Very nice home. We enjoyed our stay. Especially liked the wonderful kitchen.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Hideaway. There were four of us - two adults, a teen and a senior. It is quiet (there are neighbors fairly close on one side but there are thick trees screening the property) and on a lovely pond with very little boating activity (we only heard one motor during our week). The property was very clean and all of the necessary amenities were there. We used the kayaks and enjoyed the pontoon paddle boat (for an extra charge), and my daughter spent time on her paddleboard. The porch is a beautiful place to sit and eat a meal and there is a sun umbrella for shade. We saw lots of wildlife - deer, eagle, osprey, heron, and tons of songbirds. One thing to be aware of is that the three bedrooms are each on a different floor (loft, main floor and walk-out basement) so if you have people who have problems with stairs, this property might not be for you. But the owners were very responsive and helpful when we had an issue, there were games including cornhole, the fire pit was in great repair and the property was perfect for a relaxing getaway. We drove 45 minutes to visit Moxie Falls (worth the trip) and visited Skowhegan (the Bankery is an amazing bakery downtown). Overall, very enjoyable!!

A wonderful spot to get away from it all and enjoy the quiet and beauty of nature. We cooked and grilled most of our meals and the kitchen was VERY well appointed!

The cabin was even better than the pictures. It was very well equipped, and had more kitchen supplies than I have seen in a vacation rental - it even had an electric griddle for pancakes! The bedrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out when we had to work or do virtual school. The yard was great and the lake was a quick few steps from the cabin. The kayaks were a lot of fun and with the dock it was easy to get in and out of the pond. There is a lot to do nearby, including hiking, a moose safari, the skowhegan drive-in and we visited the shop of the Maine Cabin Masters who were all at their shop that day and could not have been more gracious and friendly. Overall this was a great property, Jonna was a great host, and we had a great stay!
