Bridgton, Maine
If you can name it you can do it here!! This house is located on beautiful Beaver Pond and overlooks Shawnee Ski Mountain just 2 miles away. The house is located on a private lane and has its own beach. There are 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms (2 full baths) and can easily fit up to 8 people. While here feel free to enjoy the canoe, kayak, grill, or fire pit or just sit back and enjoy the view from the 16 foot deck. If you wish to have a night out and wish not to drive you can walk up the lane to Pleasant Inn where there is a restaurant and bar with entertainment on weekends. North Conway is close by (20 minutes) where there are many restaurants and shops along with a host of family friendly activities. During October the Fry-burg Fair is only 10 minutes away. No matter what season you are in this home will accommodate you from swimming, to skiing from fires outside by the waterfront or on cold winter nights inside by the wood stove, to watching the Loons land on the water to ice fishing in the winter. If you can name it you can do it here.
We enjoyed spending time with friends. Spent a lot of time just sitting around the fire or sitting on the deck. The furniture and beds were all comfortable. Had most everything we needed. We did know to bring our own sheets but didn't remember we also needed to bring towels. So a quick trip to Renys fixed that. Overall, a lovely stay.
Lovely property accurately depicted in listing Owner very nice Will try to return !!!
We had an AMAZING 4th of July weekend at Henry and Tom's place. The weather wasn't the best, but we made the most of it playing foosball in the basement and playing tons of indoor games and activities. The sun that we did have , we spent the entire time on the pond floating in the middle of pond and enjoying the slight breeze! The sandy beach along the pond was perfect to relax and play yard games, have a fire, and we even caught some fish right from the beach. The rooms are all well appointed and the kitchen was larger than expecting which was perfect for our big group. Additionally, all of the rooms were larger than they appeared in photos, and everything was very clean and updated. Communication with the hosts was very easy and they were very quick to respond. They even told us we could check in any time we wanted on our day of check-in, which was really nice to be able to go early! The only thing we were missing was a dish washer, but that’s not something we expected anyways when staying directly on the pond! We also went to The Barking Chicken, Fluvial Brewing, and BreakRoom248 (arcade bar) and we had wonderful experiences at all of those places. We will 100% be back again!!
Stayed at this rental with my fiancé and 3 other couples (8 of us). Very spacious house and lovely living rooms with wood stove. One thing I didn’t know before booking is that no linens or towels are provided (no bath mat, bath towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, floor towels, sheets, pillow cases). To be honest had I known this before booking I would have kept looking. The place wasn’t as clean as I would have liked or expected as there was dog poop on the deck and some utensils were found dirty in the draw. The place has a lot of potential and sits in front of the lake with beautiful views but the furniture is very outdated. The leather couch is very warn, the TV in the main living room is technically smart but picture and connection is not super great and it’s a little hard to hear even with the volume turned up. The beds were comfortable enough but I did find a yellow stain on the mattress when we got there and stains on the carpet in the bottom room. There was a broom next to the wood stove that had duct tape on it holding it together which just made me question why it wouldn’t just get thrown out and a new broom put in it’s place. Same for toilet seats, not something expensive to spruce up the place instead of keeping old/ warn one in a rental. The taxidermy throughout the house didn’t bother me as I felt it just added to the Maine theme, but as others said something to keep in mind if it may bother you or your family. We only stayed for two nights and it got the job done but unless the furniture and bathrooms get updated we wouldn’t pick this place again. I will say, Henry the owner is very nice, very responsive and did acknowledge the items I brought up to him. The location of the property is also very convenient.
we would definitely stay again
The pond is peaceful and the view from the back deck is lovely. There is a beaver den near the lake house and every morning we would see the beavers swim by, along with loons, musk rat and lots of fish jumping.
Big and well set up for a couple families. Ours was a Winter stay, and the house worked great for that (looks amazing for Summer, too). Very close to Shawnee and to town. Pond was smooth so the skating was good. Great wood stoves. Everyone had a blast.
Our grandkids all 5 of them loved it, they were a little nervous eat first about the taxidermy animals on the walls but got over it! House was clean and close to the mountain
We were really enjoyed the stayed. The house had everything we needed. Checkin process was super easy and the house is super nice. Henry was very responsive and helpful. We will definitely stay here again in next summer trip. Thank you Henry!
The house is great! Perfect for our stay with family friends. The view of the pond is amazing and loved that there are canoes, kayaks, lifejackets, and some sand toys available. We also really enjoyed the fire pit. The small town of Bridgton is nearby and very cute with variety of shops and restaurants. Remember to pack towels for the kitchen as well as the bathroom. We didn't bring kitchen towels and it was a bit of a nusience.
