Places to stay in Rochester

This Lakeside Retreat was a perfect weekend escape for two couples. In late September, we seemed to have the pond to ourselves and enjoyed sharing time around the firepit overlooking the lake. The Bathroom was spacious and one level up from the bedrooms downstairs. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare an excellent meal. I would highly recommend this cabin to a a small group of friends or family looking for a great location near Portland and Lake area attractions.Our host Bobbi was very responsive.

We loved staying at this apartment! It was just as beautiful and clean as pictured, and everything was perfectly designed for comfort - from the beautiful gas fireplace in the bedroom, the stunning bathroom with double sinks, incredible shower, and amazing soaking tub, and the gorgeous, spotless kitchen with everything you could need to prepare and store food. The setting was very tranquil; there was no noise from abutting properties and the view from the bedroom was so pretty. We’ve stayed at luxury hotels, and this apartment had a coziness and beauty that cannot be found in a larger chain/hotel. Kevin and Jeanne were very responsive to all our questions and provided clear instructions for our stay. We can’t wait to book again and could picture staying there absolutely any time of year and loving it! Thank you for being great hosts!

Josh and Tracy are very nice and friendly and their place is amazing! I highly recommend their place to anyone visiting the area!

The house was exactly as described and was very clean and cozy, nice private location but close to everything. We would have used the fire pit if the weather was better. Will definitely rent again

We were a group of 10+ women ranging in ages from 16 to 60 something. Moms, sisters, cousins, aunties and long time friends gathering for our annual “girls weekend”. A tradition spanning over 30 plus years, our group’s dynamics may have changed a bit - but not our excitement of coming together once a year. For the size of our group we require some standard needs: enough beds to sleep comfortably, enough bathrooms to accommodate all of us, a decent size cooking area, plenty of room for us to be social and room for all our vehicles. The Honey Bear House checked all those boxes. Kerri was very attentive to us, checking in on us at the start of the weekend and quickly responding to our texts. The house was as she describes it, plenty of dishes, silverware, cooking utensils, pots/pans, bowls & appliances, toaster & toaster oven, drip coffee & Keurig, lots of mugs! We supplemented with paper products & personal towels. Perfect spot for an extended family gathering!

We absolutely loved our stay! Plenty of room for 8 guests (and more!!) in a beautiful setting. There was many helpful amenities, like kitchen items, and plenty of towels. The location is perfectly centered to many popular things to do. James was always very responsive to questions left clear instructions. We highly recommend staying here and hope to do so again in the future.

I’m grateful that Peggy and Harry were willing to rent to us at the last minute. Our family needed a quiet respite to be together during a difficult time of loss. The solitude of the lake and woods was calming and we had plenty of room to be together. I only wish we could have stayed longer!

Beautiful spacious home for a large group. Beds were very comfortable and we all had a great time in the game room and hot tub. Very convenient location. Note: there are very few kitchen basics- remember to pack trash bags, cleaning products, paper towels, plastic wrap, cooking oil, etc
