This was a lovely cabin at the end of a dead end road with frontage on a quiet pond. We paddled or hiked nearby every day and enjoyed our own home-cooked meals every night.
The camp offered everything we were looking for. Plenty of sleeping space, two bathrooms, and kitchen was fully stocked. Easy access to the water and wonderful views.Check-in was easy and host answered all of our questions in a timely fashion!

Oh my goodness, your photos make me wish I was the one up there! It was a pleasure having you!
Great stay! Property has everything you need. Views are wonderful! Very relaxing & private (at the end of the road). Close to Rangeley so you can enjoy restaurants & a seaplane ride!
This property exceeded all of my expectations. The house was spacious, well equipped, clean, private, and serene. We spent our days floating on the water, kayaking, grilling outside, and enjoying the wildlife. This property is perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking for a beautiful secluded hideaway. The surrounding town was quaint and charming. The owner was easy to contact and very friendly. I would 1000x book this property again. 6 adults stayed here on our trip and we all had plenty of space, and a fantastic time. Truly a great stay.

Thank you so much for your kind words, it was a pleasure having you!
The place was very well laid out for family with bedrooms seprated by large kitchen area (with great views of the pond and mountain) from great entertainment room. All the chairs recline! Pond was great for kids to beat the 90 degree heat, but not the best for adult swimming. Great location handy to Oquossoc, yet just outside town. Love the weird taxidermy!

Thanks for staying with us! We hope you made memories to last the rest of the year!
This house was perfect for my relaxing family vacation, we went kayaking, and relaxed outside for most of the day in the warm sun and at night had a camp fire with smores. The inside of the house was spacious and fit all 6 comfortably.
A very quiet and pleasant location. Very comfortable camp, nice beds, well stocked kitchen, nice new appliances. It is right on the water which we loved. We also loved that the pond is motor boat free so all we heard were the loons. Great camp and will definitely be going back again.
We only had a short time there, but all and all it was relaxing. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm on our one full day there, but we made the best of it! Plenty of space inside for our large family even on a rainy day. Plenty of canoes/kayaks for our family to all enjoy! The owners are very helpful and kind!

We thoroughly enjoyed having you and only wish we had some pull regarding the weather! lol! Thank you for the review and for choosing to stay with us!
The camp was as advertised-spacious-close to water-canoes and kayaks were perfect for enjoying the pond. Many hikes, good food, lots of games, bowling, and campfires; saw loons, ducks, otters, heron, and an eagle!!! Long road in but camp is peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable. Not a good swimming pond. Unfortunately the oven and dishwasher were not working-but we made do. Melanie was great to deal with and very responsive.
Can't say enough positive things about both the cabin and the secluded location. VERY well stocked, lovely kitchen, views galore, lots of comfy furniture and beds, and great canoes and kayaks. The area is lovely - Rangeley is less than 10 minutes away - and so many hikes, ATV's and swimming holes and adventures to be had..can't recommend it enough - for dogs and kids alike!! Many thanks!!

Thank you for being our guest, it was a pleasure having you!
My family, friends and I rented it because it was in the path of totality for the eclipse. We absolutely loved the cozy feeling of this place. The kitchen, fireplace, wood stove, wall mounts and decor. Its practically my dream house and we really enjoyed our stay. Thank you.

It was really great to have you, we always love hearing how people use our property and the total eclipse was the coolest use so far!
Communication with Melanie was prompt and very accommodating, even new bedroom window coverings. Quiet, beautiful spot on the water. Clean, comfortable cabin. Impressive animal mounts, all from the owners. Would highly recommend it. Hope to return again sometime.
Everything you could want was right there. We loved going out on the canoe everyday. We sat for hours just watching the two families of ducks. The views were spectacular. We loved listening to the loons every night. It was a relaxing breath of fresh air vacation. The host was terrific and the people in town were great. I actually cried when we had to leave. AWESOME VACATION

I found having you guys there was terrific, we absolutely enjoyed having you and I also cry when I leave, LOL!
The property is well equipped for a fun family stay. Plenty of bedrooms. A very comfortable living room that is well stocked with books, even for kids, and a good video library.
The canoes and kayaks were great to explore the pond. It was fun finding the ducks, frogs and dragonfly's while paddling around the pond.
The kitchen was well equipped, and the commercial grade stove made preparing food easy.
I would definitely return again.
Thanks to the host Melanie for helping make great family memories.
We had an excellent weekend! The host was very responsive and super helpful! Not only did she provide a great cabin right on the water, but she provided helpful resources of points of interest that made our trip three times better than it would have been. The cabin was clean, had all we needed, and the location was perfect! The description is 100% accurate. The host was hospitable, didn’t mind answering my questions, and has the best personality ever! Loved, loved our stay!

It's the best of both worlds: peaceful retreat and easy access to fun and excitement.
