We visited in October at peak foliage for some hiking in nearby Evans Notch and to re-acquaint ourselves with Lovell. Perfect setting. The owner (Marti) contacted us directly before arrival with directions and went over to turn on the outside light when she heard we would arrive after dark. The living area, 2 bedrooms and the deck + screened porch all look right over the sandy beach and up the lake. We had fires at night in the central fireplace and kayaked on the lake. You can tell by the furniture and photos on the walls that this home has a long family history and is loved and well cared for. Checked all the boxes for us!

This is a wonderful place with every amenity and access to beauty imaginable. The owners clearly love their home and graciously share their warm hospitality. However. The directions sent us on a needless, wild goose chase costing a total of three wasted travel hours. I would love to be contacted to discuss. There was no reason for this. The house is very easy to find, but the map and directions are completely wrong and the appointed person to help with directions was unable to do this. We learned that this problem is a recurring one, frustrating other guests, and it should have been fixed when it was first discovered. My guests arrived two hours after they had planned - sent wrong ways and then waiting for guidance while the caretaker tried to imagine how to redirect them, and I had a similar experience, losing one hour of vacation myself. My guests delayed dinner from a targeted seven pm to delayed nine and were understandably unhappy to wait so long. This was frustrating and completely needless for all of us and I was very irritated as a result. Had had a bad day and unleashed my anger when finally put in touch with the lovely owner who must have found me very unpleasant. Also, you list a price that is completly misleading. By the time all fees are added, the advertised price is nearly doubled. Not fair advertising. Both issues reflect very poorly on this rental service and made our trip a less happy one than it could have been.

This yard had it all! Great views, a large kid friendly beach, yard games and a dock for our boat! The screened in porch was a huge bonus on the rainy days for a puzzle and a book. They had laundry and everything you could need to cook and clean up which is great. There were a few downsides- 1. There is no cell service so keeping in touch with our boaters was impossible 2. The house had some moldy/musty smell to it that made many of our allergies act up 3. I could feel the springs in the beds they were so uncomfortable. Need to be replaced for sure 4. Wish there was a fire pit
