Great place!
Short gap was amazing! We loved the farmers daughter, OG, and the Hungry Trout :) The waterfront was great and I would definitely recommend :)

Morton and Furbish Vacation Rentals response: We are so glad you had such an amazing time! We would love to have you back next year :)))

Morton & Furbish went above and beyond. They brought a gas grill for us to use since the one at the cabin is a griddle & not a grill. They were extremely helpful and very quick to respond to any issues. The cabin is lovely and very comfortable.

Love the lake life
My family and I spent 2 weeks at short gap cabin. It is a lovely cabin which is beautifully decorated and furnished. The covered porch was great for sitting and for eating our meals while enjoying the view and sounds of the lake. The dock was also a great place to sit and enjoy looking at the lake and have your morning coffee. The cabin's location on the lake is great with a view of the open lake and the mountains. We definitely plan on coming back again. Morton & Furbish customer service was excellent.

Short Gap Stay
Our 2 week stay at Short Gap was excellent. The position of this lovely cabin on Rangeley is perfectly situated in the quiet West end of Rangeley Lake, but with the view of the mountains behind Rangeley. The sunrises were spectacular and the water quality is superb. The cabin has everything we needed, and provided for comfort during our stay. We would have rated the cabin 5 stars had it had more of a chef's kitchen in terms of tools (cookware and utensils). Great stay and great neighbors in the area. Will stay again!
