Beautiful Secluded Retreat With Many Amenities

The house has many unique and beautiful features and is very comfortable. We enjoyed a small family Thanksgiving gathering for the second year in a row. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, cookware, etc. We enjoyed the hot tub on the cold nights. As mentioned in the house description, a steep stairway/ladder up to the loft bedroom and an open (and very beautiful) spiral staircase would present challenges to a family with young children or someone with limited mobility. Thank you to our hosts for sharing their lovely home.

The place was fantastic. Secluded yet accessible to civilization, clean rooms, well appointed, and a wonderful and responsive owner. Would go back tomorrow and wish that we could!

We were unable to stay at this location because when we arrived there was only 1 towel in the unit. We contacted the owner who could not get us any more towels so we immediately left to look for another place to stay.The owner was quick to respond and cancelled our reservation and refunded us what we paid

My college roommates and I try and do a getaway every year, in a different location. This year was Maine and we stayed here. The house is well stocked with bedding, pillows, kitchen needs and is geared for a small family or group of friends. There were 4 of us, and it worked fine for our needs. It’s was quite relaxing and made for a nice reunion spot. It’s a bit of a funky fun house- there are lots of steps and stairs (and even a VERY steep ladder to get to the crows’ nest bedroom!) The cabin has lots of charm and amenities… sauna, hot tub, whirlpool tub in the second bathroom. But if you’re not sleeping in either bedroom, there’s no curtains/window treatments so you’ve got the pitch black of the forest around you at night and the sun of the day streaming through the rest of the time. It’s just a short walk to the lake but you can only see it (not touch it or get close) because everything is private property on the lake right there. To get to a beach, you have to drive. We went to the beach at the state park (about a 20-25 minute drive?) which is a good choice for a day trip. There is a fee and it’s 8/non-resident person, 6/resident. There’s a great quality market (The Good Life Market) with delicious deli sandwiches and lots of good quality food, wine, etc. Bob’sseafood was great for lunch (best lobster rolls of the trip) and the drive to Portland and Freeport was only about an hour away, for a day of shopping. We’d stay at the cabin again (but bring sleep masks!)

The house pictured was well kept and clean the home we got had weeds growing up everywhere, including in walkways and stairs. Pictures of the outdoor sauna was shown clean and well kept. What we got was dirty spider ridden cobwebs everywhere. None of the three lights worked so was unusable to use. The chairs for the fire pit were to be in a shed, but were actually turned upside down around the fire pit again filthy could not be used less cleaned. The hot tub cover was filthy and moss covered but will say once the cover was removed the hot tub inside was spotless and we did use once. The device that was there to lift the cover off the hot tub was nonfunctional , and none of us wanted to fight through the dirt and mold to move the cover again which was very heavy. On the inside of the home, we were not told the second bedroom was up two flights of stairs and the one staircase you had to climb was almost straight up and was not very safe. Once we got up there, I opened the blinds and found the one outside window pain was all broken up and the pieces left sitting right there in the window. The tv’s did not work for 4 days then only every so often due to no signal. There were no lights besides lamps on second floor and one night my husband tripped over carpet and fell through a plate glass coffee table because he had to walk over carpet and around coffee table to get to lamp for lights. Half the lights did not work or had no bulbs or burnt out.Much more but have no more room.

My wife and I were looking for something unique for a weekend retreat for just the 2 of us. This place was perfect. We loved the upstairs lift where we could sit and read while looking out at the forest. The arch windows all over the place let us enjoy the woods even while we were inside. We got to enjoy the hot tub while it was raining and even a little thunder storm. And the bbq was perfect. Definitely worth the trip and would highly recommend if you were looking to have a private experience in the woods with tons of amenities.

Fantastic stay at this unique property! We love the wood-fired sauna and hot tub on the cold winter weekend. The living space is so cozy for quiet reading time or board games! Would love to return again!

My friends and I had the chance to start 2025 in this beautiful cabin. The cabin itself is cozy and full of character, and the surrounding nature makes for a wonderful stay. The hosts were extremely responsive and prompt with their replies.

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving here with our daughter, who lives in Portland. The house is very comfortable and features an outdoor hot tub and a wood-stove-heated sauna. Its unique design includes large, beautiful windows, and is situated on a lovely, wooded property.

Great area, close to outdoor activities but lots to do at the property itself. Great communication with the owner. High recommended!

Nice place to calm

The property was beautiful. Josh and Gayle were super responsive to our needs. Even through the storm and losing power, they answered the phone right away and credited us for the night we missed. We loved getting away for a few nights for our honeymoon. 100% recommend for a sweet getaway with any crowd!

This is a wonderful and peaceful house. The hot tub was fabulous to have and use each night
