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

Summary of reviews
Wonderful lake views, peaceful surroundings, spacious cabin with easy access to the water and dock. Great amenities for a relaxing stay.
2.0
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.

Its a very nice home, with lots of amenities. great to be able to have access to washer and dryer and fully stocked kitchen, and 2 bathrooms. The lake was great, it's a rocky bottom so the owners advise to wear shoes (we wore crocs) was helpful. Owner is very available for questions. great customer service! The view is amazing! and the fire pit was one of my highlights! having access to kayaks was also appreciated and we had a great time exploring the lake. One fair warning, the camp road is dirt/gravel, and lots of hills so our plan of doing some light biking was not in the cards, you need to be in shape to bike or hike! the driveway is very steep down (I was warned by the owner). It was a little hard to maneuver our van down the driveway so we could unpack, but turned out even harder to get it back UP the driveway. Our 2nd vehicle was a Prius, and it could NOT get back up the driveway, it had rained which made it a little slick, but we got it good and stuck and had to get it towed. just fair warning, there is a place to park before it gets to the steepest part, and I would advise that (so did the owner honestly). We did finally leave our vehicles there, which made it a bit of work packing back up to leave. that steepness and the 40 steps to the dock were a small drawback. Not enough to make the trip a bad experience though! but if you have mobility issues, it is something to consider. The first day was very hot and humid, and it was hard to air out the cabin, many windows didn't have screens and the ones that did seemed to still get small bugs through it, such is life in the woods, but the owners has fans available and AC in one room. The rest of our trip unfortunately was overcast and rainy and cool, but we made the most of it, and had a good time, did some puzzles, and watched some movies the owner had. Would definitely consider going again!

Cabin was in a perfect, private spot. Very clean and bigger than we expected. We had great weather and the lake was amazing. Perfect for swimming or lounging on a tube. Thanks again to the Fillions...a great time had by all!

Drew's Lake Cabin
This cabin was a nice clean cabin for my wife and myself to stay in and enjoy Drew's Lake.

Great family getaway
We traveled 3 hours and it was worth every minute. It was quiet, private and overall beautiful. The lake was perfect temperature for swimming. The cabin had a great layout that worked well for the whole family. Even when the kids didn't want to be outside (or if it was too hot) there were plenty of games to play and things to keep them entertained. It was hard to leave and go back to reality. Thanks so much for a relaxing week!

Nice but not 3 bedrooms
The cabin is charming with nice quiet location. I would definitely stay here again. The “third” bedroom is not a bedroom. It is not private as and you pass thru this room to get to the upstairs bedroom and the back deck.

Gorgeous sunsets
Good communication with the owner. The place was nice and clean with lots of room. Great views and love the fire pit near the lake. Nothing like having a fire while watching the sunset and listening to the loons. Will definitely return.

Loons, camp fires, and kayaks.
Great rental. Thanks for allowing us to stay at your place. Took the kayaks across the lake, swam daily, built camp fires, listened to Loons, grilled food on the deck, watched the sunset, read a book by the dock, and watched movies from a plus collection of flicks. Thanks.

beautiful peaceful spot
The cabin had everything you needed for cooking such as dishes, glassware, grilling tongs, pots and pans etc. We enjoyed some beautiful sunsets and loved the wildlife. The fire pit down by the water made for great evenings. We enjoyed kayaking (consider bringing your own life jackets for a good fit).
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Drew’s lake!

Best Camp Ever
This is the 2nd time we have stayed at Joe’s lake camp. It has all the amenities required for an amazing family vacation.
The views are absolutely stunning.
The lake is one of the best in all of Aroostook County.
Joe is attentive to all of your needs.
I would highly recommend this for your vacation to Maine. Just not the first week of July, as I plan to have it every year at this time! Thanks again Joe. Always a magical stay.

Beautiful location on Drew’s Lake
Our family enjoyed a wonderful vacation at this property. The home is so private and there is very minimal boat traffic - quiet and safe for kids that like to swim and snorkel. The kitchen is fully stocked for family meals in the dining room or outside on the deck. We hope to return next summer
