Beautiful spot on the lake! Extremely roomy, tidy and well stocked. Very close to the wedding venue my son got married at was an extra perk. The back deck is awesome and spacious and we had a lovely night around the fire pit.
There for project in the area .. accommodations were all as advertised .. old school camp feel with all the modern amenities .. well appointed with a local flair .. would recommend to all …
The house was very nice, well spread out. The lake though, absolutely gorgeous! The water was so clean, we heard the loons, and saw bald eagles. The town was not far away so if needed to run to store it was great. Great vacation!
Had a guys weekend here with a group of 11 in our late 20’s. The location is awesome; secluded, scenic, and relaxing. Yard, water access, and the fire pit really made the weekend. House was great as well. Good kitchen, bathrooms, and comfortable sleeping arrangements for the whole group. Host was accommodating and communication was easy.
The house was big and spread out with lots of common space. We didn't feel like we were on top of each other. Had everything we could have needed. The yard and the beach are the best part for us. We spent all day out in the water. Calm enough for paddle boards. Great place! Would be perfect for children
We had a wonderful stay at this lake house. The beach and lake on their property is clean and perfect for kids. We were worried our busy scheduled kids would be bored. In the end, we had more than enough to do with the yard games we brought, boats, swimming, games, eating. We were lucky to be there when the Skowhegan State Fair was going on. The kids had a blast! The owner was responsive. House was clean and fully stocked.
My partner and I had such a lovely time at this home. The house interior is beautiful and spacious. The couch is so comfy! The views were amazing. It rained the whole weekend, and we weren't even bothered as the home itself was so nice to spend time in. I highly recommend sipping coffee and looking out over the lake to get those relaxing vacation vibes started. The kitchen was the most well stocked one I've experienced, it had everything we needed to cook. Host was quickly responsive, and their departure instructions were simple to follow, and completely reasonable. 100 percent would stay again.
This vacation was super wonderful. Enjoyed the perfect Maine cottage with my growing adult families. The beach was perfect for my 2 yr. old granddaughter, the private yard was great for our dogs, and the house layout for wonderful for sleeping and gathering.
We rented a poontoon and had a great time navigating the lake, which is so clean, warm, & peaceful. We felt like it was all ours, not croweded and very enjoyable. My son and I went kayaking too. The house had everything we could have wanted, so well stocked compared to other rentals.
The fact that this home had so many options to sunbathe, gather on the deck, go to the sandy beach, play catch with the dogs in the yard, explore the lake, gather in the family room and relax in the dining area made our stay so enjoyable. Loved listening to the Loons....
We ventured out to the Skowhegan Fair and found Donna's Ice Cream as well as had lobsters from "High Tide, Low Tide" and went to the "Maine Grain", and "Lakewood Inn" for dinner. My family really enjoyed this home. It was a great week of relaxing and being together. Thank you Beth....we will certainly return again!
The place has everything you need except for food. They even had mayonnaise in the refrigerator when we forgot to bring some.Beautiful camp/home. Fit our needs perfectly

We enjoyed our time at the house and my daughter (2) and our dog loved the beach area and water. So much to do and play with! Highly recommend it for a family vacation!
