Maine Cabin on the Water

The cabin was absolutely beautiful! It was very relaxing! The owner was very easy to get in contact with. I wish I didn’t have to leave this place! My family said we would live here in a heartbeat. This was about 20 mins to Colby campus which is the reason why we were there.

Great place to stay! We had the best time and Chris was extremely helpful. My highest recommendation!

Camp was in a great location, warm, rustic, perfect for a Maine getaway

It was great as always

My family and I had a lovely time at the cabin. Very pet friendly. Very close to shopping area too.

Great wifi, loved the size of the lot and the on demand hot water. Cabin was EXTREMELY DIRTY and the owner fix was scented garbage bags and toxic air fresheners. Property in disrepair, we bought and installed a pin to secure the ramp hinge on the aluminum dock, the wooden dock needs significant repair. No easy access to water for dogs or older folks. Trash and dog poop on the grounds which we cleaned. Above all, the washing machine was caked with mold and mildew to the extent that the bedroom where it is located, stunk of mold and mildew. Too big of a job for us to clean. Sad that we packed thinking we could use the beautiful washer in the pics. Suggest YouTube video how to clean front load washer and signs for guests to leave the washer door open, even if it means permanently closing the entrance to the bathroom from that bedroom. Also suggest hiring a professional cleaning company and bring property up to minimum code, as most rooms had no smoke detectors.

The Maine Cabin on the Water is certainly a very interesting property with great potential but I do not think we will be back. We had requested an early check in which was accommodated and appreciated...but arrival details were never relayed. I was eventually able to track down the host and get information after waiting outside for a while.We found the house's layout to be really cool and would be fun for a large group. That said, it was not very well maintained with gaps in the screened in porch, a living room chair so damaged it was basically unusable and a noticeable lack of cleaning. We were also frequently battlling against an ant infestation. It was great to be on the water and one of the two docks became available on our second day after someone stopped by to roll it out to the water. Not an issue at all as it was still early in the summer season. That said, the grounds around the firepit and swing set were overgrown so we weren't able to enjoy them. We did very much enjoy floating in the river off of the dock and taking some kayak rides. Fortunately it was not too hot for July as the only AC unit we saw was in one of the upstairs bedrooms.

Grew up in the area and my kids all live here now- we live 3 hours so I was able to “host” and the kids didn’t have to travel far. My youngest grandson was 3 weeks old so this worked out great- they stopped by for a few hours each day. The other grandsons could go to basketball and hockey. Great set up for our needs!

Met friends from Georgia at this cozy cabin and had a great week fishing and hanging around the fire pit telling stories and reminiscing about the past. Up stairs bathroom a little small but that was the only negative we could find. Definitely thinking of going back!!

Overall we had a very nice stay. The owner was very responsive whenever we had questions and the cabin came with just about everything one would need to be self-sufficient (which was handy as we wanted to do a lot of cooking at the house). Some of the screens on the porch could use repair (including the doors) and the water pressure in the shower is low, but overall things were in good condition and we really loved using the swings on the porch to relax while avoiding bugs. Our kids swam a bit off of the wooden dock. The bottom was a little mucky but they wore water shoes and just pulled themselves back up onto the dock rather than walking back to shore. We brought our fishing boat and caught a lot of fish in both the river and the lake, so highly recommended to anyone who wants to do some fishing!
