Wonderful retreat!
We had a lovely week at this gem of a property! There was a perfect balance of historic charm and modern amenities to make our stay very comfortable. Luckily, we had great weather while we were there, so we spent quite a bit of time on the serene patio enjoying the view of the lake. Mary was very accessible by phone and responsive to any questions we had. Looking forward to our next stay here!

A first rate experience
We had a wonderful week's stay at this charming home. It is beautifully and, most important, comfortably furnished and decorated. The location was perfect for us and a lovely neighborhood for walks, with restaurants and shops about a mile away. The trains did not bother us at all; in fact, my husband loved them! We will look forward to our next stay.

I booked this house for my mother and mother in law for their Christmas visit. It was perfect! The view of the lake is amazing, the location is ideal for walking into town, and the home could not have been more comfortable. What a gem!

Second stay at this lovely house
The VRBO is exactly what it is advertised plus some. The owner, Mary, is wonderful and very accommodating. The house is so lovely. Our daughter is in college nearby and since we stayed there when we dropped her off, she was looking forward to staying there as well.
Very close to stores, shops and restaurant. I can't imagine staying anywhere else when we visit Portland.

Lovely cottage with surprise sounds!
Overall the cottage was cute with a beautiful peekaboo view of the lake. It’s historic, so expect a dark home with a lot of creaky noises from floor and beds. Unfortunately, the beds kept each other up and the “surprise “ train came every morning at 2:50am and 6:00am. It was disturbingly loud. The bathrooms were well appointed. WiFi was good.

Beautiful Country Home
What a wonderful home! This cottage has a unique blend of old world charm and modern conveniences. Built almost 100 years ago, the house is immaculately preserved. And Mary, the owner, has found a way to remodel the kitchen, baths and A/C to modern standards making for an ideal vacation stay. We enjoyed the patio with its lake views, walks in the lovely neighborhood, and even the occasional train, which did not wake us. This is truly a visit we will cherish. Thanks Mary!

A little slice of heaven
The house was amazing. Mary was wonderful; very responsive whenever I had any questions. The house has a view of the lake and was a wonderful place to stay while we dropped our daughter off at college nearby. We have already booked the house for parents weekend!
