This was a lovely cabin at the end of a dead end road with frontage on a quiet pond. We paddled or hiked nearby every day and enjoyed our own home-cooked meals every night.
Great stay! Property has everything you need. Views are wonderful! Very relaxing & private (at the end of the road). Close to Rangeley so you can enjoy restaurants & a seaplane ride!
This house was perfect for my relaxing family vacation, we went kayaking, and relaxed outside for most of the day in the warm sun and at night had a camp fire with smores. The inside of the house was spacious and fit all 6 comfortably.
The place was very well laid out for family with bedrooms seprated by large kitchen area (with great views of the pond and mountain) from great entertainment room. All the chairs recline! Pond was great for kids to beat the 90 degree heat, but not the best for adult swimming. Great location handy to Oquossoc, yet just outside town. Love the weird taxidermy!
A very quiet and pleasant location. Very comfortable camp, nice beds, well stocked kitchen, nice new appliances. It is right on the water which we loved. We also loved that the pond is motor boat free so all we heard were the loons. Great camp and will definitely be going back again.
Communication with Melanie was prompt and very accommodating, even new bedroom window coverings. Quiet, beautiful spot on the water. Clean, comfortable cabin. Impressive animal mounts, all from the owners. Would highly recommend it. Hope to return again sometime.
The property is well equipped for a fun family stay. Plenty of bedrooms. A very comfortable living room that is well stocked with books, even for kids, and a good video library.
The canoes and kayaks were great to explore the pond. It was fun finding the ducks, frogs and dragonfly's while paddling around the pond.
The kitchen was well equipped, and the commercial grade stove made preparing food easy.
I would definitely return again.
Thanks to the host Melanie for helping make great family memories.
This is a fantastic rental. The space was large and clean and had everything we were looking for inside, including a very nice kitchen and common areas. There is a big picture window that looks right out onto the pond - which is actually quite large. There is a nice grassy area to sit outside in front of the pond. We enjoyed taking the canoes and kayaks out, and we enjoyed the fire pit. The location was a short drive to town and Rangeley lake. We would definitely come back.
The camp is spacious with an exceptional floor plan. The kitchen and dining area is awesome with a well designed and applianced kitchen and a beautiful view of the pond. The bedrooms were ample with modern beds and very good lighting. Two full baths were updated, clean and enjoyable. A separate spacious area for relaxing had abundant and comfortable seating along with a well equiped and porportioned entertainment center making this camp quite unique. Overall, we really liked what this camp had to offer.
I really enjoyed staying here. The house was very clean and the kitchen in particular was really wonderful. Cooking at the stove with a view of the water was amazing! The water isn’t super great for swimming and because it is so shallow we saw a couple leeches but one of my friends did go swimming though and enjoyed it! Several of us kayaked and it was really great for kayaking. There were 7 of us total and it fit us all very comfortably. There’s also excellent opportunity for seeing a lot of wildlife. We saw a bald eagle swim in the water and catch a fish which was so cool! The property is secluded and very private, but not far from town. It’s also pretty close to Rangeley Lake State Park and we spent an afternoon there - it is stunning there and the water is perfect. I definitely recommend staying here.
The camp offered everything we were looking for. Plenty of sleeping space, two bathrooms, and kitchen was fully stocked. Easy access to the water and wonderful views.Check-in was easy and host answered all of our questions in a timely fashion!
This property exceeded all of my expectations. The house was spacious, well equipped, clean, private, and serene. We spent our days floating on the water, kayaking, grilling outside, and enjoying the wildlife. This property is perfect for families, friends, and anyone looking for a beautiful secluded hideaway. The surrounding town was quaint and charming. The owner was easy to contact and very friendly. I would 1000x book this property again. 6 adults stayed here on our trip and we all had plenty of space, and a fantastic time. Truly a great stay.
We only had a short time there, but all and all it was relaxing. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm on our one full day there, but we made the best of it! Plenty of space inside for our large family even on a rainy day. Plenty of canoes/kayaks for our family to all enjoy! The owners are very helpful and kind!
Can't say enough positive things about both the cabin and the secluded location. VERY well stocked, lovely kitchen, views galore, lots of comfy furniture and beds, and great canoes and kayaks. The area is lovely - Rangeley is less than 10 minutes away - and so many hikes, ATV's and swimming holes and adventures to be had..can't recommend it enough - for dogs and kids alike!! Many thanks!!
The camp was as advertised-spacious-close to water-canoes and kayaks were perfect for enjoying the pond. Many hikes, good food, lots of games, bowling, and campfires; saw loons, ducks, otters, heron, and an eagle!!! Long road in but camp is peaceful, quiet, and enjoyable. Not a good swimming pond. Unfortunately the oven and dishwasher were not working-but we made do. Melanie was great to deal with and very responsive.
