Absolutely loved the location. It was more remote than we even thought it would be. Our kids are 13, 11, and 8, and they had the best time exploring the wooded areas around the property, reading on the back porch, relaxing in the hammock, and kayaking on the quiet pond (lake). We had a camp fire one night, too. We came in the Fall, and just walking along the roads in this area right around the house was gorgeous. The kayaks were in great shape and they had plenty of life jackets for us. There was also a sizeable canoe for kids who don't want to paddle for themselves. It was too cold to swim in October, but the water was absolutely crystal clear!
The house was very comfortable. The only thing to note on the layout is that the bathrooms are on the 1st and 2nd floor, whereas there is one bedroom on the 2nd floor and two bedrooms on the 3rd floor. So, 3rd floor guests must be prepared to do stairs: especially in the middle of the night if they need to use the restroom! The heater was small and I was skeptical at first, but it warmed the whole house very comfortably and quickly. There were also plenty of portable fans - so everyone could have one for sleeping: something us Texans are very used to!
We would absolutely stay here again: a little slice of Maine heaven! It was quiet, secluded, cozy, and a great place for our family to make some lasting memories! We miss it already!
