Tranquility

The place is amazing: incredible view of the lake and mountains from the house, steps to the lake to take a swim or a ride in kayaks, lots of space for dogs to run... Couldn't be more happy. We had a group of 8 - three generations of our family - and everybody was very happy with the settings and arrangements, and if you know young adults - that's a rarity. Very relaxing vacation!

I had such an amazing time at serendipity! The house was perfect the perfect location and size. The house was clean and super cozy. I think the only real feedback I have is the lock on the door it was very difficult to use and would beep and click randomly. Aside from the lock I had an amazing stay and would stay there again!

Peaceful Retreat

We had a great and restful time at Serendipity, and our 2 pups enjoyed it too! It was very peaceful and private with very few neighbors. From canoeing on peaceful Quincy Pond to nighttime fires and loon calls and bald eagle singings…we enjoyed it all! The kitchen was well stocked with all the necessary cookware and dishes as well as some basic cooking staples (oils, spices). The master bed was very comfortable, and my 6’2” tall husband appreciated the California king mattress length. We will surely be back!

A wonderful weekend!

Friends and family gathered here to watch the eclipse last week, and it couldn’t have been more lovely. The home is clean and comfortable, the rooms just as described, and the setting is beautiful! There are a few cabins nearby, but we didn’t see anyone even for this popular weekend. It was quiet and lovely and had plenty of room for people to be together in the living room and spread out outside, look at the stars over the pond and chat around the firepit. The kitchen was well stocked, there were board games available, and the property managers were responsive and helpful. We all loved it here!

Peaceful getaway

Our trip to Rangeley Maine was amazing. The house was in the perfect location to do and see many things without going far. Quimby pond was beautiful, peaceful, quiet, and fun with all sorts of ducks. The Loon calls were the best. The house was clean and well stocked with cooking needs. Everything worked well. A few minor things need repaired like some outlet coverings need tightened, light fixture in downstairs bath needs reset, door locks needs new batteries. We were unable to even open the basement door but this did not hinder our stay. Beds were reasonably comfortable. Would definitely return again.
