Idyllic Lakeside Vacation

We enjoyed a week by the lake in this cozy little Maine cabin. The property offers a perfect blend of shade (under the tall pines) and sun on the dock. The lake is extremely clean and the sun porch is a perfect way to wind down after dinner.

Wonderful Cabin on the Lake

The location is amazing and we found it to be ~30 minutes from everywhere we wanted to visit in Maine. The lake was warm in July and the dock/bounce float were fun to use. The cabin itself is lovely, with comfortable beds and well stocked kitchen. Highly recommend!

Adorable cabin

Had the best coziest girls trip here. Adorable cabin which felt like borrowing from family friends. Really attentive hosts. Great location! 20 min from downtown Portland but also in the woods on a lake.

Delightful cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our time in this classic little Maine cottage. The setting on the lake is great, with a dock and a float. the decor and furnishings are wonderful. Very cozy. Our teenage son liked sleeping on the back porch. The owners are really nice and checked in to make sure we were happy. The parking is limited to only two cars, so if you can handle that this place is perfect.

Perfect weekend!

We had a wonderful time and enjoyed this property! In fact, we all decided to stay right at the cottage the entire time because the weather was perfect, the view was impressive and the eagle flying by was awesome. We prepared our meals right there, enjoyed the fire pit and slept well! We look forward to returning.

Fabulous Waterfront Getaway

This place was even better than we had anticipated! The house had everything that my family and I needed, and it was more spacious than we thought it would be. The rustic charm was exactly what we were hoping for, and it fit our kid’s needs to a T as well. We loved being able to have Portland such a short drive away, yet be totally secluded at the house. Having the waterfront access was perfect for the kids during the day, and after they went to bed my wife and I could watch the moon with our wine at the waters edge. Our hosts, John and Caroline, were great with communication and made sure we knew they were easily available if we needed anything. A perfect stay, we would love to come here again for a longer time

This is our summer "Camp". We are super excited to share it with you! We are a family of 4 with 2 kids aged 12 and 16. We live 1/2 hour away from the camp in South Portland Maine .

Why they chose this property

This property is magical. We had been looking for years for a camp just like this and we are in heaven! It has amazing vibes and such a peaceful feeling even though you are so close to a fabulous city with so much to offer.

What makes this property unique

Peaceful, clean, fresh water lake with a wonderful reputation. Off the grid feeling yet 20 mins from downtown Portland.
