Hillside retreat for family and friends, or a get-away for just two.
Access to nearby lakes, ponds and country villages.
Walking paths from the house to the top of Douglas Mountain (the highest point in Cumberland County).
Come hang out on the porch, read by the hearth, and dine around the large diningroom table with your friends and family in this historic home.
Discover this 7-bedroom house in the hills of Sebago. With a mix of queen, king, full, and twin beds, the tranquil setting invites guests to unwind and enjoy peaceful moments together. Whether gathering in spacious rooms or relaxing quietly, this home offers a perfect retreat. Relax and enjoy everything Sebago and our house have to offer.
This home has a storied history, and is registered with the National Register of Historic Places. It has old-style charm with many modern updates. It is bordered by a blueberry field where you can pick wild blueberries when in season, and you can walk to the top of Douglas Mountain from the back door. Views of sunsets over the White Mountains (Mount Washington) are a short wooded walk away.
We provide a pass to the Town of Sebago beach on Sebago Lake, and Cornish, Bridgton, Fryeburg and North Conway are all interesting towns to the west. To the east, Gorham, Portland and ocean drives are easily accessible day trips.
Although this is a large house that accommodates more people, my husband and I love to stay here, just the two of us. We read by the hearth in the evenings, and have our morning coffee on the covered porch.

About the host
Hosted by Peter Jeffery and Margaret Jeffery
We are the third generation of stewards to this property. My grandparents, Betty and Kilton, rented this property from the 1950s until the 1990s, then parents, Bob and Martha, rented it out until recently. Peter and I have made some important upgrades and it looks great! We have awesome recurring renters - three families raised their children coming to this location, and now the children have children of their own. Other past renters have bought the abutting cottage, and share our love for the hills of Sebago year-round.
We are excited to share the property as our forebears did. We know that you will love it!
This home provides a refreshing portal to a relaxed lifestyle. If you insist on modern, this is not for you! ... or maybe you need to experience the tranquil space and simple beauty that this home provides. The home abuts forested hillside with trails that lead to Douglas Mountain and Coyle, with expansive views west to Mount Washington, east over Sebago Lake, and north to the far horizon. A blueberry field is out the back door, for easy picking before you make your blueberry pancakes for breakfast. Sebago Lake, Hancock Pond, Saco River and Peabody Pond are each a short drive away, ready to launch your canoe or kayak. Antiquing in Cornish and exploring the other quaint towns of western Maine provide hours of fun.
Why they chose this property
This home has been in my family for three generations. My grandparents purchased it in the 1950's, and they, and then my parents, rented it for years. Previously, the Dykes owned the property from 1800 until the 1930s, and this home was built prior to 1927 as the annex to the Dyke Mountain Inn that was across the country road.
What makes this property unique
This property originated as the annex to the inn across the country road. It is now on the National Registry of Historic Places. The home was built in the 1920s for summer visitors, and it continues to serve as a beautiful destination for summer visitors.
