This home was the perfect place for our family to gather for a nearby wedding. Everything was just as described and the owners were very responsive!

We were happy to be returning to this property because it's conveniently located, comfortable, and we love being on the lake. Everything was as we remembered, except the cleaning crew was not quite up to snuff. We addressed this with the homeowner and they said they will address it with the cleaner. Lovely spot for a fall weekend!

Very nice spot with tons of room. We really enjoyed our stay. Hosts were very easy to work with.

We had a wonderful time! The house was beautiful & clean (and big enough for our family and our friends) and the lake was peaceful. Thank you!

My family and I were very happy with our stay at the calling loon house. Great access to swimming and kayaking in beautiful Crystal Lake. Great layout to the house for hosting a big family. The guidance from the hosts was very clear and helpful

We simply had a wonderful time on Crytal Lake. The house is spacious, and clean, with calming atmosphere, and plenty of space downstairs for kids to play. we enjoyed kayaking, fishing, and the beautiful sunrise each morning that was coloring the lake with silver shades. Thank you!

All was as expected, Home is spacious and very comfortable. This lake was gorgeous . Only issue was that the lake has been over-fished and we got no nibbles. Fisherman residents agree with that. Internet was in and out at times, but may have been due to weather. Also remember to bring your own bath rugs. Thank You

The house was comfortable and easy. The "supply your own linens" message 3 weeks before the trip was a big surprise and we were grateful one of us was driving AND had enough linens to supply the whole group! We had family across the lake and enjoyed paddling back and forth. Thank you.

House is stocked with everything you need. Pictures are very accurate. Great spot on the lake!

The house was ideal for our friend-reunion. Plenty of room, and a great location. A few neighbors through the trees, but rarely saw or heard them. Swimming, fishing, boating, and kayaking were right down the steps to the lake. (FYI If you have mobility issues, this rental may be not suit your needs as far as water access goes.) Many late afternoons spent on the deck overlooking the lake and listening to the loons. Kitchen had everything we needed. Grocery store was a short drive away. Hosts left clear rental instructions and were very responsive. A few of the mattresses and pillows could use an upgrade, but other than that, it was pretty perfect!

The hosts communicated with us throughout our booking process and our stay. Very pretty spot by the lake and there was plenty of room for our party of 8! Bathrooms and beds all were good. Huge open concept kitchen/dining/living made it good for family time at night. Huge hill to get up(both ways) but it's walkable to Harrison's ice cream and village tie up. Thanks for a lovely stay!

My daughter, my friend and I had a delightful week at Crystal Lake. We kayaked, swam, had ice cream at The Creamery and went to the Bridgton Drive-in. The lake is beautiful, with little traffic and really is crystal clear. The grill and the well-equipped kitchen made for easy cooking and the beds were comfortable. It's a great cottage.

Our family of 6 adults and 2 small children stayed here for 6 nights and had a wonderful time. The vibe was just what we were looking for - relaxed lake living. The place was spacious, giving us room to work during the day and gather in the evening without worrying about keeping the children awake. The kitchen was very well stocked. The washer and dryer were great. (Just remember to bring sheets, towels, kitchen towels/sponges, shampoo, and laundry detergent.) The lake is just incredibly beautiful, and access was easy. We went to the town beach several times and rented the gazebo for a larger gathering. We will definitely try to stay here again for a family vacation.

The home was spacious and comfortable. The lake access is very good. Our hosts were attentive and the house has what we needed.

Great experience here - happy to come back. We enjoyed our time on the lake and good family time. Worth noting, as described, you have to bring your own towels, which include dish towels too.

Loved that it was so close to the water, check in process was super and convenient. Thank you!

The house was very clean and as advertised. A very little comment I would make and maybe I missed it is I wish there would have been dish towels or have been told in the linen requests. Would book again.

Our family of 5 siblings enjoyed our reunion after attending my son’s wedding in Waterford. The lake is quiet and good for swimming, sailing, canoeing and kayaking. We enjoyed walks to the beach and in the area. The kitchen is well supplied and living/dining open area and deck worked well for us to gather for cocktails and meals. We liked having the porch for smaller groups to enjoy puzzles and games especially on rainy days. It’s a great house! We are already looking at dates for booking next summer.

We rented this house for a week with another family. There were 8 of us and it was perfect. Tons of space for everyone. Great screened in porch and big upper deck. On the days we decided to stay home we went swimming, kayaked, paddle boat, ping pong. Property was very clean, bed rooms were good size. Owners were quick to answer and questions we had. Would definitely rent again.

We had a very enjoyable visit in a beautiful location.

Wonderful location! Our family enjoyed time on the dock, kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming. The screened-in porch was perfect for dinners and games in the evening and when it rained. The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of pans, plates and silverware making family meals easy. The entire family had a wonderful vacation!

This was my first time to Maine and I really enjoyed my stay. The house is in a great location close to many sites. We enjoyed our timw hanging out and playing games and chilling on the one. We never needed a television. Great week with the family.

Waterfront. Perfect for families. Owners were very responsive and accommodating. Enjoyed our stay!

I absolutely loved the view, the lake, and the use of the kayaks. Beyond that there were quite a few issues. I am not a picky person, I understand that most of these property's are people's vacation homes. Our first issue was the beds. The listing says 2 queens and we had to bring our own linens, which I understand especially now and that was fine. The problem was the bed upstairs that was supposed to be a queen was a double, it also had a very poor mattress. We took this trip with our in-laws for Father's Day weekend. My husband is 51, 6 feet tall and has some back issues. My in-laws are in their 70's, relatively fit, but my father-in lay is 6'-1". We gave them the bedroom on the main floor with the queen. It was fine. The room upstairs was awful. The bed was squished under the eves and so bad when I got in next to my husband, I rolled right to him uncontrollable. We are both pretty fit people too. I ended up with such back pain I was up at 5:30 am just to get out of that bed. Luckily the dock was the perfect place for morning yoga. Our second issue was the deck. It is in such disrepair that you had to be careful where you were walking for fear of falling through rotting boards. One evening the chair I was sitting in had it's leg break through. I'm only 140 lbs. This was a constant concern for my mother-in-law. I was afraid she'd trip or fall on uneven rotting boards. The last issue was the stairs down to the dock. My in-laws only came down once because they are in such disrepair. Nails coming up everywhere, rickety and angled oddly. I would be very scared of young children on them, as well as our older parents. The kitchen was good, everything we needed to cook all our meals. I really appreciate that. I do love the homey feel of older houses like this one and the view is beautiful. I suggest getting a new mattress for the upstairs bed, and changing where it's located. Also repairing the deck and the stairs to the water. I caution those renting to be very careful! I would not rent here again unless improvements have been made.

We had a perfect relaxing weekend. The place is awesome and well prepared to accommodate a large group. The outdoor areas of this property are really beautiful. It's all so peaceful. The inside of the house was lovely as well. This was the absolute best cabin rental I've ever stayed in. The view of the lake is majestic along with the beauty of the cabin. In sum this was the best time we have had in years and we truly hated to leave yesterday. Heather & Tom was very friendly and helpful. Overall, a great experience.

We went up to Maine from NY and enjoyed staying at this property. The house is great for families. Lots of bedrooms to chose from. The house was very clean and had everything you would need. The town is not much to speak of but most everything is within 15 minute drive. You are on a smaller lake (Crystal) but 5 minutes from the larger long lake and 20 minutes from the north end of Sebago (enormous lake). Our teens used the kayaks and rented paddle boards for the week and had a great time. We took day trips on a couple of Maine’s beautiful scenic byways, went into Portland one day, and rented a boat on Sebago one day. A very peaceful vacation. Only wish the dock extended into deeper water or there was a swim platform available. It would also be nice to have a bit easier access to the water. All in all a very nice rental in a quiet location.

The cabin was spacious, well-appointed and very clean. Crystal Lake is a beautiful lake to paddle around and was also close to other lakes and White Mountain hiking areas. The cabin came with two kayaks and a peddle boat that the kids loved pedaling around in. The owners very responsive, incredibly kind and made sure we had everything we needed and were able to accommodate a very last minute vacation. We had an amazing vacation!

Our family of 3 had a wonderful visit! Clean, and nicely and thoughtfully appointed. Open kitchen/dining/living room layout a huge plus. Loads of room to spread out. Lovely views from house too. We rented a boat from Harrison Marina and a paddle board from Ski Hot to go along with the peddle boat and kayaks already on site. We heard and saw so many loons. Lake isn't too busy --perfect for us-- and house location in the cove added to tranquility. Definitely recommend and we'd certainly return!

Renting the property was efficient and friendly. Questions were answered immediately. The house was perfect for us. Nice open floor plan. Everything you needed in the kitchen. Quiet bedrooms on 2nd floor. We sat on the big deck and admired the view. Crystal Lake was warm and clean. We rented a pontoon boat on Long Lake..nearby from Harrison Marina. It was so wonderful. We had a great time. Would go back in a heartbeat. Thank you Tom and Heather!

Nice house with spacious layout...lake is nice and calm...also very close and convenient to Long Lake if you want more activities

This lake house was just what we were looking for. It is right on a quiet, small lake with space between your neighbors houses to both sides. It was very private and quiet. The town was close enough to kayak over and enjoy the town beach area and grab an ice cream. The house was better than we expected. It was clean and the open kitchen-living room was a great place to hang out. The evening it rained, we enjoyed sitting in the screened in porch playing games. The deck was an ideal place to have our coffee in the morning looking out at the lake. The location was perfect for us to get to the White Mountains to hike. Would definitely come back.
