10/10
My family visited Maine the first week of August 2017 . There were 9 of us and three generations. From the first time I contacted the owner Don he was very accommodating making sure that all of our needs were met from the space in his home to suggesting different activities for all of us to enjoy. Upon arrival he greeted us with a tour of his home as well as wine and cheese. Throughout the week he would check in and make sure that we were content. Even afterward he made sure that all business was wrapped up professionally.
The house was perfect in comfort. My teenagers stayed on the ground level and had all the comforts of home: tv, bathroom, refrigerator and sleeping spaces. The other three bedrooms were great and if you are so lucky to have the bedroom facing the lake you will open your eyes all times of the night and early morning to get a view of the lake. One of the bedrooms slept a family of four comfortably. The kitchen is ready for cooking for your entire stay. We even used the grill and fire pit for dinner and dessert. Internet connection was not an issue. The best feature of the house is the lake itself. It was so pleasant sitting on the boat house deck enjoying coffee or a glass of wine. We kayaked and used wave runners and the kids swam. Perfect.
The location of the house is one of the reasons why we chose to stay at Don's house. It is a quick drive into Portland for a city vibe with great restaurants. Also the southern Maine beach towns are all within a 20-45 minute drive. Boston for a day is possible since you can be there in under two hours. Mt. Washington in New Hampshire is also a day trip. We had the pleasure of also visiting local breweries as well as the headquarters of LL Bean. So much fun!
If you are looking for a week on the lake with opportunity to visit the state of Maine, Don's house will be the star of the vacation!
