Weekend stay

The location on the lake was great and very peaceful! The space was perfect for what we needed. The downstairs bedrooms were a bit chilly so bring extra blankets if you get cold.

Wonderful stay at a house on Estes Lake

Spacious 3 bedroom house (2 queens, 1 double) on Estes Lake with fantastic views. We found the house very clean and comfortable. Wish we had our kayaks with us! Would definitely stay here again!

Picture perfect!

We had a lovely 3 night stay. The views are incredible. We enjoyed cooking in and sitting by the fire pit. So perfect we never left. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We rented a kayak for the weekend and made great use of the dock. The bonus was this property is dog friendly!

August Vacation

We had a great time at the property. Kids swam (despite the water weeds), nice fire pit, great views, and only 30 minutes to the beach for a beach day. There were plenty of towels and there were linens on the beds. Beautiful view and sunsets. Air conditioning was an added bonus!

Oh My, What a View!

We brought family, visiting from Oklahoma, to Maine for the Fall Colors and we were so thrilled with the view of the lake from the entire upper floor! The colors reflected off the water making for awesome pictures! The beds were only full size but were comfortable. It was perfect for the two couples with bedrooms on the upper and lower floors with two bathrooms as well. The location was perfect for taking day trips to the beach and hike the mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stand would recommend!!

Wonderful little get-away!

We rented the house to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday with a small family vacation and it was perfect! We were able to bring my mom's dog and the four of us had a wonderful and relaxing time. The house was great and is in a great location. The view is even better in person!! The only issue was that the heat was on 55 when we arrived so it took a few hours for the house to warm up - but it did no problem and the electric fireplace helped a bunch! I highly recommend staying here.

amazing view

Property manager was quick to respond when texting about the lack of cleanliness and broken faucet. Unfortunately, the house was just not very clean. Lots of stuff left over in cupboards, crumbs in the futons, dusty ceiling fans, smudged windows, stuff like that. The house itself was perfect for 5 people and the water views were absolutely stunning.

Lake House

What a great location for us to spend a few days! All of us enjoyed being on the water and admired the sunsets. We were in Maine for the annual New England Parkinson's Ride and needed a landing spot for us and our three boys (2 girlfriends and a dog too). The only downfall was there is only three bedrooms, so the single one got the futon with his dog for two of the nights. There was plenty of parking and easy access into the house. A row boat or a few kayaks/paddle boards would have been nice too. We were already trucking bikes up from Florida and had no room for our kayaks. We would certainly stay here again though.

Had a wonderful time

Had a great stay. The house was clean and rooms accurate as listed. Three bedrooms with Twin beds and pullout couch in living room. We brought kayaks and enjoyed cruising the entire lake, and many rivers. The deck was perfect for hanging out and enjoying the beautiful sunset. One issue we had was trash removal. There were five barrels outside that were all full when we arrived. I messaged VRBO, early in the week, and VACASA on Friday. We departed Saturday with trash overfilled. The lake was great for kayaking and swimming. One thing to know is the lake bottom is squishy. When swimming off the dock, if you stand up the ground is muddy. We would kayak and raft out a little further so we could swim without touching the ground. The house is lovely.

The view was fantastic- the pictures don’t lie. And the setting was so serene. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen adequately stocked. The futon cushions could be updated, but were still quite comfortable. We really enjoyed our stay.

Serene family vacation

The house was comfortable, clean and a good size for a family of 5. We loved the location, waking up everyday to have tea by the lake, we roasted marshmellows in the fire pit and we saw 2 loons and heard them calling, it was a peaceful experience! We are hoping to stay there again in the future!

Good place if you only care about the lake and not surroundings or amenities.I want to be careful with this review, as I am sure this cabin would be lovely for some. It is rustic. The lake is gorgeous and the deck is absolutely on the lake. There’s also a fire pit area right by the lake. The surrounding area is very rural. There is no cute town to shop or cute place to get ice cream. There are very real people living very real lives in the area. If you are a minority or gay you may not feel all that welcomed.

A nice cottage, not the best option for kids

This house was in a lovely location with a great view, dock and boat access. Overall the home was okay, there was dog hair all over the upholstery and the kitchen supplies was in poor condition and pretty sparse. May not be the best option if you have kids and plan to cook a lot of meals. The outdoor grill and fire pit were great and overall the check in process was easy.

An incredible stay at this beautiful lakefront house. The property was spotless, well-maintained, and is located both on a quiet street and on a peaceful cove on the lake. The spot is stunning - ducks and loons in the water right in front of the house. There is plenty of space for the whole family to spread out, relax and enjoy.Inside the house is super comfortable and functional - felt like we were visiting friends and not at a rental. It is clear that much care has been taken to make guests feel at home. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need (…and we cook!). Communication with the host was excellent throughout our stay, they are SUPER nice! Absolutely no complaints during our trip. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet, comfortable retreat by the lake. Will not hesitate to book again!
