About this house rental

Our log sided Drews Lake home in Linneus is now available for vacation rental. The home is privately set on a large double lot and is as close as you can get to the lake without getting wet. Our home offers what is arguably the most beautiful sunset view found on peaceful Drews Lake. Excellent fishing, boating and kayaking can be had on this 1,000 acre lake.
The home has 1,280 feet of living space that includes 2 bedrooms with an additional sleeping den, 1 ½ bathrooms, a full kitchen with dishwasher, washer and dryer, large living room with cathedral ceiling and a picture window view overlooking the lake.
The home also includes a fully furnished kitchen. The home has a newer well {very good drinking water}, a newer septic system, cedar ceilings, and hickory laminate flooring throughout.
The home has sliding glass doors to a large deck overlooking the lake with a gas grill and picnic table. The deck is the perfect spot for viewing and listening to the numerous loons that make Drew’s Lake their summer home. It’s also a great place to catch an occasional glimpse of an eagle or osprey.
There is a dock for swimming and for storing kayaks and canoes. Larger boats can be launched from the nearby public launch.
The home sleeps 6 using 1 queen, 1 double bed and 2 twin bunk beds.
We are located just 15 minutes from downtown Houlton where you will find a Wal-Mart and two additional supermarket-size grocery stores. There are two golf courses nearby and there is also a movie theater in town. The regional hospital and several churches can also be found in nearby downtown Houlton.
Just over an hour to Fredericton, the beautiful capital of New Brunswick
Just over an hour to Penobscot River white water rafting and the Baxter State Park South entrance
Our cell phones do get service.
To help keep the rental price down, TV is local channels only via antenna. Web access is available at several local establishments in nearby downtown Houlton {Tim Horton’s etc.}.

The cabin was adequate, as far as accommodations go, but the upstairs is very hot on these hot days. The ancient window a/c was not up to the task of cooling much of the space. When we opened windows, we were inundated with LOTS of flies and bugs. Lighting was very dim. The expectations for checkout tasks was unreasonable, especially given the fact the cost of the cabin through Vrbo included a cleaning fee—vacuuming, sweeping, cleaning toilets, sinks and showers, cleaning barbecue grill, taking out trash and recyclables, etc., etc. One wonders exactly what that cleaning fee covers and whether the cabin is checked between rentals, given that we found trash in the bathroom wastebasket upon arrival, along with dirty kitchen towels in the washing machine. The lake is lovely and a convenient location for visiting with family who live nearby, and the host responsive, but there were many annoying aspects to this rental, I’m afraid.

The cabin was spacious. We enjoyed the large deck. The steps to the water and the dock were easy to get down. We enjoyed the quiet and lack of close neighbors.

All the conveniences are provided for a vacation in the wilderness and only 15 minutes to shopping and dining in Houlton. Baxter State Park is a must see and just an hour away. And New Brunswick is just a few minutes from Houlton. Or just stay here and kayak on Drews Lake.
