This was our 2nd stay here and we had a super relaxed time at the lake. enjoyed swimmingly,kayaking, and just being together as a family. Thank you for the great stay and we will back again!
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
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.
My family and I had a nice time at this cabin. We have stayed in many similar properties and this was one of the best. Wished we brought a motor boat to explore the lake but we had fun on the kayaks, canoe and paddle boat.

Serenity and Peaceful
the property is not new by any means and it has that rustic cabin feel which is just what I was looking for. It was very peaceful and clean. The towels and bedding was fresh and the little TV was all you needed. Me and my father had a great stay. A few things they could provide that would have really made it perfect are small but when we needed them it seemed like a big deal. :) We bought a lobster but did not have claw crackers. the can opener did not work so that was interesting trying to open a can. we did have fun with it though. I had 2 graduations to attend but no hair dyer. Air drying takes a long time. There was no salt and pepper. I didn't realize how much salt and pepper I use and how much I would miss it. There is no Tupperware for left overs so we had to throw food out. There were 2 bigger things that definitely need to be fixed. The shower does not drain and the stove settings. The low is high and makes it very difficult to cook on. Overall I am glad we stayed here and would probably rent again but would be extremely happy if these items were there the next time. :)
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 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.
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.
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 !
Perfect week in a quintessential Maine lakeside camp complete with kayaks, fireplace and dock. Inside the cabin was clean, cozy and had the feel a family. upstairs bedrooms where spacious and the king size bed was a comfy as a cloud. Best weeks vacation we have had as a family ever
This cottage has everything you need to enjoy your stay. Gorgeous lakeside views, boats for exploring the lake, great spot for swimming. House is very nicely set up, even had toys and books for the kids. We loved it!
Steps from the water, fire pit, hammock, comfortable beds, and basically everything you need in a kitchen…what more can you ask for? Great time was had by all including 2 teens and dogs. Excellent communication with owner and caretaker. Clean cottage and property. Overall excellent vacation.
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.
Had a relaxing and enjoyable long weekend. The weather was not great, but the house, location, and amenities were perfect for our family of four and our dog. Would definitely stay here again!
Beautiful lakefront property. Meticulously decorated in old town country fashion. Tiffany was professional and accurate with our questions. Wished we could’ve stayed longer.
