Beautiful, convenient location.
Posted Aug. 30, 2023 on HomeAwayThe home had most everything that we needed. Loved the location on the lake and the proximity to Baxter State Park and Millinocket! It was quite comfortable. The window blinds need to be replaced so that they are easier to raise and lower, but that is minor. Note that the cold and hot water controls in the lower level shower are reversed.

Peaceful
Posted Jul. 23, 2023 on HomeAwaySouth Twin Lakes are heaven on earth. House is very comfortable and has all that you could possibly need. We were in a "heat wave" and master bedroom was a little warm during evenings but cooled down enough to sleep at night. Thank you so very much!!!!!!

Good Times
Posted Jul. 11, 2023 on HomeAwayThe camp was clean when we arrived. Just as the owner described. 4 adults and 3 kids under 10. Great areas for the kids to play inside and outside. Waterfront was wonderful for swimming. Dock held the 20ft Pontoon with no issue. The chain of lakes left us plenty of room to roam and coming home to the camp was wonderful after a long day on the water. As a side note my daughter caught her first fish off the dock. Many firsts and memories. We would definitely stay again.

Great location on lake
Posted Aug. 23, 2022 on HomeAwayWe loved the beautiful lakefront on a quiet cove with a gentle sloping lawn and gradually sloping swimming area, totally suitable for all of our family, from 3 to 69 years of age with varying degrees of water appetite. Great to have kayaks and other water toys to enhance the fun.
House was good. A bit cluttered, but good features overall. Nice large living/dining area, great for meals, games, and hanging out. With 6 adults and 2 small kids, we felt that we filled the house. Stairs to lower level and down to lakefront were somewhat challenging for older family members.
Check-in process was quite stressful, as cottage actually is a mile away from the address listed on the VRBO description, and actual address and directions were not sent until 2:30 pm when we already were in the area with limited cellphone coverage. We resorted to using our detective skills to find the house.
Overall, we would rent the same house again. And definitely would return to the Millinocket area. The natural beauty is astonishing.

Charming lake house getaway
Posted Aug. 21, 2022 on HomeAwayWe had a wonderful stay at the lake with 4 adults and 4 kids. The kayaks and floating lake pad were huge hits and for a small kitchen it was incredibly well stocked. The backyard at night was beautiful with the camp fire and lights. Although it was a bit of a schlep to get here it was well worth it. Would recommend!

A beautiful Maine get away.
Posted Jul. 31, 2022 on HomeAwayThe cottage itself is beautiful., much more like a home than a camp. It's 2.5 baths and washer/ dryer make it an easy stay. It is advertised as sleeping 9, however it is more like 6 adults. One bedroom is very small and sleeps just one on a cot. There are 2 couches, but they are not pull out. It is located very close to Millinocket, the nearest town, so you are not at all far from supplies. The spot on the lake is quiet, as are the neighbors. It should be known that there is security monitoring outside and in common area inside. This did make some guests uncomfortable.

Even better than the listing - amazing lake retreat!
Posted Aug. 31, 2021 on HomeAwayMy family spent a wonderful week in this lovely house right on the lake. The pictures in the listing don't do it justice -- it is even nicer, more comfortable, and attractively furnished. It is a remote spot, which is exactly what we wanted. Gorgeous, clean, clear lake, great kayaking and swimming (take water shoes for the small rocks at the bottom of the lake). Tubing close enough to enjoy for a couple of hours, several restaurants 10-15 minutes away, along with a great Hannaford supermarket. Brandi (the host) was kind, helpful, and incredibly responsive (including giving us info for boat rentals that would deliver to the lake! - though you should reserve ahead of time). Just perfect for a quiet getaway in a gorgeous setting!

A Great Family Getaway
Posted Aug. 25, 2021 on HomeAwayWe had a great stay! The house is very nice with so many extra amenities! It was very clean and we enjoyed every bit of the house. Brandi was communicative throughout the process.
We made the most of everything this property had to offer!
I would say the only negative for us was space in the bedrooms. Sleeping 9 people (6 adults and 3 kids) was a stretch. I’d say that 6 people would fit much more comfortably but we made it work!

Great spot to swim and hike
Posted Aug. 21, 2021 on HomeAwayWe had a great time at this lake house. The house is well stocked with everything you’d need and laid out in a way that gives everyone enough space and privacy. The lake is perfect for a family to swim, kayak and paddle board. I did a couple morning paddles and was the only one out on the lake - beautiful view of Katahdin all to myself! We did a few hikes in Baxter State park and the surrounding area. Super easy drive to trailheads and good options for all hiking levels (my kids are NOT hikers but even they enjoyed it). Definitely a great place to spend some time and explore an amazing wilderness area.

Lovely Place
Posted Jul. 4, 2021 on HomeAwayThe place is beautiful, peaceful and clean. The host, Brandi, was awesome. She made sure we have everything we need.
We love the beach and spend most of our time outside enjoying the sun. We will definitely stay there again.
