We spent a week here and had a blast! The cabin itself was the quintessential lake house: quaint, mismatched but cozy furniture, immersed in nature, and the perfect homebase for all the area had to offer. There were kayak rentals, ice cream, swimming hole and nature walks in 10 mins. Pemaquid Beach, the Maine Botanical Gardens (our fave) and lighthouse 20 mins away. Boothbay a half hour. Restaurants everywhere.
We had everything we needed, and Mary was responsive when we needed to reach out. If you are looking for a fancy lake house, look elsewhere. If you miss going to your grandma’s lake house, and want to create that memory for your own kids, this is for you! There was a toy box full of odds and ends toys that our kids played with all week, and they had a big lawn to run around and, of course, a lake to swim in.
“A fun, nice and cozy cottage. I really liked fishing and swimming there, jumping in the lake and swimming and we never wanted to go home.”—6 yr old son
“Basically, I loved the whole thing.”—4 yr old so
