The house has many unique and beautiful features and is very comfortable. We enjoyed a small family Thanksgiving gathering for the second year in a row. The kitchen is well stocked with utensils, dishes, cookware, etc. We enjoyed the hot tub on the cold nights. As mentioned in the house description, a steep stairway/ladder up to the loft bedroom and an open (and very beautiful) spiral staircase would present challenges to a family with young children or someone with limited mobility. Thank you to our hosts for sharing their lovely home.

We were unable to stay at this location because when we arrived there was only 1 towel in the unit. We contacted the owner who could not get us any more towels so we immediately left to look for another place to stay.The owner was quick to respond and cancelled our reservation and refunded us what we paid

Perfect private retreat

My wife and I were looking for something unique for a weekend retreat for just the 2 of us. This place was perfect. We loved the upstairs lift where we could sit and read while looking out at the forest. The arch windows all over the place let us enjoy the woods even while we were inside. We got to enjoy the hot tub while it was raining and even a little thunder storm. And the bbq was perfect. Definitely worth the trip and would highly recommend if you were looking to have a private experience in the woods with tons of amenities.

Lovely house in Casco, ME near Sebago Lake

Wonderful sister's weekend getaway

This home was so cute. We loved the spiral staircase and loft. Plenty of room for card games and a movie. The outside grounds were inviting with a fire pit, several seating areas and the hot tub. We did not use the sauna, maybe next time. The kitchen had everything we needed to make some delicious meals. Overall a lovely place for a quiet weekend getaway.

Great getaway

My family and I stayed for about a week in April, the house is everything pictured and more. Lots of space to spread out and relax, both inside and out. The hot tub worked great even in the colder weather, and the heating system in the house kept us all nice and warm. Josh was very responsive to questions the entire trip. A great experience!

Maine Visit

Had a wonderful stay in mid-September with my wife. Property was just as advertised. In a neighborhood but you would never know it. Feels like you are in the middle of the woods. Very much enjoyed the second floor and bathroom with the large window. Hot tub was a hightlight of our stayed used it twice a day! Played golf three times during our visit. Thanks for making our stay in Maine so enjoyable.

July 4th Stay

The house was centrally located between different beaches on Sebago Lake, but I thought we would have access to Sebago Lake right at the house. The inside of the house was very clean, but the outside wasn't. We had to wash down the deck, chairs, table & clean away leaves in the pathways of the grounds. It was a beautiful, peaceful and relaxing home and we would go back again. Thank you

Hopefully the weather will cooperate. Thanks again for pointing this out Josh and Gayle

Quiet yet Accessible retreat!

My parents, 1-yr-old son, and I visited Maine for the first time in hopes of exploring a new state and combining some R & R with some adventures/exploring. We used the cabin as a home base and it provided wonderfully for our needs. We rented a car and did a long trip to Acadia one day and other trips to Boothbay. Otherwise, we remained local and went to Sebago Lake State Park a couple of times, Raymond beach + did a sunset kayak tour. Grocery and other stores are just down the road. Although the property and amenities might give the impression that it’s incredibly remote, it is quiet in a wooded area (despite being a mile or so from a main road) yet close enough to shopping and major intersections. Would definitely stay again!

My college roommates and I try and do a getaway every year, in a different location. This year was Maine and we stayed here. The house is well stocked with bedding, pillows, kitchen needs and is geared for a small family or group of friends. There were 4 of us, and it worked fine for our needs. It’s was quite relaxing and made for a nice reunion spot. It’s a bit of a funky fun house- there are lots of steps and stairs (and even a VERY steep ladder to get to the crows’ nest bedroom!) The cabin has lots of charm and amenities… sauna, hot tub, whirlpool tub in the second bathroom. But if you’re not sleeping in either bedroom, there’s no curtains/window treatments so you’ve got the pitch black of the forest around you at night and the sun of the day streaming through the rest of the time. It’s just a short walk to the lake but you can only see it (not touch it or get close) because everything is private property on the lake right there. To get to a beach, you have to drive. We went to the beach at the state park (about a 20-25 minute drive?) which is a good choice for a day trip. There is a fee and it’s 8/non-resident person, 6/resident. There’s a great quality market (The Good Life Market) with delicious deli sandwiches and lots of good quality food, wine, etc. Bob’sseafood was great for lunch (best lobster rolls of the trip) and the drive to Portland and Freeport was only about an hour away, for a day of shopping. We’d stay at the cabin again (but bring sleep masks!)

Relaxing in Casco

The home is very nice. It had everything we needed to be comfortable. While at the property, the weather was terrible, which was not the property owners fault. We were told too late to bring a fire stick for television use. That television should have been in good working order. Access to a local beach was not available to us. Due to daily rain, the hot tub was not used but was available. We did enjoy our stay and visited friends who lived locally. We recommend this property to others, but bring your a fire stick.

About the host

Hosted by Josh and Gayle Genn

Host profile image
We traveled 6 hours to view property and returned three times thereafter to marvel at it before we purchased it from the original owner, a local artist who built the house and viewed it as a work of art. We hope to continue his vision and share his passion for the intertwining of both a unique architectural structure and nature.

Why they chose this property

This quiet, relaxing home is perfect for families, couples or friends seeking to find a peaceful getaway in a secluded, picturesque setting. The home is great for unwinding after an active day of Maine Life, recharging your personal batteries, reading or writing your next novel, painting or just dreaming. It is close to all seasonal amenities be it hiking the trails, cycling, all water sports and fishing on Lake Sebago, Winter sports include snowmobiling, cross country and down hill skiing. Property is just 5 minutes from Sebago Lake State Park.
