Charming, Private & Peaceful Waterfront Farmhouse, Studio and Camp

Rented Saturday to Saturday during the summer season the completely renovated Gott Farm sleeps 8 (including the Camp that sits lakeside). The Studio (queen bed and a spinet piano) is available for additional $500 a week (Including cleaning). During the beautiful fall season, rentals are opened up to a minimum of two nights, not limited to the weekends.

Staying at the Gott Farm is taking a step out of hectic daily life and into a place that allows you to be as busy or quiet as you choose.

There is a rear deck with a propane grill and outdoor furniture, and another patio with a great lake view and outdoor table and chairs. There is a wooden picnic table down lakeside, overlooking the water.

The farm has blueberry bushes, blackberries and raspberries. Wildlife is all around, all the year round. There are eagles, osprey, vultures and loons as well as all the smaller birds of the meadows and woods. There are deer and fox, porcupine and wild turkeys that roam across the farm.

There are fields and woods to explore and play in. And a tree swing.

The lake is famous for its bass tournaments so if you like to fish you are in luck! The lake has two public access boat launches, and is large enough for guests to enjoy sailing, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, almost any kind of water sport (except no jet skis). Swimming, snorkeling, or just floating, the lake is the place to be on hot summer days!

The Village of Wayne and nearby Winthrop will provide everything you need for a complete getaway. But if you want to see the sights, the Wondrous Wayne website outlines many day trips, attractions and activities within easy driving distance. There are hikes up nearby "mountains" and down to a neighboring lake, perfect for children, with a picnic at the end and a different route to return. The Monmouth Theater, at the south end of the Lake, is a New York summer stock specialty.

With 10 acres of fields and woods, 450 ft of lakeshore and a dock that takes you out over the water, with stone fence lines that vector deep into the woods, the farm continues to be a serene retreat from a hectic world.

The farm itself has all kinds of room outdoors for running and hiding and playing. The lake is its own irresistible attraction. The Androscoggin Yacht Club has the best sandy beaches and facilities for families. Be our guest!

If you want to explore central Maine and the oceanfront, it's only a little over an hour's drive to Reid State Park on the ocean. With a stop at the A-1 Diner in Gardiner, that's a day trip that always brings satisfaction. Going to Belfast and Camden take you to Penobscot Bay, a glorious place! Portland, one of the most talked about small cities on the east coast, is just an hour southeast.

If you like shopping, the giant and ever-expanding Marketplace Mall in Augusta can't be beat. Plus, Freeport is only 30 miles away to the south.

You always return home to the quiet, the wind in the trees, and at night, the call of the great horned owls down in the woods. Perfect.
