My family loved our stay at this cozy home on the lake. The views of Porter Lake are stunning and nothing beats having your morning coffee while watching the sun rise up over the lake and listening to the loons say good morning. Being able to kayak or canoe out onto the lake for fishing or exploring the nearby beach was great. My boys found a little island with a rope swing for jumping into the lake and spent a lot of time there having fun. I personally enjoyed floating on the raft chair during the hot afternoons. My dogs felt right at home too running around on the grass and being able to step out onto the lake for a sip of water when they were thirsty. We stayed in most of the time and were able to cook several meals either in the well-equipped kitchen or using the outdoor grill. The beds were very comfortable and we enjoyed taking naps almost daily especially since we woke up very early most mornings because we didnât want to miss the beautiful sunrises. Our only slight negative is that we wished the living room area was bigger to accommodate my whole family but the reclining sofa was very comfortable to watch TV in and there were other TVs throughout the house. We would definitely recommend this house for a relaxing week with family.
Jeff and Jessâ lakefront home made for a perfect retreat to relax and take in the peace of the lake and loons. Comfortable bed, nice and clean with everything you need to enjoy yourself. Great communication with the owners throughout the process. Hard to pack our bags and say goodbye. Looking forward to returning.
We really enjoyed the property. The interior was nicely updated. The fire pit on the shore was perfect. The ride to Sugarloaf was a little further than expected but the coziness of camp made up for it. Will definitely consider another stay at this property.
This is a pristine property all four seasons, With a full view of the lake out of any window, you are one with nature in any season. The house is immaculate and the amenities very welcoming. The host aims to please and couldn't be more accommodating. We'll be back for sure. ssh is
Great property, exceptional views....the house has great access to the lake. It snowed during our trip, so the large front windows made it a great vantage point to watch the snow and our ice fishing traps.
Jeff and Jess Davis are amazing hosts. I highly recommend their property if you are in the Strong/Kingfield area. House is spotless
and well equipped
We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Jeff and Jess.
Beautiful peaceful spot on the pond/lake. We could not have enjoyed our stay more! Clean, well equipped and tremendous view of the pond and mountains. We are already discussing going back next year. Special place!
We loved the quiet lakeside house, perfect for two couples. And awesome place for our dog to enjoy swimming. Hosts are very nice, canât wait to come again!
My husband, two dogs, and I enjoyed a quiet April weekend on Porter Lake. The place was exactly as described and clearly a beloved family lake house. We will certainly be back!
Beautiful layout for our summer vacation. We Kayaked, fished, used the swim platform and had a really nice time!
Weather was perfect and lake was very clean! Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed the lake as well!
Our stay in the Lakefront home was simply outstanding. The beautiful setting, quiet location, warm water, sunny weather, and the ability to have our local family and pet join us all contributed to this wonderful vacation. Our family hopes to return to this beautiful home next year. Thanks!
Our group booked this home to spend the 4th of July weekend and we had a good time. The home is on a gorgeous, clean lake and the setting is extremely relaxing and private. We really enjoyed sitting on the dock and watching the loons (I have never seen so many)! The owners provided great directions to get to the house and check in was easy.
We appreciated the owners leaving kayaks and a canoe for guest use - it was nice to be able to get out on the water! The lake was also great for swimming although we would of appreciated if the ladder had been attached to the dock for our stay. Our dogs loved playing in the yard and swimming with us.
The house appears to have been updated recently and was a good size for our group of four adults and two dogs. We appreciate the owners allowing dogs to stay. The house had most everything we needed to prepare meals except we could not find dish towels. We appreciated the space left in the pantry for guest items. Of note, some of the drawers and cabinets were cluttered and these spaces, and some kitchen items, were not as clean as would be expected.
The beds were comfortable but there was limited space for guest items in the bedrooms/closets due to the owners storing their clothing/items there. We were able to work around this but our experience would have been improved if there was more space set aside for guestâs things.
Would overall recommend this property to those looking for a relaxed stay on a beautiful Maine lake!
My family and I stayed here for Memorial Day weekend and had a great time. We couldnât have asked for a better location or a better view of the lake! Property was clean and well maintained! Would definitely recommend this place to everyone! We have actually already booked it for this winter!
