Perfect lake house

The house is beautiful, spacious and immaculate. Our family had plenty of room to dine together or spread out for different activities. Everything that we needed was provided. It has a beautiful view of the lake and mountains. The swimming area was sandy and clear. We enjoyed the kayaks and tubes. Everyone said it was our best vacation house and didn’t want to leave. We hope to stay again next year!

Perfect family week

We had the best family week. House was everything we could have asked for. Songo Pond, beach area and dock were perfect for our group of 7 adults and 2 children. We enjoyed the fire pit and screened porch. The ducks, bald eagle and loon family were fun to watch. We would definitely love to return. The house was as amazing as the photos online. We also loved the location near Bethel for golf, groceries, breweries and Sunday River Resort gondola ride.

End of summer stay

Our stay was great for the most part. The location was close to town, the sandy beach and dock were great for swimming and fishing for our kids. The house overall had most that you needed. A couple of things to note. There was no outdoor furniture out on the upper porch off of the master bedroom. That would have been nice to have so you could sit outside and use/enjoy it. The fire pit had some nice Adirondack chairs but there was one very broken chair that was a hazard that should have been removed. There were also quite a few broken canoe paddles left to be used as well as dishes still down by the fire pit when we arrived. I think if there was more attention to detail and doing walkthroughs of the property by the manager to see if anything is broken or needs to be tossed or replaced that would have been more welcoming.

Beautiful location, cozy stay

What a perfect spot and a cozy stay. House had everything we needed for two couples, a single adult, and the three kids among us all! Host was very responsive. Even though one of our three long weekend days was rained out, every single day of our trip was wonderful. Highly recommend! A few things to know about the property- the bunk room is in the basement along with a great game/TV room and a 3/4 bath. For our bigger kids this was perfect; might not be as great for toddlers or little kids who sometimes still need a 2am drink of water and a snuggle. Absolutely perfect for tweens and teens who want to be able to sleep in while you enjoy your coffee by the lake, though! The range is electric, works great with plenty of cooking utensils and cookware. We did a combination of campfire cooking, eating out and eating at the house; it worked great. The basement is a very tidy basement, and it’s also still a basement in Maine. If you’re there in the fall and your little girls have delicate constitutions you might want to go on a quick daddy-longlegs hunt in the bathroom before you send them down there (or not; I hear exposure therapy builds character!) The fire pit by the pond just can’t be beat. We were there too late to swim but it looks amazing. Hopefully we’ll make it back for a longer stay at a warmer time! Many thanks to the lovely host and lovely house.

Family/Friends Vacation

Beautiful house with direct access to waterfront. We had so much fun fishing, kayaking, swimming and jumping off of the swim out dock. Many lazy mornings spent on the deck overlooking the beautiful scenery. House was plenty big for 9 people.

Great stay in Maine!

Great stay at a lovely home. Beds were all comfortable, the kitchen well stocked for cooking, downstairs extra space for teens and bunk room with bathroom and shower. Porch with great seating and views. Best of all the lake was great with beach entry and a floating dock to swum to with inflatable tubes to float on too! Nearby hikes were also fun!

Incredible

We were overly excited to go on vacation, as it was long over due! The cleanliness of the house was not that great , there was trash in one of the bedrooms and under the couch and dirty sinks! The clothes I. The dryer on day 2 we found and they were still Wet, and now smelled! The canoe seat was missing a bolt and was broke n but was fixed after we brought it to someone’s attention! And we lost power on the last night and packed up and left early seeing how Boone could shower or use any water. We enjoyed the property immensely! And hope to return In the future!

Great house, great location, and definitely will come back!!

Other than the screens being somewhat tattered and the light bulbs needing replacement, this was a fantastic rental property and location. We stayed here with another family and we had the best time hiking, swimming, horseback riding, kayaking, boating, and fishing. We definitely want to come back for another visit. Thanks for the great trip!

Birthday Getaway

My family and I rented this property as a surprise birthday getaway for my mother. The house was perfect for all ages and the property had everything we could have wanted! We really enjoyed mornings kayaking the lake and nights sitting by the fire. The kids had a great time watching the loons and herons that frequent the lake with the binoculars kept in the living room. We even spotted a bald eagle while kayaking! The property managers were welcoming and friendly. Highly recommend!

Great getaway!

What a great spot! This was a perfect getaway for our family. The location was perfect, the house was well stocked and had everything that we needed (and more), the dock was perfect for the kids to fish from. There were two bundles of firewood waiting for us next to the fire pit. We found the house to be clean, beds comfortable, and everything was consistent with the description and pictures online. Thanks again and we hope to be back!

Nice home on beautiful pond

We enjoyed our 4 night stay and loved the view of the pond it offered. We liked the bedroom space for our family of 6. The mattresses were comfortable. The house was well equipped with kitchen supplies and nice linens. The view and private beach we loved the most. We rented paddle boards for 2 days from the local sports store in bethel and they delivered them within 20 min of calling and picked them up as we were leaving. Great service! We also enjoyed using the kayak, canoe and swim dock. The Few negative things I will mention were the cleanliness upon arrival. The downstairs basement bedroom needs to be vacuumed more. We had to vacuum up dead bugs and cob webs so my children would sleep down there. Also, the carpeting needs to be replaced in all the rooms. It’s Extremely old and worn. The AC did not seem to work well in the upstairs. It took hours for it to cool down at night. We had to keep AC low during day so the upstairs would have a chance at remaining semi cool for bedtime. We would definitely consider renting this house again because of private sandy beach and beautiful view.
