Great time
Place is as advertised. Its private but close enough to downtown that you can hop in a car and be anywhere in 10 mins. The area down by the water is smartly organized so you can swim and hang out down by the water. This is important because the walk up and down the hill can be a bit of a chore..but I’m a short fat guy and had no real issues with it other than it getting a little slippery when it rained. One thing to note for swimming - there is no walk in area, you either jump in from the dock or use the ladder off the dock. It worked for us adults and preteens bc we just jumped in but would be something to consider for parents of smaller children. The pond was real quiet and it felt like we had it all to ourselves most days. The house is just like pictures. Tons of seating areas which can double as places to sleep. The kitchen was stocked with everything you’d need for the stay. The deck is huge and has good views of the pond. The kids loved ping pong and darts in the basement. The bedroom in the basement is simply a bed in the basement. Worked for us - it’s where I slept - but something to note as i wouldn’t classify it as a bedroom. Maybe adding an armoire or nightstands just so the person sleeping down there has a place to put there stuff would help.

It truly is AS GOOD AS IT GETS!!
I booked this property for my myself and my children along with our two dogs. The pictures looked stunning but I figured there was no way it could be as great as it appeared. I was wrong!!! This house was everything we could have ever asked for. Huge! Spacious! Clean! Secluded!! We saw a few boats in the pond but overall it felt like we had our own little private hideaway!! The town was just beautiful and easy to navigate. On our second to last day I called up and booked it for the same week next year. Rangeley captured all of our hearts.

Lovely house on lovely pond
Modern log home on beautiful Dodge Pond. On the plus side- Nice dock and picnic table with fire pit by water, dual kayak and peddle boat provided, well appointed home with very comfortable furniture, ping pong table, water toys, board games, etc. Clean and well maintained. On the debit side- steep grade down to pond would be an issue for anyone with mobility issues, The kitchen is quite small for a house this size. You can't open the refrigerator door fully as it hits the island. The 4th "bedroom" is really just a bed next to the ping pong table in the unfinished basement.

Great Getaway
We had a wonderful experience. Everything was as expected or better. The water and location were amazing. We will definitely rent through Morton & Furbish again. With this pandemic they made us feel safe in their cleaning of the home.
