Perfect weekend spot!
This property is very charming and was the perfect quiet location for a weekend away. The place was clean and quiet and had beautiful views of the lake! Recommend for sure!

Spartan but adequate
My wife and I were looking for a spot to serve as "base camp" for day trips to the Maine coast. The cabin meet those needs. The amenities are a bit spartan, meaning you need to bring your own food. We were a bit concerned about how to stay warm until we noticed there was a new split A/C-Heating unit installed. There were no instructions but once we fired up the heat we were able to keep the main living area comfortable. The "master" bedroom had a portable electric radiator for heat. There was no heat in the second bedroom with twin beds. The double bed was not very comfortable as you tended to get "swallowed" by the soft mattress. The cabin is located off the coast and across the street from a very lovely small lake. Sunrises were pretty spectacular with a layer of fog floating above the water. Very nice.

Great place!
We enjoyed our stay, place very clean. It was a bit away from things to do but very relaxing. Fire pit was a bonus. We had starry nights and saw shooting stars. Lake is beautiful! Only suggestion I would make is to update bath towels and also put a full length mirror in one of the rooms. Overall great place to stay.

Very disappointed.
Given the relatively high cost (by the time you factor in extra owner fee, cleaning fee, etc.), we just expected something superior. Was far off into the boondocks with nothing around to explore, converted double wide trailer was unfinished, and cheaply furnished, with no drinkable water, and only source of heat a wood burning stove which we elected to forgo. We froze through the one night we stayed and left first thing the next morning. I asked for a refund for the next 2 nights but was denied. Still, I’m not sorry we lost money bc we found a hotel in Camden for the next couple nights and it was lovely (and less $!). To be fair, we should have looked more carefully at the listing. We had to scramble for a last minute substitution, and and assumed the price reflected quality. It did not in this case. Buyer beware.

Disappointed
Although the property was clean, our check in was delayed two hours because of housekeeping not finishing in time. The description of the property made it sound like a home, not a camp and that it was on the water, not across an access road with other camps in front of ours. The description did mention we were sharing a dock but the dock was only large enough for chairs so we were not able to use it due to the other camp constantly using it. The bed was only a full sized bed, the fridge didnt keep things cold, no heating system and a few nights were very chilly. Just an overall disappointing stay

Serene is an accurate description!
We LOVED our week at this lake house. While it is definitely more of a camp than a house (walls were painted osb, windows were difficult to open/close), it was super clean and didn't lack any interior amenities. My husband loved the super firm mattress! The lake was warm so we swam every day, often multiple times per day, and were fortunate that the rental across the street had a nice family who didn't mind sharing the dock. The neighbors who own the adjacent camps were very friendly, as well, and even offered to share some fish they'd caught! The lake was so nice! We brought our own kayaks to explore, and hiked many of the nearby preserves that were less than a 20 minute drive. I think the only things we missed during the entire week were a fire pit and a bigger charcoal grill. Future renters should be aware that steaks, potatoes, and corn on the cob for two people had to be grilled in two batches. Plan your meals accordingly!

Good for a short stay
It was great to spend a few days at the lake! From the listing, we did not realize that we were across the street from the lake and that we would be sharing space (lucky for us, we came during the week and fortunately did not have to share!). We also had to improvise to have outdoor furniture as nothing was set up.
