Wonderful home, amazing views, relaxing sandy beach, water was great for swimming!

We had a fantastic week at this rental. The house was immaculate, and we had everything we needed from the minute we arrived. The sandy beach was perfect for our three year old to play and swim and the dock was great for fishing. The kayaks and canoe are great to have and we took them out daily! The large deck was the perfect place to relax and has great views of the lake. Tom is great to work with and we hope to be back again next year!

Great Lakeside Location!

This was our second visit to this property, and we want to make it an annual vacation. The large sandy beach was perfect for swimming! We had so much room to just relax and have fun. This is a perfect location to be able to do so much, or just relax together in a beautiful spot! Tom made everything so easy, and he was so helpful with any questions. This was just a great experience for me, and for my family.

Great camp for a family vacation

We loved the beautiful private beach and having campfires every night. The camp has an open concept that was great for spending time in the camp. We prepared all of our meals at the camp and the kitchen included everything we needed. Thanks to the Bush family for everything!!

Excellent On Lake Location, Great Family Vacation

We have now returned 7 times to this great vacation destination and it seems that every year gets better. The Cottage is located right on the water with a private beach and access to kayaks and canoe. The view over Highland lake is breathtaking with little boat traffic. The cottage is spacious with more than enough room for our family of six. Everything you need is on hand and in excellent condition. The weather was perfect with daytime temperatures in the low 80's with nights cooling into the high 50's. All in all, a perfect vacation which we look forward to repeat every year. Highly recommend!!!

Wonderful time with friends!

The property was very nice, it was the perfect place for a multi-family vacation. The big, sandy beach was a huge hit with the kids. We swam, kayaked, canoed, etc all day long and even walked in to town a couple times. There was plenty of space inside and out. The small pool table helped keep people occupied on a rainy day. Overall, it was a wonderful week. As soon as we got on the road all the kids were asking when we can come back!

Beautiful Autumn Weekend!!

We have stayed at this location for 6 summers and wanted to spend some quiet time over Columbus Day Weekend to enjoy the scenery and the foliage. Tom Bush was very helpful in setting up the 3 night rental. As ALWAYS the house was in excellent, clean condition with everything that we needed on hand. The view this time of year is breathtaking and the lake traffic is almost nonexistent allowing us to take trips across the lake on the kayaks. We were fortunate to find this GEM in Maine 6 years ago and plan for many returns in the future. 5 star Rental!!

Great house for a family get away

We keep coming back. This is a great house for a family get away. It's very nice inside and the deck, dock and beach are wonderful. Want to take a walk? it's convenient to town. If you like the Maine lakes, this is a very good choice.

Peaceful and Relaxing

We rented this beautiful lakefront cottage for a week's stay in August. We found the location to be perfect, secluded and private with excellent views of the lake and of the White Mountains. Access to the private beach was great, and we enjoyed nightly fires with s'mores. The private dock offered great views for morning coffee and afternoon sunshine. We had visits from a few loons each day which was a delight. We found the house to be spacious for our family (3) and it was very clean and well kept. Nice large deck overlooking the lake and a charcoal grill provided for some good dinners. The Bush family owns the adjacent houses/cottages so it was always quiet and relaxing. Overall, we loved this experience and would recommend it to anyone looking for a nice, peaceful and relaxing week on a lovely Maine lake.

Beautiful scenic property perfect for family!!

This was our fourth summer renting this beautiful property for a week. It's a time when our famply of six get together and spend a relaxing week on Highland lake. The house is spacious and sleeps six adults comfortably. It has a fully furnished kitchen with new appliances. The view from the master bedroom is breathtaking with large windows looking out on the lake. The house comes with games, books and a pool table. Kayaks and a canoe are also included in the rental. Love spending the early morning kayaking on the lake with little boat traffic. The house is minutes away from downtown Bridgton with many places to eat and stores to visit. We look forward to our weekly vacation in Maine and Tom and his family go out of their way to make this house feel like a second home. We have also spent weekends in the fall enjoying the foliage and peaceful lake. We look forward to spending many future summer vacations on this lovely property.

The definition of relaxation!

Our busy family of four was in need of an extended weekend of downtime and the only thing on the agenda was to relax. That's exactly what we did! The cottage was clean, the set up provided privacy from our two boys and the private beach and dock along with the kayaks and canoe provided entertainment for everyone in the family. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything you may need to cook with. We took advantage of the option to have sheets and towels supplied for us- well worth it plus beach towels were available. My only complaint- it's booked for the entire summer and we would have loved to return for a longer stay! Looking forward to returning another time. Tom was great to work with, detail oriented, prompt and so accommodating. We can't thank the Bush family enough for sharing their hidden gem with us.

Second year in a row!

This place is really everything I could ask/want in my Maine lakehouse getaway. Kayaks, canoe, private beach with a fire pit. Open concept kitchen/living room. A library of books to choose from. Comfortable beds. Quiet, clean, beautiful, We absolutley loved our stay, second year in a row! I highly recommend, close enough where you can walk downtown but fully equipped kitchen if you want to cook in. Walking trails withing walking distance, beautiful lake.

We had a wonderful time!

My family of 5 spent a week here in June and we all had a wonderful time. We specifically booked the cottage because of the area – we’ve visited Bridgton a few times before and we like to meet up with family during the week. This is the best place we’ve ever rented. My husband and I have 3 children ages 5, 4, and 20 months and this place was perfect due to the lovely wrap around deck (that kept the littlest one from wandering off), spacious kitchen/living area, and great private beach equipped with kayaks, a canoe and Adirondack chairs. The water was so clear, shallow and gentle – all 3 kids had a wonderful time splashing and playing in the water. In addition, mommy had a few moments alone drinking her coffee on the private dock (as daddy watched the little ones). In short, you can’t beat the location (right on the water), the convenience (local shops, grocery stores, movie-cinema for rainy days – all just seconds down the road), and the experience (fun AND quiet moments). Thanks to Tom, for the ease of booking and the helpful information about the area. We’ll be back!

Great Weekend!

As a renter with a dog, boat and a blended family, it isn't always easy to find accomodations. The owners were wonderful and very easy to work with! This house had everything we needed and more. There was plenty of room in the living area which allowed everyone to relax and enjoy the pool table. There was plenty of room in the kitchen with the new wrap around counter which gave me plenty of room to cook for and feed everyone! The view of the lake was in every room of the house, even as you walked out the bedroom with the twin beds! The weather wasn't the greatest but we did have some sun and were able to enjoy the lake every day! The dock extends out to the lake with two chairs to sit, relax and enjoy the view. I was happy to have found this house to rent for my family!!

Fantastic

As someone who has grown up going to the Adams lake cottage my entire 27 years which recently was sold! I was heartbroken but knew I wanted to continue bringing my family of 7 every year! My husband and I are foster parents and at that time had four kids two of our own and two foster kids to bring on vacation! It's really hard finding vacation houses to rent to us with so many children and being young ourselves! The second we contacted the owners we knew that this was the place for us! We are familiar with Bridgton and love it there! I was also weary about maybe being bothered as the owners live there BUT that was not the case at all they were extremely kind and helpful! As soon as we got there I remember walking in and yelling to my husband that it was huge!!! It fit us all with our dog and still had plenty of room to breathe! I told the owners that the pictures did not do it justice! We go early in the summer Father's Day week and it was so quiet! Some larger boats go on the lake but don't come close to the beach area and even make fun "waves" for my kids! I could honestly write forever on this place we didn't want to leave! There was also a xbox there for my kids to play and free wifi which we used of course! After spending every summer on Bridgton I can say that as fearful as we were to not be comfortable like I have been at Adams this house changed that the very first night! It's seriously a home away from home for us! I loved the fully stocked kitchen and for the first time on vacation we cooked almost the whole week! Which was a upside money wise! We, plus the kids want this to be our vacation house every year and look forward to it! Counting the days now lol The kayaks and canoes were a great addition to have that week and the owners were gracious enogh to let us borrow theirs because of the kids! We cannot wait to return this year The Turini family!

Beautiful Lake House

We will definately be back to this beautiful lake house. Wrap around deck, with amazing views of the mountains and lake. Close enough to town if you should need anything, The House had a pretty well stocked kitchen as we did all of our cooking there. The pictures don't do it justice. The owner's live next door and let us know they were there if we needed them which was nice but didn't bug as at all. We canoed and kayaked, had a fire in the pit on the beach. I can't say enough positive things about this place!
