We had a nice time here; we were in town for a family reunion. Kids loved the activities (yard games, hot tub, pool table, and air hockey). It was a little tricky to find at first but we figured it out. Some of us didn't have great cell service, but that was true across much of the state.

This property is breathtakingly beautiful inside and out. The Host is 5 stars for his kindness and willingness to take care of our needs. The best place around, hands down.

This was my family’s first time to Maine and the home was everything and more. A wonderful touch of modern and home. It was somewhere wonderful to do different activities on the property or to relax after a day of adventures. Highly recommended thank you again!!

Upon arrival, we received a tour of the rental from Andrea. He was just a text message away and friendly/responsive to any questions we had. The rental is nicer than the vrbo photos portray. Cozy home in the woods, no sounds of the highway - just nature. Also, just a short 5-10 min walk to the lake and a 20 min drive into town for groceries. We can't wait to go back!

Had an amazing stay at this property. Far enough away from everything to stay quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to enjoy the area of Derry, ME (if you know, you know).

It is very big . Bedrooms are great!!!
Very quiet area. Saids slept 8 but we had to pay more over 4 adult and a baby.
Not sure what the cut off is for charging more. Not to bad $20 a person per night.
Very easy to deal with and quick taking care of anything. Would stay there again. !!!!

Wonderful for Christmas
Wonderful stay. House was very nice. Excellent kitchen. Two terrific bedrooms upstairs and two in the basement would be great for kids although the basement ones were chilly in the winter (would be great in summer!). Andreas was terrific - even got us a Christmas tree!

Bernhard's place exceeded our expectations. It was very clean, and the location was splendid. There were plenty of things to do around the house. There was a fire pit, grill, hot tub, games and a huge lake nearby where you could kayak. We really enjoyed our 4 day vacation there. Would love to go back there some day.
The property manager was very prompt and friendly. Thank you for your help, and we would definitely recommend this place.

Amazing place for a getaway
Wow. This place really has it all. You get the whole area for yourself and there are things to do from day to night. Just 2 minutes away, you can drive to the lake where you can kayak/canoe. There’s also a campfire and grill for eating festivities. At the time of our stay, Andrea was our property manager and we couldn’t ask for any more. He was very hospitable and was very responsive if we ever needed anything. Would definitely recommend this place if you have a big group.

Stunning vacation getaway!
We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Martins Heaven. We were a group of 5 college aged men and there was plenty of things to keep us busy. Andrea was very helpful and there for whatever we needed. The house was spacious and welcoming. It was also extremely clean upon our arrival. It was a little disappointing that there was not a boat to rent as stated as we would’ve enjoyed to fish on Lake Pushaw but the kayaks and canoes made up for the lack thereof. Thank you again for an amazing stay.

Beautiful home
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Andrea was very helpful and attentive. I texted him once to ask about the pool and he came right over to fix it. The hot tub was not working well, but we were able to use it. The weather wasn’t conducive for a hot tub anyway, as there was a heat wave going on. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed riding the bikes, and all of us enjoyed the kayaks. We used the game room as well. The equipment was a little bit beat up (broken pool cues,etc), but fun nonetheless. We went to Acadia one day, which was only about an hour away. Overall, a great experience! We were all very pleased!

Beautiful and fun!
We had such a fun and relaxing time! Feeding “Snappy” the snapping turtle in the pond was the highlight of the summer for my boys! We hope to be back!

Nice property in quiet setting
Place was immaculate and beautiful. Grounds are serene and lots of wildlife. Would have been nice if it was closer to the lake but as the ice wasn't out yet, it wasn't a big deal.
Definitely would go back.

Great house with large bedrooms and living space, very well equipped
We had a great Thanksgiving holiday at Martin's place and were welcomed with the first snow falls! It was gorgeous!
Be aware that your GPS might take you to the wrong number on the road, at least Waze did for us but luckily Andrea was there on behalf of the owner waiting for us on the main road despite the cold!
The kitchen is very well equipped and we were able to cook a full traditional Thanksgiving dinner thanks to all the kitchen tools and appliances at our disposal! The bedrooms upstairs are huge, and with a beautiful view on the pond (which was frozen and lots of fun for the kids to skate on) and the surrounding forest.
On the down side, the bedroom downstairs in the playroom was kind of noisy because of the water pipes running next to the beds but the kids moved to the other bedroom downstairs and everything was just fine. If your kids are deep sleepers or if your whole party is waking up at the same time then that shouldn't be a problem but if your kids sleep light and you have a mix of early birds and night owls with someone taking a morning shower or doing the dishes while someone is still sleeping downstairs then it could become a slight problem.
The hottub was a big hit for all, juniors to seniors, everybody enjoyed it!
Bangor is only a short 10 to 15 minutes drive away with plenty of stores, even a mall, grocery stores and much more to satisfy everyone's expectations.
Thanks Martins and Andrea, we really had a blast!

It was a beautiful place and we enjoyed the peace and quiet!
It was nice to get away! The house was gorgeous! We were bummed that the hot tub was not working! Definitely should if asked if October was considered a winter month!

Peaceful Get-away in the Maine Woods!
We enjoyed our stay! This was our first visit to Maine so we didn’t spend as much time at the property as I would have liked. We had an aggressive agenda for the week and found the house to be in a good central location to all of the activities we wanted to pursue.
It was approximately an hour from Acadia National Park which has stunning views! We also visited Mt. Katahdin, which was a little over an hour and a half away. Beautiful area - I only wished we had seen moose while we were there. We understand you can’t predict nature though. We then decided to try our luck by hiring a guide to go on a moose safari in the Moosehead Lake region (1 1/2 hrs away). Our guide Steve, from Northwoods Outfitters, was great - we saw 6 moose (1 buck, 1 young adult, 2 cows with two calves), 1 snowshoe hare, 1 garter snake, a couple of chipmunks, and 4 loons ( mom, dad, and 2 babies)! We booked a private tour and it was definitely worth it - highly recommend!
At the house, we unfortunately weren’t there enough to view a lot of wildlife. However, David did see his first ever porcupine climbing down a tree one evening - sadly, I missed it. We were also treated to the beautiful sound of loons and owls as we sat by the fire pit at night! The sky was filled with a beautiful display of bright stars as we enjoyed the peaceful serene nights.
We also enjoyed the hot Tub! We enjoyed the house and property and wished we had a few more days but we had to get back to reality.
I also want to give a special thanks to Andrea for stocking firewood for us to enjoy the fire Pit!
Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property if you are looking for a peaceful serene get-away.
