The house was great, clean, well stocked, roomy and bright. The yard was big, with plenty of space for games and hanging out. Our one disappointment was that photos of the property made it seem like the lake was close to the yard when in fact we had to walk across the street through another yard to get to the dock and our boat.

In love with the Lake life

We loved everything about our stay! House had everything you can think of and the beds were the most comfortable we have ever had at a rental! The hot tub was great to soak in at the end of the day. We used the canoes and kayaks every day, highly suggest a paddle right before sunset! Owners were quick to respond with any questions. Will definitely be back!

Great Girls Get Away

Beautiful place if you have a large group. Many areas to gather from the fire pit to hot tub or a quick pickup game of basketball! It was rainy for us one day and I side we were comfortable with family visiting for the day. Perfect table space for large group dining or game playing! Beds are comfortable there is another sleeping space in the basement we did not use but would be great for even more to join you on your vacation. Kitchen had everything we needed. Good accessibility to the water . Highly recommend.

Great getaway!

Our family had a wonderful time at this property. The house was well stocked. We loved the back yard and thought it had a lovely ambiance. We had multiple lobster boils and loved using the firepit. We used the dock across the street everyday to boat and swim off of. We had 5 people and one child and thought the house was a really comfortable fit for this amount. We did not use the loft or basement bedroom although these might work for a younger adult. Thanks for helping us make this such a fun trip!

Mousam Lake Getaway

I want to start by saying that Erica & Chris were amazing (fantastic communicaiton) & our family had a fabulous week in Maine on Mousam Lake. Positives: house was stocked with everything we needed, living room was a big area for everyone, it even Netflix had a guest account for us to use (thank you). We brought 2 baby gates for our two 1 year olds which worked out great. The backyard is great and Erica supplied corn hole boards to use as well. We enjoyed many nights outside by the fire, and some of our family enjoyed the hot tub as well (said it was fabulous). Giant lobster pot was great! Boat launch was easily accessible and near the property. There’s a little beach for kids down the road that was great for our 1 yr olds to “walk in” to the water. Negatives: the double headed shower on the main floor was different. Our family that stayed upstairs said the rooms were small and that the shower curtain barely fit the shower. We didn’t use the loft area, and our guests who stayed in basement said it was warm due to no AC downstairs (very cool space though). Loved the master bedroom of the kitchen! Couldn’t find the pullout couch in the living room, as advertised which was disappointing with our big group. There are a lot of stairs to get down to both water access areas, which can be challenging for really young or old guests. We wished the (swimming) stairs on the front dock were up front where we swam (vs around the other side of the dock). All in all, we had a great week!

Many pros, a few quirks

Great property for a family lake vacation. We loved the location, easy access to the lake, the kayaks, the large yard, the fire pit, the hot tub. We basically did not leave the property and that was perfect. The downsides are two of the sleeping areas. There are three proper bedrooms that would comfortably sleep 6-7. The sleeping loft is right off the kitchen so unless everyone keeps exactly the same hours, those people are going to be disturbed. Also it requires climbing down a ladder to get to a bathroom. Bigger concern was the basement sleeping area, accessed through an unfinished part of the basement. There was a funky smell and the air quality did not seem good. Bathroom access in the night is tough. The electrical was a little jerry-rigged. We had teenagers sleeping down there and they put up with it, but if you have a larger group, think through who is going to sleep where.

Perfect Vacation Home

We had a great, comfortable, clean, and peaceful stay at Erica’s house! It was a perfect vacation home in that we had everything we needed, were very cozy, and had easy communication with the owners when we had questions. The weather wasn’t great for us to enjoy the area as much as we’d have liked, but the property has amazing access to the lake, although one access point is across the street (the lake wraps around). The only minor issue we had is that the front room, which has great couches, space to play games, and the tv does not have curtains/blinds on the big windows. Given how early is gets dark, there was a good chunk of our visit where we felt a little exposed to neighbors, but since we mostly laid on the couches/sat around playing games, it didn’t matter too much. We would definitely come back in the summer and enjoy all the property has to offer!

Great spot

Property was very nice & clean, well appointed with details for travelers. Was surprised to find that one bedroom was an open loft of the kitchen and another in the basement without bathroom or A/C. We enjoyed the hot tub, the kayaks and canoes (which included life preservers in all sizes), and the fire pit.

Summer Vacation

Our experience was wonderful. The house was well kept and had many amenities. There was a small problem with the hot tub and the owners were very prompt in fixing it and getting it taken care of. There were twelve of us and the house had more than enough room to accommodate that many people. Would stay there again.

Great Maine house with all the amenities!

From day one Erica was friendly and accommodating. I had to change our dates and she generously helped make it possible. The house is so nice and comfortable, including the beds and strong A/C in every room. Hot tub is the fanciest we’ve ever been in! LOVED it! Downstairs bedroom is perfect for a teenager who doesn’t mind walking through the unfinished basement to get to it. Gas grill seems brand new. Picnic house (as we dubbed it) is so, so nice for eating outside without any bugs. We used the canoes & kayaks everyday. Floating dock is great. Overall very happy we rented this house! Thank you!

We had an amazing stay. Our host was very responsive and the house had everything we needed....there were many little extras that exceeded our expectations. The lake was clean and beautiful and our outside amenities were outstanding including the extra touches of kindling to make a fire, accent lighting and plenty of seating. The hot tub was especially relaxing, clean and worked very well. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend that others enjoy this property.

Amazing Maine Vacation

We planned this short mid week vacation for my dads 60th birthday. This was the lake we used to vacation in as kids. As fate would have it, this was the only property available that week. I am so glad we were able to stay here. Erica was incredibly accommodating, quick to respond if we had questions, and the house was absolutely beautiful, and meticulously clean. Adults and kids are like both said it was one of the best vacations we’ve had so far! Thank you Erica for such a wonderful stay, we will be back again next year!

Incredible Lake House

This home has everything you could ever want in a lake house! My family loved the location on the water, in addition to the hot tub, fire pit, hammock, and wonderful screened-inn porch. No detail is over-looked here- from the board games, to toiletries, to paper goods- the home had everything you could think of for a relaxing family get away. We have stayed at other rentals on Mousam Lake and this home was by far the nicest we have ever visited! The hosts were extremely accommodating and responsive- can’t wait to return next summer!

The property was very clean and the perfect size for a large group without feeling too large! The lake and property were perfect. We wish the weather had been a little warmer but with the large yard, hot tub and large family table there was plenty of other things to enjoy! The beds were very comfortable. The dog loved swimming in the lake and it was a great place to stay for her. Would stay again!

Perfect weekend getaway

I stayed here with a group of friends and family for my birthday. They property was clean and exactly as described. The Host went above and beyond making sure we knew what to expect and they were available in the event that we had any issues. The sleeping arrangements were great and everyone slept so good. I wanted to take the bed I slept in home with me as it was that comfortable! I highly recommend staying here and I hope we can get back to this home soon.

Peaceful Family vacation

I loved this house! My favorite part is the dining room table, where all family and friends were able to sit together. This a great spot for families and/or friends to enjoy a vacation. My 3 year old grandson loved the many areas that he had to play inside and out. There were plenty of dishes and cookware. Since this was planned as a getaway to enjoy nature and my family, it was perfect! There are many essentials in the kitchen which is very helpful for those that fly to Maine, such as spices, coffee & coffee filters, plastic ware. Great Maine vacation home!

Modern, spacious house with plenty of activities around

I organized a laid-back bachelor party for my best friend and a small group. This house was the perfect location: very comfortable, modern, and spacious, in a beautiful setting, lots of activities on and around the lake, etc. We thoroughly enjoyed being able to grill, hang out in the hot tub, taking the kayak and canoes out on to the lake, and playing yard games. Thanks a ton to the hosts also for really prompt and considerate communications throughout and for making sure we were comfortable.

This is one of the best lake rentals we have stayed in. The home is beautiful, well equiped, very spacious with two docks to the lake.

Even better than expected!

This property is the perfect space for a large family looking for a fun vacation right on the lake! The neighbors are extremely friendly here (which is not always this case in private lake communities). Everyone we encountered was absolutely lovely and we felt right at home. The lake is beautiful for swimming. Also, we were pleasantly surprised to see more space than expected in the basement room. You can tell the owner has done some great renovations and is likely continuing to build on the space everyday! Host was responsive and took care of everything. Would book again. Thank you so much!

Quiet Getaway

My family really enjoyed the privacy of renting a home. The home and property is clean and comfortable. The owners are very responsive. We liked that the home is a little bit remote and not in a busy lake area, and that stores are still accessible nearby. The neighbors were also friendly giving us some gems of locations to suggest to eat at while there. Ted's Fried Clams was very close. The Shapleigh Corner Store has awesome Pizza and other treats! Breakfast at Mel's Raspberry Patch in Sanford is not too far away and delicious. The closest ocean beach is just a short 35-40 min drive. We were able to enjoy some indoor games on the rainy days and enjoy the lake on the sunny days. The outdoor backyard area is lovely with a hot tub and firepit with pretty lighting. My kids loved jumping off the raft and just floating on the quiet lake in the floaties provided and trying out a paddleboard. Who am I kidding...the adults loved it too!!
