This is an Absolutely beautiful lake and the beach and access to the water was so good for water activities, which is hard to find in Maine.

Rick wasn't kidding when he said "Everything is supplied for you; just bring your own towels, clothes, toiletries." (And of course food). Plenty of room for all of us (6 adults, 4 grandchildren ages 6 and under). Full kitchen ... even came with EVOO, mixer, and blender. (There were more fry pans than needed). Even had an outdoor shower with hot and cold water! Shed with floats, skis, minnow net. We do wish the floating dock had been in the water; but, even so, a great time had by all of us. Highly recommend. Four stars for location because, facing east, it got quite a bit of shade from about 3pm on....which is actually great on really hot days. Water temperature was warm, perfect. Thank you!

The cottage is as advertised and in a lovely location on a beautiful lake. Lots of floaties and toys for kids, with space to play. As noted, the beach is shared with the family house but we found it very comfortable to use. House is also next to some others (through the trees) but also not a problem. Clearly the loons and eagles also favor this location! The screened porch is a highlight of the house - we enjoyed our meals and relaxing there with the ever-changing lake view.

The home was clean and cozy. The screened in porch was perfect! The lake was gorgeous and extremely quiet. We felt like we had the entire lake to ourselves. Rick was very helpful and was accessible when we had questions. We would've given this home 5 stars but we felt the description of the property on VRBO did not match the actual property. The house sits on a shared lot. Which normally is not an issue but the description stated "private beach." The beach is shared with another home (luckily for us no one was in the other home when we rented the property). The pictures and description on VRBO show a dock and a jon boat on the property. We were disappointed to see that the dock and the boat were not in the water. (We spoke to Rick after our trip and he informed us that the dock will be installed on July 1) We truly enjoyed our mini vacation in beautiful Lovell! We decided to write this review to help future guests. We recommend this property for anyone looking for a beautiful, quiet and relaxing vacation.
