Perfect family house on a pond
This house was perfect for my relaxing family vacation, we went kayaking, and relaxed outside for most of the day in the warm sun and at night had a camp fire with smores. The inside of the house was spacious and fit all 6 comfortably.

Peace and quiet on the pond!
A very quiet and pleasant location. Very comfortable camp, nice beds, well stocked kitchen, nice new appliances. It is right on the water which we loved. We also loved that the pond is motor boat free so all we heard were the loons. Great camp and will definitely be going back again.

Great Place for a Maine Getaway!
The property is well equipped for a fun family stay. Plenty of bedrooms. A very comfortable living room that is well stocked with books, even for kids, and a good video library. The canoes and kayaks were great to explore the pond. It was fun finding the ducks, frogs and dragonfly's while paddling around the pond. The kitchen was well equipped, and the commercial grade stove made preparing food easy. I would definitely return again. Thanks to the host Melanie for helping make great family memories.

Quaint spot for a family getaway!
We only had a short time there, but all and all it was relaxing. Unfortunately there was a tropical storm on our one full day there, but we made the best of it! Plenty of space inside for our large family even on a rainy day. Plenty of canoes/kayaks for our family to all enjoy! The owners are very helpful and kind!

Excellent home and location!
Can't say enough positive things about both the cabin and the secluded location. VERY well stocked, lovely kitchen, views galore, lots of comfy furniture and beds, and great canoes and kayaks. The area is lovely - Rangeley is less than 10 minutes away - and so many hikes, ATV's and swimming holes and adventures to be had..can't recommend it enough - for dogs and kids alike!! Many thanks!!

Quimby Pond
The camp is spacious with an exceptional floor plan. The kitchen and dining area is awesome with a well designed and applianced kitchen and a beautiful view of the pond. The bedrooms were ample with modern beds and very good lighting. Two full baths were updated, clean and enjoyable. A separate spacious area for relaxing had abundant and comfortable seating along with a well equiped and porportioned entertainment center making this camp quite unique. Overall, we really liked what this camp had to offer.

The cabin was perfect
Everything you could want was right there. We loved going out on the canoe everyday. We sat for hours just watching the two families of ducks. The views were spectacular. We loved listening to the loons every night. It was a relaxing breath of fresh air vacation. The host was terrific and the people in town were great. I actually cried when we had to leave. AWESOME VACATION

Excellent stay
This is a fantastic rental. The space was large and clean and had everything we were looking for inside, including a very nice kitchen and common areas. There is a big picture window that looks right out onto the pond - which is actually quite large. There is a nice grassy area to sit outside in front of the pond. We enjoyed taking the canoes and kayaks out, and we enjoyed the fire pit. The location was a short drive to town and Rangeley lake. We would definitely come back.

Melanie is a treat! Best communication of all the Vrbo we’ve stayed at. Gave us a bunch of tips on places to go that suited our interests. Property as described… if only Melanie could control the weather (it rained all week) would recommend for individuals, families and couples. Thanks for sharing your home with us , Melanie!

Not only did she provide a great cabin right on the water, but she provided helpful resources of points of interest that made our trip three times better than it would have been. The cabin was clean, had all we needed, and the location was perfect! The description is 100% accurate. The host was hospitable, didn’t mind answering my questions, and has the best personality ever!

10/10!
I really enjoyed staying here. The house was very clean and the kitchen in particular was really wonderful. Cooking at the stove with a view of the water was amazing! The water isn’t super great for swimming and because it is so shallow we saw a couple leeches but one of my friends did go swimming though and enjoyed it! Several of us kayaked and it was really great for kayaking. There were 7 of us total and it fit us all very comfortably. There’s also excellent opportunity for seeing a lot of wildlife. We saw a bald eagle swim in the water and catch a fish which was so cool! The property is secluded and very private, but not far from town. It’s also pretty close to Rangeley Lake State Park and we spent an afternoon there - it is stunning there and the water is perfect. I definitely recommend staying here.

Peace and Quiet on Quimby Pond
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Rangeley ME on Quimby Pond. The house was cozy and had a great view of the water. Plus, it was super easy to launch kayaks and paddle around the pond. We did some great hikes in the area, and had a fantastic dinner from The Shed BBQ. (It was amazing!) The best part was sitting outside looking out over the water in the early morning with a cup of coffee listening to the loons calling out on the water in the mist. And again at night watching the stars come out one by one until the sky was full. Amazing.

A very nice stay, the week was very wet but we had lots of fun.
We would like to say a few things that were somewhat negative, we are very sorry to say what we want the hostess and others to know about about our stay. After the first night we realized that we had SEVERAL MICE running around. We must have seen over 13 as we were watching a video. Yes we went and bought mice traps and caught many of them. Also when we were grilling outdoors the second night the propane tank ran out of gas on us. Having the canoes and kayaks was wonderful. The stove was amazing and the dishwasher the very best. All in all it was a delightful vacation, mostly in the RAIN, but that sure is not anyones fault!! Thank you hostess.

Rustic Stay
Our stay was pleasant for the most part, but a deep clean of the property would be recommended. Cobwebs adorn most of the place and there were dead bugs in one of the beds when we pulled the covers. We found a wet bathing suit top in the couch and the garbage was half full upon arrival. Check in/check out was easy and Melanie allowed for early check in and late check out. Communication with host was prompt and accommodating. The pond in front was lovely to canoe/kayak, however swimming is kind of yucky - very shallow and slimy with lots of pond vegetation. Location was central. Kitchen is well stocked.

A True Maine Experience
Owners were great to deal with...always responded quickly. This cabin in the woods on a (very large) pond was exactly what we were looking for in a vacation! There were kayaks & canoes for the pond as well as Adirondack chairs, hammock, fire pit, grill & an awesome picnic table. The town of Oquossoc & town of Rangeley were each about a 10 minute drive away for whatever you needed. On our adventures, we saw plenty of red squirrels, loons, ducks, a bald eagle, moose, ruffed grouse & a family of beavers. We are a family with 2 adults & 2 teens - plenty of room for everyone. If you are looking for an authentic Maine cabin with everything you need - this is definitely for you! We loved it!

Authentic Maine Camp
Loved the privacy of the location, with only sounds heard were loons calling. We spent hours outside on the Adirondack chairs and inside in the lounge chairs enjoying the view ofthe pond with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The camp was located just a short drive to a town in either direction with grocery stores , shops and restaurants, as well as hikes and areas to explore. The interior of the camp was uniquely dorated in the "Maine Camp" style . Every place you looked, you saw something interesting. The Gathering Room had comfortable seating for several people, as well a a good view of the Lake. We enjoyed use of the canoes and paddled across pond one afternoon. Melanie was easy to contact when we had questions.
