Jul 20, 2025 #### Another Great Week We have been coming to the Ark each summer for 10 or 12 years. The grandchildren-once toddlers-are off to college! It is the perfect spot, larger enough, close to the water, and yet quite private. The addition of a large gas grill has made cooking for our crowd even easier. We look forward to returning. ##### Lee G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lynn C.

Jul 10, 2016 #### Perfect for our family This was our fifth summer at the Ark.With many rooms, baths, and two complete kitchens, the Ark allows us to feed a crowd, join one or two others for a game or a puzzle, canoe, kayak, swim, read to the grandchildren in the "bunk room," or find a quiet spot to catch up on our own reading. We look forward to our week each year. ##### Lee G. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Meghan K. Jul 4, 2023 #### Wonderful getaway We had an amazing vacation here. The kids enjoyed the clear and calm water that they could walk out on safely as it stays fairly shallow for a while. We also had a great time catching many little fish from the dock and canoe. We hiked three trails all within 20mins of the house and had dinner and ice cream one night right on the Main Street. The stars were a highlight every night of our stay. Highly recommend! ##### Meghan K. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kelsey M. Jul 25, 2022 #### Great Family Vacation Spot We had a great week on Gull Pond at the Ark. There was plenty of room for 6 families. The grassy lawn, the many deck choices, and the sandy shallow beach was perfect for our little ones! We can't wait to head back next summer! Morton and Furbish has great communication as well. Highly recommend renting through them directly instead of going through a third party site. ##### Kelsey M.

This was our family's 7th summer of gathering at the Ark. It is perfect for our vacation: room for children, spouses, and grandchildren. The swimming area is great both for the teens and the toddlers. We love the loons and the sunsets, but most of all we enjoy "cousin time," good food, and a relaxing setting. We will be back. ##### Lee G. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tisha K. Jun 24, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Amazing Stay Our family would highly recommend “The Ark”. The space is massive and easily accommodates large parties. Two kitchens and two living rooms is unheard of - this rental offers that. The waterfront is also ideal with sandy bottom, weedless swimming and plenty of space. We enjoyed canoeing and fishing, lawn games and relaxation. If you’re planning a vacation for several people, this is the place to book! ##### Tisha K.

We came for a week of ATV'n with 9 people total. Other than a gas grill, which I saw in another's review, the house lacked NOTHING! We brought our own grill :) We will schedule our next trip around the availability of this unit. Both kitchen's were fully furnished and plenty of HOT water for the showers...and plenty of room for 9-15ppl to spread out. Ample parking for 3 trucks and trailers...Cant wait to go back!! ##### Andrew H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew H. Oct 4, 2021 #### Returning Vacationer This is our 2nd trip to the Ark...and where we will return to again! Spacious is an understatement. We had 4 couples and a single with PLENTY of room for more....House was clean, neat, and tidy. This trip the weather got cool enough to turn on the gas wood stove in the evening which really heated the house up quick. Enough parking for 4 trucks and trailers - tight, but manageable. No complaints! Look forward to returning again.... ##### Andrew H. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karen D. Oct 5, 2019 #### Excellent Vacation Home! My family and I stayed at the Ark 1 and 2 for about 10 days. There was plenty of room for all 6 of us to spread out. It was great to have two full kitchens, two sets of washers and dryers, and two full living rooms. We had additional family staying in another rental in Rangeley and when they came over, still plenty of room for evening dinners and sitting around chatting. The view from Gull Pond is wonderful.....it was a bit too cold to enjoy the porch and dock seating but we intend to return and get some use out of those and also getting out onto the water. Plenty of dishware and bowls, etc. to cook dinners - fully outfitted. The road in was great to get some exercise on in the mornings, everyone is very friendly. Just loved staying at the Ark and are planning on staying again. The owners really have decorated and made the Ark comfortable to stay in. The furniture in the living rooms are very comfortable! Just can't say enough about how great this accommodation is!! ##### Karen D.

Jun 28, 2024 #### A Good Stay with Some Disappointing Issues My family and friends stayed in the Ark (both sides) early summer 2024 and had a great time with some issues. The Good \*It's very close to the water \*The water is shallow and warm. Perfect for little and big ones. \*The bottom is mostly sand for quite a ways out from shore with a very gradual drop. \*Less than a 10 minute drive to all the amenities in town. \*The huge Great Room is an excellent gathering place. I dare say perfect. \*The Morton & Furbush folks were had excellent communication and follow-up. \*Beautiful pine board walls and accents through most of the place. \*WiFi works well and handles a good load \*The kitchens were well stocked with everything we needed. The only thing we wanted that they didn't have was a soft spatula. \*The provided kayaks were great. The Bad \*There are some maintenance issues. Such as a toilet that wouldn't flush as a piece was broken but replaced with a paperclip. \*There were two leaks during a rainstorm that came through the ceiling. One of which we were asked to catch in a bucket. We did, but it needed to be emptied throughout one night. That put quite a damper on my following day. But they asked and it seemed like the right thing to do. \*Some of the beds are exceptionally uncomfortable. The most notable example is the bed upstairs on the small side of the Ark. It's like sleeping in a bowl. \*Goose poop. There is goose excrement everywhere between the building and the water. All over the lawn, the dock, the deck, etc. definitely not hygienic to go barefoot anywhere here or let little ones play without VERY close supervision. \*There is no air conditioning. If high heat and humidity are a concern, you may want to consider staying elsewhere. We enjoyed our stay and may return with appropriate preparations first, such as brining our own air mattresses. Despite some concerns, the excellent communication from Morton & Furbush is definitely noteworthy. ##### SCOTT S.

Jul 20, 2022 #### Family Camp Week Our three generational family have returned to The Ark each July for 10+ years.

Sep 20, 2021 #### The Ark Our family absolutely loves the ARK - we stay in both sides as we have a large family. It fits us all with room to spare. We used the canoe and paddled around Gull Pond. The loons are fun to see and we saw deer near the house. The large dining room table fits us all for family dinners and is the best part of the day for my Dad. Down town Rangeley has great restaurants - especially Furbish - nice to sit outside! We rented ATV's and spent the day having a lot of fun. The Alpine shop and other shops have some great stuff. Overall a great vacation and a great place to stay. ##### Karen D. ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Comfort Inn Lundys Lane](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Lundys-Lane.h40650.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Richmond Night Market](https://www.expedia.ca/Richmond-Night-Market-Hotels.0-l6265555-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sugarloaf Mountain Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Kingfield-Hotels-Sugarloaf-Mountain-Hotel.h604151.Hotel-Information) > > [Kouch Chalets](https://www.expedia.ca/Saint-Louis-De-Kent-Hotels-Kouchibouguac-Resort.h9759867.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Toronto](https://www.expedia.ca/Toronto-Hotels.d178314.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hilton Club The Central at 5th New York](https://www.expedia.ca/New-York-Hotels-The-Central-At-5th-By-Hilton-Club.h67386516.Hotel-Information) > > [Red Deer Resort & Casino](https://www.expedia.ca/Red-Deer-Hotels-Cambridge-Red-Deer-Hotel-Conference.h36290665.Hotel-Information) > > [BestWestern Hotels in Sudbury](https://www.expedia.ca/Sudbury-Hotels-Best-Western.0-0-d6127346--bBestWestern.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Courtyard Buffalo Airport](https://www.expedia.ca/Buffalo-Hotels-Courtyard-Buffalo-Airport.h4395444.Hotel-Information) > > [Orchid Inn and Ginger Restaurant](https://www.expedia.ca/Niagara-Falls-Hotels-Orchid-Inn-And-Ginger-Restaurant.h11259572.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Aura del Mar](https://www.expedia.ca/Zihuatanejo-Hotels-Hotel-Aura-Del-Mar.h1152128.Hotel-Information) > > [Cheap Hotels in Montreal](https://www.expedia.ca/Montreal-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d178288-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Sleeping Giant Rainforest Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Belmopan-Hotels-Sleeping-Giant-Rainforest-Lodge.h5972402.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels in Manitoulin Island](https://www.expedia.ca/Manitoulin-Island-Hotels.d6339922.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Hotels near Orlando International Premium Outlets](https://www.expedia.ca/Orlando-International-Premium-Outlets-Hotels.0-l6154309-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) ### Flights > [Flights from Cavan-Monaghan (YPQ) to Charlottetown (YYG)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ypq/yyg/peterborough-to-charlottetown) > > [Flights from Detroit (DTW) to Montego Bay (MBJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/dtw/mbj/detroit-to-montego-bay) > > [Flights from Lagos (LOS) to St. John's (YYT)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/los/yyt/lagos-to-st-johns) > > [Flights from Buffalo (BUF) to Fort Lauderdale (FLL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/buf/fll/buffalo-to-fort-lauderdale) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Kelowna (YLW)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/ylw/calgary-to-kelowna) > > [Flights from Toronto (YYZ) to Vancouver (YVR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/yvr/toronto-to-vancouver) ### Packages > [Kayangan Lake](https://www.expedia.ca/Kayangan-Lake-Coron.d553248621532743847.Vacation-Attraction) > > [Belair Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/Belair.d3000387255.Destination-Travel-Guides) > > [St. Pete Beach Vacations](https://www.expedia.ca/St-Pete-Beach.d9802.Destination-Travel-Guides) ### General > [Visit Grand Forks](https://www.expedia.ca/Grand-Forks.dx1312)
