Wonderful week.

The house was very clean and accommodating, and Dave and Sandy were accessible for anything we needed. We were one adult couple with two dogs and a brother who visited for a few days. All went well. The only suggestion I have is this, and it's certainly not crucial (nor, I realize, is it a tiny investment): In a previous house we stayed at, there was a roll-out awning over part of the deck, like a "Sunsetter", and in wet weather it allowed us to still enjoy the deck and the views without sitting in the rain. Something like that would make this place perfect - still, it was darn close to perfect as is. We'll certainly consider it for future stays. Thank you, Dave and Sandy.

Perfect family vacation getaway

Three generations stayed for a week (my mother, my 2 yo son, and myself) and it was perfect. The sandy beach and shallow entry into the water kept my son happy every day. The lake is quiet despite some motorized boats and we listened to the loons every night. The cabin is as pictured, clean and cozy. Communication with Dave was excellent, he was very quick to respond and generous with his time and help - he even brought us fresh picked tomatoes from his garden! We couldn’t be happier and hope to come back again!

Annabessacook Getaway

We loved staying here. Dave and Sandy were very responsive to our needs. The view is amazing and the deck is perfect for hanging out while our granddaughter napped. Having a grill worked well when we invited our extended family for a barbecue. The lake is beautiful, complete with 7 lovely loons that would sing us to sleep! Lot's of song birds on and near the property and the water toys...kayaks, canoe, floatables for the kids along with life jackets were a real plus! The location was perfect for visiting with nearby Winthrop family. The moulding around the bathroom door was loose and caused some minor issues but I am sure that will be fixed in time for our next visit! Overall...a perfect vacation spot!

Lovely lake and great porch

We enjoyed our lake stay. The bed was very comfortable. They have a great deck overlooking the water. We also used the fire pit for somemores. There is an interesting island a canoe or kayak paddle away that has 1 mile plus walking paths. The kitchen is not large, but seems recently updated and was easy to use. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Maine Lake House

This beautiful piece of property was perfect for us! The owner checked in on us and made sure everything was to our liking. Our two labs loved the water and so did we! We were able to use all the amenities including kitchen appliances and grille and that was very helpful. Internet and tv were also nice to have while on vacation. Overall our experience was amazing and we will be back.

Relaxing Stay

We had a very nice week of sitting on the deck, swimming and kayaking in the water right in front of us, watching loons, bald eagles and osprey, and hiking nearby Mt. Pisgah. The lake was remarkably quiet and peaceful. The home was clean and inviting with a nice view down to the lake. We had fires in the fire pit by the water. The owner came by a few times to e sure we had everything we needed. All in all a really nice week!

We had a very nice lake vacation here during July! Right on the lake, with a great view from the deck! Queen size bed was so comfortable! Loved being able to use the kayaks. Found a loon's nest with her egg in it and we were visited by a bald eagle each evening! Our owner/manager was extremely helpful with everything!!

Cottage in the woods on lake front property.

Enjoyed our stay at the cottage on the lake. The town of Winthrop Maine is a very small town, it is located approx an hour to Portland and 90 minutes to Bar Harbor which made this cottage a nice central area to visit the coastal area if Maine. We travelled with our fur babies ( mini golden doodles) they enjoyed the trip just as much as we did. Maine has many pet friendly restaurants and we took our boys to dinner each night and enjoyed lobster dinners. The owner of the property was kind and he met us on arrival and gave us a quick tour of the cottage. We enjoyed the serinity of the deck and the lake view.
