Getaway to enjoy fall colors

It was a 10 min ride in from town which was fine. We wanted secluded and it was. House heater warmwd up the entire house, when needed. Fire pit to sit near at night made the nights perfect, looking out from the dock at the water and fall colors was beautiful. Haeverything we needed there

Beautiful place

This place is perfect . The lake is gorgeous and warm water. The house has everything you need. Host was great and Tiffany the tank filled up and alarm went off someone was sent out right away on a Sunday to take care of it. We enjoyed our stay . It's great for boating and swimming. You are close to Bangor and not that far from Acadia . There is lots of utensils and dishes ect. The shower has great hot water and pressure. The beds were comfortable especially the master king bed. Highly recommend . Great location peaceful.

Great location

Beautiful setting on Pushaw lake. The cabin was great. Had some issues with the septic system and had to conserve water for half our stay. The septic pumper never arrived while we were there, although the system never backed up. Great “cabin” feel and in the peak of fall colors.

The near miss

The cottage is well appointed and in a great location. Tiffany was very responsive as a property manger. There was so much to love about our stay at this lakefront cottage. I wanted to start my review on a positive but also note that a lot went wrong as well. I wish I had known a few things about the property before reserving the space 1. The house does not have a generator, we lost power on the second day of our stay which meant we did not have any running water as well as no electricity. I have never stayed in a home that the water was tied to the power so this came as a bit of a shock. The toilets did not flush and nothing came out of the taps when they were open. It was restored by the next afternoon but once it came back on the septic tank alarm went off. 2 A full septic tank can result in the contents backing up into the house. This meant that even though the water was running we could not flush toilets, wash dishes or bath. These issues began on Tuesday evening (day 2 of our 5 day stay) the septic tank was emptied on Thursday afternoon (day 4 of 5) It was very frustrating to have paid to stay in a home without being able to flush toilets, shower or even wash your hands. I have 7 & 5 year old boys and some other troubling issues with the cottage included some nails that were sticking out of the stair wall. There was also a large piece of furniture in the boys room that was not secured to the wall. It wobbled so much that we couldn't leave the boys up in the room unsupervised for fear that they would have it fall on them while trying to get to the toys and books on top. Tiffany mentioned that she passed all of the issues that we had on to Jill the owner but at no time did the she reach out to see if we were OK or to offer us anything not even an apology. I don't know if the tank was full because we chose to bath on our first day there but if showering or taking a bath is something you can't do in a rental it would probably be a good thing to know. If it weren't so cold out we may not have been so bothered by everything that happened but it was Maine in February so we did spend a lot of time indoors. The location is great, the neighbors were all very nice but the septic tank issues were awful. I probably wouldn't have written this review if the owner of the property had reached out to apologize. It made me think that the issues we had were pretty ordinary and if I had known that before I booked I would have gone elsewhere.

Exactly as described

We really enjoyed spending Christmas here. The cottage was perfect to spread out and let everyone have some space but still spend time together. The cottage is right on the lake and the winter views were beautiful. Great communication with property manager The roads were cleared quickly after a small snow. The neighborhood was quiet and well kept. It took about 15 minutes to get to town for groceries, etc. There is a nice kitchen and bathroom. The two bedrooms upstairs beds are so comfy. The kitchen has everything we needed. The stairs are steep so might not work for people with mobility issues.

Wonderful Spot

Jill's property is exactly as described - clean, comfy, and wonderfully located for a Maine getaway. We made good use of the provided kayaks to explore the lake, encountering lots of loons, and spotting a bald eagle on a couple of the outings. The immediate area has some nice short hiking spots (e.g., Orono Bog Walk), and a day trip to Acadia is well within reach (and, of course, highly recommended). Tiffany provided us with all the information we needed, and we found everything in the house that we required for cooking and having a relaxing time. A word of warning is that the ceiling going up the steps to the bedrooms is low near the top, so those over about 5'10" will want to take note. We had a great time at this spot and would definitely consider staying there again.

Excellent Pushaw Lake location with all the amenities !

The photos provided on VRBO are 100% true to life ! This cottage was truly lakeside, clean & completely furnished ! Everything was provided from linens to every kitchen utensil needed to prepare a feast ! The cottage is furnished with sunny day perks : paddle boat, kayaks, canoe, a fantastic gas grill and for an inside rainy day : books, games, TV & very good WiFi. Bedroom views & comfort couldn't be better ! The tranquility & quiet beauty of the Lake made this the perfect location for our family to meet from out of state. Tiffany was instrumental in making our arrival & check in easy, and her enthusiasm & availability in making our stay painless was very much appreciated ! Thank you for a great experience !

Fun, Family & Relaxation

This waterfront cottage was just what we needed for a summer family getaway. The lake is just steps from the screened porch, which was a perfect spot for our morning coffee. We used the kayaks almost daily and took our dog (with her puppy PFD) on the pedal boat! We saw loons, ducks, bald eagles, and a Great Blue Heron came to feed multiple times right near the property. The neighborhood is quiet and friendly. The house was very clean and had everything we needed for a cookout or making meals in the kitchen. Most of our meals were out at the picnic table with a nice shade umbrella. We loved sitting by the firepit at night as well. My kids balanced their nature time with using our Netflix account and the very reliable wifi. Everyone had enough space to have alone time or be together for games. Within a short drive were all the groceries or restaurants we needed in Old Town and Orono, and we went to the Orono Farmers Market (open Saturday and Tuesday) as well. I can’t say enough about how friendly, accessible, helpful and responsive the property manager, Tiffany, is!! This place is a nice balance between being a cozy camp and having some comfortable amenities like air conditioning and the wifi/entertainment options I’ve already mentioned. We would definitely stay here again and recommend for families, smaller kids would love it as well.

Nice waterfront cottage

This cottage is right on the water! There is ample equipment for fun and relaxing outdoor activities. The house is in the middle of some structural changes which, when completed, will earn the "5", but as it currently sits, the stairs to the second floor are uneven and made for some tricky middle-of-the-night trips downstairs to use the first floor bathroom. It also didn't help that four out of five in our family are tall people and we all banged our heads while accessing the stairs. We will likely return for another respite in this quaint cottage.

Plenty of laughs and R&R

What a wonderful cottage. We received a text as soon as the cottage was ready, it was clean with everything we needed to settle in right away. My boys got to fishing in the canoe and off of the dock right away. We had fires at night, cooked s’mores while looking at the beautiful lake. It was better than we imagined and I hope to be back to enjoy it again. Communication was top notch before, during and after our stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to rent this cottage again. Thank you for a fantastic family getaway

Just what we needed

We had a wonderful time at the camp. It was incredibly clean and cozy-much nicer than any other camp we've stayed in before. Tiffany was so thoughtful and kind and we were so grateful that she offered to turn on the air conditioners prior to our arrival so it would be cooled down for us during our hot July stay. The kids loved fishing and frogging off the dock, the paddleboat and all the great books in their room. We especially loved coffee in the morning and sunsets at night snuggled up on the patio daybed away from the Maine mosquitoes. Having the grill, kayaks and paddleboat to use was great as well. It was just the relaxation we needed!
