About this cabin rental
Get away from the hustle and bustle at our little cabin in the woods! Our home is cozy but not claustrophobic with a cathedral ceiling in the main living space and a catwalk between the two upstairs bedrooms. The master bedroom (double bed) is on the first floor directly across from the main bathroom which offers support rails by the toilet and in the shower (no tub, though.) Linens and towels are provided. One upstairs bedroom has a half bath adjoining it and a twin size bed with pull-out trundle and a bookshelf full of children's books. The other bedroom has two twin beds, swinging saloon style doors, and a 3/4 wall separating it from the hubbub below. The basement is painted and stocked with toys and games as well as a washer and dryer. The cabin has wi-fi, but why not unplug and enjoy some of the many books from our collection found on bookshelves throughout the house? We do not have a TV, but shows can be streamed through your device or you may use our portable DVD player and DVD collection. The three season porch is all windows, surrounded by green with a glimpse of water at the bottom of the hill. Although our cabin is not on the water, the condo association has a dock about a 5-10 minute walk from the cabin which you are free to use for swimming or fishing. Nearly all of the rooms have ceiling fans, so throw open the windows and let the breeze flow through! We have a small air conditioner unit in the living room, but the cabin temp is usually comfortable with the fans. Parking available for two cars at the cabin (three if small); additional parking is a short walk away at the entrance to the condo property. The cabin is about two hours from Boston, slightly over an hour from the White Mountains (North Conway), and 45 minutes from the beach in Wells--you can enjoy everything from here! Please message me with any questions and note that the decor is a bit of a work in progress but I will try to keep pictures updated! Please note that this is a NON-SMOKING property. Smoking is not allowed anywhere on the Kettle Pond property, including outside, down at the docks, etc., as per the condo association rules. PLEASE NOTE: I do NOT have a security deposit on this property! In an effort to keep the out of pocket cost down for you, I instead have a damage protection policy which is a $99 fee (paid to VRBO, not me) for $5000 of protection. It is a purchase of an insurance policy, NOT a deposit that you will get back. There has been some confusion on this lately and I don't know if VRBO has changed their wording on the guest end or not, so I am just hoping to clarify! Thank you!

Very cool log cabin. Love the openness from bottom floor to upstairs. Had everything we needed! We really enjoyed swimming in Goose Pond, kayaking to Mousam Lake and walking around the area.
Jennie was a great hostess! Thanks for everything!

We very much enjoyed our stay in the cabin. Open concept. Lake was clean and refreshing. We were disappointed that the canoe was not available this time around as we flew here and we were looking forward to using it. Thankfully a relative brought us one. Overall, everything was great!

Several friends and I stayed here for a golf weekend and everything was great. The cabin was perfect for us. We would definitly stay here again.
5.0
Comfortable, clean, and charming! The owners provide just about everything you could need outside of food. The location is absolutely beautiful, the pictures don't do it justice, especially the dock. Not much in terms of close by amenities but that was a plus for me, driving through the wooded hills was fun and very relaxing and the distance keeps it quiet, nothing was too terribly far of a drive though so no complaints overall.

We needed a close stay location for our wedding for the men to also get ready. Cozy cabin in a quiet neighborhood!! Very relaxing for us to unwind after rehearsal and wedding! Would definitely stay here again!

There are not enough positive words to describe our stay. Beyond perfect. Above expectations. Fabulous Host. Beautiful cabin. It was spotless, well stocked, quiet. The beds were comfortable and had lots of bedding for the chilly nights. The shower was hot almost immediately and great water pressure. I could go on but won't bore you! Everything was exactly as described and more.
We cannot wait to be back.

This was our second stay at Jennie's beutiful and comfortable cabin! Thank you for making everything so easy. Our children loved jumping off the dock, swimming and riding bikes on the quiet roads.
5.0
Quiet area, rather isolated, but not far from Wells and Old Orchard Beaches in ME and Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, and other points of interest, such as a Shaker Village where the last 2 remaining Shakers live and work. Near Kennebunk, Ogonquit and other tourist areas.
5.0
We, four adults and two young children stayed here and had a wonderful time. The cottage was exactly as described in the listing. We enjoyed swimming in the lake, grilling outside and walking the forest trails. Jennie was quick to respond when I had a question and the children’s toys were a big plus.

Relaxing, peaceful, and restful!

Great place. They make it easy
Out stay was so relaxing. The property is beautiful, just as described. Clean and they have tried very hard to make it easy for you. Linens, towels, TP, even emergency toiletries. They have gone out of their way to make this homey and welcoming. You feel as if you are at a friends place rather than a rental. Great value!!! We had six people two adults and four older teens. Plenty of room for everyone. We would definitely rent again.

Perfect family getaway!!!
This was our second time renting this home. Unfortunately it rained the entire time. Despite that, we all still had a great time just staying inside. There were enough things to do to keep all four kids occupied for the entire time. We will definitely be back.

Lovely home to spend a week in!
This was a great place to stay as we visited family nearby who were renting right on Mousam Lake. The house was quiet and comfortable, and we liked the conveniences of having a full kitchen, separate bedrooms for everyone, 1.5 bathrooms, and laundry! Loved all of the books and decorative touches as well. Wished we spent more time down at the tranquil docks. All in all, a very nice rental.
5.0
Such a great getaway!
We came to the house with 3 adults and 3 kids (5, 4, & 1)! It could not have been better for the kids! They had amazing toys, books, and art supplies - and it kept them constantly busy! They loved the room upstairs with the twin beds and we loved hearing their laughter from downstairs!
The pond was beautiful - refreshing and the walk there was easy. Jennie was extremely responsive and thoughtful - she helped us find a booster seat for my 1 year old. We are already talking about when we can go back!

Beautiful family reunion!
Loved staying at Jennie's place. Very close to my extended family for the reunion but also a lovely retreat after the busy days. So close to the coast and wonderful lakes. Would definitely stay again!

Super cute!
We traveled from Ohio to Maine and I was so nervous about going so far from home and finding the perfect spot to stay and feel comfortable. This was it! Easy to find with the owner sending us clear instructions on how to get back to the cabin! A welcoming book that had everything listed and suggestions for places to shop and eat. The cabin was stocked with so many books and games for the family. We highly enjoyed our stay!

Peaceful, charming, clean cabin
Amazing location in quiet cabin neighborhood felt like the "real" Maine experience we were hoping for. Cabin itself is so adorable. It looks like a newer cabin and smells and looks sparkling clean. Decorations and layout created sense of coziness. We heard coyotes and owls at night through the open windows. The owner was so accommodating and wonderful to interact with throughout booking process. If we ever come back to Maine, we would definitely want to stay again.

Perfect Lake Cottage Retreat
This little house in the Maine woods was just waiting for me!
I have attended my father‘s family reunion in the Shapleigh area my entire life. Living in the South, I don’t own a cottage on the lakes, and sometimes had difficulty finding accommodations. This location allows such easy access to several lakes, as well as the shore, blueberry picking, and other outdoor activities.
The cottage layout is perfect and flexible. I was fascinated by the owners thoughtful personal touches, taste, and understated functional decor. The environment tells an amazing story and helped my mother and I create a story too!
This was a memorable visit for us just as I thought it would be.
I will return.

Beautiful Cabin Nestled Among the Trees
We were really looking for a quiet getaway and this really met our needs.
The cabin was absolutely wonderful. Opening the windows brought in the cool night air that remained all day inside the cabin. The water was just a short walk away and made for a very relaxing and fun day!
You can get to so many fun places after short drive. We knew a few things we wanted to do, but I was surprised by just how much was within a reasonable (to us) distance from the cabin.
The owners were extremely friendly and welcoming.

Great little cabin
We had a great stay. There were little trails to explore with our kids and some nice running nearby for me. House was clean & comfortable and extremely well stocked except for a bottle opener, which we had to improvise.
Nice access to water and close enough to explore both Portland & Kennybunk easily. Thank you- we had a really great stay!
