What a great location and home! Top 10 Reasons we had a GREAT visit..... 1. The Parking Space / Driveway is enormous. This allowed for all types of games with the kids - easy access in and out of the home and provided much desired privacy. 2. The Dock is in excellent condition - greatly improves the process of docking the boat / water sports etc...and was also a great place to sit at night and watch the sunset. Some small pockets of boulders nearby that provided some fishing / exploration. There is also a Bald Eagle nesting on the property which was exciting to watch come and go. 3. The sandy entrance to the water is superb. If you have small children - you are in luck. You can have eyes on them from multiple points - easy to get in and out of the water....Loons & Ducks all spotted nearby 4. The Property is well maintained and landscaped - and very large with many little trails for exploring. The trees along the property are well groomed and placed - giving views to the lake but privacy where needed. 5. The house was spacious - tastefully decorated and very clean. Many areas to gather or find privacy. The kitchen was modern and fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. There was literally nothing we expected to find that we did not - and nothing we needed or desired that was not included 6. The Canoes - Kayaks - Paddle Boards - Rafts - Life Vests etc all in excellent condition and close to the water. The FIRE PIT has good kindling nearby / in a great spot with plenty of seating making for excellent campfires / smores and stories.. 7. All the "Game Room" items ( Ping Pong Table / Pool Table etc) are in great condition - and have all needed parts! Nothing more disappointing than going to play ping pong with 1 ball. Not a problem here! I did not hear the words "we are bored" ever mentioned. 8. Hot Tub is in excellent condition - ditto for Sauna... 9. Bedrooms were appropriately sized - and the beds were comfortable. 10. The outside deck is large - plenty of seating and has a great view of the Lake below Having visited Thompson Lake multiple times I can say this is right at the top as one of our favorites!

What a lovely week we had on Megquier Island! Thank you Sheila & Steven for opening up your beautiful & spacious home to our family and for being so attentive. Accommodations were clean and well-designed with so many comfortable options on where to spend time and hang out. We practically lived between your well-appointed kitchen and the large deck with glorious views out to Thompson Lake. Then moved down by the private sandy beach, enjoying our time together in the super-clear water, relaxing in the Adirondack chairs and out on the dock. Kayaking was perfection. And, that late June Strawberry Moon was magical. Playing Ping Pong, shooting pool and soaking in the hot tub rounded out our wonderful stay. We loved it here! You will too.

In this time of COVID our family felt fortunate to be able to safely experience a change of scenery and that Sheila's home was available to us. Everything about the home is lovely - it's location with sweeping views of the lake through old growth trees as well as it's beautiful interior. It offered everything we could possibly need for hibernating in the winter.... a kitchen fully stocked with sharp knives and loads of good quality pans, a cozy living space with a great gas fireplace, lots of space for our kids to stretch out (tv room for school zooms, reading nooks in bedrooms) and pool/ping pong/foosball/ hot tub/sauna to keep everyone active. We didn't wander far from the house except for some nice walks along the Island road. Sheila kindly left the Christmas tree up, which was a really nice addition to the ambiance of the holidays. We used the terrific fire pit, which was surrounded by chairs and a large stack of wood for our use. We wandered the lakeside looking at ice formations and a couple of us fished a bit. While it was perfect for our winter needs (even snowing one night!), we could also envision how amazing the house would be in every season. Sheila was a wonderful host, responsive to all our covid concerns - the house was extremely clean upon our arrival, and communicated clearly with any questions we had prior to the stay. Arrival/entry was easy and a full notebook was provided answering any questions about the house, which was great. From comfy beds to beautiful art work and a basement our kids dream about.... we highly recommend staying at Sheila's Thompson Lake home. You won't be disappointed!

This is a beautiful, private, lake front house on pristine Thompson Lake. The house has everything your family would need and is very clean and nicely decorated. Enjoy the quiet and listen to the loons, take a swim, waterski, kayak, paddle board, or relax in the hot tub. Hope to visit again.

Great property to downshift and to spend time in nature. Very peaceful environment but lots to do on the property - swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, basketball, fire pit, BBQ, hot tub, darts and billiards.

We had such a relaxing stay at this well appointed home on Thompson Lake. Everything from swimming,tubing and fishing to playing pool and foosball on rainy days....but the highlight for my wife and I was just relaxing by the lake with coffee in the mornings,and cold beer in the evenings. Such a magical place!

This house is great for a large group. Lots of space to do things together or to find your own place to sit and read a book. Highly recommend!

This was a wonderful spot on Thompson Lake. Property was clean and nicely appointed. The setting was quiet and we loved the old growth trees throughout the property.

Nice

This was the perfect place for our 3 generation vacation. Great sleeping spaces, plenty of room for people to be together or in smaller groups. Great kitchen, well equipped. Hope we can come again.

The pictures don't do this property justice - large, spacious, elegantly and tastefully decorated, with everything that you may need, from grill to ping-pong table, with the most pristine, clean lake we have ever seen and sunsets out of this world. Absolutely remarkable. We already plan to go back next summer. Thank you to Sheila for such a wonderful week for our family.

What a gem! The house is more-than-spacious and most rooms have huge windows taking in the lake view. Throw them open at night to hear the loons and the water lapping the shore. The well appointed kitchen has every gadget imaginable, but don't get stuck in there- take some time to play a game from the closet or borrow a book from the shelf! Rainy-day hot-tubbing, ping-pong and a pool table await, but when the sun shines head for the lake! Private swimming area, huge dock with sun chairs and paddle boards, kayaks etc. We rented a boat from the nearby marina to explore the gorgeous lake and take the kids tubing! We ended every day with sunset cocktails and the breathtaking view from the dock. All in all our stay was perfect! We had the perfect mix of all the comforts of home and the appointments of a private resort! We can't wait till next year!!

Sheila and Steve's home on Thompson Lake is wonderful. It is well equipped (linen, kitchen items, and other supplies) and can even accommodate a large family with young children on a rainy day (foosball, ping pong, board games, a extensive DVD library, and a hot tub)! The children love the bunk room which, as do two bedrooms for adults, has a great view of the lake. Lake access is suitable for youngsters, swimmers, and boaters. The home comes with a canoe and two kayaks which are great for exploring the lake. Shopping is a short drive. Thompson Lake is large (11 miles long) and deep (120 feet at deepest). There is little boat traffic. The water is clear. We know central Maine lakes, and we can attest that Thompson Lake is the finest. The home is quiet. It is located on the second of two islands connected to the mainland by two causeways.

We rented this beautiful, large, exceptionally stocked and maintained house on lovely Thompson Lake in Maine. It easily and comfortably accommodated our family of 10 from age 2 to 76. It strikes the perfect balance between nature, water based activities such as swimming, boating and fishing, and just plain good old fashioned relaxing in a quiet, pristine location. We loved it...and can recommend it to anyone who wants a serene getaway. The owners have made sure that guests are taken care of and even provide a binder that is filled with useful information from where to eat to how to reset the internet modem! We loved, loved, loved the place. Thanks again for a MAGNIFICENT stay.

Thank you for letting us stay at your house on Thomson lake. This is the most magnificent and gorgeous place I have ever seen! That few days were a winter wonderland fairy tale for us.

We needed a last minute escape from the city and lucked into this beautiful home. The pictures do not do justice to the beautiful kitchen - it was a pleasure to cook (they even have sharp knives!). The dining room and living room are spacious, yet cozy. Our girls (ages 1 & 3) had so much fun in the driveway and yard. The setting is amazing - beautiful lake views and a truly secluded yard. The owners were very accomodating. An amazing weekend - we should have stayed longer.

We have rented this house for several years. It's a lovely, well cared for and well appointed home. In my opinion, Thompson Lake is one of the nicest lakes in the area. The owners are very accessible and if a problem occurs they take care of it immediately. We have rented other homes in the area and this is by far our favorite. I give it a rave review!

Over the years my family has rented several homes in this area. But when we discovered this beautiful home on Thompson Lake, we knew we had found the perfect place. The home is lovely, well laid out, beautifully furnished and in impeccable condition. Thompson Lake is gorgeous! Quiet and serene. I just can't say enough about this fabulous vacation spot.

We have been renting through VRBO for over ten years. We just stayed at this property over New Years and I really cannot say enough about it! It is very spacious with many rooms to relax on the first floor. All of which are nicely decorated with plenty of comfortable furniture. The kitchen is fantastic with lots of room for people to cook and/or eat at the island and is stocked with everything you could possible need. The 5 bedrooms up stairs are set up perfectly and will work if you have a small group or a large crowd. There are two very nice full baths up stairs as well as a half bath on the firsts floor. In the finished basement there is a room with a pool table and attached to that is a large garage (with heat) that has ping pong and foosball. There is also a glassed in room with a nice big hot tub which was great! Super super clean and the owners, Sheila and Steve are great to deal with. The one and only thing I would suggest, and it is minor, is to have some kind of shades in the bedrooms. The view of the lake is fantastic and I can see why it is wide open but it would be nice to be able pull down a shade at night and to block early morning sun. Not a big problem, just a preference thing. All in all this property is by far one of the best we have rented. We would most definitely return!
