Wine Down at the Sweet Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You're going to love surrounding yourself with the beautiful trees of this amazing, updated home! Featuring a brand new private, huge seven-person saltwater hot tub, furnished patio, a gas grill, and an enclosed yard with a firepit. This two-story house is perfect for your next Maine vacation, no matter what time of year you visit.

Inside, the living room is dressed in burnished wood accents, comfortable furniture, and lots of natural light streaming in through broad windows at every turn. After a busy day of skiing, hiking or sightseeing, sit back and relax while you soak in our new hot spring spa surrounded by mother nature and gaze up at the beautiful stars above! When you're done enjoying a summertime hike or day at the lake, watch your favorite Netflix TV shows and movies while the private washer/dryer knocks out all that dirty laundry. The gourmet kitchen is full of stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and attractive cookware that will make family meals a joy to prepare in the oven with a built-in air fryer.

Winter guests will appreciate a location right on the snowmobile trail, and summer visitors will be near the lake for entertaining afternoons in the water. When it's time to wrap up an evening, you'll have three full bedrooms, two with queen beds, and the third with a twin bunk with a trundle and an additional twin bed. The loft has a king bed, TV, and a wood-burning stove - the ideal setting for a luxurious sleep or some privacy with a favorite novel. The home's high-speed internet and free WiFi make it quick and easy for remote workers and students to complete their projects on time. You'll even have AC units in every room, so it will be easy to keep cool on those hot summer days.

WHAT’S NEARBY
Explore the lake on a kayak or paddleboard or adventure on a motorboat and visit downtown Naples. You'll be less than two miles from the Long Lake Public Boat Ramp and four miles from Harrison Marina and many public beaches.

The Loon Echo Land Trust is an excellent resource for hiking in the area, with well-maintained trails at Pondicherry Park, Mayberry Hill, Bald Pate, and Pleasant Mountain.

Incredible Stay !!!!
This was our 2nd Stay at the Wine Down Retreat. We came back for all the right reasons. The house is spectacular, clean, spacious, all the things from home you need to stay....just bring food and everything else you need is there. From Smart TV and WiFi in every room, to the huge windows in every room...We just love downtown Bridgeton, from the tiny little breakfast cafes to the new pub/restaurant, and only 45 Minutes from North Conway. We stay in the loft room with the King Bed, Wood Stove, incredible view of the Long Lake. The hot tub was another reason to stay there, what a stay being in the hot tub during a storm that brought 3+ feet of snow. Also have to give a shout out to the incredible neighbors....we got stuck at the bottom of the hill in 3 feet of snow....complete strangers came out on 2 separate occasions to help dig us out and offer us dinner if we didnt make it downtown. We are already planning our 3rd trip to the Wine Down Retreat this Summer or Fall and will become the only place we will stay. BOOK IT !!!! you cant go wrong !!! 5 Star stay without question !!!

Amazing stay, wish it was longer!
I had a great time on this property for a small getaway during the holiday weekend. The house was spacious and clean. The hot tub was especially wonderful, and was the best i ever stayed in. The heated pads were great for safety during this time of year. 10/10 will rent again!

Great Stay
We had a really wonderful stay at the home. We have been vacationing in Bridgton for over 40 years and this home allowed us to be close to family yet have our own space. The owners have gone to great lengths to meet every possible need a renter could want the kitchen was very well stocked the bedrooms are spacious and the office touch down areas were great!!! Would highly recommend this property to anyone.

This is not a lake house
Emphasis on this is not being a lake house, it's a house in the middle of the woods, and you can't even see the lake from it. The property was originally marketed with lake access and a boat dock, but the HOA is blocking all renters from use of these amenities, and the public access points aren't anywhere near the house. We discovered this a month before our stay by looking at the listing for new reviews and saw the updates (we were never contacted by Vacasa). We contacted management for a refund because that was the whole reason we booked the house. Communication was horrible and after three weeks of back and forth we were told a refund would not be provided so we were stuck with the overpriced house. The outside deck and fire pit areas are filthy, the inside is decent, but the layout upstairs is clumsy and the guests staying in the bedroom with vaulted ceilings have to enter the master bedroom to use the bathroom. This house is not a good rental without the lake access, combined with being a 20+ minute drive from Naples and the neighbors all make it very obvious that they don't want renters staying in their community.

Beautiful home no lake view or access
If the home had the Lakeview and access would give it 5 stars even with the other mishaps for our group. The home itself is great and beautifully furnished. The space was perfect for our 3 families a total of 5 adults, 3 teen/tweens and a toddler. Enough towels and linens for all of us. Loved the outdoor space- deck with table and firepit with chairs and wood. Beds and pillows were comoftable. Provided hangers, hand soap, some shower starter supplies, blow dryer, extra blankets and most rooms had window ac. Some hang ups during our stay included: no lake view as pictured and described in listing, no lake access as of March 2021, ants in the showers and one of the beds in the bunk room, pans/pots that are nonmagnetic so they did not work for the stove, no ac unit in the loft room. I would also note that the loft room gets very bright when the sun rises which was around 430am due to the large windows and the curtians not covering them completely. It was difficult to convince our toddler it was too early to get up, but loved this space. Unfortunately we had booked this home to spend some time on the lake with our kids like we had in Maine with our dad as kids ourselves. We were in Maine for our fathers memorial and it was a huge let down without the lake memories we hoped to make. Our group was very disappointed and frustrated that this property was inaccurately describe as we would have booked a different place if there was no lake access and view from this home. Also Google maps has issues locating the home only one out of the 5 adults was able to located the address using maps.
