Beautiful Lakefront.Pleasant Mountain, sleeps 13+. Last minute discount in July!

There were six adults and three little children for this vacation. There was plenty of room in the house for all nine of us. There were plenty of games in the house for us to use. There were also plenty of boats for us as well. A nice hammock and we all enjoyed the fire pit.Be aware, if you are going to the house in the summer, the house does not have air conditioning. There are plenty of fans in the house, but one night it was extremely hot and we had to use the room in the basement where it was much cooler. You should also be aware that there is no cell service. We were able to text one another with the use of Wi-Fi but we could not make phone calls. The owner, Melissa, was very nice and checked in to make sure everything was all right. She was also very easy to get in touch with.

Lovely, comfortable house in a perfect location on a perfect pond. Swimming is phenomenal and the loon opera divine—5 loons this summer. We were 3 adults and had plenty of space indoors and out. Good sized deck, part of which is screened in for bug-free evenings. Accommodations include boats, water’s edge chairs & hammock, dock & float, ping-pong table. We didn’t try the TV, darts, ample video/board game options, or cornhole. Internet is reliable. 7-9 can easily sleep comfortably among the many beds and rooms. A real laundry room instead of a W/D stacked in a closet is a bonus. I’d suggest 4-6 adults max. At end August we saw maybe 4 other people on the water during our stay. All-girls Camp Walden is right across and in view, so quiet-seeking renters sans kids should bear that in mind if renting mid-summer. Our daughter did 6 summers as a camper and 2 as a water-ski/canoe counselor—we know and love this location. Some of the equipment was less-than optimal condition, things like books and games were not stored in an orderly or neat way. We were end-of-summer and found the grill and oven really needed a deeper cleaning on arrival, the pots & pans, cooking utensils and such were quite disordered across the various cabinets. We often rent in Maine at end-August and this is not unusual, unfortunately. Melissa is very responsive, really appreciated that. Very nice/friendly neighbors’ loud, extensive construction and excavation/tree removal did calm down by the end of the week.

We are a multigenerational family of 9 adults + a 3 year old. It was a pleasure to find this beautiful property as it can accommodate large groups of all ages very comfortably! All rooms are nicely furnished and freshly painted. The kitchen was large & well equipped. There is an awesome game room for rainy days & plenty of kayaks, canoe and a rowboat for outdoor fun. Water is easy to access too. The water & mountain views are breathtaking! Shops and restaurants are an easy 10-15 minute drive away. Communication with the host was always an immediate reply. We look forward to booking this property again in the future!

we have a family of 10, 3 generations. Melissa's place has 3 main bedrooms , 1 family room , & a small room (that is a cut thru to the outdoors & washing machine / dryer) that can be used for sleeping / privacy. this works perfectly for us in that : 2 couples take a bedroom (queen & full bed), my daughter & 2 grandsons take a bedroom (3 twins), my daughter & my 2 granddaughters take the family room (futon & bunk. bunk =full bed bottom bunk, twin bed upper bunk), & my youngest takes the small room (couch) as a "spot". there are 3 tvs (1 is in the "twin" room) we do not watch much tv , we do play video games. the tv was used mostly for games ( & tapping into the collection of looney toons cartoons) the kitchen is small but we had 3 different cooks working 3 different recipes & we did not step on each other or get in each others way. the kitchen has more than enough dinnerware & utensils. the dishwasher works 2x a day when we were all together. the main space has a cathedral ceiling that makes it feel so much bigger than it is. the screen porch off the dining area & deck was used by ALL OF US at 1 time or another.it was so comfortable having the breeze all around us but the bugs not in our face.not that there was a big bug problem outside, but some of us did get bit while outside.we had an outside fire most nights (with smores!)its nice that there is a picnic table near the fire pit. We did not use the grill more than once so i can not speak for that. being by the water each morning, listening to the loons (& seeing them, either from the cabin or while out paddling) was a HUGE TREAT for all of us. we used the floating dock for group swimming (& wrestling challenges) each day the weather perrmitted.the water is quiet most of the time (there are "camps" that use waldon pond. During our stay, noise from the "camps" affected us 1x).from waldon pond there is access to hancock pond (with portage if the water is low) 1 of us visited hancock pond 2x using the kayak. we stayed for 2 weeks.if not for financials & timing (having more vacation & no schedule conflict) we would stay for 3 weeks or more!mellisa is VERY responsive & a very caring person.we hope to stay at mellisa's place every summer we have!
