Worth every minute
Such a comfortable stay! We felt very welcomed and the check in / check out process was easy. Great communication from the owners and the home came as advertised with thoughtful extras in case anyone forgot some basics needs. Beautiful views of the lake from the dock and easily accommodated 5 guys on a golf adventure to Belgrade Lakes Golf Club. It was quick drive to the course which is our favorite public course in Maine. Thanks for a great experience. Would definitely stay here again. Brian L

"I love this house Grandpa"
Those were the words our 7 year old grandson kept repeating all week long, and then he asked if we were coming back again next year. Leave it to a 7 year old to sum up the family experience. It was a great week at a great property! We had three generations on vacation, including a 2 year old. Everyone had their own bedroom and bath, plenty of room to spread out and some privacy with three floors of indoor space and all of the outside amenities. The house was well equipped, had everything we needed and all was "as advertised" by the owner. Communication with Julie was thorough and efficient. We felt very welcome here. We brought our fishing boat and the dock was perfect for it. The lake was great for swimming, fishing and tubing with the kids. Having kayaks, a paddle board and numerous floats and tubes available for use gave us all many options to enjoy the water without having to haul that stuff up to Maine! I highly recommend this property and we are definitely considering a return trip next year!

East Pond
Property was nice and had any and everything a person could want while staying on the lake. Julie thought of everything right down to bug spray. Beds were comfortable and cozy. The to-do list before we left was a lot but didnt effect our overall experience.

We just completed our stay at this beautiful cabin and can't wait to book this home again in the future. The house looks exactly as it appears in the pictures but feels even more spacious in-person. There were amenities to cover anything you might've forgotten to bring, a fully stocked kitchen with many cooking essentials which we happily took advantage of, rooms with comfortable beds and linens with extras to spare, and various seating options to plop yourself down on (indoor and outdoor) to switch into vacation mode. We rented a boat to use on the lake and had no problems storing it at the dock which is just steps from the driveway. The water was perfect for swimming and other activities like wakeboarding and tubing, as well as fishing. We had a great time spending the day on the lake and coming back to the cabin to unwind. Though it might feel like you're far from civilization while relaxing in the cabin, there are many places about 15-20 min away to get anything you might need like groceries or dining options. We never felt like we were ever inconvenienced by the location or the home itself throughout our stay and look forward to doing it all again next year!
