Incredible Maine experience!
Upon arrival was ecstatic with the way the property looked from the outside! It only got better as we entered the home. Clean, up to date, roomy and comfortable! We took a walk over to the pond and the only statement made was "WOW!". We had a great time using the all of the water toys and even took a dip in the pond. Spent plenty of time just relaxing there and enjoying the serenity. This home is incredible! I look forward to telling others about it! Our host was also exceptionally graceful as he contacted us to let us know where everything was and that we could check in early if we arrived ahead of schedule. Oh, and I cant forget about the super cool and handy outside bath! I want to say thanks for an incredible stay and opportunity to provide my Son and his 2 friends an incredible experience and memories they will cherish!

A true gem.
This is a lovely, clean and comfortable property. Everything we could possibly need- from can opener to canoe was provided. The private dock was the perfect spot to see baby loons paddle by. The “pond” was bigger than we expected and so quiet. The hosts deserve a huge “well done” for what they have created. We can’t wait to return!

POOR Description
I went to the site and it was not as described. The house was very close to a busy road, the lake was across the street, and the house had a cigarette smell. I called the people who owned it and they said there was no smoking in the house. I went to a hotel in Augusta.

So beautiful!
This cottage was so immaculate and beautifully decorated. The owner thought of everything a guest may need and supplies were plentiful. It looks brand new and is cozy and comfortable. We loved staying here as it was close to Augusta and Gardiner. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and really went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. I highly recommend this property!

Maine retreat near Augusta
This is a very new house across the road from the dock on the pond. It was very quiet with just a bit of traffic on the road in the morning and evening. Very well equipped and spotless. Everything was provided for Kayak/Canoe journeys on the pond.Also, it is only 10-15 minutes from downtown Augusta which made it very convenient for us. We enjoyed our stay and would book this house again.

Stay over graduation weekend
The home was lovely and cozy. The location was easy to find and entry, even late at night, in our case, was very straightforward. There were so many nice, welcoming touches that we appreciated and wished we could have spent more time there! If it was possible to give it a perfect rating, we would! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!
