Escape to our cozy Winthrop cabin on Dexter Pond

Awesome cabin on Dexter Pond! Rick and LouAnne were terrific hosts! We loved drinking coffee on porch overlooking the pond, watching sunset and kayaking. Saw family of loons and bald eagle on the large pond. Classic Maine cabin! Not big but comfortable. Hosts were very responsive if we had any questions. Make sure to try their farm fresh eggs and honey!! Hope to visit again!!

The cabin is quaint and very clean. Having use of their kayaks and canoe made for a fun afternoon. The loft was a bit tricky for my husband and I to go up and down. Actually, it was hilarious. Haven’t laughed that hard in a long time. All in all, it’s a great little getaway spot.

Great cabin, great location, hosts were so easy to communicate with- highly, highly recommended!

This is an amazing property. We stayed for 3 nights, right on Dexter pond. Cabin is quaint and beautiful. Lovely stay and highly recommend for a weekend getaway. We fished, had an outdoor fire. Visited a couple of local restaurants. The cabin was fully stocked as noted in the description. Very comfortable and we will definitely return.

Had a wonderful couple of days. So relaxing. We really enjoyed it. Would stay here again.

Lou-Anne & Rick are very kind, thoughtful and attentive hosts. Dexter’s pond and cabin is very clean, cozy and beautiful, being there gives you a deep sense of tranquility. My husband and I spent our 14 year wedding anniversary here and we just can’t say enough about it! It was a wonderful getaway we will not forget! We will definitely come back!

What a wonderful, peaceful stay! The cabin was perfect, well thought out amenities, comfortable, clean, and loved hearing the loons calling. We brought our own Keurig coffee maker as my Client preferred ut. But the coffee/tea station was lovely!We stayed a whole week and when we weren't gathering for activities elsewhere we enjoyed sitting on the porch or Adirondack chairs by the pond.

Lou-Anne and Rick are the cream of the crop as hosts. Lou-Anne came right over to fix my wi-fi connection. We had a good conversation, too, about the history of the cabin. It is small but adorable! Not too much Maine decor, just right, cleverly displayed. The owners have made their cabin fully functional even in tight places. Very comfortable and attractive. As for Dexter Pond’s natural habitat, while we were kayaking, we saw a mother loon with her baby on her back, an eagle in flight, and an egret at our dock. One thing to note ahead, is that the photo of the shore doesn’t show how small it is. There is barely a patch of sand and the bottom is all muck and weeds as far as you can walk out. It is impossible to swim at the shore or even at the float because it’s surrounded by weeds in the water. One bright idea I had was to go to the Winthrop Town Beach. It’s free, has picnic tables and benches, life guards in season, port-a-potties, a sandy beach and a gorgeous lake named Maranacook. There is also a boat launch! Hope this helps those who want a nice place to swim and a larger lake for boating. All that said, our stay at the cottage was quiet, tranquil and refreshing. Go and enjoy!

Great property in a beautiful and quiet setting - thank you for sharing - will be returning!

We had a wonderful stay at this cabin. It has a porch overlooking the pond, a fire pit, outside table and chairs, and kayaks you can use. The full size frig and grill are practical, and the comfortable bed and living room chairs appreciated. It is nice and quiet here and the sound of the loons on the water really make you feel like you are away on vacation. The landlords are nearby and very helpful.

Very clean, lovely Maine camp! We had a great stay! Owners are very responsive and right nearby.

This was our first experience in this area of Maine. The cabin was cozy and immaculate, and grounds were well maintained. Perfect for two people. It had everything you needed, from several outdoor seating areas, binoculars, and even a citronella candle for the pouch where we spent the majority of our time enjoying the loons hummingbirds, and abundant other wildlife I would like to thank the host for their exceptional attention to detail. We will return soon

We loved our stay on Dexter Pond. The cabin is charming, clean and comfortable. There were bottles of water and fresh eggs in the frig. There were helpful notes around the cabin explaining how things worked. The big yard had a fire pit ready to enjoy. This was the perfect place for us to spend our first two nights in Maine - loons singing - hummingbirds dancing and perfect peace and quiet.

Lovely cabin with nice touches. Clean and comfortable with little surprises everywhere. Located on a quiet road with a beautiful view of Dexter Pond. Upon arrival I was greeted with a loon call, and it was awesome! Kayaks were provided and I ventured off on the pond and it was amazing! Highly recommend this place.

Cozy, private, comfortable, picturesque cabin with everything we needed. Great kitchen with coffee. Comfy porch and outdoor seating. We appreciated use of kayaks and canoe and the ability to paddle from one pond to another. Thank you for sharing this lovely place.

The cabin was so clean and welcoming. Our hosts were friendly and helpful. The views of the pond were wonderful. We were looking for a peaceful get away and it was just that! Will go back next year.

After reading VBRP property descriptions for all the rentals in the area, we thought this would be best for our family stay and we were right! Property is as pictured, and we enjoyed our morning coffee outside observing loons and other wildlife. The children thought the loft was the coolest sleeping room ever. The hosts were very friendly and responsive. When driving to the property, use the directions provided by the hosts. There is another way in, but that road is really, really bumpy and in not as good a condition. However, the children thought the bumpy road was fun and exciting.

Cute little cabin overlooking a beautiful view of the lake. The owners were extremely kind and easy to work with. Overall amazing experience and would stay again in a heartbeat.
