The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a lovely stay in this newly redone home on Thompson Lake. Tastefully decorated, comfortable furniture and beds and well kitted out. The sandy beach and shallow entry were perfect for our young children who spent hours playing there happily. Gorgeous sunset viewing from the end of the dock. Water is lovely and clear (though the sand leading to and at the end of the dock could have used some raking at the start of the season as it was evident by the murky bottom and weeds that it hadn't been used frequently - once we'd spent some time jumping off the dock and stirring things up it started to clear a bit). There's a right of way on one side of the property and that area got a bit busy on hot days so the location is not quite as private as some, but it didn't prevent us enjoying ourselves and having a wonderful week! Would definitely recommend this property and hope to be back in future years. ##### Kate S.

The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was a great place to enjoy beautiful Thompson Lake. We are fairly local and wanted a lakefront vacation spot. This was it!! Private sandy beach, a boat mooring, a great house. The kitchen is a galley kitchen, so not a lot of room there and no dishwasher, but lots of paper plates and cups solved that problem! Quiet lake, nice neighbors, beautiful sunsets! We’ll be back! ##### A guest from Gray, ME ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [Belfast Harbor Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camden-Hotels-Belfast-Harbor-Inn.h893985.Hotel-Information) > - [The Beach House Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Beach-House-Inn.h1277367.Hotel-Information) > - [The Brunswick Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boothbay-Harbor-Hotels-The-Brunswick-Hotel.h4449120.Hotel-Information) > - [The Lighthouse Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-The-Lighthouse-Inn-Carriage-House.h11296004.Hotel-Information) > - [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > - [Smuggler's Cove Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boothbay-Harbor-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-Inn.h2129923.Hotel-Information) > - [The Inn at Ocean's Edge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Camden-Hotels-The-Inn-At-Oceans-Edge.h11861565.Hotel-Information) > - [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > - [The Inn on the Wharf](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lubec-Hotels-The-Inn-On-The-Wharf.h17900817.Hotel-Information) > - [Nonantum Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Nonantum-Resort.h2936780.Hotel-Information) > - [The Boathouse Waterfront Hotel & Marina](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Boathouse-Waterfront-Hotel-Marina.h6120210.Hotel-Information) > - [AWOL Kennebunkport](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-AWOL-Kennebunkport.h67299636.Hotel-Information) > - [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > - [Breakwater Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Breakwater-Inn-And-Spa.h915136.Hotel-Information) > - [Inn By The Sea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Inn-By-The-Sea.h1542725.Hotel-Information) > - [Anchorage Inn and Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/York-Hotels-Anchorage-Inn-And-Resort.h9317652.Hotel-Information) > - [Kennebunkport Captains Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Kennebunkport-Captains-Collection.h13279259.Hotel-Information) > - [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > - [The Rebekah Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Rebekah-Inn.h15833704.Hotel-Information) > - [Saltair Inn Waterfront B&B](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bar-Harbor-Hotels-Saltair-Inn-Waterfront-Bed-And-Breakfast.h36476175.Hotel-Information) > - [The Claremont Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bar-Harbor-Hotels-The-Claremont-Hotel.h13278724.Hotel-Information) > - [Yachtsman Hotel & Marina Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Yachtsman-Hotel-Marina-Club.h1138412.Hotel-Information) > - [Wellington Manor](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ogunquit-Wells-Hotels-Wellington-Manor.h35894464.Hotel-Information) > - [Ocean Gate Inn](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Boothbay-Harbor-Hotels-Ocean-Gate-Resort.h893144.Hotel-Information) > - [Long Creek Hotel by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Portland-Airport.h24280.Hotel-Information) > - [J House Greenwich](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stamford-Hotels-J-House-Greenwich.h8392.Hotel-Information) > - [The Harraseeket Inn & Event House Freeport Downtown](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-Harraseeket-Inn.h51266260.Hotel-Information) > - [The Cottages at Cabot Cove](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Portland-Hotels-The-Cottages-At-Cabot-Cove.h4921193.Hotel-Information) ---
