The house is beautiful with 4 comfortable bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. The kitchen is reasonably stocked with spices and utensils which made it easy for us to cook few meals during our 4 day stay there. The best feature of the house is the lake access and the kayaks/canoe available to use for guests. They have ample life jackets available as well to ensure everyone's safety.The area across the lake from the property has some trees with vivid colors which offered a beautiful view every morning.

Lake Pushaw Retreat

My husband and I were in Maine with our two boys to check out the U of Maine. This place was the perfect home base while we were there. Cozy, roomy and lots of great board games! We had a great time and will stay there again when we go back.

The Pushaw Lake Retreat worked out perfectly for our family. We were looking for an affordable property that was central to the places we wanted to explore in Maine. Very private, beautiful location. The lake was a big, nice surprise. Our kids thoroughly enjoyed it. The home was clean and functional. Checkin, check out, communication was great.

Wonderful lakeside home.

Cozy, warm, (it was February!), rustic, and beautiful! The sofas were comfortable and the view terrific. Summertime on the big enclosed porch would be stellar.

Lakeside perfection

This sweet lakeside cabin was perfect for our family! The owner was so great and the house exactly as we expected. We came to visit U Maine and didn’t want a hotel stay instead we got a cozy cabin with a gorgeous view that fit our family and felt like home! Would recommend and stay again!

July vacation

Property was even better than the listing. Clean, nicely decorated and updated, great waterfront/beach area with a canoe, kayaks, paddle boards. Kids and adults all had fun in the water in the afternoons after we had gone out and enjoyed Maine during the day.

Lake House

Pros: Overall the stay was nice. The lake access and views are stunning. Easy to communicate with property manager. The house was close to Bangor which was easy to get from the airport. Home was well equipped for all our needs. Cons: Home felt dirty and the water system smells.

Wonderful location

This place was wonderful for an April visit! The location was lovely and the place was cozy and warm. Host responded quickly to our communications. There was some wind damage to the home while we stayed, and someone was there to repair it quickly. It didn't affect our stay, but they were prompt. We were disappointed that a canoe was NOT available as included in listing. Once we arrived and asked, we were told it was being repaired. Not a deal breaker, but I would inquire specifically before booking if that is important to you.
