Outstanding retreat at the end of the road…but the beginning of an excellent adventure. Gabe was a terrific host, dropped in after check in to say hello. We saw him first thing the next morning too, as the electric went down, power line break…he wanted to be sure we had aux heat, if needed.
House is located just one mile from Mt Chase Lodge/Shin Pond Village, easy access by snowmobile, down the road and shortcut trail. Gorgeous place, modern as advertised, nice view of the lake, spacious parking. Fully provisioned kitchen, bedrooms, bathroom, everything you’ll need.
Large LED TV in the family room, Internet access was stable, plenty of heat/light, all the comforts of home. Full bath downstairs had an awesome shower with great water pressure, feels great after a long day on the sleds. Plenty of towels, bath/hand/face, beds were made and ready as advertised. Full size washer/dryer if needed. First floor bedroom is king bed, upstairs loft has two rooms, one queen and two doubles. Plenty of space. There is a half bath upstairs too, very convenient for the second floor guests.
The open floor plan included a nice breakfast bar with two comfy bar stools, supplementing the large table with six chairs. Plenty of space for four singles, or even three couples…we were only three, as our fourth had an appendectomy that kept him from making the trip. Bummer.
All in all, the title says it all, stay here, that is all. Gabe is really nice guy, grew up locally and makes his living in the area. I only wish we could have shared a growler or two with him, from Katadhin Brewing in Patten, 10 miles down the road. Next time Gabe…thank you!
