About this property

Cozy Mid-Maine LAKEFRONT Retreat -ATV-Snowmobile-hiking trail -firepit-BBQ

Forget your worries and enjoy spectacular lake views in this Dexter private waterfront home on Lake Wassookeag. Bring your ATVs/snowmobiles to directly access the Rail Trail from our property! Enjoy the trail for relaxing walks near the waterfront. Bring your gear for great fishing year round. Prepare your meals in our galley kitchen, featuring new stainless appliances and butcher block countertops. BBQ from the deck overlooking an expansive yard and the lake. Help yourself to rhubarb & raspberries when they are in season. Listen to the loons calling in the evenings. Build a campfire and end your evenings with good conversation, s'mores, and stargazing! You'll sleep in either the King Room, Queen Room, or Upstairs Room (queen/twin trundle), or on a queen sized futon in the casual living room. Either use the guest shower or the the King bath tub/shower. You will enjoy access to nearly 1.7 acres, including a spacious backyard, a wooded side lot, direct access to the Rail Trail, and waterfront access with a dock (seasonally). The walk is about 2 minutes down to the waterfront through our yard. Four kayaks are available to explore the lake in the warmer seasons. Rooms are spacious and comfortable. We ask that if you decide to use the fire pit, to please bring your own wood. Stock up on supplies at Hannaford's grocery and Reny's variety store located within a mile in downtown Dexter. Visit antique stores along Route 7 or enjoy free wine tasting at Anthony Lee's Winery just up the road. Check out the nearby covered bridge. Find the moose at Kokadjo. You are centrally located about 45 min from Moosehead Recreational area / Greenville, 45 min from Bangor, or 1.5 hrs from Acadia National Park. Itching to get your feet wet? Sit on the edge of our dock and listen to the loons. Hop in a kayak and escape to the other side of the lake to enjoy ice cream from Lakeshore Restaurant on the water. Swim at the public beach or launch your boat from the public site nearby. The yard slopes toward the lake, with the front of our home being a level higher than the backyard. You will encounter a few steps in our home. The living room is sunken by a couple inches from the dining area. The front porch/mudroom and the King Room walk-in closet both are a step lower than the rest of the home. The lower parking lot is accessed best by a full flight of deck stairs. If you need to park in the upper driveway to avoid steps, feel free to do so. Sleeping is available in the upstairs. Enjoy your visit to the Heart of Maine!

Cozy lake house
There were too many stairs to get into the house. My husband has heart problems and the stairs were hard for him.

Excellent Stay
Spacious and clean, lovely view to the lake and central to all we needed. Excellent communication. Beds were not as comfortable as we are used to but all other amenities made up for it. Beautiful kitchen space and very comfortable living room chair and couches.

About the host

Hosted by Lisa

Host profile image
Lisa is a retired middle grades teacher who now is a Realtor® in Arizona. She loves to run, play pickleball, read, study the Bible, and sing. She dabbles in just about anything crafty! Mick is the Marketing Manager for the public mass transit system in Phoenix. He loves graphic design and playing pickleball. We have three grown children and a beautiful German shepherd named Kona!

Why they chose this property

We (Lisa and Mick) spent most of our lives in the Midwest. In 2016, we moved to Arizona, swearing we would never shovel snow again. A couple years later, our oldest son moved to Waterville, ME. We fell in love with Maine on our first visit and searched for the perfect lake property for the better part of the year. When we found this house, we fell in love! The intersection of the old and new in the home is so interesting. You get the 1929 feel of the house (with the slate flooring in the front part of the house) and the barn beams flanking the common areas, and the newness and clean lines of the modern kitchen and flooring. We both grew up with large gardens and fruit trees, and fond memories of area lakes, so this brings us both back to our childhood. The spacious yard, side wooded area, and view of the lake are incredibly relaxing areas that we hope to more fully develop over time.

What makes this property unique

The ITS Rail Trail runs through the bottom of our property. Bring your ATV or snowmobile and you have direct access! It couldn't be easier. The home is far enough away from the trail noise, and high-grade insulation was used on the house, so you don't hear the traffic inside. We are at the edge of a little cove on the lake, so it has a feeling of seclusion when you view the expanse of the lake. Lake Wassookeag is known for great fishing in all seasons. Bring your own fishing gear and make sure you have proper licensing.
