Our stay at Little Narrows Retreat
We recently stayed at the Little Narrows Retreat and were thoroughly impressed and pleased with our choice. We arrived to a house that was neat as a pin both inside and out. The attention to detail was very impressive. The house is modern and extremely well outfitted with everything you need to be comfortable and content. The host has literally thought of everything you might need to make your stay enjoyable and relaxing.
With all the coming and going, the electronic door locks were a nice feature as well and the host was thoughtful enough to program them with the last 4 digits of our phone number so super easy for everyone to remember.
The provided WiFi signal and speed was excellent and the Roku TVs made it easy to access our private streaming services during our stay.
The dock is fantastic for just relaxing and taking in the views or fishing from it. We enjoyed just watching the loons do their thing. It’s perfect for keeping a boat or other watercraft during your stay and the launch is literally minutes away and super convenient to use.
There is tons of seating for having a fire or eating outside on the patio and enjoying the lake. The two gas grills are very convenient to use.
I’d also like to point out the neighbors are super nice and welcoming to guests.
We could not be more pleased with our stay and hope to return again in the near future. Thank you for sharing your slice of heaven and making it easy to turn your house into our temporary home away from home!

Accommodating
My family ranged in age from 19 to 70 and the property provided the perfect backdrop for all our events and antics. The pond surprised us with two good catches and a few bass. We ventured out and about into the town of Lincoln, Bangor and Aroostook county. We even had several conversations with the neighbors. Thank you for the quick responses to our questions and concerns.

Comfortable and Relaxing Remote Work + Fishing
Great wifi for remote work x2. With two of us working remotely either on video calls or doing data-intensive software engineering all day, we appreciated the TWO quiet desk locations and excellent wifi.
Kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed to prepare meals and loads of spices if you don't bring your own like we do. Coffee and snacks available at checkin were a nice touch, and perfect for our late checkin to buy us time to go to grocery store in the morning.
Beds and furniture were comfortable, home was well cared for.
We brought our own kayaks and the dock wasn't in yet, but it looked like setup and a good group of boats available. My husband caught fish every time he went out. I opted to just paddle and enjoy the quiet.

Peaceful Maine getaway!
If I could give more than five stars, I would! This beautiful home was peaceful, fully equipped with everything we could conceivably need, and full of stunning views! Our host was extremely responsive and helpful. This home felt very remote and tucked away, but was only a ten minute drive to everything in town, so it was super convenient! The inside living space is on the smaller side, but with an abundance of Adirondack chairs and outdoor seating we never felt cramped! (Even with 8 adults and 2 little ones!) I cannot recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with stunning views and comfortable accommodations!

Awesome stay!
This was a wonderful property! The house itself is spacious, cleaned, and well stocked. (When we got there, we wished we had brought a baby gate to prevent the little one from going upstairs, but we found one in the closet!) It’s near enough to town to run to the store if you need something, but feels very relaxing and remote. It really felt like “home away from home” for the few days we stayed.
We had a 2.5 year old and 4 year old with us, and they had a blast! (They especially liked watching the little sunfish that hung out around the shore.) The lake was wonderful for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing.
The host was very nice and easy to communicate with!
Our family would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Maine Lake House!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Narrows Retreat! 4th of July week on the lake was something special - chilling by the lake, bonfire, s’mores and watching fireworks. Our objectives for the week were to chill out some days and also take day trips around central and eastern Maine (Baxter state park, Acadia and down east). Lincoln is a perfect location for that. Also the fishing (right off the dock!) was superb. Shaun was a great host - very responsive to our questions and requests. Highly recommended for a family lake house vacation in Maine.

Family trip
Nice, quiet, slice of heaven. Would have liked an easier way to access the water for our 3 year old, but he was brave and jumped in once. Saw lots of ducks, loons, and chipmunks. Shaun was easy going and accommodating. Had a couple hick ups with wiring, but he helped us with that. Had a great family trip!

Loving Lincoln
Shaun is so easy to work with! The house is very clean and super cute! We appreciate the cleanliness. We love having the washer & dryer & dishwasher—can really vacation! This place had a lot of little extra amenities which are a fun surprise. We felt very comfortable here. Our favorite spot was sitting at the kitchen table in the morning with a steaming cup of coffee looking at the lake. This was a great place to explore Baxter State Park & Moosehead Lake region in day trips.
