About this property
Charming 1920's lakefront cottage on Great Pond, sunsets from the dock
This four-bedroom cottage combines the vintage charm of a rustic lake house with modern updates to make your stay carefree. The property offers plenty of spaces for guests to relax and unwind, including an expansive screen porch overlooking 100 feet of private wooded shoreline on a quiet cove.
The outdoor areas are just right for enjoying beloved summer activities: swim, nap in a shaded hammock, and gather around the fire pit as you watch the sun set over the lake. A canoe, two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards are available, and the dock is set up to accommodate a motor boat if you wish to rent from the marina.
The cottage’s great room includes a cozy living area with a smart TV, WiFi, games, and well-stocked bookshelf. Meals can be enjoyed at the indoor dining table, or at the picnic table on the screen porch. There are two modernized rooms in the cottage: a bathroom with shower, and a well-equipped kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave. We supply linens, paper goods, cookware and some basic kitchen supplies.
Upstairs, four bedrooms provide ample sleeping space with classic Maine camp style . Each bedroom has 12-foot walls that are open to the rafters above. To preserve the historic interior, the cottage is not insulated.
PLEASE NOTE there is no air conditioning in the cottage, but each bedroom has two large windows and fans to circulate the cooler evening air.
STAIRS: guests must be able to readily navigate stairs to access all parts of the property: the entrances to the cottage, the bedrooms and the waterfront all require use of stairs.
Minimum rental is 7 nights, with arrival and departures on Saturdays. Departure time is by 10:00 am, with arrival any time after 3:00 pm.

About the host
Hosted by Lynn H

My husband and I are both from central Maine and have deep family roots here. Each of us grew up loving our grandparents' old lake camps - they were relaxed gathering places for family, and all-day fun for kids. We are now fortunate to have our own family camp on Great Pond, and are delighted to open the property to guests for a few beautiful weeks each summer.
