You couldn't get a more ideal location, with incredible views and a comfortable, clean, and well stocked home. The owners are highly responsive and kind. Located right off the golden road with lots of opportunity to see wildlife, close to some great food options (knifes edge brewery), and secluded enough to be incredibly peaceful and restoring. A beautiful long weekend away!
We had such a wonderful time! The weather was rainy but that didn’t damper the activities. There was plenty of room for two families including small children. Lovely lovely camp! We will be back!
This waterfront home is better than you could image. The sunsets from the porch are just magical and something that is going to bring us back. Everything was provided for kayaking, having a fire, cooking a home, family game night. The house is so close to the Baxter state park entrance and the few restaurants in the area. We will definitely be back!
3 adults (husband, wife, and adult daughter). Excellent communication with host. They even checked in with us when we arrived to see if we needed anything and answered questions we had about the area. Lots of info and recommendations about the area provided in the cabin. The view from the bright windows facing the lake was phenomenal (water and boulders, a mountain, loons, bald eagles) but, even more impressive, was the extreme cleanliness of the cabin!!! The washer and dryer were a great feature. Beds were comfortable. All necessities provided including a crock pot we utilized. We didn't feel we needed to wash any dishware before we used it as has sometimes been necessary to assure cleanliness at other rentals we have stayed at. Loved having use of kayaks provided by host (which we have had to rent at other locations). The host even provided orange safety wear (hats, vests, even one for a dog!) since we were there during hunting season. Quick drive from cabin to Baxter S.P. We were fortunate to see a moose 2 days in a row but each time it was just down the hill from the entrance gate to the park so lots of people were huddling around to see it. We never saw moose anywhere else throughout the park or other locations outside the park but it wasn't for lack of trying! Our favorite "looking for moose hike" in Baxter was Elbow Pond to Grassy Pond. It felt like a magical place throughout the forest and the water views. Only regret was stay was too short!
The home is well equipped with all that you’ll need for a comfortable stay. A perfect spot when you want a comfy place to sleep before heading to Katahdin!
Stunning on-lake views of water and mountains. Loon calls added a memorable touch. Very well equipped kitchen and comfortable home. Easy access to Baxter State Park. Quiet neighborhood community. Felt very private, even with homes nearby.
We had the most wonderful time at this home! The amenities were so thoughtfully prepared—from the basket of Turkish towels for our use, to the local jam & coffee, a nicely outfitted kitchen, and beyond. The home was clean and comfortable, and located in a gorgeous and quiet spot on the lake! The view is really stunning, and the local art featured is such a nice touch. We had a very comfortable and peaceful stay, and are looking forward to making it a tradition!
Beautifully renovated and updated 'classic Maine camp on a lake'.Stayed as part of a group of 5 while doing a 2-day gravel-bike trip. Being able to float in the lake after a long day was awesome. Plenty of space for 5 people, 6 would be fine if someone shared the big bed. More would get crowded I think.Kitchen is a joy to use, sharp knives (rare in a STR!), and a good cast-iron skillet (in addition to some new nonstick) was great.Good outdoor hangout spaces at the front and back which was helpful for being in/out of sun and wind.
