Everything you need.
I toook a long girls weekend with family and friends, the camp was very clean and comfortable. Allison the host had provided just about anything you could think of that you would need, from snacks to frosted mugs in the freezer. I had planned on making spaghetti sauce but had forgotten my crockpot, luckily she had one there. The beds were quite comfortable, which is always a plus, everyone in the group had wonderful time, and all agreed that they would stay there again. Thankyou Allison for all the little extrs.

Perfect stay
This cottage stay was everything we'd hoped for and more. The pond and grounds are beautiful. Our two girls (3 and 7) enjoyed the stay as much as we did. The cottage itself is cozy, clean and well maintained. It provided our family of 4 with the perfect amount of space. Our host went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and provided us with information about the local area in advance. I wish we could have stayed for longer. I thoroughly recommend and hope we can return one day!

Perfect Family Getaway
This is a lovely property for those that want to get away, have a camp like experience but with all the comforts of a well kept and modern home.
The hosts were very welcoming, accommodating, and thoughtful about our families stay. The house is well maintained and feels modern and rustic all at the same time. The house is a great base camp for the lovely Green Pond. There was every water toy we needed, including a paddle boat that fit our whole family of five for a trip around the lake, but our favorites were the paddle boards. The lake is sandy and clean. In fact the water is so clear you can see the bottom from off the dock. Fishing was fun and there were some big bass, that showed interest even if we didn’t catch any.
This home has everything we needed, it felt clean, warm and inviting. The property offered numerous trails and surprises, like a sand fort in the woods for the kids to play. We truly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back!

Complete Gem!💎
This cabin was everything we wanted and more! Updated, cozy and spotless! The host has thought of everything, from cute cabin decor, extras you might have forgotten to pack, plus some local goodies for us to snack on. 85 degrees in mid July with no a/c, NO PROBLEM! This place is surrounded by tall pines to keep the house shaded plus multiple fans and many windows to open to cool the house. Easy access to the very clear, warm and quite pond across the road. My husband spent his days fishing. While my favorite afternoon spot was reading on the hammock. Very relaxing getaway! Thanks Allison and boys for sharing ur home with us!

Wonderful summer vacation for our family of four!
Allison's home and property are really a hidden gem! The house was PERFECT for our family of four -- and the property and waterfront nearby were amazing. We caught a mix of rain and sun, but that didnt stop us from enjoying all the property had to offer. On the cooler days, we took to the trails, both on the property or nearby river walk(s). When the sun came out, we headed down to the pond, enjoying the clean water and perfect beach area. The beach area is so sandy and clean - perfect for our young kids. We could tell Allison has put so much thought into making this a wonderful experience for renters. Our kids (almost 5 and almost 2) had so much fun - they didn't want to leave! We would easily recommend this spot for young families and anyone who enjoys proper Maine lake life. Thanks for sharing your home and allowing our family to make great memories there.
