Fabulous family beach vacation

Wonderful location for family of 7 adults and 2 children with accessible beach and lake. The water is shallow enough for toddlers to play and pleasant for adults to swim and kayak. The house was clean and functional for a large group and the large dining room table was ideal for dinners and games. We would be happy to stay again.

Relaxing Vacation

We vacation in the Harrison, Maine area every year to spend time with our family in the area. Upon arrival, Dina let us know the dishwasher was not working and would be repaired in less than 48 hours (Monday morning). Her husband installed a brand new dishwasher on Monday! Dina fully communicated with us, addressed a few issues we had initially so we were comfortable the entire two weeks we stayed. The house is well stocked with towels, sheets, kitchen appliances, etc. The beach is perfect for building sandcastles and relaxing in the afternoon sun. Note, the lake entry is shallow for quite a ways and there is some noise from passing cars/trucks. The street noise was not noticeable inside and not objectionable while enjoying the lake. Thanks for a great couple of weeks!

What a great family vacation!

We had perfect sleeping and playing spaces for 6 adults and 3 kiddos. Plenty of parking, a beautiful beach, clear water— everything we could ask for. There was a big dining table for us all to eat together inside, and a picnic table outside. Big grassy area for lawn games (we brought). For those of those with littles— the water is shallow, so perfect for non-swimmers. Communication with the owner was top-notch. Thanks for the stay! Hope to return next year!

Amazing stay

We just returned from a wonderful week at this beautiful lake house. The listing was incredibly accurate, and the private beachfront access was better than described. It was perfect for our family which had a lot of children and little fisherman who enjoyed fishing off the dock and the nearby river. The house was absolutely huge and provided a lot of opportunity to spread out, but also had a large enough dining room and screened in porch area to be together.

Awesome property, great place besides 2 thongs

My friends and I loved the house, comfortable furniture and beds, grill had propane, and kitchen was stocked so we had the ability to cook. My only issues were we didn't have linens for all the beds. We also were given the wrong door code and were stuck out in the rain on check in, with many attempts made to make contact. Owners eventually made contact a little to laye but we already got in at that time.

Welcome to the Secret Garden

Someone had a vibrant garden about fifty years ago, and you get to enjoy the nostalgia 😁 The grounds are lovely from the private beach (with shallow water, perfect for little ones), to the outdoor dining with beautiful trees and plants. The house couldn’t be more comfortable!! Okay, perhaps a live-in cook is the only thing missing!😂 So thankful our large family was able to enjoy this beautiful vacation home!

Covers all the bases

This large lake house comfortably accommodated our family. The outdoor space was a nice grassy lawn leading down to the private sandy beach. Great for toddlers who could go in the shallow water. Firepits each night were fun for all. This is our favorite place to stay for our annual lakeside family vacation.

Crystal Lake Perfection!

Incredible house in an amazing location! The lake house has everything you need-great family spaces, a well designed and stocked kitchen and very comfortable beds. We thoroughly enjoyed the quiet beauty of Crystal Lake. The expansive beach and shallow entry into the lake were perfect for our family, including our toddler granddaughter who is just beginning to swim. It was a perfect spot to spend the day swimming, kayaking and nature watching as loons, herons and ducks paraded by. Glimpses of the Milky Way and beautiful night skies were an unexpected treat for the night owls in our group. Dina is a gracious host who made checking in and out a breeze. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful lake home with us, Dina! We can’t wait to come back!

Great stay at Harrison Maine lake house

We stayed at this cozy Harrison Maine lake house with our family members. There were 6 adults and 1 child. There were plenty of spacious bedrooms and beds. We really enjoyed sitting in the chairs on the sand and looking at the beautiful view of the lake. We also loved using the spacious hot tub. I highly recommend renting this home!

Lovely spot on Crystal Lake

Wife and I came for five nights to do some autumn hiking. Dina’s property was perfectly located in Harrison, with just a short drive to both Bridgton and Norway. Property is clean, well equipped, and offers prime views on the lake. Would highly recommend

Amazing property.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay on Crystal Lake. The home is very well maintained and on an absolutely gorgeous piece of property. The sandy beach is large and there is so much room to roam around and enjoy the outdoors. Our dog was in heaven. More practically, the beds were comfortable and many details were attended to. The owner was very responsive when we had questions and I would absolutely recommend this home to others.

So much fun on the lake

The property on Crystal Lake was phenomenal. The house accommodated all of us very comfortably. The grandkids all enjoyed the beach and the lake, and had great fun in the hot tub. We rented kayaks, and everyone took a turn on the water. One of my sons said it was the best of the vacation homes we've rented over the years, and he was absolutely right. Everyone has a great time!

Family Reunion on the Lake

What an amazing house and property. Large enough to comfortably house a multigenerational family reunion. Beautiful big kitchen, where we prepared every meal. Everyone felt comfortable, we were not on top of each other. We played many games on the expansive lawn. The sandy beach was great for the little ones. We rented kayaks and paddleboards from Lake Region Paddle and they were delivered right to the lake, it was very convenient. Dina was very accommodating and easy to work with. We had a vacation of a lifetime!

Woman’s Weekend 15th year!

8 of us have been doing a yearly get together, for the past 15 years. We have stayed at many homes over the years. The home was very clean and cozy! The home was in great shape… things that always bug me is remotes that don’t work, or lack of batteries, things that are broken so you can only half use them, or appliances that are difficult to use especially entertainment equipment. None of this was an issue. This home is well cared for and the cleaning crew assures that it is in tip top shape for the next guests. The owner is responsive and follows thru. The beach area is quiet and beautiful. The location gives you several different directions to go in. Don’t worry about having to go grocery shopping ahead the grocery store is nearby. Will definitely come back.

Wonderful Family Trip

This property was all that you could ask for and Dina, the owner, was extremely responsive and helpful before and during our stay. We stayed at the house with a couple families with young children, who enjoyed the yard as well as the lake time, as well as the bedrooms and nooks and crannies that they found in the crawl spaces (a ten year old girls dream for a hiding spot!). The kitchen was full of what we needed to cook and the bedrooms and other living spaces were comfortable (wonderful mattresses!!). The shallowness of the lake is perfect for our young children and we hope to come back again!

Great for large families

This house had a nice private beach front. The back yard was spacious and water was super clear. You will need to rent paddle boards, kayaks etc., it's worth contacting a local marina ahead of time. We rented a Pontoon boat and kayaks from Gateway marina, who was excellent to deal with. The lake is great for Kayaking. The house, has all updated appliances, Great modern Kitchen and is child friendly. Bed were very comfortable. Communication with the host, Dina was prompt. Which we greatly appreciated. The lake is less than 3.5-feet deep for more than 75-feet. The bottom is sand, squishy in areas. The dock at the house is shallow but fine for boats and experienced operator. There was not excessive weekend boat traffic on the lake, it didn't feel crowded. We were able to see ducks, loons, and beaver. Overall a great vacation for us.
