We loved our stay at the lake. Sitting on the dock watching the boats and wildlife was perfect. The house had everything we needed. It's a short drive to the grocery store and Winthrop is the cutest town to visit. Our first time to Maine and it did not disappoint.

Christmas 2 day stay

The house was perfect for us. We brought elderly parents with us which was very easy for them to access. The view was great. The directions were easy to follow. We were visiting our son and his family which they were only a 20 minute ride away in Augusta. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Thank you for letting us enjoy your place.

Cabin On the lake

This cabin is located on a beautiful lot on the lake with fantastic views. It’s an older house that has not been remodeled but is still very nice. There were a few small things I wish had been different—the cooking pots/pans definitely needed replacing, needed a lamp in the bedroom, and there was no hair dryer. But we had a wonderful time!
