Rustic Retreat Across from Lake; Family Friendly!

Reviews

• 3/5

  Would have loved to have more time to stay at the property and enjoy the lake - it was beautiful! The house itself was fine - my friend described it as a giant shed. But there needs to be pillow protectors on the pillows - it sucks when you're a non-smoker, haven't brought your own pillows from home, put your head down late at night to finally go to sleep and get the stench of cigarette smoke. I don't believe anyone had been smoking inside but I do believe smokers had rented the property before us and the smell was imbedded in the hair and transferred to the pillow. Yuck!!!

  Manager's Response:

  The right vacation home is everything, and we're disappointed if this wasn't the one for you. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following:
  
  - Pillow protectors are placed on all pillows at the start of each season, though they may occasionally be removed with linens by previous guests.
  - This is the first time I’ve received a complaint about a smoke smell; my non-smoking children stayed in the unit the following weekend and did not notice any odor.
  - Moving forward, I’ll remind the cleaning team to double-check that pillow protectors are in place for every stay.
  - The home is intentionally described as rustic, and the listing photos are recent and accurately reflect the property’s style and design.
  
  Thank you for sharing your experience—we appreciate your feedback as we continue working to provide great stays for future visitors!

• Sisters get away trip to Maine

  4/5

  Overall all, it was fine. We enjoyed exploring the area and the location of the cottage was convenient. We did so much traveling that we didn't have time to sit outside, build a fire in the firepit in the evening, or sit on the dock. The price was reasonable.

• A very restful stay

  5/5

  We stayed at this cottage for five days in early July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is centrally located in the state. It's a quick ride to Camden, Rockland and a two hours to Bar Harbor. The cottage sits on a very pretty clean lake and boat/canoe rentals are available in a campground ten minutes away. The cottage is fully furnished. The kitchen has everything you need. When we had a problem with the stove, the owner very quickly got in touch with the property manager who fixed the problem while we were out. The cottage is spacious and can easily host up to six people. The living room is welcoming and it's nice to sit in after a day exploring the beauty of Maine. There is a small grocery nearby and a well stocked Hannaford market not to far away. Finally, the area is very quiet and peaceful.

• 2nd stay there and it’s still a nice place.

  5/5

  This was my 2nd trip there and it was just as great as it was last time. If it’s available on my next trip to Maine, I’d certainly rent it again.

• Would definitely stay here again

  5/5

  It's a spcious cabin with plenty of room to spread out, and a beautiful view of Sennebec Pond in Union ME. A half hour to Camden and Rockland, and just a beautiful area. Full kitchen set up, hot showers, a nice deck and fire pit for relaxing and enjoying the view of the pond. Everything was neat, clean and well organized, and stay instructions were simple and easy to follow. The only negative, and it's a realtively small one it the grans scheme, was that the windows were't clean when we looked out on the pond from inside. Not muddy or gross, just not clean. Overall we loved it, and have book marked it to visit again in the future!
