| Middle Island is amazing! I have had the good fortune of returning to middle island for several years. Each time a new discovery awaits me. From the first morning light to the last call of the loons, Middle Island craddles its inhabitants and soothes their souls with recreation, relaxation and reflection. It is one of my favorite places. |

If you are looking for a quiet, relaxed vacation - this is it! We had a great time boating, swimming, strumming the guitar, reading, playing cards and relaxing. The rustic accomodations met all of our needs (we even baked a cake in the antique oven). Caretaker Eric did a swell job of orienting us to the boats and property and was available to answer any questions during the week. Our dogs loved the freedom to explore the island. The town of Sanbornville had just what we needed for the week - groceries, beer, ice and some restaurants. If you like the kind of vacation that leaves you needing a vacation, this may not be for you. But if you like a vacation that relaxes, refreshes and rejuvinates, by all means this is it. We can't wait to come back.
Thanks! |

| This place is superb in so many ways! Our family has rented several cottages on lakes in Maine or NH over the years and Middle Island is by far the best. You get sunrises and sunsets and, of course, plenty of sun in between - sun is important when you have such a beautiful lake to jump into all day long - there are even docks on both sides of the island from which to dive or cannonball. The water is very clean and my wife and kids especially appreciated the sandy bottom; it's a small lake (perhaps 2 miles by 1 mile), which means the water is warmer than larger lakes. Having the boat was a big 'plus'; we tubed daily and I appreciated that there is less traffic on this lake than on most others in the area. While I spent most of my time outdoors, including reading on the hammock or grilling supper or playing with the dog, the inside was prettier, more spacious and well designed than expected and a joyous place to hang out. We were told to expect rustic; sorry, but this cottage was several notches above that! The people were great to deal with, and the caretaker was always smiling and willing to help out; she even called a couple of times to check on us. While Middle Island is a bit pricier than other places, it is well worth it. When you consider the additional cost of renting a boat, higher prices for sunnier sides of lakes, the setting and views, and the privacy, Middle Island is hard to beat. My only hesitation in recommending it, is that I don't want it to be booked solid when we call to rent it again next year! Enjoy!!!! |

| I have a camp on this lake and we always have gone by this camp. It has the most beautiful setting and you can see any where on the lake. When ever we drive by there are always people out there and they are always having a great time. So if you are on the edge about renting this camp I would have to say go for it! |

| I have stayed on Middle Island many times several years ago and was delighted to find it on the web. I hope to spend two weeks in 2005 with my dog Max. It is a wonderful place to relax and forget the ills of the world. |
