Luxury Family Home / Retreat Center on Great Pond

Matt stepped in and saved the day at the last minute to ensure another successful trip to Maine for our group. The house is absolutely stunning and has just about everything you could possibly need to host a large group.

My husband and I stayed over New Year’s and celebrated with my step-daughter, her husband and the two grandkids, ages 2 and 1. It was a perfect laid out space for us, plenty of room for our small group…the key being for us, the bedrooms/sleeping areas are well laid out…separate sleeping spaces so the grandkids could nap while the adults played pool, chatted in the kitchen and relaxed.The beds are super comfortable with luxurious linens. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cooking pots and pans, dishes and basic spices. It truly is the center of the home and such a great place to hang out with the family. If we didn’t own a seasonal camp in Rome on great Pond, we would definitely rent it in the summer!!!Highly recommend!

Great communication with host, property and house was perfect for what we needed. Check in and check out were super easy.

This gorgeous home offered what was reminiscent of times as a youth spending summers in Maine. A very tastefully furnished home that has it all. We came together as multigenerational gathering for two weeks — ages 90 to 17. Everyone had a space to call their own whether on the screened-in porch reading, sitting on the dock with morning coffee or cocktails at sunset, the Rumpus room playing pool, working out in the fully equipped gym, office space for those unable to fully disconnect from their businesses, hours and hours of card games at the dining room table. The home was outfitted to keep everyone thoroughly engaged. The canoe, kayaks, paddle boards, smores at the fire pit at night, listening to the unmistakeable Maine sounds of loons (a mama and three baby loonets riding around on mama’s back) kept close by nightly, mourning doves cooing — all memories cherished. All the kitchen fixings for large gatherings you could ask for. Definite perks — very comfortable beds and numerous bathrooms, views from every bedroom. Waterville and Augusta within a half hour for stores if needed to stock up supplies. Christy’s at the nearby Irving gas station has everything if you don’t want to drive too far. Best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Manager carried out my bags the times I was there. I cannot express how much this stay far surpassed what I was hoping for. Thank you Matt and Carissa.

This was our first experience of VRBO and we were very happy across the board.
