Nice quiet lake. Perfect for our needs.

Peter and Lisa were the best hosts! Had the fire roaring in the wood stove at check in when it was chilly and raining. Quintessential Maine cottage on a crystal clear lake! Hiked woodman trail, kayaked, enjoyed beautiful sunsets! Played golf at bethel country club and mini golf! Lots of lake floating and laughs! Rented the guest house which was amazing for my son and daughter-in-law! Lots of memories made at this wonderful cottage compound! Highly recommend!

My two week stay at Sunset Lodge was perfect in every way. The house was beautiful, well appointed and very comfortable. I felt right at home from the moment I arrived. The camp is authentically Maine, beautifully decorated, but with plenty of modern amenities. I stayed for two weeks with my dogs who thoroughly enjoyed the spacious yard - plenty of room to play outdoors - and easy access to the lake from the dock or from the shoreline. Howard Pond is crystal clear and perfect for swimming. And the sunsets do not disappoint! Even on the cloudy days the views are amazing. We enjoyed use of the kayaks and Lisa had many chairs available for lounging and sunning in the yard and on the dock. My parents joined me for a few days as well and felt right at home staying in the smaller guest camp which was absolutely beautiful and just perfect for the two of them. From the very beginning Lisa was in touch with me and very responsive. From booking to check in to check out, it was all very simple. While at Sunset Lodge, Lisa was very responsive to any queries and there was plenty of information in the guest Guide Book. I greatly appreciated the wood stove on cold evenings (we had a few!) and the washer/dryer was great to have on hand. We even indulged in a few movies on the rainy days. The house is perfect for one or a bigger family with plenty of activities on the lake or in the surrounding areas. Peter and Lisa are gracious hosts and I look forward to returning to Sunset Lodge again soon!

Our family vacation at Sunset Lodge was by far the best 2 weeks of our entire summer. The lodge was EVERYTHING that our family was looking for in a vacation. We spend endless hours on the pond; swimming, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding! Our boys loved all the old movies, loads of books, and games that the house offered. They were entertained from sun up til they passed out in the kids loft shortly after sundown! We also took advantage of the guest house and it worked out perfect for my sisters family to join us but also have their own place to retreat to when the little kids needed naps or a break from the fun. And no one enjoyed it more than our dog cruz! He hiked, swam, chased the fish and paddle boarded with the kids. And when he needed a break he perched up on the sun deck overlooking the lake so he could still watch his boys! Lisa was a wonderful host and available if we needed anything, both throughout the whole planning process and vacation. Words cant even describe how absolutely beautiful and peaceful this location is! We cant wait to start planning next summer's vacation already!

This was our first stay at Sunset Lodge and we were very impressed with all of the thoughtful touches by the owners that really made us feel welcome. Be sure to check out the Welcome binder with all kinds of detailed info on local activities. This was not our first time visiting the area and yet we were not aware of the amazing swimming holes, hikes and bike rides nearby, all detailed in the Welcome binder. We found that very helpful. We rented the guest cottage for our stay as well and it was perfect for friends coming to visit, and when friends weren't visiting, we used it as an office for work zoom calls where we needed some quiet and privacy. This was a perfect set up for the working vacation. Plenty of fans on hand to keep the air moving on those hot days. We enjoyed having a fire in the wood stove on the cold nights. Beds are comfortable. Kitchen has everything you would need. We'd love to come back!

The property was beautiful and so well maintained. The kitchen had everything you could possibly need. The home was very clean and accommodated my large family. The views are gorgeous from the two porches. Love, love love!

Perfect in every aspect. We had a wonderful early fall stay. The property is beautiful and very private. We especially enjoyed the amazing sunsets right on the private dock. The guest cottage is perfect for a bit of privacy when needed, if you have a large group. Lisa was very responsive to any questions I had and check in/out was a breeze! Can’t wait to stay again!

We had a great stay at "Sunset Lodge." The sunsets are truly magnificent, as are the stars afterwards- we brought our son's telescope along :) The space is amazing and huge; it allowed us to spend time with family we haven't seen in months. Peter and Lisa are gracious hosts. They responded to our questions and concerns promptly and conscientiously. It's clear they take a lot of pride in their camp, and they are simply delightful. We loved that it had the rustic feel of a traditional Maine camp, but was appointed with modern conveniences (full kitchen, wi-fi, tv, etc.). And the pond is absolutely pristine. We would absolutely return!
