The house was beautiful and super clean. The lake was just lovely. A very magical place.

This property was the perfect place for our family to stay. It was right next to a beautiful and quiet lake, in the woods, far away from noise and crowds.
The house was roomy and had a welcoming feeling to it. The owners had put the air conditioning on for us and left good instructions on how to get in. It was super clean, and very well stocked in the kitchen for serving and preparing meals.
There was a large wooden deck overlooking the lake, as well as a fire pit area. We made use of the kayaks provided, which was a lot of fun.
There was a resort about a five minute drive away to get supplies, get to go food, and rent off road vehicles. Super fun activity for us and our teen!
The hosts provided quick and clear communication. They were really easy for checking out. They also made the place welcoming by not leaving instructions taped all over the place, which so many places do and is always demeaning. The only thing to be aware of is that our cell phones (AT&T provider) couldn't get a signal. The Wi-Fi worked, but isn't super high-speed (at least on our stuff).
We would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at this location for a long weekend that included the total solar eclipse. The location is beautiful and the cabin is perfect. We were not able to utilize the dock or really get into the woods because of the snow but still enjoyed our time. 10/10 would recommend!

What a gorgeous slice of heaven. Family of four and our dog loved every minute. The cabin was just as described and had everything needed for a perfect getaway before our oldest heads off to college. Canoe, two adult and two child size kayaks and a paddle board. Gorgeous, quiet pond made for a perfect setting to see a beautiful sunrise, to fish, feed the ducks, kayak and paddle board. Many beautiful sites in the area. Shin Pond Falls, Katahdin Woods and Waters, Sebois River Trailhead were highlights. We also rented a side by side from Shin Pond Village, visited Robert’s Mountain and Warren Falls. Epic day! We also stopped into Katahdin Brew Works. Good beer, great people and dog friendly! Thanks Gabe for sharing your beautiful place with us - The Martignetti Family from MA.

Gabe's place met all our expectations & then some! If you're looking for a clean, well kept house on a lake or pond with access to some of the best ATV trails in the state, this place is for you! If ATVing isn't your cup-of-tea, head to Baxter State Park where you can spend days exploring. If you're looking to just relax & kick up your feet while doing a little fishing, head down to the brand new dock. We did all the above & made memories that will be talked about for years, especially the moose sighting on one of our night ATV rides... Thank you Gabe!

Outstanding retreat at the end of the road…but the beginning of an excellent adventure. Gabe was a terrific host, dropped in after check in to say hello. We saw him first thing the next morning too, as the electric went down, power line break…he wanted to be sure we had aux heat, if needed.
House is located just one mile from Mt Chase Lodge/Shin Pond Village, easy access by snowmobile, down the road and shortcut trail. Gorgeous place, modern as advertised, nice view of the lake, spacious parking. Fully provisioned kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, everything you’ll need.
Large LED TV in the family room, Internet access was stable, plenty of heat/light, all the comforts of home. Full bath downstairs had an awesome shower with great water pressure, feels great after a long day on the sleds. Plenty of towels, bath/hand/face, beds were made and ready as advertised. Full size washer/dryer if needed. First floor bedroom is king bed, upstairs loft has two rooms, one queen and two doubles. Plenty of space. There is a half bath upstairs too, very convenient for the second floor guests.
The open floor plan included a nice breakfast bar with two comfy bar stools, supplementing the large table with six chairs. Plenty of space for four singles, or even three couples…we were only three, as our fourth had an appendectomy that kept him from making the trip. Bummer.
All in all, the title says it all, stay here, that is all. Gabe is really nice guy, grew up locally and makes his living in the area. I only wish we could have shared a growler or two with him, from Katadhin Brewing in Patten, 10 miles down the road. Next time Gabe…thank you!

This property has loads of amenities for lake use and location is so convenient for the North Maine Woods. The dock, fire pit and deck are perfect for friends, and family gatherings. The home itself had everything we needed, with comfortable beds great shower and everything you need for a relaxing getaway. Gabe was great and very helpful. All six adults enjoyed their stay and we will be back.

This little spot is heaven on earth.
Quiet and peaceful. Everything was awesome. Gabriel was available if I had an issue.
If it were not for the very long commute of getting there I would love to book more get away time for myself. Refreshes the soul.
Thank you Gabriel.

We enjoyed a wonderful week exploring the Katahdin Woods & Waters National Monument area. We also had an exciting day white water rafting with Maine River Expeditions.
The property was really comfortable, it had everything we needed including the dock and kayaks. We enjoyed being on the water on Shin Pond. The layout was perfect for our family of six. Gabriel was a terrific host.

The pictures didn’t do this cabin justice! The setting was picturesque! The outdoor patio was like something out of a magazine! The inside had all the basics and more. Just a very relaxing cabin with plenty of things to do within an hour drive.

So peacefull
My family of four (all adults) and several friends off and on, stayed so comfortably in this house. Plenty of room to relax. Although I brought a lot of my cooking supplies the place had all the essentials and most of what I brought stay in the box. The weather was cool and a bit rainy but that only added to the relaxing 10 days we had. The owner was more than obliging and communicated with answers to my questions really promptly. The deck was huge and the firepit got a lot of use. Just a wonderful set up. The pond was beautiful and the ducks and loons just topped off the whole trip.

Beautiful cabin with excellent outdoor access!
We stayed at Gabriel's cabin for the weekend, with the goal of hiking Mount Katahdin. It was about a 2-hour drive to the trailhead, but the amenities of the cabin made it well worth our additional drive. The interior is clean, cozy, and well-stocked. The backyard has a lovely deck and a dock that is excellent for kayaking and canoeing.

Just perfect
Gabriel's property was just awesome. We have dome many short-term rentals over the years and this may have been the best stocked/equipped rental we have ever stayed in. The house is all updated, very nice and comfortable. The property is beautiful, on a quiet dirt road on a quiet pond. (We heard loons most nights). It was located near many hiking trails, we hiked most days, we used the canoe and kayaks that are there and rented ATVs for the trails on one day. And this place was the perfect place to stay for everything. We did all our cooking here and had everything we needed to prep and cook meals. We will definitely rent this place again when we head up to the area, probably later in the summer so that we can swim and enjoy the dock. Just cannot say enough about the place.. it was perfect.

serenity and quiet, with easy access to Baxter State Park
A beautiful rental property so close to the best hiking that Maine has to offer. Super comfortable beds after a long day outdoors, and a fire pit near the gorgeous pond to roast marshmallows. You'll be greeted by quiet - just the calls of loons and the gentle lapping of pond water. A superb place to stay!

serenity!
We had a wonderful week in Mt. Chase. The cabin is beyond beautiful and fully stocked for all your needs. Upper Shin Pond was so quiet and peaceful, we pretty much had it to ourselves the entire week. We brought our own paddle boards and kayak but there were plenty to use at the waterfront! Highly recommend a stay at this property!

Will look forward to staying again
For the outdoors persons that we are met all expectations. From the hiking at Baxter as well as Sebeois River to the Owls Head at Scraggly Lake. Very enjoyable. House was in outstanding condition, spent time on the deck and down by the dock. The inlcude paddle board and canoe were well appreciated. Patten, nearby has Ellis Family Market (Hannafords) and remarkably good service and selection. Hope to stay there again next year.

More than expected.
The cabin was beautiful. The pictures we saw prior to renting were great but it did not do it justice. The view was amazing. The property was amazing. Gabriel was great. He was prompt to answer any question. He even greeted us upon arrival and offered our children pool noodles from his place next door. This made their day and they did not disappoint two young children.

Solitude
In a word - perfect! Canoeing on the placid Shin Pond was a highlight. The quiet offered recovery from stress. Wine glasses would be nice, but no real complaint when there's a corkscrew in the drawer!

We absolutely loved this house! Newly renovated and beautiful inside, and an amazing yard/deck/dock/fire pit outside. Sunrise over the pond was beautiful. There are paddle boards and kayaks at the house, or just enjoy the quiet! We hiked in Katahdin woods with our dog, and Baxter state park is not far. Grocery store is 15 minutes away (bring Keurig cups!) Gabriel lives next door and was very helpful but gave us lots of privacy. Would definitely return.
