About this property

Lake view home with water access

Although this home was remodeled recently it still maintains that Maine country, cottage feel. With pine cathedral ceilings, open concept, a stone fireplace thatā€™s been converted to electric for convenience and a loft that boast a cozy comfortable place to sleep for up to 4* people. The first floor master bedroom has a newly constructed balcony where you can sit and relax and catch the last rays of sunshine for the day.
The kitchen has new appliances and cupboards and all you need to cook for your family.
The front lawn offers a fireplace, a large play area, and abuts a quiet dirt road.

Escape to this lovely 2-bedroom Standish retreat. Unwind in the serene living room with views of the beautiful Watchic lake. Enjoy the convenience of WiFi, a hair dryer, washer, dryer and dishwasher during your stay.

Fire up the grill on the spacious wrap-around deck and enjoy dinner with a view, then wind down the evening with cozy conversations around the fire pit making memories under the stars.

Just a short walk from the property, launch the canoe or kayaks for a peaceful paddle on the lake perfect for exploring nature and soaking in the serenity.

This home has a flight of stairs to access it however we can offer an electric stairlift if needed.

This house is well maintained and we pride ourselves on cleanliness.

The owners respond quickly to their guest needs.
We hope you will consider staying here for your vacation getaway or even if your just passing through for a few nights.

We were so pleased with our stay here! Everything was very clean, the location was perfect and the hosts were so friendly and accommodating. It was exactly what we were looking for. Unfortunately, we didn't have time to use the kayaks or grill, or have a fire in the fire pit, but it was awesome they were available! We'd definitely recommend staying here!

This is our second time staying at this lovely home and it was even more memorable with all my little ones. I was able to have wonderful star gazing with a fire going in the fire pit and had enough space for the kiddos to run around. The house was as described, clean and cozy. The lake was less than 5 minute away with kayaks and fishing equipment provided. Thank you to Susan and Raymond for the great hosting.

Relaxing getaway

The property is beautiful! Short walk to the lake and amenities are only about a five minute drive away. Within 30min of Old Orchard Beach and Portland, and 15 min from Sebago. We really enjoyed early mornings paddles on the crystal clear lake! Would definitely stay again.

Cute little house. You can see the lake from the house and there was a canoe we paddled out on the lake.Nice deck with grill and firepit in the yard. Only downside was closeness to the main road. A bit loud at times

Camp by Watchic Lake

Great stay. Home was super clean and nicely updated. Beds were comfortable. The lake access is just a few minute walk down a dirt road. Kayaking was excellent. There is even a small view of the lake from the deck which was a nice surprise. Fire pit was wondering to sit and relax and the end of the day. Would recommend!

Nice & cozy house, just a few minutes from the lake

We had a great time staying at this property. It seemed to be recently renovated and it was super clean when we arrived. The coffee bar was such a wonderful idea. The kids enjoyed using the two kayaks, too bad there was no canoe in the property. Overall, we were very pleased with our choice and we recommend this property, especially for families with kids.

Beautiful cabin!

Beautifully remodeled cabin that was perfect for my wife and I and our three kids. The kids love sleeping up in the loft, and my wife and I loved all the amazing extra touches to make the stay pleasant. The coffee bar area was nicer than anything Iā€™ve ever seen! Also just a short walk to the lake where are you can kayak/swim/etc., perfect for kids. There are a few ring cameras outside that would have been nice to know about, but otherwise everything was wonderful!

Family in Maine

Our family enjoyed the A-frame house. Perfect for the five of us. Kayaking just a short walk to the boat ramp was fun. Well stocked kitchen for cooking family meals together was great fun. Shirt drives to Sebago, Orchard Beach, Kennebunk and Portland. The Alagash Brewery tour was enjoyed plus outstanding lobster rolls. Great time had by all.

5 Star Stay!!

Lovely place, easily convenient to whatever you want to go on southern Maine, Portland area! Beautifully appointed to make it a home away from home. Plus lots of wonderful additions like coffee and hot coco bar, a s'mores box with fire wood for that summer evening bonfire. A special place hosted by a very responsive host. ... You will not go wrong with this decision!!

My husband and our two daughters spent the week in this wonderful lake house. The location is perfect, the home itself has been recently remodeled into an ideal Maine vacation getaway. The communication from the owner was always prompt, and thoughtful. We loved the fire pit, the coffee bar, and our daughters favorite the smores box! 10/10 without a doubt!

Newly remodeled home with great features; from the coffee bar to the sā€™mores box, the fire pit, the deck, the lighting, the kayaks. You canā€™t go wrong here! Lake access is a short tenth of a mile and the lake is so nice! Canā€™t say enough good things about Raymond and Susanā€™s rental.
