    It was wonderful! Beautiful view. The only complaint we have is that it has a musty smell. We could only think it was because the cottage is old. Would definitely stay again!

    Very nice place along the lake to unwind and relax. Any inquiries were promptly answered. The place was very clean and dog friendly - our dog had a great time running around the yard and hanging out by the bonfire. The beds were not the most comfortable but other than that the experience was great. If you enjoy looking at the stars, the view at night was top notch compared to what we're used to seeing back home.

    If you really like a rustic visit, this house is great. Our adult children found it an adventure. I didn’t have to climb the steep steps but that tub in downstairs bath felt like standing up in a rowboat. Not because it moved but since it wasn’t flat inside, it felt like it.

    My family, including dogs, stayed for 4 nights. The weather was cold and windy but the house was warm and comfortable. Loved sitting in the sunroom, the kitchen was well stocked, entertainment (TV and games) plentiful, claw tub very cool. Convenient to Portland and LLBean. Great hiking trails in Windham. Enjoyed our stay!

    Three ladies enjoyed four days at this property which was very peaceful and relaxing. Loved sitting down by the lake, roasting marshmellows and hotdogs with the bonfire, while watching the geese, ducks, and chippies. The house has lots of room with plenty of places for everyone to gather together. Will definitely stay here again!

    Power outage at 8:30 AM the morning we were departed. This included no electricity or running water. Wondering if this is a common occurrence?

    Lovely lake house with a truly beautiful view! Lots of space for dining, and charming nooks with lake views on both floors. Kitchen is well-appointed, and a nicely curated collection of books, games, and puzzles available for rainy days and evenings. Beds are very comfortable, with lots of soft blankets available. Air conditioning is wonderful, and fans were also available. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards, etc, and different sizes of life jackets available for the whole family to have fun on the lake. Fire pit, deck with grill, hammock and lovely yard to enjoy. There are 2 refrigerator/freezers in the home, which was very useful. (One note, this is a lake house filled with charm and quirks, and has quite a steep staircase to the second floor without a railing. There is a walk-in shower upstairs, and a lovely claw-footed tub in the downstairs bathroom, which, unfortunately, may make this a less ideal rental for elderly guests with mobility issues.) This rating would be a 5, except for a few housekeeping issues that we discussed with staff, and will hopefully be addressed in time for the next renter!

    My family enjoyed the use of the kayaks and floats available. Cottage location made it easy to get back and forth to Portland. The air conditioning was a Godsend with the high temps/humidity Maine was experiencing. Kitchen was stocked with all the pots/pans to cook meals as well as the grill. Nice patio table to enjoy meals and relaxing.

    a peaceful, beautiful cabin with a gorgeous lake front setting. This is a very old cabin that has been updated/renovated but done so that the old fashioned feeling is still present. Would love the opportunity to stay here again!

    The house was really great - plenty of room and a nice and serene. Older house with squeaky and uneven floors but the decor and some modern makeovers made it have great character! Communicating with property manager was very easy and we got prompt responses. The only thing worth mentioning that needs attention is the little bridge to go over to get to the driveway. Luckily we have a higher car but anyone with a regular sedan would have bottomed out and/or possibly got stuck. I’m sure it was weather related as to why it got so bad since we’re just coming off winter but that would have caused a big problem for someone else’s car and can’t imagine they’d be too happy. Aside from that, great little place.
