Lake Life

Wonderful family time was had at this little oasis on the lake! Lots of laughter, games, and visiting on the spacious screened-in porch. The loons provide lovely evening serenades. Thank you, hope to see you again next year!

Lakeside Paradise

We loved this house by the lake. We heard loons almost every night and some mornings. The house is just as described. The screened in porch was lovely and my husband enjoyed fishing off the dock. The lake is deep. I couldn’t stand at the end of the dock. Great swimming and boating. Only negative is the lack of activities nearby. Fine for us but my teenage girls would have enjoyed a couple of outings. A+

Relaxing week

We had a wonderful relaxing week at “Good Grief”. The property had everything we need and was very clean. The house is right on a beautiful lake, great for kayaking or sitting on a tube.

Amazing Place!

Beautiful, quiet place on Great Moose Lake, a paradise. A family home with a long history; you really feel like you are a guest in someone’s home, and that that home is warm and welcoming. No issues at all with Wi-Fi or streaming platforms. Wonderful collection of vintage VHS tapes. Barely any extraneous noise at all. I recommend it without equivocation as a vacation place and retreat. Will definitely come back! Just one thing: GPS is wrong at one point. When you make a left on Pond Rd., it briefly turns into Chickadee and the numbers change. Keep going! It turns BACK into Pond Rd., and you will find the place if you go a bit further.

Quintessential Maine

I have such fond memories of staying "at camp" as a boy, and this cabin checked all those boxes. (except this cabin DOES have indoor plumbing) Check in was seamless, and Patricia responded to any questions immediately. Upon arrival we were greeted by a pair of loons swimming by the property! This IS camp living, so a little rustic. but everything we needed was there for us, and everything was comfortable and welcoming. I highly recommend this place, and Patricia.

Beautiful sunrises on the lake!

Our family had a relaxing week stay at "Good Grief" We had decent fishing from the dock and the kayaks. We also took the kayaks out past the point in the evening and saw an amazing sunset. The one minor issue was I left messages for Patricia after the trash was not taken on the day it was supposed to be and did not get a response. I was surprised by this because she did call and check on us the first day we were there.

Great anniversary getaway

We booked this rental for our 3rd anniversary trip. We wanted to experience Maine cuisine but not be in the hustle and bustle of the bigger cities. Our stay was great and we loved admiring the decor in the place! Kayaks and canoe made for a great day on the beautiful lake, and the view couldn't be beat. Hopefully we can stay again some day! It is worth noting, GPS may not take you directly to the cabin. If it says you have arrived and you haven't, keep going. The cabin is a long commute down the dirt road (3-4miles? I cannot recall), but it is worth it!

Beautiful camp

This camp is the most pleasant and well-equipped we have experienced in many summers in Maine. Swimming from the dock was great. Especially appreciated the well-equipped kitchen, kayaks, and screened porch. The lake is lovely...you are lulled to sleep by the singing of the loons. Outstanding stay!

Great place, in the middle of no where.

Great Scenery. Right on the lake and in the middle of the woods. Your definitely in the middle of the woods though. Found a rat that crawled up into the toilet and a really big spider! It's just nature. This cabin sits back off a non gps'd road. Continue down the street and then go further. If you think you have gone far enough, keep going.. I would definitely attend a again. Also, only bar around is "the M room". Great place.

Lovely peace and quiet on the lake

We were looking for a quiet location on some water and we found it. The house has everything you need and the location with the forest and the lake was just what we had in mind. Host was very responsive and all was prepared very nicely. Wonderful stay!!

The Perfect Getaway Cabin

Patricia’s cabin was the perfect getaway for my boyfriend and me! We had such a relaxing time sitting on the dock, swimming, having campfires, and eating our meals on the beautiful screened-in porch. Patricia was SUPER responsive and a kind and gracious host. We hope to be back in the future!
