Our family really enjoyed vacationing at the cabin. It felt as though we were at a family camp, but of course we did the cooking (or at least went out for dinner!) There were many things to entertain us such as water sports gear and cozy areas such as a fire-it area. The sunset views were amazing and I loved watching the changes of the lake with the weather out the beautiful large windows. Dave was a hospitable person and check-in was smooth.

Was looking for a place our family could all come together and make memories, and this was just perfect! Fun and relaxing, and the pictures do not do it justice. Such a beautiful set up. Only wish we could have stayed longer! You don’t ever have to leave, but if you do Poor Peoples Pub is the perfect spot for local beer and lobster rolls :)

We stayed here for the weekend for a bachelor/bachelorette celebration and it was an awesome time! Dave was accommodating and attentive to our needs. This place really has everything. We loved it here so much we’re considering coming back every summer. Highly recommend staying here!

The property was gorgeous - the feel of an old New Hampshire Camp, that has been carefully maintained, upgraded but without losing its authenticity. The house was beautifully decorated and liveable . From the moment my family and friends walked in the door we felt that we were staying at someone's home that had been thoughtfully decorated and loved. The setting could not have been more perfect. We barely left the property except for daily walks or a longer hike or a beach visit. We stayed for two weeks and could have stayed so much longer. Dave and MB were so lovely and went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed. They care about their lakeside properties and the people who stay there. And I would be remiss not to mention their two loving, funny, and playful dogs who added their own special brand of charm. I have stayed at many places but I have to say this tops my list. Thank you, Dave, MB, and Biker, and Minnie dog for bringing so much joy. Thank you for the boat ride, the conversations, and your care. Looking forward to returning next year.

This is a wonderful summer spot right on the lake. Tons of kayaks and paddle boards. The house has a great charm about it. Highly recommend!!

Dave and MB take excellent care of their guests and the lodge. The house was spotless upon entry. All the décor in the house is beautiful, comfortable, and very thoughtfully put together – rustic elegance meets casual lakeside charm! There is plenty of room to spread out inside the house, the back deck gets lots of afternoon sun and fantastic sunsets for happy hour. Great East Lake is a clean, quiet, deep, lake that allows for everything from swimming to kayaking to wake boarding. The owners are well stocked on “toys” – plenty of kayaks, stand up paddle boards, basketballs/court games, SO many activities. The house is in a great location, there is a grocery store less than ten minutes away so you don’t have to bring EVERYTHING for the week, which was very helpful. A few things to consider depending on your travel preferences – First there is only one shower in the house. There are two bathrooms, one downstairs that has a stall shower, and one upstairs that has a tub with no shower head (and all bedrooms are upstairs). The tub is great if you’re into tubs, or have kids, and it’s perfectly positioned for sunset views out the bathroom window. But for a house that can sleep ten, one shower might not be enough for some parties. Second, the outside of the house is NOT safe for very small children (toddlers and crawlers). The only outdoor space that is private to the lodge is the back deck, which has no fencing or strong natural barrier and drops down a steep slope into the lake (and/or down many steps to the private dock). The basketball court for the property is right in front of the lodge which is good for running around, but this is communal space. Elsewhere, there isn’t much soft “green” space for outdoor play. Regarding the communal aspect of the amenities, you are very close to the other cabins, one of which is occupied by the owners (who were not imposing, but innately with this set up there is going to be an element of feeling “supervised," or extra effort made to be a good guest - a benefit if you're the owner, which I can understand). The fire pit is shared, as is the clubhouse, and easy swim-entry ramp. I wouldn’t say this is a problem, but should be considered depending on your own expectations and desire for privacy. Overall, this is a good house for families with kids school aged and up, in a great spot on Great East.

Our stay at the Great East Lodge could not have been better. The lodge is the perfect combination of throw-back character and modern amenities. The sunsets were great and the cool lake breeze had everyone well rested for another day of adventure on the lake and surrounding mountain hikes. The set up of the property was really neat, and with all the water toys the kids barely left the water. Dave and MB were fantastic hosts, very gracious and attentive to all the guests to ensure we had a great stay. We can't wait to come back.

We loved every minute of our stay at Great East Lodge. Sparkling clean, loads of character, and everything you could need is already there. Loads of room for our group of six, though we spent most of out time outside. The lakeside porch is amazing and the sunsets will stay with us forever. No shortage of water toys: kayaks, floating tubes, SUPs, noodles, swim dock! Dave and MB have created a very special retreat. They could not have been more friendly and helpful. Yet the lodge offers plenty of privacy as well. Really, the nicest lake vacation we have ever had. Thanks so much!

The place is beautiful and we had such a great time. Dave, his wife and all his guest in the properties around us was amazing. We went for a quick getaway and I believe we made friends for life. He was generous enough to take us on a boat ride and just the entire set-up was an unique experience. The water and sunset views were precious, the water toys abundant. My friends and family enjoyed it very much and we hope to be back next summer!!

Our extended family were warmly welcomed by Dave as soon as we arrived. We received a great overview of the property and its many amenities. The house is historic and decorated beautifully, yet not so particular that we felt uncomfortable with four kids in the house. Beds were comfy. Kids loved the bunk room. Best thing about the house (aside from the resident Golden Retrievers) is the beautiful lake and the amenities that come with the house, Never short of kayaks, paddle boards, noodles, floaties, you name it. The house has a lovely deck where one could easily pass hours reading a book and enjoying the sounds of the lapping lake waves. Not to mention the sunsets! The owners are consummate hosts, making everyone from the youngest (8) to the oldest (88) feel at ease, safe and happy. A wonderful getaway for an extended family.

We rented Dave’s property for my husband’s 60th birthday. We had 6 adults, a 2 1/2 yr old and an 8 month old. The space was perfect. Plenty of space to gather all together and also space if you wanted quiet time. Every room was beautifully decorated with attention to detail! The kitchen had all the things you needed to cook and serve. There are extra pots if needed. Everyone left feeling relaxed and that it was a “real” vacation! Dave has a boat shed with SUP and kayaks that can be used. If you’re looking for a fun and relaxing vacation where you can hear the loons calling to each other, this is the place. Dave, MB, Mini and Biker couldn’t have been more gracious host! We all loved it!!!

Our family really enjoyed the lake house. Extremely clean and the decorations were just amazing. There were activities for every age group but simply not enough time to do everything. We plan to stay longer next time.

We had a wonderful time at Great East Lodge. Everyone seemed to enjoy our vacation. We had a great time with all the water toys--kayaks and paddle boards. The lake is so crystal clear--it's just beautiful. And there is plenty of space for everyone--there were 8 of us. The whole week was better than I expected!

Our third year of staying on the lake and every year it is better. We enjoyed the company of the other guests on the property and our teenagers had a great time. Dave and MB are the consummate hosts always ensuring that all the guests have everything they need. We are looking forward to returning in the future!
