Great Family Vacation
The home and property was great for our family of 4 (with room to spare). We loved the screened in garage, eating meals and relaxing while listening to the lake. The water was great, it was shallow up close so it was great for our 1yo and our 4yo could swing out a little deeper 2.5-3’. We loved being close to Lewiston where we could walk or ride our bikes to town.

Beautiful House With Everything You Need For a Great Vacation
This lake house is great. The kitchen and bathrooms are updated and the decor is beautiful. There are 3 bedrooms (1 king, 2 queens) and two bathrooms. There were kayaks and a paddleboat for use, which were great for the kids. There was a portable a/c unit that cooled the house nicely. Lots of outdoor seating for dining and sitting by the lake/fire pit. The lake view was awesome. The location is very private but still close to the marina, the little downtown, and the Lodge (amazing restaurant). Can't say enough good things about this property. We definitely plan to stay here again.

WONDERFUL! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I grew up spending my summers in Lewiston. Our family came back this June for my Grandfather's Memorial and decided to rent this cottage on the Lake. The cottage is exactly as described. It is very clean and organized and has plenty of living space. The location is ideal access East and West Twin, and close to town. The beach off the shoreline is perfect for kids to play in. We really enjoyed the kayaks and the paddleboat. Check in was super easy and there was great communication from the owner. I would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Lewiston. We would definitely rent again! THANK YOU!

Overall great stay
Not to much to complain about. The Ac window unit kept going out but not a big deal. The place was clean , host and Maintenance were very helpful. Lock the bedroom doors at night.. otherwise the ghost 👻 will open them. Lol just kidding. But for some reason the bedroom doors didn't close well. The place was clean. Really stylish and fun! So close to the Marina. We had a great time on the pontoon we rented. Definitely can see myself going back.

Absolutely perfect
We absolutely loved everything about our stay. Home away from home does not do it justice. We were greater with gifts and goodies and we were very happy with the cleanliness and updated furnishings throughout. Highly recommend to anyone who wants a carefree, stress-free getaway! Thank you so much from all of us!
