Reviews for this vacation cabin rental in Lyman, Maine

 We didn't want to leave!, September 15, 2008

By Lynn Douglas (Chateaugay, NY)

For our first "extended family" vacation, we could not have asked for more. The Shields were the best hosts and could not have been more accommodating. The pond is quaint and just the right size if you want to get away yet enjoy the daily canoe or kayak ride. A relaxing walk can take you all the way around the pond or a nice fire can keep you visiting into the night. The ocean is only a short drive as are shopping outlets and other amusements. Amenities abound, activities keep children and adults entertained, and being able to have your pet(s) with you helps you to relax. Our thumbs up and strong recommendation for Barker's Pond.

 

 Great Vacation!, August 27, 2008

By Beth LeFleur (Norfolk, MA)

We stayed here for a week in August of 2008 and loved it. The Pond is so relaxing and Michelle and Dean are great hosts. Our dog loved the area as well - lots of dog friends and swimming for him! We had the best time. Thanks again.

 

 Serene, August 12, 2008

By Michele Poirier (Enfield, CT)

Myself and another family rented this cabin for vacation and we had a wonderful time. The description of the cabin was very true and it had everything we needed. There was plenty of space for sleeping. There was tons to do despite the rain. We enjoyed our time at barkers pond and have already reserved a week for next year! thank you for everything Michelle, Dean and the rest of the family, you made our vacation memoriable.

 

 Fun & Relaxing, August 2, 2008

By Sandi Fish (Walpole, NH)

We had an awesome time. Lots to keep busy if you want. Fishing, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boating, swimming, bbq, campfire. Hammock was great for when you wanted NOTHING to do. Also a great vaca for our dog... swimming, walks around the pond and she made friends with the owner's dogs. The owners, Dean & Michelle Shields were gracious hosts who were very helpful and cared that we had a great time. We would definitely repeat this vacation next year.

 

 Peaceful & Relaxing, July 25, 2008

By Bob & Laurie (Bonita Springs, Fl.)

What a great place, we had one of the most relaxing vacation ever. Michelle the owner could not do enough for us, we brough our best friend polo (dog) with us and he had a wonderful time swimming in the pond. We have already booked two weeks for next year and can't wait to come back. Thank you Michelle.

 

 Great place for rest and relaxation!, July 21, 2008

By Connie and Bob (South of Boston)

We enjoyed a one week stay at this Maine cabin and had a terrific time. The area and pond is so peaceful to sit back and relax. The accomodations were great inside and out. Sitting by the open fire in the Adirondack chairs roasting marshmallows and hot dogs was a plus! Would definitely rent again.

 

 A great place to "decompress and reconnect"!, July 12, 2008

By Craig and Sandra Spiegelhalter (Jupiter, Florida)

We traveled from Florida to Maine for a quiet, scenic, peaceful vacation. The amenties listed for this rental were exactly what we were looking for (and exceeded our expectations). We all enjoyed canoeing, fishing, swimming, volleyball and horseshoes. Roasting marshmallows in the evening was the perfect touch to ending a great day. This place truly offers the best of both worlds. Sightseeing is availabe in all directions. The Shield's family offered incredible hospitality! We look forward to returning in the near future.

 

 Great Escape!, May 17, 2008

By Traci Dowd (Kennebunkport, ME USA)

This vacation spot is just perfect if you are looking for peace and relaxation. The location is close to local attractions and shopping. I was pleasantly surprised with the comfortable beds and linens (big plus!). You'll find everything you need for cooking and the Shield's hot dogs are a terrific welcoming gift.
