The lake house has the rustic feel of a Maine cabin with modern conveniences. The interior is more roomy than it appears in the photos. Being about 25 years old, the structure is relatively new. There are some maintenance issues, such as soft decking on the entry deck and side deck and the stone steps from the parking lot should be replaced for safety when carrying luggage in and out of the house. Overall, these issues did not detract from having a great vacation at Long Lake.
We had a great stay in Bridgton. The area has a lot to offer; we could have stayed another week. Steve was very attentive regarding any issues with the home and we appreciated his efforts. Regarding the property, this is a great family vacation for children 7+ and adults without mobility concerns. The land is woodsy and the steps are made of natural rock. We originally had considered bringing the grandparents but it didn't work out and we ended up thankful for that because their mobility would have been a challenge. Regarding children, the dock and swim dock are sturdy and modern but they drop right off into 6+ feet of water. There is no beach area to wade in. Our girls are solid swimmers so they jumped right off and had a blast. If this trip had been during their toddler years, we would have been on high alert watching them.
Great Weather; Great Week. Property was great. Plenty of rooms for a family vacation on the lake. House was great with nice big porch. Water front with a new dock and swim float was used everyday. Good location relative to Harrison and Bridgton downtowns.Looking forward to returning.
This is a great house on a beautiful lake in Maine. A very well-equipped kitchen offers everything guests need, including a fully-stocked spice cabinet. The tap water is drinkable and tastes good. The large dining table doubles as space for games and cards. There is ample sleeping space for our family of 8. Our grandsons cooked s’mores over the outdoor fireplace on the deck. There are some wooden structures in need of repair which others have mentioned. We appreciate the long, sturdy dock with built in benches. The swim float wasn’t available for use. There is a canoe with paddles and some life vests. The important things for us: being together as a family in Maine, kids in the lake every day, hearing the loons at night.
The location was great! We loved this end of Long Lakes.It wasn't overpopulated w/boats.We rented a pontoon boat &loved the being able to pull right up to the dock.We were bummed the swim float wasnt there but we're told its being replaced.The kitchen is extremely well stocked for any type of cook! There is every kind of game you can imagine to play on a rainy day.The bathroom was in the middle of a remodel & lacked a mirror but will fabulous once completed. Some minor maintenance & updates that would make this house an even better place to rent.. The slider doors should be replaced. They are old & kept coming off the runners making them difficult to close and bugs would get in the house because they would not close tightly. Upstairs should have an ac unit in the bedroom it gets extremely hot up there even with 4 fans going! The inside window sills should be cleaned. They were pretty disgusting & loaded with dead bugs. The cusions on the outdoor couch should be thrown away and replaced. The firepit area is overgrown and has poison ivy. This is a great area if the landscaping was kept up regularly. Steve was very responsive & even drove up from Boston to take care of the trash from the prior renters that the trash company never came to take. Again, these were minor issues to my family. We are hoping to rent again from Steve if we don't find a place of our own to buy. It was one of our best vacations and confirmed our expectations that the Lake life is the best life!
Very nice location on a beautiful lake. The set up of the house was nice for a group. The grounds could be great. My only complaint is that the grass hadn’t been mowed for quite a while. It was up to our knees. I reached out to the owner and he said someone would be coming. No one ever came. It was unfortunate because we brought yard games that we couldn’t use. Also, there is not a swim platform, but that was ok because the dock was large and very nice. If the grounds were kept up it would be great
Lovely house on beautiful Long Lake. The house is roomy with all amenities that we needed. Enjoyed the scent of pines while we walked down to the nice new dock. We brought our own kayaks but also used the canoe. While you can hear the traffic from the street, it was quiet most of the time.
Steve was quick to respond with questions. The house and location were great for a lake vacation. The swim platform was being replaced when we visited and Steve let us know this prior to our stay.
We had an amazing week at this property on Long Lake. The house had everything we needed and the dock and setting was perfect. We spent lazy afternoons on the dock, swimming, floating and kayaking. Our daughters and friends are in their late teens/twenties and they loved exploring the towns nearby. At night we played games on the big family room table. We would definitely rent this property again.
We had a great time beautiful place.
