My husband and I stayed over New Year’s and celebrated with my step-daughter, her husband and the two grandkids, ages 2 and 1. It was a perfect laid out space for us, plenty of room for our small group…the key being for us, the bedrooms/sleeping areas are well laid out…separate sleeping spaces so the grandkids could nap while the adults played pool, chatted in the kitchen and relaxed.The beds are super comfortable with luxurious linens. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cooking pots and pans, dishes and basic spices. It truly is the center of the home and such a great place to hang out with the family. If we didn’t own a seasonal camp in Rome on great Pond, we would definitely rent it in the summer!!!Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Maine Experience

This gorgeous home offered what was reminiscent of times as a youth spending summers in Maine. A very tastefully furnished home that has it all. We came together as multigenerational gathering for two weeks — ages 90 to 17. Everyone had a space to call their own whether on the screened-in porch reading, sitting on the dock with morning coffee or cocktails at sunset, the Rumpus room playing pool, working out in the fully equipped gym, office space for those unable to fully disconnect from their businesses, hours and hours of card games at the dining room table. The home was outfitted to keep everyone thoroughly engaged. The canoe, kayaks, paddle boards, smores at the fire pit at night, listening to the unmistakeable Maine sounds of loons (a mama and three baby loonets riding around on mama’s back) kept close by nightly, mourning doves cooing — all memories cherished. All the kitchen fixings for large gatherings you could ask for. Definite perks — very comfortable beds and numerous bathrooms, views from every bedroom. Waterville and Augusta within a half hour for stores if needed to stock up supplies. Christy’s at the nearby Irving gas station has everything if you don’t want to drive too far. Best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Manager carried out my bags the times I was there. I cannot express how much this stay far surpassed what I was hoping for. Thank you Matt and Carissa.

Colby Football Week

This home is beautiful and amazing! Located close to Colby. Even though it was late Sept/early October we so enjoyed the lake with the kayaks and paddle boards. We even swam! The kitchen, in particular, was so well equipped! The bedding was fabulous and there was plenty of room to work or relax.

Magical Lake Fun

Belgrade lake is crystal clear, clean and massive. The area is beautiful, remote, wooded and secluded. The house has a huge dock with paddle boards and kayaks and lifejackets and towels provided. The kids were in the water ALL DAY playing. The house was perfectly set up for our needs. There's a downstairs master for my parents. And an upstairs master for us, along with 2 other upstairs bedrooms. Then my sister's family took the apartment above the garage (with six bunk beds, a TV area, kitchen, office and two bathrooms). We didn't even use the bedroom in the basement, but the kids did love playing with the games down there, including the pool table, and all the adults enjoyed the personal gym. There's even table tennis in the garage.

Beautiful Vacation Property

This property was perfect for a one week family vacation in one of Maine's many lake regions. The house is beautiful and well equipped. The bunk suite above the garage would be perfect for older kids. The lake is large and clean. The location is only about an hour from the coast or Freeport to allow a few day excursions. Whenever I had a question, the property manager quickly responded. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

Wonderful Home, Great Location

A large group of family and friends stayed here for Colby Graduation. The home is beautiful. There is enough space for a large group to be together inside and out. The home is in an excellent location on the Great Pond, and is an easy drive to Colby College. I highly recommend booking early for graduation weekend, and hope we will get to stay again for a vacation week in the warmer summer months.

This home, lake (Great Pond) and area are absolutely beautiful! My extended family of 13 enjoyed our time on the lake and the spacious home allowed us to spread out and worked out so perfectly for us. The well stocked kitchen is commercial grade which allowed room for a few chefs (and helpers) at a time resulting in several amazing meals! The property owner was very attentive which was appreciated! We hope to return and I would highly recommend this property and homeowner!
