This is our fourth family vacation to this beautiful lake house. It is very family friendly and the ease of access to the lake is the best thing about the property. We always love fishing and kayaking and renting a boat for the day. Highly recommend this property to families looking for a peaceful lake vacation.

I think the pictures undersell the shore of the lake! Best lakefront we have ever had. You have to go pretty far out to get the water over your waist, which means you can’t jump off the dock. Loved that the dock didn’t move though. The house is really wonderful. Only a few were bothered by car noises from the busy street. Wish there was a little more couch space, but there was a nice big table for our big family. The piece of land is also gorgeous! Owner was speedy with all communication.

We just had the best long weekend at this home. We found everything to be exactly as you would expect for a home away from home. The host was responsive to our questions and the property is amazing! We really enjoyed the hot tub a sauna after a long day on the ice and there was even a surprise playroom in the basement for our toddler. The town is adorable with great food and shopping options. Village tie up bakery was a stand out for sure! We cannot wait to go back. 10/10

Fabulous family beach vacation

Wonderful location for family of 7 adults and 2 children with accessible beach and lake. The water is shallow enough for toddlers to play and pleasant for adults to swim and kayak. The house was clean and functional for a large group and the large dining room table was ideal for dinners and games. We would be happy to stay again.

Amazing stay

We just returned from a wonderful week at this beautiful lake house. The listing was incredibly accurate, and the private beachfront access was better than described. It was perfect for our family which had a lot of children and little fisherman who enjoyed fishing off the dock and the nearby river. The house was absolutely huge and provided a lot of opportunity to spread out, but also had a large enough dining room and screened in porch area to be together.

Covers all the bases

This large lake house comfortably accommodated our family. The outdoor space was a nice grassy lawn leading down to the private sandy beach. Great for toddlers who could go in the shallow water. Firepits each night were fun for all. This is our favorite place to stay for our annual lakeside family vacation.

Great stay at Harrison Maine lake house

We stayed at this cozy Harrison Maine lake house with our family members. There were 6 adults and 1 child. There were plenty of spacious bedrooms and beds. We really enjoyed sitting in the chairs on the sand and looking at the beautiful view of the lake. We also loved using the spacious hot tub. I highly recommend renting this home!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Crystal Lake. The home is very well maintained and on an absolutely gorgeous piece of property. The sandy beach is large and there is so much room to roam around and enjoy the outdoors. Our dog was in heaven. More practically, the beds were comfortable and many details were attended to. The owner was very responsive when we had questions and I would absolutely recommend this home to others.

We had an amazing stay at this Crystal Lake home! The private beach was by far our favorite feature. I’ve never experienced a lake with such a beautiful sandy beach and incredibly clear water. It was perfect for swimming, relaxing, and spending time together as a family.Our family of eight had plenty of room to spread out, both inside and outside. The house was spotless, well maintained, and very comfortable. One feature we especially appreciated was having two full-size refrigerators—it made a huge difference for a large family and meant we didn’t have to rely on coolers all week.The dock was another huge plus. We brought our boat with us and spent a lot of time out on the lake, so having easy access to the dock made our vacation even more enjoyable.We loved starting our mornings taking in the peaceful views of the lake and ending the day with beautiful sunsets. Crystal Lake is quiet, relaxing, and perfect for swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, or simply enjoying the water. The location was also convenient to nearby towns for groceries, restaurants, and anything else we needed.The host was wonderful—friendly, genuine, and always quick to respond to any questions we had.This is a fantastic property for families. We made so many wonderful memories here and would absolutely stay again. We highly recommend this property to anyone looking for a relaxing lake vacation!

So much fun on the lake

The property on Crystal Lake was phenomenal. The house accommodated all of us very comfortably. The grandkids all enjoyed the beach and the lake, and had great fun in the hot tub. We rented kayaks, and everyone took a turn on the water. One of my sons said it was the best of the vacation homes we've rented over the years, and he was absolutely right. Everyone has a great time!

Wonderful Family Trip

This property was all that you could ask for and Dina, the owner, was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We stayed at the house with a couple families with young children, who enjoyed the yard as well as the lake time, as well as the bedrooms and nooks and crannies that they found in the crawl spaces (a ten year old girls dream for a hiding spot!). The kitchen was full of what we needed to cook and the bedrooms and other living spaces were comfortable (wonderful mattresses!!). The shallowness of the lake is perfect for our young children and we hope to come back again!

What a great family vacation!

We had perfect sleeping and playing spaces for 6 adults and 3 kiddos. Plenty of parking, a beautiful beach, clear water— everything we could ask for. There was a big dining table for us all to eat together inside, and a picnic table outside. Big grassy area for lawn games (we brought). For those of those with littles— the water is shallow, so perfect for non-swimmers. Communication with the owner was top-notch. Thanks for the stay! Hope to return next year!

Welcome to the Secret Garden

Someone had a vibrant garden about fifty years ago, and you get to enjoy the nostalgia 😁 The grounds are lovely from the private beach (with shallow water, perfect for little ones), to the outdoor dining with beautiful trees and plants. The house couldn’t be more comfortable!! Okay, perhaps a live-in cook is the only thing missing!😂 So thankful our large family was able to enjoy this beautiful vacation home!
