About this property
Cozy Open Concept Lake House with Large Deck & Waterfront, perfect for families!
You're bound to fall in love with our charming lakeside family camp surrounded by old growth pines. We're renting out our cabin on Lake Messalonskee (known to locals as Snow Pond) in Central Maine that we've loved for decades. The cabin is characterized by the 'great room' encompassing the a generous living room space and open kitchen/dining room, two bedrooms with queen beds (the main bedroom has a full en-suite bathroom) plus a loft with two twin beds (perfect for kids!), and a pull-out sofa and futon in the main room (2 full bathrooms, in total). There's a fire pit by the water, a grill on the deck, many comfy chairs to lounge in, and a screened-in tree house. Clearly the luckiest part is being right on the water. So much to do around here! We've got kayaks, tubes for the water, noodles, a water trampoline, etc. it’s a great place to swim. You'll be all set for a beautiful stay on the water, living the slow life.
The house is ideal for 2-6 people. More info on bedrooms: there are two bedrooms with queen beds, each of which comfortably sleep two people. Then there’s a loft that works for kids. If additional space is necessary, there’s a futon that folds out to be a bit larger than a twin bed, and a pull-out couch that can sleep two— but the house would feel crowded! Both the futon and the pull-out couch are in the main living area.
Towels (bath & beach), linens, and some toiletries provided. If renting in September, we can discuss the possibility of use of the wood stove in the event of chilly temps in the evening.
To be clear, this is a rustic cabin in the woods (not luxury-- but totally charming!). It is our little slice of heaven. We'd be thrilled to share it with you!

About the host
Hosted by Jo-Ann Sternberg

We recently bought a new year-round home down the lake and would love to share our beloved cabin with renters. It's our oasis. Our kids have grown up here each summer, spending all day in the water, enjoying the afternoon light, playing in the lake until nightfall... Looking forward to greeting you!
