Get away and gathering

It was our fourth or fifth year renting the cabin. Great place to get away and have a one day family gathering. It was well furnished, the exterior cooking area was great once again. Probably be back next year.

Amazing!

I grew up on this pond and finding this rental was like a needle in a haystack. The place is beautiful and there is plenty of privacy. The swimming area was perfect for our two dogs and my 5 year old grandchild. We will definitely be coming back every year! We are so happy to finally find a place that we can consistently go to!

2024 adventure

Very private location. A great place to relax and unwind. The camp was well stocked with paper products, dishes, pots and pans and plenty of towels and linens. We saw a few spiders but, it's camp! There was spray for those! They even had stuff for a dog. Feeding bowls, a runner outside and a few toys. We loved it here!

Pond, Weather, Location

Loved the pond, weather was perfect for being in the water, location is private & quiet. The cottage needs a few things to be looked at. I left the owner a note. Otherwise we had a perfect 10 vacation on Brettuns Pond. We will be back.

Cozy rustic cabin

Cabin was well stocked with supplies and just about anything you could need. The cabin could definitely use some upgrades including a way of locking the premises, shower losing warm water consistently, and mice definitely being active. Yard had a lot of dog poop that wasn't cleaned up. Overall enjoyed our stay due to location and privacy of the beautiful lakefront property.

We read the listing and knew what to expect, rustic cabin. It’s an old days living cabin and was great! The lot is unmatched with any of of vacations yet! All the frontage and dock was perfect for our boat. If your thinking polished marble go to the Caribbean! This is Maine lake life to it s best! Thank you for the time at your cabin.

Emphasis on rustic.

Location was great. Furnishings were old, one recliner didn’t work. The entire place needs a deep cleaning, but it is advertised as rustic. It’s a great camping place and did offer all we needed for our stay. The fact that we were not able to lock the cabin when we were away was a little disconcerting. I would stay again but might plan on bargaining for a better cleaning. Was overall fair for the price.

Best Lakefront Cottage We Ever Rented

This was the very best lakefront cottage we ever rented. Everything was just as advertised. Privacy was spot on and the cottage was clean and very well stocked. The furniture and the bed were comfortable. We had great TV at night (smart TV with netflix & you-tube). Just around the corner is Boothby's Farm Stand with corn on the cob, tomatoes, cukes, homemade pies, Cabot wheel cheese, apples and soooo much more. The weather was perfect for swimming or just floating around in a watertube. We saw or heard the loons everyday. My husband enjoyed using the kayak and fishing. We cooked on the outside BBQ almost everyday. Overall I would rate this vacation as A+++++. We will definitely be back again.

Too Rustic

What a disappointment! I've stayed at other rentals in Maine on a lake and this one was so disappointing. Dead bugs and spiders greet you at the door and the door doesn't even lock. The wifi is terrible, nonexistent, buffers forever. Bathroom on the other side of the house, which is in very poor condition, so good luck if you have to use it at night. We were so unhappy with this "rustic" place that we left and stayed at Comfort Inn Hotel. What a rip off. Want a refund ASAP

Relaxing stay at a well-stocked cabin on a quiet wooded pond

We had a very enjoyable at this quiet cabin with great views of the quiet lake. A nice find. This place is well - stocked, with everything we needed, plus lots of extras, such as kayaks, firewood for a lakeside fire, kitchen items in abundance, etc. The owner was friendly and easy to deal with. I enjoyed paddling on the lake in the evening. You can swim off the dock, but the lake bottom is not sandy for wading. Everything in the kitchen worked well, and there was plenty of utensils of all kinds, etc for cooking. Our one complaint was that we could not get on the internet as hoped, and there was very spotty cell phone reception. We just went to the library about a mile away and sat outside to use the internet.The front sliding door was difficult to close - needs a little lubrication. Otherwise we had a great time enjoying the peace and quiet. I would definitely recommend this little gem to my friends (already have)

This was my third time staying at the camp.

I didn’t give the highest score because the propane tank was empty and no backup. The futon was broken very uncomfortable to sit on and couldn’t use it as a bed. For some reason, the lifevest were missing it made it difficult for people to use the canoe and kayak. It seems to me some of the towels were missing from the previous two years. The dock has soft spots on it. It took a week for the owner to respond to my message. I am waiting to get reimbursed for the propane but all in all I will probably be back next year. Hopefully these issues will be resolved. Richard E
