Great Autumn Stay
Our hosts ( John, Linda and Clutch) couldn’t have been kinder! House was great, well appointed. Lakeside with the fall leaves couldn’t have been prettier. Wish we had had the time to use the fire pit, did get to cook out on the blackstone grill. This place was a true gem!

I felt at home
Upon our very first arrival, I felt at home. My wife and I stayed month to go see our son's soccer games at UNE in Biddeford. The house is amazing appointed and was very comfortable. We had guests every weekend and we enjoys everything that Maine has to offer. We took walks down by the lake, we toured our favorite seaside towns, we went to the Fryeburg Fair and even took a long drive up to Rangeley to do some Leaf Peeping! Our hosts John, Linda and Clutch are warm and friendly and are amazing people to get to know. There is so much love and charm in the home and is a wonderful place to visit. I am back only a day and I miss my new friends, my small town way of living and best dog in town. Thanks John for everything. Your warmth and hospitality is appreciated. We'll be seeing you again!

Highly responsive hosts and CLEAN!
John and Linda's property is perfect for family gatherings with easy access to the lake and local beaches. John and Linda were attentive to every detail and very accommodating to ensure we had everything we needed- including a crockpot, blender and mixer! The Blackstone grill was my favorite (-: We would definitely stay here again. All amenities and appliances are in good working order and everything is very Clean! Thank you for going the extra mile.

Family vacation!
We loved our stay at the Gray House! The kiddos loved the lake and dock, throwing rocks in the water was sooo cool! :) they range from 2-5. John was very helpful, and our kids loved chatting with him and his dog! The “play house” outside was a popular hang out for the kids. We absolutely loved the blackstone grill and used it every night! The house was amazingly stocked and very comfy! We would absolutely stay again!

Marvellous house, beautiful lake
Spacious, clean, bright, cozy. Wonderful hosts, Linda, John, and Clutch the mostly labrador social director. Every member of the family ... sixteen of us, were able to meet there one night for a big reunion. Only eight of us slept in the house but the other eight joined us downstairs for grilling outside, supper in the kitchen, games on the TV, and lots and lots of talking and walking to the lake. The house is wonderful, the sunsets at the lake beautiful.

Great spot at serene Mousam Lake!
We had a great week at Mousam Lake. The house was super clean and decorated just perfectly. Our host Linda was so warm and welcoming answering all our questions, providing us with local recommendations and checking in to be sure we were set. There is a short walk to the dock/lake. It was manageable for our group that included kids and teens. We would recommend renting a boat if able as swimming at the sand bars is the best part on the lake. The house had plenty of room for the 8 of us. We enjoyed the fire pit and patio and kids enjoyed the small club house out back as well. Would definitely book here again.
