Beautiful Escape

Have been coming to the area for years, and wanted to introduce it to some family and friends. This was the perfect Home Base! Very comfortable place to come back to after a day of hiking, or to spend a lazy “rainy day” reading.

Wonderful get away.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Victor was very responsive when needed, which was only once, as everything was perfect. The view of the water, and sitting by the fire outside near the small running stream was fantastic. Highly recommended.

Great location for Ice Fishing!

It’s a very nice quiet location for a small group of people to stay. Very clean, organized and stocked with pretty much all the amenities one would need during a stay. The owner was very accommodating when our group needed to switch our rental date. Luckily, with the ice conditions this year, we were able to fish on the pond and we caught some fish. Overall a great place and stay!

Just an absolute dream, a little out of the way so even in March you need 4 wheel drive to really get to the property safely. Excellent instructions, a manual that made everything clear and easy to follow, beautiful amenities especially the fireplace, would love to come back.

Great place for ice fishing, if Mother Nature was a little more cooperative.

Very nice little cabin on Clearwater pond. The camp is stocked with all the basic amenities anyone would need. Sadly our group was unable to fish on Clearwater for the first few days of our stay due to thin ice conditions. The last day of our stay we were able to fish with an average of 5” from the shoreline to about 100’ out, always check the ice as you go! There are a few good nearby lakes to fish on as well with safe ice, Porter lake and Wesserrunsett lake. Overall, it’s a great location, and a nice place to stay for a small group.

Perfect family getaway

This lakeside home was the perfect choice for our Christmas family getaway. The large shower, radiant heat flooring, indoor and outdoor fireplaces were amazing. We loved the rustic vibe with updated amenities and you can't beat the floor-to-ceiling lake view! Thank you, Victor, for giving our Florida family the opportunity to experience a Maine Lakeside Winter in all its glory! Memories were made.

fantastic weekend

We could not have been happier with our stay! The house is gorgeous, well situated and well appointed. We spent a good amount of time indoors in front of the fire given it was a very rainy weekend. Depending on where you placed yourself, you either felt you were in a boat in the water or perched in a treehouse. Truly ideal! We look forward to visiting again.

Lakeside Bliss

Our vacation goal had been to “get away from it all,” and Clearwater House did not disappoint! We stayed for almost a week in October, when the foliage was post-peak, but still glorious. The house is in a wooded area at waterside, with expansive views of the lake from the deck, kitchen and living area. There are several rocking chairs and other places to lounge indoors, our favorite being a foldout futon in a corner nook with water-facing windows on two sides. Between walks in the woods and forays into nearby Farmington, we spent a great deal of time simply reading, relaxing and gazing out at the natural beauty. In the evenings, we experienced the true sounds of silence and the star-studded night sky. Victor was a very gracious host and his “house manual” a very helpful resource. We left fully recharged and would return in a heartbeat.

Relaxing Weekend!

My husband and I spent our 20th anniversary here! The house is great, beautiful location! Kayaked around the lake, read, listened to music, listened to the loons and the water lapping against the house. The host has a very thorough information manual about the house, activities, anything you may need to know to make for a smooth check in and stay! I would highly reccomend!
