About this property

☼ Maine Lakefront Getaway ☼

Our beautiful Maine lakefront getaway offers all the modern conveniences in a traditional camp-style three bedroom home on the shore of pristine Sabbath Day Lake, a 1.5 mile lake in the Sebago Lakes region.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets and stunning views of the lake from our two decks, living room, kitchen and master bedroom. We have a master bedroom upstairs with king-size bed and private bathroom, a bedroom on the ground floor with queen-size bed and private bathroom, and a loft area upstairs with two single beds.

We have a private beach area and a shared private beach with nearby homes. Enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking or just sit back and listen to the loons and look for our bald eagles. Modern conveniences include a/c, dishwasher, wi-fi, washer/dryer, microwave, 50-inch TV, small office space. Newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms.

You’ll never want to leave the camp, but if you do, we are just 24 miles from Portland, 17 miles from Freeport, and minutes from the Maine Wildlife Park, Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, Pineland Farms, and the Oxford Casino. We are also just minutes away from golf courses, shopping and restaurants.

Relaxing Time

We had a wonderful stay during our trip to Maine. The house is beyond stocked with all that you need for your week - beds were comfy and the view of the pond from the master bedroom was stunning. Great location to day trip to Freeport and Portland.

Fantastic Stay!!!

Traveled from New Mexico to visit with my son. I was looking for a place which would be near my son's residence giving us a centralized place to meet. It was just a few minutes away from my son's residence. House served all our needs and was clean and neat. Beautiful views from windows and deck. Will definitely stay again!!!

A piece of paradise

Our family had a wonderful stay at Camp Serenity. Communication with the Silverman's was top-notch and the property is exactly as described. It had the best stocked kitchen out of all the rentals I've stayed in and the HOA beach access was perfect. I would highly recommend this place and chances are, we will be back.

Beautiful!

We came to Maine as a family to celebrate the life of our mother who recently passed. She loved to travel and experience new things and would have adored the lovely lake and cottage. It was fantastic and I recommend it to everyone.

Private yet close to amenities

Compact cottage with everything you might need and more. Plenty of towels and extra supplies. The beach is shady and the water is nice and shallow for small children. We especially appreciated the air conditioning upstairs and downstairs and the both the king and queen beds were very comfortable. Our hosts were quick to answer our questions about the fishing tackle and we loved seeing the hummingbirds on the window feeder. A nice bonus was the $10 lobster rolls from nearby Hannaford and our daughter in law got to see a moose for the first time at the Maine Wildlife Center.

Beautiful getaway

The entire experience from start to finish was wonderful. The home, it's location, and all it's included amenities we're just perfect. The owners were extremely responsive. It was particularly wonderful for nature lovers like ourselves having access to a canoe and kayaks and a waterfront space, as well as being nearby many outstanding hiking locations. I highly recommend this property.

We loved staying here!!! It was quaint and cozy which is what we expected. The lake was beautiful! The fishing wasn’t good but that can’t be controlled. Jerry was great with communication. This camp was close enough to everywhere we wanted to go. It made for a fabulous 2 weeks in beautiful Maine.

Great vacation.

This is an outstanding lake front property. It is well supplied, very comfortable, with a sandy beach, and great location. We had a wonderful stay. I had to drag the kids out of the lake most days. And thank goodness for the AC over that HOT weekend the east coast suffered through. It's a cottage I hope we can stay in again. Thank you

Another wonderful vacation

This cottage is well provisioned and a pleasure to stay . Clearly a lot of thought has gone into making guests feel welcome and comfortable. The lake is warm, well done Jerry. Grandkids really enjoy staying at this property. Activities and shopping close by. the only problem is having to leave after two weeks. Thanks again.

Great house - great owners. All the bells and whistles.

The Silverman’s were incredibly responsive and offered some great suggestions for fun activities in the area. The lake is beautiful and the canoe and kayaks really helped us explore. AC in the House was useful (hot patch in late August) and we explored Portland and Lewiston for dinner as well as taking a hike at Pineland farms. Thanks, JD

All We Hoped For!

The location was perfect, we specifically wanted to stay on Sabbathday Lake (SO clean!). Everything was smooth, both check-in and out. We were pleasantly surprised by how fully stocked the rental was, from plenty of towels to everything you could think of in the kitchen. The tiniest of things but we couldn't find any trash bags, no worries at all, we left a couple for the next guests! The owners obviously have thought of everything for their guests, thank you!

Everything we needed

Clean comfortable bedrooms and baths. Well stocked Kitchen that we utilized to it's fullest. The dock was to shallow to fish off of but, it would be good for swimming with kids. I did catch a nice fat brown trout off of the common dock/beach area. He's still waiting for the next lucky fisherman.

Beautiful location

Sabbathday Lake is beautiful. We loved sitting on the deck watching the day begin, and we got some great sunset shots as well. The house is very clean, very well stocked, on a private cul-de-sac with a community beach for the residents only. There is no private beach. The dock and decks are wonderful. We were surprised that the rooms are rather small and we didn’t know about the narrow, steep staircase to the master bedroom. We were very pleased with the fully equipped kitchen. Overall, the house had everything we needed and we were very happy. We even heard the loons!

Nice Lake getaway

We had a wonderful stay here. The hosts were extremely responsive to our questions and responded immediately. The home was very clean and had everything you could possibly need, and then some. There was comfortable seating in the living areas and the beds were also very comfortable. It would be awesome if there were less tree cover in the back so the view of the lake was more clear. But sitting on the dock was a beautiful view. Neighbors kept to themselves. The hosts kept a great binder of places to visit / restaurant recommendations in the area and we relied heavily on that when looking to venture out. The Maine wildlife park was amazing. My daughter loved it. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing stay on Sabbathday Lake

My husband and I just spent the most relaxing week at this property on Sabbathday Lake. We enjoyed coffee outside each morning on the dock or the upper deck, we cooked dinner on the grill a few nights, and bought lobsters and steamers at the Fisherman's Net in Gray to cook at the house. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed, and more. The lake is very peaceful, and while the house is close to neighbors we did not see a lot of activity. Those neighbors that we did see were very friendly. The house is clean and the beds are very comfortable, and our host was quick to respond to questions. We would definitely recommend this place and would not hesitate to stay there again. Overall, we had a great week! Thank you Jerry and Robyn for opening up your home to us!
