Lake Side Cabin in Maine

The property is right on the Lake and the view is incredible. The sunset is right in front of you every night and is absolutely beautiful. The Cottage is very vintage with a fireplace that we used every day in the evening and works fabulously. We BBQ every day and ate outside on the large picnic table facing the Lake. There is a screened porch that faces the Lake, and some evenings we sat looking out, then we walked down to the Dock and watched all the stars and took pictures on our iPhone with the app Star View which we captured all the stars, it was truly amazing. The kayaks & canoe are fun to take out during the day. I do recommend this Cabin, the view you will never forget.
