This property exceeded all of my expectations. The house was spacious, well equipped, clean, private, and serene. We spent our days floating on the water, kayaking, grilling outside, and enjoying the wildlife. This property is perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking for a beautiful secluded hideaway. The surrounding town was quaint and charming. The owner was easy to contact and very friendly. I would 1000x book this property again. 6 adults stayed here on our trip and we all had plenty of space, and a fantastic time. Truly a great stay.

Great Rangeley trip!

The place was very well laid out for family with bedrooms seprated by large kitchen area (with great views of the pond and mountain) from great entertainment room. All the chairs recline! Pond was great for kids to beat the 90 degree heat, but not the best for adult swimming. Great location handy to Oquossoc, yet just outside town. Love the weird taxidermy!

The camp was as advertised-spacious-close to water-canoes and kayaks were perfect for enjoying the pond. Many hikes, good food, lots of games, bowling, and campfires; saw loons, ducks, otters, heron, and an eagle!!! Long road in but camp is peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable. Not a good swimming pond. Unfortunately the oven and dishwasher were not working-but we made do. Melanie was great to deal with and very responsive.

Perfect family house on a pond

This house was perfect for my relaxing family vacation, we went kayaking, and relaxed outside for most of the day in the warm sun and at night had a camp fire with smores. The inside of the house was spacious and fit all 6 comfortably.

Peace and quiet on the pond!

A very quiet and pleasant location. Very comfortable camp, nice beds, well stocked kitchen, nice new appliances. It is right on the water which we loved. We also loved that the pond is motor boat free so all we heard were the loons. Great camp and will definitely be going back again.

Quaint spot for a family getaway!

We only had a short time there, but all and all it was relaxing. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm on our one full day there, but we made the best of it! Plenty of space inside for our large family even on a rainy day. Plenty of canoes/kayaks for our family to all enjoy! The owners are very helpful and kind!

Excellent home and location!

Can't say enough positive things about both the cabin and the secluded location. VERY well stocked, lovely kitchen, views galore, lots of comfy furniture and beds, and great canoes and kayaks. The area is lovely - Rangeley is less than 10 minutes away - and so many hikes, ATV's and swimming holes and adventures to be had..can't recommend it enough - for dogs and kids alike!! Many thanks!!

Great Place for a Maine Getaway!

The property is well equipped for a fun family stay. Plenty of bedrooms. A very comfortable living room that is well stocked with books, even for kids, and a good video library. The canoes and kayaks were great to explore the pond. It was fun finding the ducks, frogs and dragonfly's while paddling around the pond. The kitchen was well equipped, and the commercial grade stove made preparing food easy. I would definitely return again. Thanks to the host Melanie for helping make great family memories.

The cabin was perfect

Everything you could want was right there. We loved going out on the canoe everyday. We sat for hours just watching the two families of ducks. The views were spectacular. We loved listening to the loons every night. It was a relaxing breath of fresh air vacation. The host was terrific and the people in town were great. I actually cried when we had to leave.

The camp is spacious with an exceptional floor plan. The kitchen and dining area is awesome with a well designed and applianced kitchen and a beautiful view of the pond. The bedrooms were ample with modern beds and very good lighting. Two full baths were updated, clean and enjoyable. A separate spacious area for relaxing had abundant and comfortable seating along with a well equiped and porportioned entertainment center making this camp quite unique.

Excellent stay

This is a fantastic rental. The space was large and clean and had everything we were looking for inside, including a very nice kitchen and common areas. There is a big picture window that looks right out onto the pond - which is actually quite large. There is a nice grassy area to sit outside in front of the pond. We enjoyed taking the canoes and kayaks out, and we enjoyed the fire pit. The location was a short drive to town and Rangeley lake. We would definitely come back.
