"We had an absolute blast at this lake house! The location was perfect for our family, with plenty of opportunities for boating, fishing, and swimming. The house itself was cozy and comfortable, with all the amenities we needed for a relaxing vacation. The views of the lake from the deck were stunning, and we spent hours just sitting there, watching the sunset. The kids loved all the outdoor activities, and my wife and I enjoyed some much-needed R&R. We can't wait to come back and experience it all again. Highly recommend!"

Very clean small place on the lake. Ken was great to deal with. Parking area isn’t paved or graveled so off road vehicle would be good for wetter days. Fun fire pit area and wood all prechopped. Great stay will do again!

Perfect spot for a getaway

The kids kept saying it was one of our best vacations ever. They loved jumping off the dock into the water and going out a little deeper on the paddle board. They ate smore after smore next to the campfire at night. The interior of the house was clearly recently updated and looks fantastic. This place is great for families, couples, or a friends trip.

Lovely little cottage on the water

We loved our long weekend here, used the stand up paddle board (it’s not on the listing but they have a standup paddle board, a canoe, and cornhole available for use!), fished off the dock, and went canoeing around the lake. The views are simply beautiful. Great place for a family, we were four adult adults so the bunkbeds were not quite our style, but the pullout sofa worked and was pretty comfortable. If we ever make it back to this part of the country we would definitely rent it again! Make sure to bring your own drinking water because the water for the house is from the lake.

Great Home Base for Our Annual Fishing Trip

This was a great spot for our group of 4 guys to enjoy our annual fishing trip. China Lake is one of our favorite bass fishing lakes in Maine and this cottage served as an ideal location from which to operate from. Ken was a gracious host and we had no issues with the property or communicating before our arrival. The brand-new dock with boat bumpers was the cherry on top.

Peaceful & Relaxing

My daughter, sister and I had a wonderful time! I really enjoyed listening to the loons throughout the day & night. I just loved sitting out on the dock having my morning coffees. I also really enjoyed the lanai area for looking out over the water. I had plans to get out more while up, but was quite content with just staying in and enjoying this lovely camp.
