This rental was adorable and the perfect size for two adults and two kids. The views off the back deck were beautiful. And it was so quiet and peaceful! Since it was mid October we got to see the leaves in their full colors, and a loon and some ducks. Also a few raccoons along the road at nights. The cabin had everything we could have needed, including extra blankets and pillows, a fully stocked kitchen, cleaning supplies, etc. The only thing I would warn potential future renters is that the first floor ceilings are low. My husband and I are both 6 feet tall and were fine, but if we were a little taller it might have not been comfortable.

Great commuication with the property manager, Tiffany. She made sure that we had everything we needed to be comfortable. The view was outstanding. We saw loons and an eagle grab a fish right out the water. The outdoor patio was great for spending the day outside, has a fantastic swing and a gas grill. The camp is stocked with all the essentials and the beds comfortable. We would have liked bedside lamps as we like to read before sleep. The small fridge in the kitchen is surprisingly roomy, but there is a larger one downstairs (only slightly inconvenient). Overall, we had a very enjoyable stay.

Stunningly beautiful views! Well-maintained and spotlessly clean cottage. Kitchen has everything you need, and there are 2 fridges (one mini in the kitchen, one full with freezer in basement.) Weather was hot a few days during our stay, and the window AC unit in the living room kept the whole cottage cool. The upstairs loft is very cute and cozy but is only accessible via a set of stairs that’s really more like a ladder. Both beds were extremely comfy! Enough parking for 3 cars, which worked well when we had our son’s friends visit for an afternoon. The lake is perfect for swimming and kayaks or canoes. There are restaurants and grocery store about 20 mins away…the cottage is on the far side of the lake. Can’t recommend enough!

We had an extremely pleasant and relaxing few days at this adorable cabin. Everything is very tidy, clean and well cared for. Communication was beyond excellent with the property manager/housekeeper. Anything you need is already there - enjoyed a lovely fire in the chiminea and used the grill for a few meals. We brought a kayak and paddleboard and used them easily from the provided dock and shoreline. They have kayaks and canoes if you don’t have any! Good fishing on the lake as well. It’s a quick drive into town if you need anything or would like to dine out. We will definitely have to come back!

Amazing

Our stay was excellent and exactly as advertised, we had a fire on the patio next to the water each night and it was the peace I needed on our getaway. We had our own private dock that we were able to fish from and tan on with the chairs provided for us. Such a cute and beautiful lake and friendly people in the community. We loved Old Town and the Bangor area. Tiffany was super helpful and friendly, she made us feel super comfortable. The cabin was spotless when we arrived and the pillows are SO comfy!!! I will 100% be returning to stay at Lloyd’s cabin, and am so appreciative that they let us spend our Fourth of July weekend here!

October in Maine

Very peaceful setting directly on Pushaw Lake outside of Old Town. Out of the way from the populated tourist areas but all are accessible within a 1- 2 hour drive. Communication with property manager was excellent and house had everything we needed. Old Town had good restaurant options.

Quiet and Beautiful!

We stayed at this beautiful property for 3 nights in October. It is truly picturesque, and the sunsets are amazing! The owner was responsive to questions. The manager/cleaner (Tiffany) communicated clearly and was helpful with information. It should be noted that the 3rd floor bedroom is up steps that are almost ladder like – very steep. The third floor also has very little headroom. We peeked up there and quickly realized that it was too short of space for my husband to feel comfortable. Since it was just the two of us, we used the very comfortable bed in the lower level. This level had panoramic views of the lake and was wonderful. The bathroom is on the second floor so if you get up in the night, be sure to leave the cute Mason jar night light on at the top of the steps. We spent one day at Acadia National Park and it is about 1 ½ hour drive. It was an easy drive and a good day. We also enjoyed Hirunda Wildlife Reserve that was only a 15-minute drive from this cute cabin. The cabin was fully equipped with a complete kitchen, dining table and living area on the second floor, again, with beautiful views! The biggest inconvenience is the refrigerator located downstairs in the laundry room making it a bit odd when you need to get food. Try as I might as an early riser, I ended up blinding my husband with refrigerator light when I grabbed my half and half each morning. We would definitely return to this place. It was a great escape!
