If you haven’t booked, please look for another more suitable property. From the beginning communication was challenging with this property. Messages weren’t answered and if they were they were met with one to two word answers. With the fact that the property had no reviews at the time on this site and only one on another site, I requested to speak with the owner on the phone. He was friendly but not very helpful but his friendliness allowed me to put down my guard. I should have cancelled. On the day we arrived we received the entry code from a number from Maine with a recording letting you know that the conversation is being recorded. A little odd. As luck would have it the wrong code was given to us setting off the property alarm and police arrived moments later.

OTHER DETAILS TO NOTE:

We respect your privacy! There are no interior cameras. We do have a doorbell camera at each exterior door for your safety and for the security of our home. Please do not tamper with these devices - it is a violation of house rules. Thank you.

** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - READ BELOW **

- DO NOT GO ONTO THE PRIVATE PROPERTIES OWNED BY OUR NEIGHBORS - THESE ARE THEIR HOMES -

As a host, I feel entirely ridiculous even having to include this section within our listing.

You are welcome to use our property, enjoy walking throughout the private roads of Lancelot Shores, and even use the community beaches and boat ramp.

We’re lucky to be in a peaceful, close-knit neighborhood, and maintaining strong relationships with our neighbors is a big part of what makes our home and this community special.

For over 99.9% of our guests - this is obvious and not an issue. Unfortunately, for the 0.1% of guests who haven't quite understood this, it has caused a problem with our immediate neighbors, and they let us know EVERY TIME someone violates this rule.

That’s where you come in.

We ask—firmly and respectfully—that guests do not set foot on any neighboring property for any reason.

This includes:

** The yard and beach across the street (no sitting, walking, or passing through)

** Launching kayaks, paddleboards, or other watercraft from the private beach across the street. That is their yard - please don't even ask them if it's ok.

** Swimming or entering the water from any neighboring beach

** Using any garbage or recycling bins that are not on this property

** Taking photos or wandering onto lawns, driveways, or shared paths

Some neighboring properties have security cameras and will contact us immediately if guests trespass, even briefly. Their cameras are motion-sensored.

We know this may feel strict, but it’s part of being a great guest in our shared community.

If you have any questions about boundaries or access points, just ask—we’re happy to help. Our property lines should be fairly obvious, as are the ones for our neighbors as you navigate within our community.

Renting our home constitutes that you have read and understood this policy.

Unfortunately, if you violate this policy, you may be asked to leave without a refund for the remainder of your stay.

Thanks for your understanding and for helping us keep the peace.

The hosts were very informative and responsive." - "My team and I attended a weapons school in Epping. After driving for 2 days, we arrived at the home and was very pleased at the condition, location and the layout of the home. All appliances worked and the house was very neat and clean upon arrival.

** PLEASE NOTE - This property does not have a hot tub. There is a glitch in Vrbo's software showing a number of properties as having hot tubs when, in reality, they do not. If you're looking for a hot tub, our recommendation is that you confirm the presence of a hot tub with the property host if Vrbo is listing a hot tub as an amenity. **

** EXTREMELY IMPORTANT - READ BELOW **

- DO NOT GO ONTO THE PRIVATE PROPERTIES OWNED BY OUR NEIGHBORS - THESE ARE THEIR HOMES -

As a host, I feel entirely ridiculous even having to include this section within our listing.

You are welcome to use our property, enjoy walking throughout the private roads of Lancelot Shores, and even use the community beaches and boat ramp.

We’re lucky to be in a peaceful, close-knit neighborhood, and maintaining strong relationships with our neighbors is a big part of what makes our home and this community special.

For over 99.9% of our guests - this is obvious and not an issue. Unfortunately, for the 0.1% of guests who haven't quite understood this, it has caused a problem with our immediate neighbors, and they let us know EVERY TIME someone violates this rule.

That’s where you come in.

We ask—firmly and respectfully—that guests do not set foot on any neighboring property for any reason.

This includes:

** The yard and beach across the street (no sitting, walking, or passing through)

** Launching kayaks, paddleboards, or other watercraft from the private beach across the street. That is their yard - please don't even ask them if it's ok.

** Swimming or entering the water from any neighboring beach

** Using any garbage or recycling bins that are not on this property

** Taking photos or wandering onto lawns, driveways, or shared paths

Some neighboring properties have security cameras and will contact us immediately if guests trespass, even briefly. Their cameras are motion-sensored.

We know this may feel strict, but it’s part of being a great guest in our shared community.

If you have any questions about boundaries or access points, just ask—we’re happy to help. Our property lines should be fairly obvious, as are the ones for our neighbors as you navigate within our community.

Renting our home constitutes that you have read and understood this policy.

Unfortunately, if you violate this policy, you may be asked to leave without a refund for the remainder of your stay.

Thanks for your understanding and for helping us keep the peace.

There is a fire pit with a great place to gather by the water to enjoy anytime but especially at night. Drew was very accommodating and responsive with any questions. The check in and out process was no problem. I would stay here again." - "House was as described with a full kitchen, clean bathrooms and linens provided. The "highway" is basically a back country road and really isn't noticeable once inside and it feels like miles away when you are down at the sandy riverfront access. There were 2 sit on kayaks and a SUP that we were able to use. Our dogs loving diving in from the dock as well. Looking forward to when we can visit again!"

Would stay again if needed." - "We were impressed with the thoughtful touches in this cottage. Enough room for a family to spend a few days comfortably!"
