Two waterfront cottages with sandy beach Reviews

WE HAD AN AMAZING STAY! MOST ENJOYABLE AND BEAUTIFUL PROPERTY

Everything was great, the only negative was that the kitchen of one of the cabins was absolutely infested with fruit flies.

This is a wonderful property— right on a clean swimming lake with its own beach, two little cottages each with their own screened in porches, plus kitchens and a big big lawn. We stayed there with several family members — 6 adults and our 1 and 3 year old grandkids. Perfect for us. The lake and sandy beach are great for kids because the water is so shallow, sandy and clean. It was great for adults too. The big lawn gave the kids lots of running room and they loved the bunk rooms. We loved sitting outside or on the dock or on the screened in porches with Edison lights talking or reading and listening to the loons. The fire pit was great— our littles enjoyed their first s’mores. Thank you, Shaina, for sharing this special place with us.

We enjoyed our stay with the great weather, water, and the ice cream shop at the end of the driveway. There was plenty of room to run around and plenty of space for the adults to relax. Thanks!

We had a great time. Property was beautiful. The lake was beautiful. And the communication was great. Only downfall was my kids got bit up by something in the water almost like a sealice. Pretty badly. Def suggest rinsing off after. Also it was quite warm some of the days and nights and you can't have the French doors open to let air in as the bugs are really intense. We shopped at hannifords and cooked most the time. We did have the tri Pond cook us lobster and we just picked it up and brought it back.. Very amazing. We visited Houston Brook Falls was so amazing. Also the Moxie Falls had a great swimming hole. We went on a day trip to Acadia National and took the Sand Pond route. We didn't take the shuttle we drove our own vehicle while there. Highly suggest Maines Botanical garden it was amazing. They have hidden huge trolls and a park for kids and even rental carts for those that can't get around as well. One regret was red eats famous for their lobster roll. We waited in line 3 hours and it was not worth it. Def would love to visit again. The stars are beautiful at night around the fire. My kids loved playing kids charades. Thanks for this accomadating property.

This was our second time here this year and it was just as beautiful as the first. The cottages, the firepits and the kayaks were absolutely perfect!

It was perfect for two families vacationing together. We each had our own cottage which was great. We made use of the kayaks and canoe on the beautiful lake and ended our days at the fire pit. Even when it rained we enjoyed the outdoors on the screened in porches. A great time was had by all with many memories made. Would definitely recommend this place.

This is a gem of a property! Our family of five (including kids ages 3-9) vacationed here with family friends (who also have young kids) and we had such a lovely experience! The two little cottages are well designed and laid out. There is plenty of space and they are well appointed with all essentials--we were wanting for nothing. The screened in porches were so lovely for enjoying quiet mornings and the beds were comfy (especially the queen). The property as a whole is so quiet and peaceful. The expansive lawn was absolutely wonderful for our kids to run, play sports, make up creative games, and just be kids enjoying leisurely summer days. The fire pit was wonderful for evening fires (plus stars were vibrant in the evenings!) and the double picnic table was perfect for group meals. The lake was beautiful and so peaceful in the background. It's a very short stroll down to the water which is equally beautiful and peaceful. The water, which seems to most often be clear, was murky when we were there thanks to some unfortunate timing of an algae bloom. It had cleared a good bit on our last morning there (and would have still been safe to swim in while we were there) but during our stay we chose to go to other lakes to swim to be extra cautious with young kids (who are prone to swallowing water as they swim/play). The surrounding lakes do have some public swimming spots which we enjoyed, but be advised that they are largely rocky bottom, not a true sandy shore entry despite being titled "beaches." Helpful to bring water shoes for kids! We also thoroughly enjoyed an afternoon spent at the Alfond Municipal pool in Waterville (about 25 minutes away). It's a bit pricey ($56 for our family of 5) but had great swimming options for kids of all ages and also a couple of super fun water slides. Other highlights of our trip included the French Mountain Trail hike (easy .8 mile loop, great for kids, beautiful views) and the local ice cream place essentially across the street from the property. This was such a delightfully summery vacation spot! It has all the necessary modern conveniences and comforts but feels off the grid which really provides an opportunity to unplug and recharge. Hosts were wonderful--kind, gracious, and communicative. We would highly recommend this little gem and hope to return!

Amazing spot tucked away. Plenty of space for two families. Local ice cream spot within walking distance. Will definitely come back 😊

Wow! This place was magnificent. The listing includes both cabins, making it perfect for two families to enjoy together. The cabins were cozy and beautifully decorated. The kitchens had everything needed for cooking meals and eating at the cabins. Just outside the door is a large, grassy yard. Our children ran and played all day. It was the perfect space for kids. The pond is down the hill, a very simple walk, but far enough that I could let my toddler run in the yard without fear of her getting in the water. The pond was fabulous! Shallow, so great for our young kids to play in. Canoe and kayaks available to enjoy. The sunsets were beautiful. Ice cream shop across the street from the end of the driveway. Everything about this property was incredible. If you are considering staying here, do it! You will love it.
