Our large 3,700 square ft open-floor plan home has space for the whole family! Enjoy our walk-out lower level game room with Foosball and ping pong tables, plenty of games and puzzles, and a large TV viewing area with variety of DVDs to keep the kids occupied while the adults lounge on our comfy over-sized sofas on the main level in front of our large wood burning fireplace or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck while listening to music using our built-in Sonos sound system.

Summary: What an amazing place. We will come again
Sarah C. Sep 3, 2024 01:35:00 AM
Summary: Booked the chalet for our annual multi family getaway, and the location could not have been more perfect. The house is perfect for gathering people together, gave each couple a private area and plenty of play space for the kids. The property had everything we needed and was very clean upon arrival. Would highly recommend!

Summary: Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this custom Crystal Lake home. It has a large open concept that is plenty of room for our group of 12. It was clean and well stocked. Linens and bath towels were provided as well. The lake was perfect for swimming and fishing. There were alot of steps to get to and from the lake but it was mostly a gradual climb. The decking is in need of updating but that would not deter me from renting. It was older but safe. The owners were quick with a response for all of our questions. I would highly recommend this property for your next family getaway.

Summary: Our family enjoyed a week at the Chalet. We swam in the clean, cool lake every day. The kids fished & saw a large snapping turtle, There were plenty of activities in close proximity to the house to keep everyone busy. Pictures don't so the lake house justice. John is an attentive host, & was always available. We hope to return soon!

Summary: Great property for our family vacation. Beautiful house with fantastic living area, we had 8 adults and 6 kids and never felt cramped. House has lots of toys for kids and is very clearly a vacation home that’s also rented out, not just an investment property like so many places you get now. Huge fridge for all the groceries and kitchen overall was great. The lake is perfect, smaller body of water compared to the surrounding lakes, which means water temps are great and very little choppiness / boat traffic. The dock is in great shape and the kids basically lived down there all week. Some of the other reviews critiqued the beds and the deck. We all thought the beds were comfortable, and while I wouldn’t host a charity WWE tournament on the deck, it’s in good shape for a deck that has to live through Maine winters. Plenty of room for 4 vehicles to park, which is not common in this area given the slope of the terrain. Has central a/c which was a lifesaver during the heat wave. Would definitely stay here again, close to town and groceries. Great spot.

Summary: The Chalet was a perfect site for our senior citizen leaf peeping reunion. Just 90 minutes from some of the finest mountain fall colors and 90 minutes from coastal villages, this home base provided a lakefront retreat center each night before the next adventure. The home, on beautiful Crystal Lake, featured a unique fireplace that warmed our hearts and bodies in the evening. The huge refrigerator was big enough to hold food for our gathering. The high-end master suite bathroom was professionally remodeled and sparkled with modern features. The huge recreation area was well equipped with a big screen TV, ping pong, foosball and table games. We fell in love with New England and can’t wait for our next trip.

Summary: We loved the beautiful, private location on the lake and enjoyed hanging out on the deck, the dock and swimming platform. The house has tons of room- it’s hard to find rentals that have 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, and seating for all in the kitchen and common areas and this fit the bill perfectly. John is very responsive and proactively checked in with us during our stay to see if we needed anything. Highly recommend!
Sharon W. Aug 30, 2023 11:00:50 AM
Summary: This was our second time renting this house. It is beautiful and fully equipped with everything we needed. The lake is gorgeous and everyone enjoyed their stay.
Jennifer H. Jul 25, 2023 01:12:14 AM
Summary: We stayed at this location for a family vacation with 8 adults and could not have been more pleased with our accommodations. Spacious yet very comfortable and welcoming. The open concept allowed for togetherness without being too crowded. The sleeping accommodations were ideal and the lake is beautiful!! There is a nice large dock for sunning and swimming. I highly recommend this property for anyone that is looking for a beautiful lake vacation with comfortable accommodations!!
Anna L. Feb 28, 2023 11:05:20 PM
Summary: Our favorite part was the fireplace, the big windows watching it snow was a hit especially for my family from SC. We didn’t catch any fish but had fun on the lake. We skated, tubed behind a snowmobile, we played hockey. John wad always prompt at getting back to us with any questions… We would rent this house again for sure
