 5 miles away with stores and restaurants.

Title: Beautiful pond-front stay with wonderful views!I rented this property for a relative who was between homes, and it was an absolutely excellent stay. The pond-front location in Maine is gorgeous and peaceful, providing a wonderful backdrop for her stay. The property itself was lovely, and the overall experience was fantastic. We hit a patch of exceptionally hot weather in Maine during the stay. Because the occupant couldn't physically use the water to cool off, the indoor heat was quite noticeable. The provided floor fans helped, but adding a small AC unit would definitely maximize comfort during unusually hot summer days. There was also a minor issue with ants during our stay. While we know this is common for rustic nature settings, it was a bit bothersome. Despite these minor comfort challenges, it is a beautiful camp, and we highly recommend it for anyone looking for a scenic Maine getaway!
