Overall we had a very nice stay. The owner was very responsive whenever we had questions and the cabin came with just about everything one would need to be self-sufficient (which was handy as we wanted to do a lot of cooking at the house). Some of the screens on the porch could use repair (including the doors) and the water pressure in the shower is low, but overall things were in good condition and we really loved using the swings on the porch to relax while avoiding bugs. Our kids swam a bit off of the wooden dock. The bottom was a little mucky but they wore water shoes and just pulled themselves back up onto the dock rather than walking back to shore. We brought our fishing boat and caught a lot of fish in both the river and the lake, so highly recommended to anyone who wants to do some fishing!

The Pros: 1.loons swam by often 2.Enjoyed paddle boat & kayaks 3.Kitchen well stocked, had spices & basic food 4.Beds were comfortable, linens included 5.Basket of kids toys & board games enjoyed by kids of varying ages Cons: 1.Screens on porch so filthy that previous renters had drawn fallic symbols in the dust (only visible at night, dusted ourselves) 2. Owner said place very quiet, but outside you will hear the main road traffic and lumber mill all day. Upset about that. (Can also hear train) 3. Owner asked about low ceiling for master, said no complaints from prior renters, so let me be the first. We hit our heads SO many times (5'7" so not THAT tall), and the half bath they took literally by making you bend in half to use it, it's a toilet in an attic closet, with the sink in the bedroom. You will also hit your head going downstairs. 4. Poor lighting at the dining room table, and in shower (needs different curtain to let light in) 5. Keurig was unusable- filthy 6. Ant traps everywhere were safety hazard for toddler who drank one first night 7. Deck steps dangerous, 3 adults fell using after rain (green from moss/algae?) 8. Soft spot on deck by door 9. Not toddler friendly- loft has big railing holes, large hole in screen door (toddler escaped thru multiple times), door latches at toddler height (moved up ourselves), no way to keep toddler inside once adult goes outside 10.Fire pit needs to be cleaned to use 11.Dishwasher fixed with bread tie?! 12.Not boater friendly

So easy to check in! So much space! I loved having my coffee in the morning on the dock. We stayed here during the Maine Ironman 70.3. It was nice and relaxing setting us up for a great race. Kitchen was well stocked!

Lovely location with well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds, some bedrooms are "walkthroughs." Upstairs requires crouching through low hallway to get to loft, and to use upstairs toilet in water closet. Bring your bug spray! The flies & mosquitos were swarming outside while we were there. It rained every day, but there was plenty to do inside. And we always enjoyed the lovely view of the Belgrade Stream!

It was a shirt trio for us to see family in the area for the holidays. The space was nice and met our needs with a well stocked kitchen. It is rustic, which we like, and as such has a few small quirks that are easy to adjust too. Communication was quick and appreciated.

The cabin is large and beautiful. with a well working wood stove to supplement the heat on a small river. Only things to note: there is only one bathroom (there is a toilet and sink in one of the upstairs bedrooms) and the kitchen is rather narrow and devoid of much counter space. These two things were minor issues because we were having a family holiday gathering, so cooking and getting clean were at times difficult. But, as long as one is prepared for those aspects of the property, it is excellent.

We had a nice stay for nearly a week at this quiet house. The weather was cool and rainy so we didn't get to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities this place offered. The woodstove was wonderful, though! It was a quick 20 minute drive to a large grocery store and we went to dinner in Augusta and Waterville. There are lots of great hikes nearby, some just a 10 minute drive. I saw a bald eagle on a lovely paddle using the kayaks Christine had made available to us. The check in was SUPER easy!

Lovely place, we had everything we needed. We arrived at night and it is on a unpaved driveway, covered in leaves at this time of year, so that was tricky. The lot is really beautiful, beds were comfortable with good linens. Owner was very responsive which I really liked. Only problem was a very smoky smell in the cabin. Apparently the chimneys had been serviced which caused this, but our first night it was very intense. It subsided a bit during our stay.
