We had perfect sleeping and playing spaces for 6 adults and 3 kiddos. Plenty of parking, a beautiful beach, clear waterā everything we could ask for. There was a big dining table for us all to eat together inside, and a picnic table outside. Big grassy area for lawn games (we brought). For those of those with littlesā the water is shallow, so perfect for non-swimmers. Communication with the owner was top-notch. Thanks for the stay! Hope to return next year!

We just returned from a wonderful week at this beautiful lake house. The listing was incredibly accurate, and the private beachfront access was better than described. It was perfect for our family which had a lot of children and little fisherman who enjoyed fishing off the dock and the nearby river. The house was absolutely huge and provided a lot of opportunity to spread out, but also had a large enough dining room and screened in porch area to be together.

My friends and I loved the house, comfortable furniture and beds, grill had propane, and kitchen was stocked so we had the ability to cook. My only issues were we didn't have linens for all the beds. We also were given the wrong door code and were stuck out in the rain on check in, with many attempts made to make contact. Owners eventually made contact a little to laye but we already got in at that time.

Everything we wanted in a family lake vacation! Everyone had a wonderful time and the house was amazing.

Someone had a vibrant garden about fifty years ago, and you get to enjoy the nostalgia š The grounds are lovely from the private beach (with shallow water, perfect for little ones), to the outdoor dining with beautiful trees and plants. The house couldnāt be more comfortable!! Okay, perhaps a live-in cook is the only thing missing!š So thankful our large family was able to enjoy this beautiful vacation home!

We really enjoyed our stay! The beds were so comfortable, the lake was shallow and perfect for the kids. We floated and relaxed! I would recommend this for 2 families.

This large lake house comfortably accommodated our family. The outdoor space was a nice grassy lawn leading down to the private sandy beach. Great for toddlers who could go in the shallow water. Firepits each night were fun for all. This is our favorite place to stay for our annual lakeside family vacation.

Incredible house in an amazing location! The lake house has everything you need-great family spaces, a well designed and stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet beauty of Crystal Lake. The expansive beach and shallow entry into the lake were perfect for our family, including our toddler granddaughter who is just beginning to swim. It was a perfect spot to spend the day swimming, kayaking and nature watching as loons, herons and ducks paraded by. Glimpses of the Milky Way and beautiful night skies were an unexpected treat for the night owls in our group. Dina is a gracious host who made checking in and out a breeze. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful lake home with us, Dina! We canāt wait to come back!

We stayed at this cozy Harrison Maine lake house with our family members. There were 6 adults and 1 child. There were plenty of spacious bedrooms and beds. We really enjoyed sitting in the chairs on the sand and looking at the beautiful view of the lake. We also loved using the spacious hot tub. I highly recommend renting this home!

Wife and I came for five nights to do some autumn hiking. Dinaās property was perfectly located in Harrison, with just a short drive to both Bridgton and Norway. Property is clean, well equipped, and offers prime views on the lake. Would highly recommend

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Crystal Lake. The home is very well maintained and on an absolutely gorgeous piece of property. The sandy beach is large and there is so much room to roam around and enjoy the outdoors. Our dog was in heaven. More practically, the beds were comfortable and many details were attended to. The owner was very responsive when we had questions and I would absolutely recommend this home to others.

Wonderful week!
We had a wonderful week at Dina's Crystal Lake house. Amenities were nearby but there was no need to leave the house. We swam, paddled, grilled, and enjoyed the view.

So much fun on the lake
The property on Crystal Lake was phenomenal. The house accommodated all of us very comfortably. The grandkids all enjoyed the beach and the lake, and had great fun in the hot tub. We rented kayaks, and everyone took a turn on the water. One of my sons said it was the best of the vacation homes we've rented over the years, and he was absolutely right. Everyone has a great time!

Family Reunion on the Lake
What an amazing house and property. Large enough to comfortably house a multigenerational family reunion. Beautiful big kitchen, where we prepared every meal. Everyone felt comfortable, we were not on top of each other. We played many games on the expansive lawn. The sandy beach was great for the little ones. We rented kayaks and paddleboards from Lake Region Paddle and they were delivered right to the lake, it was very convenient. Dina was very accommodating and easy to work with. We had a vacation of a lifetime!

Womanās Weekend 15th year!
8 of us have been doing a yearly get together, for the past 15 years. We have stayed at many homes over the years. The home was very clean and cozy! The home was in great shapeā¦ things that always bug me is remotes that donāt work, or lack of batteries, things that are broken so you can only half use them, or appliances that are difficult to use especially entertainment equipment. None of this was an issue. This home is well cared for and the cleaning crew assures that it is in tip top shape for the next guests. The owner is responsive and follows thru. The beach area is quiet and beautiful. The location gives you several different directions to go in. Donāt worry about having to go grocery shopping ahead the grocery store is nearby. Will definitely come back.

Wonderful Family Trip
This property was all that you could ask for and Dina, the owner, was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We stayed at the house with a couple families with young children, who enjoyed the yard as well as the lake time, as well as the bedrooms and nooks and crannies that they found in the crawl spaces (a ten year old girls dream for a hiding spot!).
The kitchen was full of what we needed to cook and the bedrooms and other living spaces were comfortable (wonderful mattresses!!).
The shallowness of the lake is perfect for our young children and we hope to come back again!

Great for large families
This house had a nice private beach front. The back yard was spacious and water was super clear. You will need to rent paddle boards, kayaks etc., it's worth contacting a local marina ahead of time. We rented a Pontoon boat and kayaks from Gateway marina, who was excellent to deal with. The lake is great for Kayaking. The house, has all updated appliances, Great modern Kitchen and is child friendly. Bed were very comfortable. Communication with the host, Dina was prompt. Which we greatly appreciated. The lake is less than 3.5-feet deep for more than 75-feet. The bottom is sand, squishy in areas. The dock at the house is shallow but fine for boats and experienced operator. There was not excessive weekend boat traffic on the lake, it didn't feel crowded. We were able to see ducks, loons, and beaver. Overall a great vacation for us.

We had an incredible time at this home! We traveled with a group of two adults and four children, ages 2-5. The home was child friendly and the beach/lake area was perfect for the kids with a private beach and water shallow enough for them to jump of the dock.
If you want to rent paddle boards, kayaks etc., it's worth contacting a local marina ahead of time as a couple deliver but they have a 3 day minimum. We ended up renting stand up paddle boards from Dingley's Wharf for a day (they secured them to the top of our car) and we had a great experience with them.
The house is very clean, has all appliances you need, and is child friendly. The property is absolutely gorgeous - we spent our entire three days at the home and didn't feel the need to leave. Communication with the host, Dina was prompt. Everything exceeded our expectations! We hope to be back one day!

We loved Crystal Lake!
This waterfront spot was great for our family vacation! Bring your own inflatable floats and just stroll right down to the sandy beach. The lake is less than 3.5-feet deep for more than 75-feet from this private beach, extra great for young children without water confidence to just splash in and out all day but also superb to kick back with a drink and float! The bottom is sand, squishy in areas. We brought our 18-ft boat, there is a public boat launch just down the road. The dock at the house is shallow but absolutely fine for an 18-footer and experienced operator. Late June fishing was very slow. There was not excessive weekend boat traffic on the lake, it didn't feel crowded. We also brought our own kayaks and the lake is great for that! You can kayak up Sucker Brook adjacent to the house. We were able to see wood ducks, loons, and beaver.
The beds, mattresses, and sheets were very good quality and sleeping was comfortable with air conditioners. The layout worked well for our family trip with 6 adults and 4 children and the bedrooms were quiet. Everybody really enjoyed hopping in the hot tub, we did not make use of the sauna. The yard is large, flat, and grassy. Great for outdoor games! The driveway is large and easy to use for multiple vehicles. The house feels secluded and the neighbors on one side were quiet.
The host was extremely responsive. We recommend you bring your own: beach towels, baby gates, kayaks/canoe/boats, inflatables, sand toys, soaps & shampoos, spices. There is a good book, game, & puzzle selection at the house and the wi-fi and t.v. were easy to find & use.

I was looking for the perfect spot for my spouses birthday as well as our friends 40th. We needed a place to accommodate 10 adults, pet friendly and had a few activities to keep us entertained for a few days and this spot absolutely met the task. We had a fire on the beach each night, utilized the clean jacuzzi and sauna and had the ability to have big dinners each night. The location is a bit tucked away but we found a cute brewery (Fluvial) 10min away and hiked 2 days. Dina was very responsive when we had a question. Highly recommend!!
