The property, island, and lake are everything you could want in a Maine lake house vacation! The host was incredibly attentive and helpful. Once we got the hang of the boating part, that turned into one of our favorite parts of the stay. Watching sunsets, moonrises, the Perseids, and the Milky Way from the boat on a quiet pristine lake with great chances for everyone to relax and hang out - perfect!

Our family couldn’t have asked for a better vacation. This Beautiful home on Birch Island is spacious and has everything you could need. The lake views from the deck and seating area are spectacular. The water was pristine and we spent many hours each day swimming and jumping off the float on the north side of the property. The deck is spacious and allows you to spread out a bit and to find both sun and shade throughout the day. We were fortunate that we probably had the best weather of the summer with no rain throughout the 7 day stay. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family.

Weather was a real factor this year. This is a splendid place to be when it's hot and sunny. Swimming, boating, eating on the deck... all fantastic. We were disappointed by the cool weather and rain. The house is so great to stay in. Lots of room for the 6 of us and plenty of privacy. Monopoly game is a blessing (and a curse?) in the rainy weather.
