Well decorated and unique place

The house is beautiful, very well decorated and equipped. We had everything that was needed for a long stay. The view of the lake and mountain is stunning. It is very quiet and private. The owner has a passion for art and architecture and it was reflected in a beautiful decor of every single space of the house. Beautiful woodwork on the floor, kitchen counters, nice dish sets, fireplace. We had a very good stay and felt welcome. Highly recommend this place.Thank you.

Immaculate home with beautiful views

We spent a week in this lovely home so that our teenage children could ski Sunday River. Check in was seamless, and we easily found everything we needed to cook meals. The home is super clean and well appointed, with attention to details including rain shower, light dimmers on most switches, and upgraded appliances. We enjoyed the freshness of this home and found it cozy and welcoming. Lake views are stunning, and we enjoyed exploring paths behind the home.

Amazingly Gorgeous Inside and Outside

Our experience at this lakefront home exceeded our expectations, making it the perfect weekend getaway. While we may have arrived just past the peak of the fall foliage, the autumnal colors against the tranquil backdrop of the lake were still breathtaking. The convenience of being close to several hiking trails made our outdoor adventures a delight and the evenings spent by the fire were wonderfully relaxing. This home was by far one of the nicest I have stayed in. The cleanliness and attention to detail were perfect. The kitchen was top of the line and easy to cook family meals or prepare food for a hike or a day out exploring. We loved the fact that the home is centrally and well located so that we could drive to check out the nearby towns and discover the quaint beauty and uniqueness of the area. We also ski and went up in the Fall to try this home out as a potential ski vacation house. With its 15-20 min drive to Sunday River, we can’t wait to plan our next visit for the upcoming season!
