We had a wonderful stay by the lake’s edge. Spectacular sunrises, falling leaves and sparkling blue waters made for a perfect stay.

Peaceful paradise

a peaceful, beautiful cabin with a gorgeous lake front setting. This is a very old cabin that has been updated/renovated but done so that the old fashioned feeling is still present. Would love the opportunity to stay here again!

Gorgeous lake views and great location

My family enjoyed the use of the kayaks and floats available. Cottage location made it easy to get back and forth to Portland. The air conditioning was a Godsend with the high temps/humidity Maine was experiencing. Kitchen was stocked with all the pots/pans to cook meals as well as the grill. Nice patio table to enjoy meals and relaxing.

Windham Lake House

Absolutely stunning property at the end of the road (zero traffic), great dock, stellar yard, cool firepit. Setup with all the "toys" kayaks, paddle boards, row boat. The beach is super shallow and great for little kids. We will 100% be back to this amazing lake house.

Lakeside in Maine

Older, fun-loving lakeside home. Plenty of access to Highland Lake using kayaks. Lake is nice and quiet. Lawn certainly needs mowing, no coffee filters available but otherwise, kitchen well stocked.

Sweet and Cozy

This is a cute cottage on a sweet little lake. Very clean with the exception of the stovetop. Pretty warm inside though there are many fans and a free standing AC on the porch which if you raise the windows in the living room will eventually cool things off. Our beds were quite comfortable. The view is lovely as is the sunrise. We did not use the boats, paddleboards or Kayaks but for someone outdoorsy staying longer this would be a plus. Tough dirt road and very dark at night. Can be difficult to find.

Great Lakefront Stay

The house offered great access to the lake with the dock and the ladder was helpful in getting in/out of our tubes. The house was as described and we enjoyed time on the lake, grilling on the deck, and convenient access to Portland. We couldn’t figure out where the paddles for the kayaks were but we brought our own tubes and used those instead. The lake was so quiet and peaceful. The house was clean and with the all of the windows open and fans on we were able to cool the house down to a comfortable temperature for sleeping. The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Definitely recommend this house!

Quaint and Cozy

The house was really great - plenty of room and a nice and serene. Older house with squeaky and uneven floors but the decor and some modern makeovers made it have great character! Communicating with property manager was very easy and we got prompt responses. The only thing worth mentioning that needs attention is the little bridge to go over to get to the driveway. Luckily we have a higher car but anyone with a regular sedan would have bottomed out and/or possibly got stuck. I’m sure it was weather related as to why it got so bad since we’re just coming off winter but that would have caused a big problem for someone else’s car and can’t imagine they’d be too happy. Aside from that, great little place.

So much charm!

Lovely lake house with a truly beautiful view! Lots of space for dining, and charming nooks with lake views on both floors. Kitchen is well-appointed, and a nicely curated collection of books, games, and puzzles available for rainy days and evenings. Beds are very comfortable, with lots of soft blankets available. Air conditioning is wonderful, and fans were also available. Bathrooms were clean with plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Plenty of kayaks, paddle boards, etc, and different sizes of life jackets available for the whole family to have fun on the lake. Fire pit, deck with grill, hammock and lovely yard to enjoy. There are 2 refrigerator/freezers in the home, which was very useful. (One note, this is a lake house filled with charm and quirks, and has quite a steep staircase to the second floor without a railing. There is a walk-in shower upstairs, and a lovely claw-footed tub in the downstairs bathroom, which, unfortunately, may make this a less ideal rental for elderly guests with mobility issues.) This rating would be a 5, except for a few housekeeping issues that we discussed with staff, and will hopefully be addressed in time for the next renter!

Disappointed

There was both good and bad with this property. I will start with the bad because first impressions and experiences mean everything. 1. When we pulled up to the home, we admired the lake near sunset. We quickly discovered the lawn between the house and lake was uncut, with grass 2+ feet tall. The chairs on the lawn were being swallowed by the grass. We then saw no path to the pier without walking through high grass. On day 3, I got a tick on my leg, dug in and it bled pulling it out. 2. I contacted Vacasa and got the runaround about the lawn and who could cut it. 3. After we settled in, I discovered 3 trash cans worth of trash scattered about in the back of the shed. It was disgusting. Thankfully Vacasa did remove the trash about 18 hrs into our stay. 4. It was clear by the middle of our stay that the lawn wasn't going to be cut. Vacasa gave me a whole $25.07 refund (less than 1% of our rental). We traveled a good 12 hrs to get here, so we tried to make the best of it. The home is very old, but there are parts we grew fond of. The back enclosed porch turned out to be very relaxing. We spent a good amount of time there and watching the changeable colors of the sky and lake. We even saw a bald eagle twice. The beds were very squeaky, so sleeping was difficult at times, but manageable. The kitchen mostly had what we needed. If the lawn was cut, the trash was not an issue, I would have given 4 stars. Im giving it 2 because we couldn't do what we planned
