Oct 12, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This home is an idyllic getaway on 400 private acres with welcoming hosts. We loved waking up each morning to views of the lake and surrounding lands. Beds were extremely comfortable and the house provided everything we needed for a fun and relaxing stay. We enjoyed taking the canoe and paddleboat on the lake, and only wish we had more time to explore. The property has trails for miles, and is the ideal location to "get away from it all" and enjoy some peace and quiet with family or friends. ##### Dave & Kathleen P.

This is our second time there. Its clean, has a well stocked kitchen and blissfully quiet on the pond. We range from 40-80 and the space is incredibly comfortable with good beds. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and easy to communicate with. Very few stairs making it comfortable for both my mother and aging dog. And I love, love, love the woodstove! ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/0d3bbd84-79fe-4ac9-b379-9aab72deda7f-1760702253573.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e0075e3e-743d-44b0-9878-3bd5dcb7495d-1760702253059.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/12f02969-c304-43d1-9b5a-39775a2be32c-1760702252963.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/3924b06d-c07c-4d03-9d86-140b7e2b5f1c-1760702255261.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Rachael H.

We even watched bald eagles and otters from the living room sofa! Roger and Elaine live nearby and were available, and had great suggestions for things to do in the area. They even checked in on us to make sure we were aware of the impending snow. Highly recommended! Even the dog loved it. :) ##### Martha W.

The accommodations have everything we needed to make dinners, hang out, swim and play all day on the water, and for 7 of us to sleep comfortably.

The dock, the firepit, the views of the wildlife of the pond, all of it, top shelf! Roger greeted us when we arrived, was there whenever we needed anything, and couldn't have been more gracious.

Dec 31, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot with awesome views Roger was great in answering any questions we had. He was attentive to our needs with my grandmother being wheelchair-bound. As the listing describes, AWD or 4x4 is required in the winter months. We had no issues with our Subaru making the trip in and out. The house is in a nice wooded spot which allowed for nature walks before the rain moved in.The kitchen has all the essentials and a few extras. We were able to cook all of our meals with relative ease. The bedrooms were nice and two allowed for the wheelchair entry providing a quiet moment or two. The only challenge we had for the wheelchair was the bathroom sink. My grandmother is a little shorter and reaching up to wash her hands was our only challenge. She was only there for a day and did not use the shower, just know the showers understandably have a 2-3 inch lip on the bottom and would not be role-in. All the wall bars were fantastic. We enjoyed the woodstove, as we have one at home, and it added to the holiday ambiance. Overall a great stay and we would highly recommend and hope to return. ##### Jennifer P.

Roger and Elaine have created an oasis of peace and serenity. Loon sightings every day on the lake as well as Orioles, Pilleated Woodpecker and Merganser, etc. The view from the living room is wonderful and we wish we could wake up here everyday!! Thank you for sharing your wonderful spot. We are planning our next visit. ##### Rachel B.

It is so beautiful with the huge picture window looking over the lake as well as the surrounding beauty of Mother Nature. Truly a very special place on this planet and a wonderful place to relax and let the world go by. We enjoyed the hiking trails, the full kitchen, the great outdoor fireplace, canoeing and dog friendly accommodations. Plus, met Roger and just a wonderful human being--if everyone could be like Roger, the world would indeed be a better place. Thank you for opening up this lovely cabin for us to enjoy! ##### Cynthia G.

This property is amazing and very private! We’ve rented several lake houses and this one is one of the best! Roger and Elaine have thought about everything to make your stay comfortable. A very well supplied kitchen for cooking/baking/grilling, comfortable beds, ceiling fans in every room, clean house, yard games and boats for the water. Walking trails right off the property were enjoyed by all, especially our dogs! The pond is a bit away from the lake but very accessible and provides peace and quiet except for an occasional fishing boat. Lots to explore with kayaks and canoes. A loon family entertained us all week. Roger was very responsive and helpful, thoroughly enjoys meeting his guests and even asked what they can do to improve the property!! It rained most of our week but we still had a wonderful time and do hope to return. Thank you Roger and Elaine for a fun and memorable family vacation with our adult(and four-legged) children! ##### beth k. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mary H. Jul 9, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Absolutely wonderful! What an amazing property, with amazing owners. I have stayed in one of Roger and Elaine’s other homes and knew they were awesome, but they have out done themselves in every way with this new property. They have thought of every detail from a renter’s perspective. If you need it look as it is there somewhere! And talk about a beautiful location (except deer flies!) we saw loons, herons, raccoons and an eagle swoop down for his lunch. We had 2 dogs and family from Indiana, NH and Maine with children 7 months, 17 months and 3 years and adults ranging from 22-69! It was perfect for all of us and more than enough space to be together or apart as needs called for…truly lovely. Great beds and well stocked. And as my 3 year old great nephew called it the "little" house was perfect to give space for naps, etc. And the weather was Maine at its best. Thank you so much for this much needed family get away! I have stayed in a a lot of rentals in area and this one truly stood out in every way! ##### Mary H.

My wife and I along with two boys, two dogs, an Auntie and Uncle, had a comfortable stay in the house. You couldn't ask for nicer or more accommodating hosts. Roger stopped by to check in a couple of times, and we enjoyed chatting with him about the area. He had great tips to check out locally. The house was well kept and cozy with a nice open kitchen/living area and great shower pressure. We had plenty of room when it rained too hard to be out on the water. The bedrooms were comfy and we slept well every night. The dock was great for fishing, jumping in for a swim, and taking out a kayak or canoe which were in great shape and there for our use. The kids loved swimming to the floating dock and doing dives and cannonballs. The pond itself is a gem, surrounded by wetland habitat, with plenty of birds and plants to spot. We rented a pontoon for the week, which we could take from the pond through a winding channel around a mile to the south end of Long Lake, and on from there into town for groceries. Make sure you have bug spray, as this is summertime in Maine, but with that taken care of, the area around the pond including a snowmobile trail network was a delight to explore with our dogs. Overall a wonderful week with many great memories. We're already looking forward to our next visit. ##### Jesse S.
