Great location

We had a lot of fun here. We were looking for a quiet place without a lot of contact with other people. This was perfect. Quiet days swimming and boating and quiet evenings playing with the kids. We'd love to come back some day.

This is one of our favorite places anywhere. The house was perfect for us. It is so clean and well equipped. We love the lake and really enjoyed the kayaks and fire pit. The water is clear, the fishing successful, the lake is very quiet usually. We have been here before and we will definitely be back.

Wonderful stay!

The house and property were perfect for our stay. We really enjoyed spending time on, in, and by the beautiful lake, making use of the kayaks, fire pit, and space to play outside. On our rainy day, we got cozy with art work and puzzles inside. The house was clean and well stocked, and perfect set up for 2 families (2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom on each floor). We hope to return next year! Many thanks to Peg for this gift of a vacation.

Lakeside Getaway

The property sits directly on Lake Arrowhead in a rural part of Southern Maine. The lake is clean and quite large. It is known as one of Maine’s best bass fishing lakes. Younger folks can have fun fishing, swimming or using the paddle board and 4 kayaks that are included with the rental. The private dock and the swimming area is perfect for young children as it has a gentle slope into the sandy swimming area. If you plan on preparing culinary masterpieces you will find the kitchen lacking but if you’re all about burgers, etc then you will be in good shape. The WiFi is good and the 4 bedrooms make hosting family very workable. Our 4 grandsons spent the entire week in or on the water.

Great!

This house is located on an excellent part of Lake Arrowhead. It has a sandy swimming area which is hard to find on this lake. The yard was big with a fire pit and bbq area. The house was neat & tidy and had everything we needed. We really enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!

We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed our stay. We especially loved the kayaks and paddle board included with the property. Exploring Lake Arrowhead was so much fun. The lake water is clean and the little sandy area was much appreciated by the youngest in our group. Beds were comfortable, fans provided for hot evenings, all of the amenities you need. The house was very tidy upon our arrival, and we were very comfortable. We saw an eagle, pileated woodpeckers, hummingbirds, chipmunks, turtles, a great blue heron and more. The property feels like part of nature and that really won us over. We had such a great time!

Comfortable and serene

There were 7 adults in our party ranging in age from 50-85!!! We found ALL the comforts of home. Peg has forgotten nothing in her effort to make your stay enjoyable, comfortable beds, soft linens and even the bug spray, sunscreen and logs for the fire( which we replaced). It was so peaceful and so quiet by the lake, very few motor boats. The lake has a nice sandy bottom and levels off gradually so it's easy access. The only "minor" problem we had was the stair to the beach/firepit area. It is steep but doable. A railing would help but otherwise this is the perfect little getaway from it all.

Very nice, well maintained house

The house was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The inclusion of a tv and wi-fi were appreciated. The kitchen was short on cooking supplies. There were not enough knives, and cooking utensils. The beds were comfortable and thee were plenty of towels and bedding. Bath rooms were clean and well stocked with towels. We enjoyed the lakeside area with its fire pit, and enjoyed the kyacks. Our only objection to the property was the limited view of the lake, but we appreciate that removal of trees is not allowed.

Loved our stay.

The place was perfect for us. First week we had some friends up and they also loved it. Second week we had our grandkids up and they had a blast. The kayak launch was great for them to get in and out of the water. They are 5 and 2. Fishing was great even though I missed the big one. Yes the steps down to the water are a little steep but it wasn't an issue . Great fire pit. We are looking forward to coming back.

Awesome house with all the details!

I don't want to give away this gem because everyone will want to rent it! They have thought of everything for this rental. Great location on the lake. Great sheets and towels. Nice sized tv, kitchen, eating area. Loved the set up with 2 bedrooms upstairs and downstairs and the beds were very comfortable. Nice slider down cellar to bring our dogs in and out of. The wrap around deck area was perfect to sit on and it was so quiet and peaceful! The area by the water is big and set up perfectly. We loved trying out the paddle board and using the kayaks, even in October. We went fishing every day. Caught most fish at the islands to the South off the dock. Got lunch and dinner at yummy Lakeside Market and a dinner at Woody's was so delicious! We stayed for a long weekend, but would have loved to stay longer.

Relaxing, quiet getaway at a bargain

This was my first experience renting something other than a hotel room. This property is absolutely fabulous! I drove by it when I arrived. I didn't recognize the front of the house and the address is on the mailbox. The house is very spacious - a full bath with tub and 2 bedrooms (1 queen and 2 twin beds) on the main floor and a full bath (shower) and 2 bedrooms (1 queen and 2 twin beds) on the second floor. Plenty of room for us not to get on each other's nerves. The porch/deck goes around one side and the back of the house and provides a beautiful view of the lake. There is a table and chairs on the porch to drink coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening and watch the lake, the sun, the trees. The back of the property slopes (somewhat steeply) down to the lake. There is a fire pit with chairs, a picnic table, and a shed with kayaks, a paddleboard, and life jackets. There is a dock and a small ramp into the lake. Peg and her husband really made me and my family feel comfortable and welcome. There is a coffee maker and plenty of dishes, cookware, and silverware. Minor issues were addressed immediately. There is a notebook with house information (such as where to put trash), clubhouse information (such as hours they are open, pools, games, and fitness equipment available), and information on local attractions. In Maine, nothing is close. The nearest Dunkin is 15 minutes away and grocery is 15-20 minutes away. This property was perfect for me. I have a brother in E. Waterboro. He has lived in Maine for 33 years and was amazed at how quiet this property is. So it was wonderful to be so close to him, be on a gorgeous lake, and enjoy the house as a family rather than staying in separate hotel rooms. To me, this was a fantastic deal, a spectacular property, and my first choice when I return to Maine.
