Gem of a place to stay visiting our Bates student! House was roomy, very clean, and beds were comfy. Great communication with the hosts. Hope to stay again in warmer weather so we can take advantage of the outdoor spots- balcony on each floor, fire pit area, and lake access.

Quiet near the lake

The owners are on site and are very respectful and wonderful people. Quiet area with a very short walk to the lake. Great location with short drives to Freeport, Lewiston, and Brunswick. Would stay again!

Great retreat!

This was a great place to spend the weekend. Spent the day out on the ice and came in to a shower that was very hot and had great pressure. The place was very clean and the kitchen was well equipped. Would love to stay here again at some point.

Peaceful stay

We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful location while visiting our son at Bates. The house was as described with everything you could possibly need; very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed walking down to the dock with our coffee in the morning and relaxing around the fire pit with our wine in the evening. Communications with the host were great!

Great weekend by the 'pond'

We very much enjoyed Sailor's Rest. It was perfect for our three generation family. Paul and Kevin were great hosts, very accommodating and checked in with me by text throughout the stay to make sure all our needs were met. I would recommend Sailor's Rest to anyone looking for a nice getaway by a lake! Thank you Paul and Kevin!

Cozy cabin with lake views

Had a wonderful stay at Sailor's Rest. Were able to not only visit my daughter at Bates and watch the President's Cup, but we also visited a lighthouse and Kennebunkport. My goal was to have a lobster roll every day and I only missed 1 day. Weather wasn't the most cooperative but we were able to spend a fun 5 hours at Just-in-Time recreation with bowling and playing pool. A location we will definitely come back to over the next three years!

Great spot!

We really enjoyed this home which is close to Lewiston but in a secluded and peaceful place. The home is very clean, well stocked (although we did not cook), and private. Paul was very responsive and a great host! We would highly recommend booking here if available. Thank you Paul!

Beautiful Place to Stay

We came here with a large contingent, and even though the house has only two bedrooms, don't let that fool you. It is quite roomy, and we easily slept seven people in the house. The views from the upstairs bedroom windows and balcony are wonderful. The owners are in their own house on site, are there when you need them, but give you your privacy as well. Lovely place to stay. I would recommend it to others enthusiastically.

A quiet respite

We stayed a month in this lovely, quiet home where our hosts were very available by text but never interfered with our privacy. Our dog loved his 2-3 daily swims in the lake.The only real negative for us was we felt we couldn’t (& never did) swim ourselves or other thing to be alert to: the lake has lots of algae in it.

Awesome Stay and cool Host

I can't explain the ease and how helpful the host was. We were traveling from a long distance for this. The host was helpful with late check in. The house was well maintained and clean everywhere. You get everything you need. The wifi is also fast. I wish they did provide some body wash and some extra stuff. No complaints at all. It was a memorable stay

Absolutely recommend

The host was a great communicator and the house was exactly as described. The location is terrific in that it has easy lake access, off a dirt road away from any traffic, yet easy to get to local hiking trails and stores. The house had everything we could have asked for to either remain connected to the outside world (good wireless) or disconnect from the outside world (multiple decks without chairs on each). The host did a great job communicating and answering any questions. We would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay.

Sailors Rest weekend stay

House had plenty of room for four of us. Extra large bedroom space on second floor along with first floor bedroom. Very clean. Very quiet with dirt road off main road down to the house by the pond. Close enough to Portland, Freeport, and Lewiston to provide options for things tp do. Weather was on the rainy side during our weekend stay but still had an enjoyable relaxing weekend. Hosts Paul and Kevin made arrival and departue easy. Great communication.

Planning to return!

We had an unfortunate reason for our stay (loss of a family member), but we were very pleased with the large indoor space on this beautiful piece of land! The home comfortably slept 7 (5 adults, 2 children) and had everything we needed for our short stay. The serene outdoor area and dock provided a peaceful space by the water to clear our head after an emotional day, and catch some sun rays. One note of caution, if arriving after sunset, the road and driveway to the property are a bit difficult to locate in the dark. Even with that, we plan to return for a longer stay to enjoy the rest of the amenities and area.

Hidden Gem

Our family had to stay in the area because of estate issues of our late Mom. We chose this location because we just didn't want to be cooped up in a hotel. This place really rocked!!! We all felt so relaxed and we utilized the huge kitchen that was equipped with everything we needed to make our meals. The decks off the back of the living room and the master bedroom are wonderful. Experiencing the autumn leaf change in this home should be just stunning! Our host was very attentive to our needs and requests. We will be back!

Awesome house, awesome hosts

Great place to relax and be central to several locations. Please be aware that this is not meant for handicapped. Too high of a step into the house and Too steep and slippery to get down to the lake. Also, did not matter to us but not a lot of privacy due to the owners house only feet away, blocking most of the view of the lake. With that being said, the house had a view of the lake from one side of the deck which was awesome to sit at in the evenings. It was perfect for our relaxing get away. Very clean and stocked with supplies. Thankfully we did bring our own lobster pot because that was about the only thing they didnt have. The hosts are awesome, very friendly folks who are there if needed but kept their distance for guest privacy. While there we saw a fox and an eagle. Heard only one loon but no moose in the area. We give it 5 stars , great house and great hosts!!!!
