Great place to relax

We enjoyed spending time with friends. Spent a lot of time just sitting around the fire or sitting on the deck. The furniture and beds were all comfortable. Had most everything we needed. We did know to bring our own sheets but didn't remember we also needed to bring towels. So a quick trip to Renys fixed that. Overall, a lovely stay.

Perfect Location, Beautiful Home!

We had an AMAZING 4th of July weekend at Henry and Tom's place. The weather wasn't the best, but we made the most of it playing foosball in the basement and playing tons of indoor games and activities. The sun that we did have , we spent the entire time on the pond floating in the middle of pond and enjoying the slight breeze! The sandy beach along the pond was perfect to relax and play yard games, have a fire, and we even caught some fish right from the beach. The rooms are all well appointed and the kitchen was larger than expecting which was perfect for our big group. Additionally, all of the rooms were larger than they appeared in photos, and everything was very clean and updated. Communication with the hosts was very easy and they were very quick to respond. They even told us we could check in any time we wanted on our day of check-in, which was really nice to be able to go early! The only thing we were missing was a dish washer, but that’s not something we expected anyways when staying directly on the pond! We also went to The Barking Chicken, Fluvial Brewing, and BreakRoom248 (arcade bar) and we had wonderful experiences at all of those places. We will 100% be back again!!

Alright

Stayed at this rental with my fiancé and 3 other couples (8 of us). Very spacious house and lovely living rooms with wood stove. One thing I didn’t know before booking is that no linens or towels are provided (no bath mat, bath towels, hand towels, kitchen towels, floor towels, sheets, pillow cases). To be honest had I known this before booking I would have kept looking. The place wasn’t as clean as I would have liked or expected as there was dog poop on the deck and some utensils were found dirty in the draw. The place has a lot of potential and sits in front of the lake with beautiful views but the furniture is very outdated. The leather couch is very warn, the TV in the main living room is technically smart but picture and connection is not super great and it’s a little hard to hear even with the volume turned up. The beds were comfortable enough but I did find a yellow stain on the mattress when we got there and stains on the carpet in the bottom room. There was a broom next to the wood stove that had duct tape on it holding it together which just made me question why it wouldn’t just get thrown out and a new broom put in it’s place. Same for toilet seats, not something expensive to spruce up the place instead of keeping old/ warn one in a rental. The taxidermy throughout the house didn’t bother me as I felt it just added to the Maine theme, but as others said something to keep in mind if it may bother you or your family. We only stayed for two nights and it got the job done but unless the furniture and bathrooms get updated we wouldn’t pick this place again. I will say, Henry the owner is very nice, very responsive and did acknowledge the items I brought up to him. The location of the property is also very convenient.

About the host

Hosted by Henry DeMello

We are a family that have entertained and enjoyed this house and its beautiful surroundings since 1997. We have entertained adults and children (ages ranging from newborns to 82) here and all have enjoyed it. It truly is an oasis, a place to rejuvenate you mentally, physically and spiritually. I am certain you will enjoy every minute there.

Why they chose this property

Not only is the property located on a beautiful spot but it is also beautiful within. The house was just completely remodeled in 2008; from bathrooms to kitchen to the deck and bedrooms. It was done with a sense of style and comfort for all those who stay in it. I don't know what season is the best to stay. In summer it is so much fun to light a fire and sit by the water enjoying a drink and family and friends. In winter taking walks on the frozen lake and enjoying a nice wood fire in the woodstove. In Fall taking the canoe around the lake and watching the leaves change. In Spring taking long hikes to see the rebirth of life. Honestly, it is a place of rejuvenation and relaxation to be enjoyed with family and friends.
