7 Reviews of Property 90472 in Otisfield, Maine

I needed a spacious and airy house for my family reunion. We had multiple families with varying ages and everyone found it comfy and easy to relax in. Having the dock and a beautiful lake was like having our own private playground for the kids and the adults.....peaceful, casual, memorable.

We have been renting camps for a week's vacation throughout Maine for over 25 . We are now a 3 generation group (ages 3 -63) (with a couple of single relatives joining in) coming form three states to have a week of relaxing, talking, playing, laughing, unwinding, and just enjoying each other.
Since the use of the internet for searching for camps, I have been able to have a pretty good idea of the property I am renting. but this year I was surprised and kept thinking "Wow" as I entered the house. It was clean, neat, spacious with neutral tones and tastefully decorated with a camp atmosphere. It just welcomes you to come in, be comfortable, and relax. What we liked most about the rental was the feel and flow of the house and how it was very family friendly. It was not only large in space, but had lots of little areas (both inside and out) to gather or just to be able to be off by yourself.
The main room is open with the sitting area, a huge dining table, and a smaller kitchen area. There is a large entry way/hall with a couple of benches and smaller side tables.A great place to store coolers, paper goods, and non perishable food. It was next to the kitchen so things were easily accessable).
The deck is so much larger than depicted in the picture. It had both a picnic table and a patio table with chairs and still lots of room to move around. The screened in porch was large too, with the sleeping fouton on one end and three rocking chairs on the other.
One surpirse was the other bedrooms were in a finished, walkout basement which provided extra pvivacy as well as the fact that the four sleeping areas were all seperated from each other.Having two large, full baths was very helpful and having them separated from bedrooms by the stairs also added privavcy.
The campfire area is one of the best we have had. It was located in a nicely groomed wooded area with a large fire pit, a picnic table, and a wood bench. A great area to enjoy a book during the day.
Saturday pond was large enough to have a waterfront feel, but small enough for no large boats or jet skis so you were comfortable to be out in a canoe or the boat or just relax swimming off the dock. It aso had enough fish to keep everyone happy.
We found the owners to be very prompt and helpful with our inquirey and questions.
Overall a very relaxing place to be and large enough with individual spaces to be restful rain or shine!

Three generations are extolling the pleasure we shared this week: swimming, canoeing, loon-watching. We saw gorgeous sunrises, sunsets, and got in some star-gazing. We were definitely unplugged and loving it, even the teenagers! This house had plenty of space with a bedroom up and two down, a deck, screened porch, a hammock, seating by the fire pit and right on the dock. Everyone found a spot to call their own. The community floating dock is very near and was a favorite destination. We explored Bridgton on the way to North Conway, Norway (for a great book store and some free wi-fi) and fished the Crooked River as well as Saturday Pond itself.

The lake doesn't allow large boats, the camp is decorated tastefully but not overdone, and the furnishings are forgiving to dog hair and the occasional wet bathing suit or towel. We were two families with 3 adults, four kids and dog and we wanted a quiet, safe place to unwind. The camp provides ample, sunny space both inside and out, the dock is great for younger kids to swim with no severe drop-off, and the association wharf provides excellent deeper water swimming. The loons will sing you to sleep and you and the kids can catch frogs, turtles and bass off the dock, the first two without a license. Otisfield and surrounding towns are quintessentially Maine with $4.50 movies in Oxford and "honor-system" vegetable stands about every 5 miles. Try the breakfast sandwich and buy your worms at the Casco AG.

We spent the week of July 17th to July 24th on Saturday Pond. We had a wonderful week. One of the most relaxing vacations in a long time. The place was very comfortable and homey. Plenty of room for a large family. The first floor was open and spacious with overlooking the pond with a very large deck off the living room. A first floor bedroom and full bath. Plenty of games, puzzles and books. No reception on the T.V. but we didn't even miss it. Spent more time together as a family without the distractions of T.V., telephones and computers. The fishing was great caught several large ones. It is so peaceful and relaxing here. At night it seems there are a millions stars in the sky. If you are looking to get away from the fast pace world this is the place.
