This was the perfect little getaway spot that we were looking for. After a bustling visit in Boston, we so appreciated this quiet cozy home on the water in Acton, Maine. My kids were thrilled to venture out in the kayaks and paddle boards provided at the house. It was so peaceful and the sunset was beautiful. The home was just as described, clean, cozy and functional. So many gathering places inside and outside. Kitchen was stocked with all the cups, plates, silverware, pans that we needed. Beds were comfortable and fans were available to use in both bedrooms. The views of the lake from the house were so lovely, it was just what we were hoping for. And most of all, the host was so friendly and responsive. We hope to visit again in the future!

Had a great family stay at the Lake House with two small children (2&4). Really nice layout of the house, plenty of sitting areas, and a beautiful sandy beach for us the play in the lake all day. The lake was really shallow by the beach/docks so easily swim able for everyone. Host super responsive and kind.
