Nice Lake vacation

The place is nice with a great lot not far from lake. Found that with only a picnic table to use a little hard as we are all older and we like to do puzzles and play games. The bedrooms were very nice.

A cabin so nice I had to visit twice

I stayed here with friends back in August and came back weeks later in September for a reason! I hope Tim and Patty don't mind if this becomes my go-to home away from home ;)

Lakeside Disconnect

The property and house were clean and secluded. The owner gave great directions and suggestions on where to eat in the area. The lake was great and the kids loved it!. There's so much natural beauty around there. The AC was a huge bonus as it was hot when we visited.

Beautiful setting

Nice camp in a very private setting. Lake was quiet & beautiful. We did not spend a lot of time there since we were having a 3 day family reunion in a neighboring town but did some kayaking & enjoyed morning coffee on the front deck each day. Camp was very musty but aired after a day.

Leave the stress behind

There were no wifi or cellphone service which I didn’t mind because my kids were busy outside and actually enjoying nature. The property and the view of the lake was amazing. Will definitely bring the family out there again. Also can I say how friendly everyone was.

Drinking Water Problems

I found the property to be accurately depicted as listed in VRBO. However, VRBO did state that the water was from a well and was drinkable. I did not find that to be the case as the running water has a very strong Sulphur odor and taste to it. We needed to go out and purchase bottled water for drinking.

Off the Grid

Nice quiet location. Definitely no cell phone service. We saw a bear, fox, eagles, deer and an otter. If it’s cool and damp, expect mosquitoes. If sunny and warm, didn’t have mosquitoes.

AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL 🌟

The owner of the cabin is so incredibly kind and helpful there is no way that I could have a better person to rent a cabin for him for three days with my children we had such an unbelievable time! If you’re looking for some peace and quiet a beautiful cottage with an amazing view with a fun little island across the lake that you can get to the allotted conoes/boats with your children and the see the look on their faces of enjoyment then this is the place to go -very clean beautiful cottage will definitely stay again if available 😊

Awesome

It was great. It was clean and had everything you would possibly need for a stay. I would highly recommend staying here. Mr. Anderson gave great directions to cabin making it easy to find. The location is awesome if you are looking for that peace and quiet away from it all vacation. Me and my Wife could not ask for a better stay. My wife is not an outdoors type of person but she still loved it so that says a lot. Would love to do it again someday in the future.

Beautiful setting

The directions to the cabin from property manager were wonderful. The property is in need of some landscaping and major cleaning. It doesnt look like it is used very often, it was dirty, cobwebs everywhere and there is a mouse problem. The canoe has a hole in it as it was taking on water, the flat bottom boat didnt have a plug for us to be able to use it. I feel with a few upgrades with the yard work and a little better dock it would be great. Definitely no cell service which was fine as we knew that going into it, different furniture inside would be a plus also. Overall we enjoyed the few days there as we were visiting family so we weren't in the cabin all the time, but would definitely do some upgrades. Someone should really go up at least once a week an cut grass, open windows due to the very old musty smell and take pride in the diamond in the rough.

Just what we were looking for!

Peaceful, quiet, away from it all!! Serenity of a lake, gentle breezes of evergreens, dark Fall skies illuminated by the moon, stars and planets! Outdoor fire pit! No internet! We brought our own chairs for seating around the campfire. We also picked up extra firewood ( and graciously left all the leftovers) Lighting in the cabin was dim, so be prepared. Beds are comfortable. Small tv (if that matters to you) . One couch and one rocking chair. Definitely not a vacation with a family movie night, again...if that matters to you. We didn't choose Maine to watch movies!

Not clean

The house was not clean at all when we entered. The beds were not made and the toilet was not clean as well. We got to know from the caretaker that she was not informed of our stay and that’s why the ppace was not clean at all.

Beautiful Cabin inside and out

Loved the cabin, you can see the hard work Tim has put into it inside and out. The decorations were perfect, and the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. One of the best things for us was to unplug, which was much needed for our family. There are neighbors but we did not see or hear them, the water was great for fishing and swimming. The row boat was nice to get around in. You have to follow Tim's directions though, the GPS tried to get us to turn into the woods. We loved the bird houses and the Adirondack chairs to set back and relax on the porch. The fire pit was huge, more like a bon fire size, and we brought our our little smoky grill which was a good thing. I loved all of the communication we had with Tim, he was great even gave us ideas where to go fishing and offered to arrange for someone to take my husband on a guide trip(maybe next time). He also wrote to us about the bird nests on the way up and the little ice cream stand to stop by. We really appreciated it since we had not been in this part of Maine before. We enjoyed the loons on the lake and even saw a bald eagle fly over. Thanks again Tim for sharing your cabin with us. The Brooks family

Beautiful lot, but more info would've helped

The directions provided by the owner were very accurate and helpful. The lot was beautiful with a firepit and a very short walk to the dock, where clear water awaited. I did have some issues, though, which would've been mitigated with some additional information. There is running water but the smell of sulfur was overwhelming. It was not drinkable..bring lots of water. Showers are not really able to be taken as the smell makes your eyes water. Mice were an issue, BUT, it is a wood cabin. Keep all food secured and wash and store your dishes, as I was woken the first night by the ting ting of the mouse eating chicken alfredo from a rattling fork (while standing 2 inches from the "rodent control sound device"). That being said I moved a pillow in the couch and there was a large amount of mouse poop under there...indicating it wasnt cleaned or vacuumed. The code for the lock worked, but I the keys or the mechanism wouldnt allow the lock device to open to give me the keys. Luckily there was someone with tools down the road to assist. The lockbox for the keys wouldnt lock when I left. The canoe was unable to be used due to holes and the rowboat is too unwieldy and heavy for one person to get that out into the water, so one of the major reasons I booked the area, to fish using a canoe/boat, was unable to be realized. Overall, the place would've been better had the listing been a bit more forthcoming with the information presented BUT was a beatiful place.

Great get-away to complete relax and disconnect

Fairley modern Maine cabin situated on the lake front that was quiet and peaceful. Plenty of space for (2) adults...and accommodations for at least (5) more people. Cabin was clean with modern amenities in the kitchen and bathroom. Not too far from the center of Lincoln in case you forget anything, including groceries. No cell or WiFi connectivity, so prepare yourself to truly be disconnected! And the wood stove, although it was summer, was fantastic to take the slight chill and dampness out of the air during a 2-day storm that passed through (which made for a fun indoor cabin experience!). Cabin and the grounds were very clean, and we left it way on our departure. The box of (30) or so DVDs came in very handy, and the available row boat and canoe were a great bonus. The purpose of our trip was ATV'ing, and the trail riding is fantastic in that area, as the cabin is nearly on the approved and marked trail system. One last thing, make sure you FOLLOW THE OWNERS DRIVING DIRECTIONS and do not follow Google or iOs maps...unless you're truly looking for an off road adaventure ;)

Nice, remote camp in the woods

The camp had nice amenities (washer and dryer, dish washer, air conditioner!!). The bed was very comfortable. It was a little too remote for me, and perfect for my husband. Overall - nice stay. If you really want to disconnect from internet and devices - this is a good spot to do that. We really loved sitting on the porch and listening for loons and watching the lightening bugs.

Peaceful and Quiet

We were looking to get away and go as 'off grid' as possible. This place was just the ticket. No cell, no wifi just peace and quiet and nature's beauty. Still within driving distance to a couple of small stores though. We saw several types of ducks on the lake and we also saw eagles which was wonderful. The place was clean and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts were very responsive when contacted. We are hoping to be able to get away and stay here again. Highly recommend.

Fall Retreat

My husband and I rented the Anderson cottage for a bird hunting excursion and Fall getaway to Eastern Maine. It was just as advertised and was outfitted with most of what we needed. The washer/dryer were a pleasant surprise. The wood heat was plenty and the view of the lake was serene. Make sure to bring your kayaks. The location felt remote and very quiet this time of year yet it ‘s only ten miles from the main road. There were many assessable hunting areas nearby in the MPRL and North of Rt 6. Overall it met all of our expectations.

Quiet getaway

The remoteness of this property was perfect for a getaway from the hustle and bustle of city life. Perfect location for some peace and quiet. Will be returning next year. This is our second year at this location. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Quiet and remote

My sister and I enjoyed our stay at the cabin. It took a day or so to acclimate to the remoteness of the cabin, and the absence of wifi, cell service, etc. Please note that the owner is very clear that this is the case. It wasn't a surprise, but it still was an adjustment. To be honest, by day 2, we really appreciated not having the outside world intrude on the quiet of our holiday. We weren't lucky enough to see lots of wildlife, but we did see a gorgeous little fox a couple of times! All in all, a lovely getaway!
