This place is amazing! We plan on going back here again next year. Our dog even approves! The house was well stocked, clean & in a peaceful location. The dog & I watched the sun set on the dock & viewed the stars at night. The hosts are outstanding too.
Such a great location.. easy to get to NH, the Maine coast and farther North, all within 90 minutes. Secluded in the pines and serenaded by the loons.. doesn't get any better! We really enjoyed our stay and will be back!
We loved walking Iggy the Great Pyrenees along the long driveway and swimming in the lake all week. Great kitchen, bedroom and living room with tv for rainy days. Great places to visit and hike and restaurants! Thank You!
I grew up on this pond and finding this rental was like a needle in a haystack. The place is beautiful and there is plenty of privacy. The swimming area was perfect for our two dogs and my 5 year old grandchild. We will definitely be coming back every year! We are so happy to finally find a place that we can consistently go to!
Loved the pond, weather was perfect for being in the water, location is private & quiet. The cottage needs a few things to be looked at. I left the owner a note. Otherwise we had a perfect 10 vacation on Brettuns Pond. We will be back.
and this was a lovely place to take it. Thank you so much Chris for sharing your property with me. The setting was beautiful and quiet, which was just what I needed to recharge and get some good reading done. I was pleased to meet you and hope you have a great winter.
Very private location. A great place to relax and unwind. The camp was well stocked with paper products, dishes, pots and pans and plenty of towels and linens. We saw a few spiders but, it's camp! There was spray for those! They even had stuff for a dog. Feeding bowls, a runner outside and a few toys. We loved it here!
Cabin was well stocked with supplies and just about anything you could need.
The cabin could definitely use some upgrades including a way of locking the premises, shower losing warm water consistently, and mice definitely being active. Yard had a lot of dog poop that wasn't cleaned up. Overall enjoyed our stay due to location and privacy of the beautiful lakefront property.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Disliked: Cleanliness
Emphasis on rustic.
Location was great. Furnishings were old, one recliner didn’t work. The entire place needs a deep cleaning, but it is advertised as rustic. It’s a great camping place and did offer all we needed for our stay. The fact that we were not able to lock the cabin when we were away was a little disconcerting. I would stay again but might plan on bargaining for a better cleaning. Was overall fair for the price.
My husband and dog spent a lovely week in this waterfront cabin. As a 2 bedroom cabin it is small. I could see a small family (couple and 2 kids) staying in it. There is a futon, but the main concern is a very small bathroom with a stall shower. So that might be difficult with smaller children. Of course, it is all about the lake, and the somewhat isolated setting of the house. Lovely sunset view. This house is described as vintage, and that is appropriate. Outfitted with some vintage furnishings. Lots of room outside to spread out. Sunset view over the mountains. Biggest plus is solitude and water frontage, be aware this is a populated pond with pontoon boats and kayakers. We chose this location as a base to explore Northwest mountain area, and also Mt Washington NH, all within 2 hour drive. Biggest downside has to be the bathroom. It is very small. Which is why I would discourage a larger family. Ideal for 1 couple plus a dog! If you like nature, and exploring this part of Maine is great. Hiking trails are everywhere. Most ponds/lakes had easily found public access.
We love this place! It's private, yet close to amenities. I grew up on this pond spending summers from the age of four 245. I was so excited to find another place on the pond that reminded me of my family cottage. Can't wait to get back!
This was our second stay at this property and it was still great! Owners are friendly and helpful, location is lovely, and it’s fully stocked with supplies you need to cook etc.
This is truly a vintage cottage with a private waterfront setting.The cottage is very comfortable. I was there with my two goldens, plenty of room for them to swim and run. This would be a great spot for a family with young children. My only disappointment: I was expecting a kayak as pictured in the listing.
