Other things to note:
***The sleeping loft has sloped ceilings that are shorter than average, around 5’8” tall. This is a sleeping loft and although some children can stand upright, taller persons may need to crouch.

No smoking of any kind permitted.

Home is on a gravel road and is in a wooded area. You may encounter animals and insects in their natural habitat during your stay.

It is a very dog friendly neighborhood so you may come across dogs who live on the road walking off leash.

Due to the change in seasons the air conditioners are installed mid June- late September. The dock is installed around mid-May, and the outdoor furniture, grill, and water equipment are available from spring to mid October.

Winter Break

We enjoyed our stay at this property. Beautiful area with access to the lake. The interior was spacious, clean, and comfortable. Outside there was plenty of room for parking and places to play in the snow. The road is well maintained and easy to navigate even in the snow.

Exactly as pictured

This house was obviously brand new, well maintained, tastefully decorated and thoughtfully stocked. Immaculately clean and host was super proactive and communicative. It's probably worth noting though that it's a cabin not for larger than average sized people and I've never seen so many rules on a Vrbo (am a regular user, like 5x a year). It's all in the fine print so fully disclosed by property manager, just make sure you read it 😉

Great Location

My wife and I had a great week staying here. We loved the quiet location and the proximity to so many nice trails for walking our dog. Being close to Portland was nice and convenient as well. The house is very nice and clean, with everything that we needed for our week. The deck overlooking the lake is a great place to hang out. We will definitely consider staying again.

Great rental for a home base during a Maine trip

Our family of four and dog stayed here for a long weekend. It was a perfect rental for our needs. My only note is that the road up is very bumpy, take it slow- but its worth the drive.
