We had a lot of fun on the lake and spent a ton of time on the deck and the dock. All the boats and paddles were functional, and we had a great time paddling and swimming. We especially enjoyed kayaking/canoing over to the gourmet ice cream shop http://brescaandthehoneybee.com/ on the other end of the lake. On the way back to the house we stopped for a swim at a lovely little swimming beach. We fished daily and caught huge bass right off the dock. Neighbors were pleasant and friendly. We enjoyed fires on the shared beach fire pits.The local brewery was great too, only 6 minutes away, which had live music on the patio on Saturday night and fantastic pizza and beer. Supermarket and farm stands are nearby for groceries. The place was very tidy and well equipped with tons of fresh towels and sheets. The kitchen was packed with dishes, glassware and cookware. We did not need any of the spices, oils or vinegars, games, stereo, coffe makers or toys. We brought our own of all of these.The grill worked well and we used it twice. We really enjoyed the outdoor seating and table where we ate and played games a ton. I would bring one of those fly repellent fans bc sometimes the flies come out when you eat outside -sometimes in the evening only. It bears mentioning that the Maine Interstate and a small highway are close to this end of the lake. At home I live near a highway and I had hoped to escape those sounds for the week, it wasn't loud but it was there.

The property on the lake was just what we needed. We enjoyed coffee and reading on the deck and dock. It was wonderful to use the kayaks and paddle boards. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had all the cooking tools you could need. It is close by many great things to visit.

Fantastic Stay!!!

Traveled from New Mexico to visit with my son. I was looking for a place which would be near my son's residence giving us a centralized place to meet. It was just a few minutes away from my son's residence. House served all our needs and was clean and neat. Beautiful views from windows and deck. Will definitely stay again!!!

Private yet close to amenities

Compact cottage with everything you might need and more. Plenty of towels and extra supplies. The beach is shady and the water is nice and shallow for small children. We especially appreciated the air conditioning upstairs and downstairs and the both the king and queen beds were very comfortable. Our hosts were quick to answer our questions about the fishing tackle and we loved seeing the hummingbirds on the window feeder. A nice bonus was the $10 lobster rolls from nearby Hannaford and our daughter in law got to see a moose for the first time at the Maine Wildlife Center.

We had a wonderful stay during our trip to Maine. The house is beyond stocked with all that you need for your week - beds were comfy and the view of the pond from the master bedroom was stunning. Great location to day trip to Freeport and Portland.

July Stay

The camp itself and sleeping quarters were very nice with all the amenities. Issues we noticed… No cupboard space for food as cupboards were full. No beach area on the lake. No view from deck. Pitch on all deck furniture. Lower deck was overgrown and not clean which I personally cleaned up. Trash bins were full when we arrived. Owner did have them emptied. The pictures provided were very deceiving and did not represent the view.

Nice Lake getaway

We had a wonderful stay here. The hosts were extremely responsive to our questions and responded immediately. The home was very clean and had everything you could possibly need, and then some. There was comfortable seating in the living areas and the beds were also very comfortable. It would be awesome if there were less tree cover in the back so the view of the lake was more clear. But sitting on the dock was a beautiful view. Neighbors kept to themselves. The hosts kept a great binder of places to visit / restaurant recommendations in the area and we relied heavily on that when looking to venture out. The Maine wildlife park was amazing. My daughter loved it. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

A piece of paradise

Our family had a wonderful stay at Camp Serenity. Communication with the Silverman's was top-notch and the property is exactly as described. It had the best stocked kitchen out of all the rentals I've stayed in and the HOA beach access was perfect. I would highly recommend this place and chances are, we will be back.

All We Hoped For!

The location was perfect, we specifically wanted to stay on Sabbathday Lake (SO clean!). Everything was smooth, both check-in and out. We were pleasantly surprised by how fully stocked the rental was, from plenty of towels to everything you could think of in the kitchen. The tiniest of things but we couldn't find any trash bags, no worries at all, we left a couple for the next guests! The owners obviously have thought of everything for their guests, thank you!

Beautiful lake

Sabbathday Lake was beautiful, and the kayaks and canoe made experiencing it simple and fun for all of us. The area was very convenient to both the Sebago Lake area and the Portland area - less than an hour to both. The house itself was very nice. We especially liked the deck and dock areas for sitting out, eating meals, and looking at the lake.

Relaxing stay on Sabbathday Lake

My husband and I just spent the most relaxing week at this property on Sabbathday Lake. We enjoyed coffee outside each morning on the dock or the upper deck, we cooked dinner on the grill a few nights, and bought lobsters and steamers at the Fisherman's Net in Gray to cook at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and more. The lake is very peaceful, and while the house is close to neighbors we did not see a lot of activity. Those neighbors that we did see were very friendly. The house is clean and the beds are very comfortable, and our host was quick to respond to questions. We would definitely recommend this place and would not hesitate to stay there again. Overall, we had a great week! Thank you Jerry and Robyn for opening up your home to us!
