Private island with rustic cabin on large lake

HeatherRating, 5 stars10 months ago

My family of 5 and pups stayed for a week. It was beautiful, serene, relaxing. Ecotherapy. We fished, swam, floated, kayaked, canoed, read, had campfires, played games, and made a lot of good memories. We felt disconnected from the grind and connected to one another. I was a little nervous about my length of stay with two teens and an 8yo but they had the best time. Maybe two weeks next time. Bob was considerate and thoughtful through the stay making sure we had everything we needed. We are grateful that Bob was willing to share it with us. Must go! Does not disappoint!

Island Cottage Getaway in Casco Bay!!

MeganRating, 5 stars9 months ago

Getting up everyday and walking to the beach, or watching the sunrise from the porch really set our day off on the right foot. We spent all day on the beach, or exploring the island. My kids collected bags of seaglass and driftwood. We splashed in the waves, soaking in all the sunshine and salty air goodness. Nights were spent taking sunset walks, making smores by the fire, and star gazing. We saw Saturn and the Milky Way! My kids had a great time on the lobster boat with Jerry. Homeschool science lesson!!! I planned and packed as if we would be camping, and that allowed us to fully enjoy the home and vacation for exactly what it was. We had hot water to wash dishes, and do sunset baths in a bin outside. My husband showered and didnt have any hot water complaints. Things I recommend-sponges, coffee if you are picky (I am), watershoes, castile soap (can be used for all cleaning needs), bug spray, headlamps for exploring at night, and a well stocked first aid kit just in case.
