We were so thrilled and grateful to have had the chance to stay at Susan and Bruce's amazing lake house. Susan is an unbelievable host. Her energy and thoughtfulness are above and beyond. She was so accommodating and put so much thought into the extra touches. One of our group ended up arriving much earlier and she was able to accommodate. Meanwhile the rest of the group arrived quite late and she was there to welcome us with lovely refreshments, insight for planning the next days, and to show us around the house which is so wonderfully appointed. It has all one would expect from a picture-perfect charming Maine lake house while also feeling super spacious & clean as one would feel in a hotel. It is so hard to strike this balance and this place has it! Susan is a host extraordinaire from the beautiful hors d'oeuvres she prepared for the boat, her spectacular lakeside yoga class, a wonderful campfire she set up for us for the evening, and all the carefully selected things she has for guests to use (everything you'd need for outdoor dining, plenty of lakeside lounging--from the dock, to hammocks, to recliners on the lawn, and a great collection of water equipment to take out onto the lake.) We had a dreamy two days spending lots of time in and around the lake, and really enjoyed the company and hospitality of Susan & Bruce. Can't wait to come back! Thank you!

Susan has such a wonderful place! She & Bruce are great people! It's a must visit!

Susan's home is a beautiful rustic lodge, comfortable and inviting. Susan and Bruce were wonderful hosts, knowledgeable and helpful when we needed them although most of the time we hardly even knew we were sharing a house with them! It was a wonderful place in winter, with a roaring fire and a beautiful view, and a perfect place to spend a snowy weekend mini-reunion.

This was my first airbnb experience and let me just say any other rental I consider in the future will have a lot to live up to. Everything was above and beyond what I expected. I looked into this house as a birthday trip getaway for my sisters birthday weekend. There were five of us, (my sister and I, her two best friends and her boyfriend) who made the trip from NYC to Maine and when were arrived we were in awe of the beauty. The decor was everything you would expect of a nice lake cabin. Susan and Bruce greeted us with fresh cookies, milk and champagne really making us feel welcome and at home. Susan then proceeded to give us a tour of the home so we would know where everything was. We started in the kitchen, dining room and living open area. The kitchen was very spacious plenty of room for cooking, eating around the kitchen island and storing food for the week. The dining area had been set with settings for our us (we had chose not to disturb because it was so beautiful). The living space had a television beautiful fireplace which was set up for us every night, and ample seating space. The ceilings were high and the decor was very rustic definitely what we were looking for trying to get away from the city. The view of the lake from inside was amazing to wake up to every morning. Our bedrooms were right upstairs on the loft and the beds were very comfortable. We did have access to two bathroom, one including a shower. The shower is quite small, so might be trouble for the bigger built types but it did its purpose. We had the perfect weather and a bunch of us used the paddle boards and kayaks to enjoy the lake, while some took advantage of the 5 mile walk around the lake-it was gorgeous. Honestly we had an amazing time and would definitely consider coming back. We were skeptical about sharing the home and feeling like we were intruding but it was not weird at all, Susan and Bruce live in their own area, but at the same time were always there for when we needed them. One night Susan even joined us for a game of Banana Grams and even offered to bake us an apple pie with ice cream but we had to politely decline as we didn't want to stray too far from our fitness lifestyles. It was comforting knowing people were there in case we needed them-being from NY isolation can be scary, so we loved it! We would have to say this house and the owners were perfect and we would definitely book another stay here! My sister had the best 21st birthday and a big thank you goes to Susan and Bruce for providing such hospitality.

Susan was an amazing host who went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. The lake house was located on a serene lake and the house's large backyard lead to a private dock that allowed us to take out paddleboards/kayaks/a rowboat whenever our hearts desired. The house itself is beautifully decorated with a log cabin motif (several furs/game trophies adorn the walls). The beds and sheets were very comfortable and even in mid-August there was never a time where I missed having an AC (in fact, it got chilly at night). After spending 4 nights in Acton we found ourselves wishing we could stay another week. Susan was a perfect host and the lake house provided a beautiful escape from city life.

Susan and her husband were very welcoming and kind. Location is very quiet. Its great you can paddle board or kayak right off the dock or relax by a fire. Beds are the most comfortable we have slept in since using AirBNB. Only thing that could be better is to have a little bigger shower stall, its very small. We would stay here again for a quiet weekend in Maine.

Susan was the best host I have ever had with air B & B. Our group of 7 all agreed we want to plan for next year. Susan provided a generous level of hospitality, including wine and appetizers for our first evening. She was flexible with a last minute additional guest and very welcoming in sharing her home. Even with the weather being rainy there was plenty to enjoy in the house, with a pool table, games, and space for gatherings together or our own little corner to read. The home was a perfect retreat with plenty of beds, linens, and supplies for meals. We appreciated the suggestions for food, restaurants, and shopping in the area. A huge bonus for a very reasonable additional fee was Susan offering a private yoga class and paddle board yoga class. Thank you, Susan and Bruce made our weekend just perfect!

Susan and Bruce are very hospitable. they have a delightful place on the lake. the place is properly furnished with all amenities that one could expect from a out-house (boats, grill, fireplace, wifi etc) we enjoyed our stay. thanks Susan and Bruce.

Stonecraft is a fantastic place to stay! Russ called to be sure I had directions and greeted me at the door on my arrival. Large living space, privacy if you like it. Clean, comfortable. Every detail is addressed. Russ and Ruth went out of their way to be sure I had everything I could ever need for a night's stay. I would absolutely stay here again!

Ruth and Russ are a warm and friendly couple who welcomed us into their 200 year old home with a complete tour. They recommended a local pub for dinner, which was excellent, and very reasonably priced. Room 8, on the third floor, was small but adequate, and extremely clean. The third floor shared space included a shower room and separate toilet room, both very clean, as well as a TV room with puzzles, games, and hundreds of books. Booking both rooms on the third floor could allow a large family three bedrooms, bathrooms, and TV room for the cost of only a hotel room elsewhere, a tremendous value. The continental breakfast was simple but delicious due to fresh melon and danish. It was served on beautiful stoneware pottery that the hosts had made themselves. The house itself is a bit creaky, and Ruth's birds like to make their presence known during the day, but once night falls they are so quiet that we never heard them. Their home is conveniently located about half way between Portsmouth,NH and Conway,NH; just off Route 16.We had a wonderful time getting to know this interesting and very civic minded couple. We highly recommend a stay with them.

Lovely place with great breakfast!

Ruth and Russ are a wonderful, kind couple who took the time to welcome us to their cozy place. The house has a lot of charm and I loved that each room had it's own theme. I won't spoil the secret, so you will see yours when you arrive :) There are tons of books in the house. If you are an animal lover, you will also love that they have birds and dogs. Ruth and Russ invited us down for a lovely breakfast that was soo delicious! I still remember it, as it stood out from all the other places that we stayed. We had some lovely conversation before we were off on on our way again. This place is comfy and clean. It's close to several touristic areas, and we went to Lake Winnipesaukee and the White Mountains from here. Thanks so much for the lovely hospitality!

Nancy is a kind soul. Her home is adorable, clean, charming and comfortable. I enjoyed my stay and will be back :).

Nancy was completely hospitable. I stayed for 1 night- the room and bathroom were both clean, and the property is beautifully located on a quiet lake. Great location for my trip's itinerary: located between the White Mountains and Portland. I would stay here again. Thanks Nancy!

Nancy was a great host! An absolutely beautiful house that was very clean and a 30 second walk from a gorgeous lake. Two very cute, friendly pets and a nice environment made for a great stay. Definitely will come back whenever I come back to Maine!

Never made it to the reservation due to a scheduling conflict but great communication from Nancy. Will definitely consider in the future if I am ever in the area.

Nancy is a wonderful host. She is a lovely women. Her house was very neat and clean. We definetly recomment a stay at Nancy's place!

The house was beautiful. The location was scenic. We had a pleasant stay.

Nancy was a great host. She was very friendly and very easygoing. Her house is set on a beautiful country road. It overlooks a splendid lake, and the room is very charming—immaculate and well-pointed, with a comfortable four-poster bed. I would definitely recommend staying with her.

What a lovely home & what a lovely setting. Nice, peaceful room; slept with windows open. Only issue I had was no AT&T mobile service but, with wifi, my (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) was just fine. I would love to stay here again & stay a little longer.

Our stay was wonderful! The Cottage was beautifully appointed and the hosts were very attentive to anything we needed. They knew we were coming in late and were thoughtful enough to make sure we had stuff for breakfast, as well as other little nicities. The kitchen was fully functional for everything we wanted to cook and never had to go out to eat unless we wanted to. The hosts and cottage get a 10 from us and we can't wait to come back in the summer!

Excellent cozy getaway. Great for a romantic vacation or a family retreat away from it all. Nice and secluded. Beautiful styled craftsman cottage; simple and elegant. Fits a family of 4 perfect and/or isn't too big for just a couple either. The master bed is to die for! So comfy. The host provides many amenities such as starter foods: cereals, coffee, bagels, etc., and toiletries: shampoo, soap, as well as kindling and firewood for the wood stove. If it's winter and snowy or icy, and/or the forecast says there'll be that at some point have a 4WD or AWD vehicle. Wonderfully private area. Awesome access to the "pond" (more like a lake). We couldn't even get out on to it because it was winter, but it was still beautiful to snowshoe over to it. Would totally come back in the summer. Drawback: no dishwasher, but that's what kids are for right!? Also, the water system works like the old-school houses: can't shower back-to-back for 3 hours straight, or run the washing machine and take a shower or run water in the sink, or flush the toilet when you're showering. But, once you respect that, it's well worth it! We loved it!

This house was absolutely lovely, and it came complete with everything from nice linens for the super-comfortable beds to numerous spices and condiments for casual meals in the well-stocked kitchen. We thoroughly enjoyed our time rocking in the front porch chairs, paddling in the shallow lake nearby, and heading farther afield to hit the beaches and restaurants about 45 minutes away on the coast. Jennifer was a very attentive host, going out of her way to ensure that we had everything we might need or want, and anticipating our needs before we knew that we had them. The first morning of our three-day stay, she knocked on the door bright and early to give us a thorough briefing on the home, right down to an evacuation plan, and she stopped by several additional times to check on us and make sure we had everything we needed on our vacation. Jennifer's face became a familiar one by the end of our stay. The one drawback to this generous hospitality was that we felt that we needed to be company-ready at all times.

The "cabin" was beyond our imagination! It is a fully equipped and very nice house, not really a cabin, with a great combo of rustic and comfort. It is incredibly peaceful and quiet and smack in the middle of the woods. There wasn't one thing we needed that we could not find in the house and we cooked a lot. There is every kind of appliance if you like to cook, including two coffee makers, a panini maker, blender, cuisanart, etc. the house was perfectly clean and neat and we even enjoyed the board games on a rainy day. Six of us stayed there very comfortably, using 3 upstairs bedrooms and the pullout couch in the den downstairs. We usually go to NH every summer to visit and will definitely rent this house again.

We had a great time at the cabin in the woods. Very remote and a great get away from the hustle and bustle yet still an hours drive to Portland and Old Orchard Beach. It was great kayaking the lake but you do have to go out a ways to get to the deeper part of the lake. Overall it was a fun family experience.

Jennifer is a wonderful host and made sure everything was perfectly arranged in advance of our arrival. Everything we could want was provided. The location was wonderful. A luxury cottage in a perfect woodland setting with a beautiful lake with kayaks. I really look forward to returning!

Jennifer was very responsive yet gave you privacy. She was waiting for us and had a wonderful manual for us that spelled out everything available, from spices in the drawers to restaurants and their locations nearby, to lake maps and depth outlines! The place was very clean, everything was exactly as described. It was a wonderful peaceful weekend away, and we would definitely come back! Thank you!

From the moment we booked with Jennifer, she was very helpful and provided wonderful recommendations and suggestions! Additionally, she made sure we were situated with every thing we could have possibly needed upon arrival. The neighborhood itself was perfect for a relaxing getaway and exceeded all our expectations!

Andy was a great host, though we never met, he was available VIA phone and email readily. The cottage is rustic and cute. There are 2 beds in the front sunroom with beautiful view of the lake, its really nice to wake up there! The lake itself (when we were there) was really warm and clear and great for swimming, we also did make use of the boats which was fun. The location is private but not isolated (there are neighbors and its near the main road) and also not too far from Portland which we explored as well! We had a lovely weekend.

Heavenly! Can't wait to go back! Beautiful location and view. Better than the pictures. Reggie was easy to communicate with, helpful and accommodating. I definitely recommend!

This cabin on a lake is a fantastic getaway. It's not completely quiet-- there are neighbors' dogs, the occasional motorboat, etc.-- but it's still the perfect, relaxing getaway. The cabin is cozy and has a homey, lived-in vibe. It may not be for everyone, but the group I went with really enjoyed it. The outhouse bathroom is less like an outhouse and more like a luxuriously large bathroom that happens to not be attached to the house. It came fully stocked with washcloths and towels. Definitely take advantage of the boats, the firepit, and laying out on the hammock. We spent most of our time outside. Andy was incredibly helpful and was very easy to communicate with for the duration of the trip!

After a week in July with our family of five, we can this cottage not a friend. Upon our arrival, the hats and the forecourt was not cleaned properly, which we first once min. one hours employed. The cabin is narrow, the furniture getting old, if not rotten. The bathroom in a cabin next door, although clean, the lodge but also storage and garage for equipment and Plunder. The toilet wobbles, the shower is rusted from the tap is only a weak beam. The forest location directly on the lake is very idyllic, you have to compensate from the bedroom a great view over the water, but that was not us for the run-down condition of the hut. Unfortunately, the state of the description does not state the price is chosen too high (we paid $ 125 per day). We have Andy met personally, he has, however, very hard over the Internet to us. After two weeks of traveling around New England and Canada we spend the last week of our summer vacation this July in Andy's cottage with our three children and to be honest our experiences are not so good. It lies wonderful hidden in the woods at Mousam Lake with a stunning view over the water but really is an old rustic cabin Which Has seen better days. The whole thing and the furniture is down-and-out and It was not as cleaned up as one would have expected. The upper bunk bed has no railing so we would not leave someone sleep there, espacially not a child. Inside it is very narrow and Provides no privacy at all, I would not recommend this accomodation for more than four persons. The bathroom is in a cabin nearby with a shakily toilet bowl and a rusted shower cubicle Which so desperatly needs renovation. The price for this accomodation (we payed $ 125 per day) is definitly too high. We did not meet in person but Andy we were in contact via internet and text oftentimes.

We had a great 5 days staying at this cozy cabin. My husband wanted to camp and I didn't, so this was a great compromise. We spent most of our time outdoors in the nice outdoor living space relaxing and grilling, or in the lake or using the rowboat and kayak provided. There's a huge movie collection in case of rain or during the evening. Location was great- right on the lake- and even though there were neighbors, it still felt private. We didn't meet Reggie in person, but were in good communication via email. He was quick to respond, was thoughtful to check in about halfway thru our stay to ensure we were happy and comfortable and give us a recommendation of a nice beach to reach by rowboat. We are already talking about booking another weekend later this summer! Thanks Reggie :)

We've spent a week at this cabin for three years in a row and it never ceases to delight. It's a sweet, cozy house with an amazing view of the lake. My sons and I love using the canoe, kayak, rowboat and paddleboat that are provided and find good fishing off the dock. We spend most of our time swimming right off the property. And Reggie and his family are very generous and attentive hosts. We can't wait to go back.

Andy was a very gracious host. He responded quickly to any questions we asked. He offered great suggestions during our stay, like the private little beach a short canoe paddle away. He even ensured a particular movie we were looking for was there (when you see the existing collection, you’ll be amazed)! The complimentary Wi-Fi was nice for the kids. We felt Andy would be available anytime we needed something but he was not intrusive. The living quarters are exactly as described. A few steps to the water, we spent our days on and by the lake. The dock and patio is a peaceful corner to relax and watch the sun set. The water is clear and the fishing was good. The use of the canoe & kayak was fun. We were lucky enough to stay during a full moon. It was indeed a gorgeous view! We saw a loon up close while using the provided canoe, it even gave a wail as we said goodbye to the lake. We recommend Ted’s for a great seafood dinner & ice cream (just a short drive away). If you want a taste of camping without pitching a tent, this is a wonderful place to stay.

We had a great time staying at Andy's place. The view was absolutely beautiful and lakefront location was unbeatable. We loved having access to the boats and spent most of our time on or by the water with our puppy. He gave us a great tip on a nearby sandy beach to enjoy which was perfect. The cabin was just as described...rustic with all the necessities. Andy had excellent communication with booking and arrival and was readily available for questions via email throughout our stay. We will definitely consider returning for another relaxing few days on the lake.

It was awesome! Pat and Rick were wicked welcoming and friendly. They made us feel really comfortable and at home. We had tons of privacy also. Overall an excellent first experience!

Pat and Rick's place has been our favorite Airbnb experience yet! The space is very clean and cozy, with an incredible patio and backyard view. Pat was so kind and helpful. She loaned us her beach chairs, and even drove to the town beach, so that we could follow her there and not get lost. The warm muffins and scones in the mornings were such a treat. We really enjoyed talking to her, and enjoyed the beautiful area. We'd definitely return!

Where to start..... Rick and Pat were simply the best. Pat was there when we arrive and showed us around the apartment. The apartment was perfect clean peaceful with a big yard. After the visit Pat was kind enough to show us the way to the pound where we took a swim. And to finish Pat prepared the best scones and muffins for us every morning. They were amazing. Nothing was missing. Thank you again Rick and Pat

Our stay at Rick and Pat's could not have been more lovely. From the fantastic, peaceful views to the warm and welcoming chats, Rick and Pat exceeded our expectations as hosts. The pictures don't do the place justice; it is incredibly charming, well furnished, and comfortable, a short easy drive to Kennebunkport and Wells. We will definitely be coming again to see Rick, Pat, and their beautiful dog Molly. Sincerely, Olivia and Ciarán.

This place has everything you could ever want for a peaceful trip! Starting with homemade baked goods (Or as our 4 year old puts it "the magic basket.) delivered each morning with a wonderful selection of Keurig coffee or tea. We also had a delicious surprise of yogurt, butter, milk and watermelon in the large fridge. The bed is comfortable and the bathroom is well stocked. So well stocked that it even had baby soap which we forgot to bring on our trip. Pat and Rick are gracious, attentive hosts and we look forward to our trip every year. It wouldn't be the same without them!

The space was just as it was described! It was clean and spacious and kept very cool with the AC in the living room and the ceiling fan in the bedroom. The backyard is beautiful as well! Pat was the most accommodating host! The freshly baked treats every morning was such a nice little surprise. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Pat and Rick were wonderful. The Suite was very comfortable, well equipped, clean, safe, and spacious. It was in a quiet neighborhood. It felt like home. Don't hesitate to book this Suite!!

Rick and Pat were amazing hosts. We were absolutely blown away by their hospitality. We had a lot of checking out the chickens as well as the rest of property.

My friend Janet and I could not have asked for a better first Airbnb experience with Ruth as our host in a truly unique and special building. Ruth was extremely friendly, helpful, accommodating even as we arrived late coming in from Philadelphia. The rooms were cozy, clean and well maintained. Breakfast was a treat, and we were guided to a great local spot for lunch. We we afforded all the privacy we needed and the amenities were excellent. The area is very peaceful but not far off from the small towns in the area. Our weekend to for our friend's Nuptial celebration could not have been made easier and we truly have Ruth to thank.

Our stay could not have been better!

They are marvelous hosts and I would love to visit them again. The house is vintage but in excellent condition. There are lot of books that you can read and even they suggested us a book by keeping it on the table. Really loved our stay there, no complaints at all.
