Awesome Stay and cool Host
I can't explain the ease and how helpful the host was. We were traveling from a long distance for this. The host was helpful with late check in. The house was well maintained and clean everywhere. You get everything you need. The wifi is also fast. I wish they did provide some body wash and some extra stuff. No complaints at all. It was a memorable stay

Peaceful stay
We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful location while visiting our son at Bates. The house was as described with everything you could possibly need; very clean and comfortable. We especially enjoyed walking down to the dock with our coffee in the morning and relaxing around the fire pit with our wine in the evening. Communications with the host were great!

A quiet respite
We stayed a month in this lovely, quiet home where our hosts were very available by text but never interfered with our privacy. Our dog loved his 2-3 daily swims in the lake.The only real negative for us was we felt we couldnā€™t (& never did) swim ourselves or other thing to be alert to: the lake has lots of algae in it.

Quiet near the lake
The owners are on site and are very respectful and wonderful people. Quiet area with a very short walk to the lake. Great location with short drives to Freeport, Lewiston, and Brunswick. Would stay again!

Planning to return!
We had an unfortunate reason for our stay (loss of a family member), but we were very pleased with the large indoor space on this beautiful piece of land! The home comfortably slept 7 (5 adults, 2 children) and had everything we needed for our short stay. The serene outdoor area and dock provided a peaceful space by the water to clear our head after an emotional day, and catch some sun rays. One note of caution, if arriving after sunset, the road and driveway to the property are a bit difficult to locate in the dark. Even with that, we plan to return for a longer stay to enjoy the rest of the amenities and area.

Nice spot on beautiful pond!
We really enjoyed our stay and our hosts were great! Very communicative and helpful! The place is definitely roomy and pictures donā€™t do it justice. We saw a majestic bald eagle and it was incredible! Our only warning would be for dog owners. A neighborhood dog bit our golden doodle (sheā€™s fine though). It was unleashed and no owner in sight! This large dog came onto the property. Paul was INCREDIBLY helpful in resolving the situation and getting us the info we needed. I hate even writing this since it was not their fault, I just would have been more closely on the lookout had I known.

Great weekend by the 'pond'
We very much enjoyed Sailor's Rest. It was perfect for our three generation family. Paul and Kevin were great hosts, very accommodating and checked in with me by text throughout the stay to make sure all our needs were met. I would recommend Sailor's Rest to anyone looking for a nice getaway by a lake! Thank you Paul and Kevin!

Sailors Rest weekend stay
House had plenty of room for four of us. Extra large bedroom space on second floor along with first floor bedroom. Very clean. Very quiet with dirt road off main road down to the house by the pond. Close enough to Portland, Freeport, and Lewiston to provide options for things tp do. Weather was on the rainy side during our weekend stay but still had an enjoyable relaxing weekend. Hosts Paul and Kevin made arrival and departue easy. Great communication.

Beautiful Place to Stay
We came here with a large contingent, and even though the house has only two bedrooms, don't let that fool you. It is quite roomy, and we easily slept seven people in the house. The views from the upstairs bedroom windows and balcony are wonderful. The owners are in their own house on site, are there when you need them, but give you your privacy as well. Lovely place to stay. I would recommend it to others enthusiastically.

Absolutely recommend
The host was a great communicator and the house was exactly as described. The location is terrific in that it has easy lake access, off a dirt road away from any traffic, yet easy to get to local hiking trails and stores. The house had everything we could have asked for to either remain connected to the outside world (good wireless) or disconnect from the outside world (multiple decks without chairs on each). The host did a great job communicating and answering any questions. We would absolutely recommend this as a place to stay.

Hidden Gem
Our family had to stay in the area because of estate issues of our late Mom. We chose this location because we just didn't want to be cooped up in a hotel. This place really rocked!!! We all felt so relaxed and we utilized the huge kitchen that was equipped with everything we needed to make our meals. The decks off the back of the living room and the master bedroom are wonderful. Experiencing the autumn leaf change in this home should be just stunning! Our host was very attentive to our needs and requests. We will be back!

A lovely getaway!
We had a lovely time here over the weekend for a last minute getaway out of the city. The property was clean and the hosts were very considerate, and put out towels and the lake toys for us! The property is definitely steep, so be mindful if you have young kids or older family. Overall, an easy and beautiful stay.

Fishing heaven
Well appointed guesthouse which is behind the main house. The property is very nice but it is steep. Not a problem for us, in fact I welcomed the challenge of going up/down to the dock after a long trip. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host, Paul was so kind & got some kayaks for us after his disappeared. Even brand new life jackets & paddles-that was so appreciated. Fishing poles were also provided. My kids caught tons of fish-5 different species. My son is an avid fisherman & caught too many to count. He was thrilled! Would absolutely stay again. Hopefully, my son will attend college nearby (fingers crossed). Thank you Paul!

Wonderful spot for a getaway!
We spent two nights with our family here for our sonā€™s graduation from Bates College. Our communications with the owner were clear, timely, and helpful. The house is exactly as described in the listing and immaculately clean and the beds are quite comfortable. The kitchen is more than functional - we were able to make a celebratory meal for 11 without difficulty. We didnā€™t spend a lot of time on property with all of the events to attend, but we did go down to the lake briefly on a very hot afternoon, and the water was gloriously refreshing! We also loved listening to the loons calling at night. All in all this is a beautiful spot and the owner was an absolute pleasure to work with - you should definitely go!

Great get away in Maine
Our family of 3 and our 3 dogs spent some time at this lovely house in Wales while we visited a grandson in Lisbon Maine. Our host was very accommodating and the home was just what we needed. This immaculately kept home is spacious and there are 2 decks to sit out on to enjoy the view. Waking up in the huge master suite and opening the shades to look out upon the lake was a great way to start our day. Our dogs loved running around in the woods and getting down to the pier. Would love to go here in swimming weather as there are boats available and , of course, a swim in the lake!
