Woodland hideaway with lake access, private game room, fireplace, & luxe kitchen

Knickerbocker Lake Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tranquility awaits at this beautiful home, located steps from deeded access to Knickerbocker Lake and a mile and a half to the Maine Botanical Gardens. A three-acre manicured property and upscale interior are yours to enjoy. Wander the lush gardens, explore the woods, or relax by the garden-side firepit. The spacious deck has everything needed for sunset cookouts.

Four can share morning coffee at the butcher block kitchen bar. Then, settle in on the comfy sectional and screen a new film on the TV in the sun-soaked Great room, a social space with cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace. Downstairs, the den is stocked with books and games. Comfy furniture, a desk, and a table offer plenty of space to socialize or read. A second living room is ideal for fun-filled game nights with a pool table, foosball, and ping-pong.

Fine tile work, granite countertops, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances line the high-end kitchen. Thanks to a gas range and a roomy French-door fridge, meal preparation is a breeze. Enjoy festive meals in the eight-person dining room when your recipes are ready.

Choose between relaxing on the quiet screened porch or unwinding on the covered front porch in the evenings.

Great house in beautiful setting
This is our 2nd year renting this property. We love the wooded location, the artistic home decor, and the size of the house. A few things need attention, such as the peeling paint on the deck furniture, the rugs, and some minor plumbing issues, but overall, the house is well cared for and extremely comfortable. Very happy with Vacasa as the rental and management agent.

Boothbay Retreat
This house was great for our annual family trip of 5 people. Beds were comfy and there’s a really large shower in the master bathroom. There is practically a whole other house downstairs which would be perfect for kids. Kitchen had everything we needed. Overall a great stay.

Spacious and lovely!
We came up for Gardens Aglow at the botanical garden-conveniently right across the street! Spent some time in beautiful Boothbay and lucky enough to catch the lit up firetuck holiday parade! The home is beautifully decorated-with so many areas to spread out. We loved playing ping pong, pool, playing games in the dining room, having morning coffee by the fireplace, and just enjoying the warmth of this beautiful property. We will definitely be back in the warmer weather to enjoy the deck, gardens and porch!

Family retreat in Boothbay
We had a wonderful time at this home. The bedroom situation was perfect for us - owners suite, two bedrooms next to each of for the family with young kids and a downstairs bedroom for a single with a dog. There was so much room to spread out for different activities. Private location with Knickerbocker Lake access with a dock. We stayed during a heat wave and we were very comfortable. The screened porch was a favorite place for the adults. Everyone wants to go back again next year.

Blissful in Boothbay
Nice house in quiet location. Great kitchen!! Master bed was comfy except sheets should be replaced. The house is large with a huge finished basement. The TV in the basement was OK. The basement sofa is comfy but the primary sofa upstairs was uncomfortable. All in all... a very good property that could be great with better bed sheets and living room sofa.

Outstanding Getaway House!!
We had a great time with our adult kids. The layout of the house gave us plenty of room and bathrooms. The beds were comfotable. We loved the kitchen family room with a gas fireplace and area to connect and hang out while eating and playing cards. The game room was a perfect place to gather and play pool, foosball and ping pong. Loved the outside, we had a fire one night, it was great to gather and look at the stars on a crisp cold night. We found hiking trails close by. Unfotunately, Boothbay shops were closed forthe week as they are getting ready for Christmas. I guess we will nerd to head back!

Girls Getaway
Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have been getting away for a girls weekend for over twenty years. This was one of our favorite homes. The home was clean, beautifully decorated and had a great layout. We loved having breakfast on the deck as well as a glass of wine in the afternoon. The dining and living areas were comfortable for chatting and playing games. The bedrooms were comfortable and plenty of room for the 6 of us. We would love to come back and definitely recommend this home.

House is NOT on the lake
House was very nice and comfortable for our group of 6 adults. We enjoyed having our pet join us for the stay. House layout was awesome; house was very clean and well kept. My draw to the property was the on line description of "woodland hideaway on the lake". This was a stretch to say the least. It was a walk to the lake and NO lake/water view. The other thing to note was that we were not able to enjoy the firepit. The ticks in the yard were incredible. Overall....a very nice weekend. Management group was terrific and highly responsive.

Perfect location
My son and daughter in law got married at the Boothbay Playhouse. So, the location for my family to stay together was perfect! We even took a few days extra to sight see. It's close to the Botanical gardens, the aquarium, walking and site seeing. It was a wonderful wedding weekend!

Comfortable luxury - every need well met!
A lovely Boothbay Harbor treasure - minutes away from Botanical Gardens and several lovely dog-friendly hiking trails. The house was spacious, comfortable, with several excellent spaces for whole family gatherings. We were 2 families spread across 2 homes. This home offered a fabulous game room with pool table, foosball, large tv and ping pong not to mention puzzles, board games, and younger children's toys galore. The kitchen/living room offered an open layout so the family cook(s) could converse comfortably with the others while prepping meals. Kitchen had everything we needed including a small mixer for the last minute cake pop extravaganza. Comfortable couches for lounging. Reliable appliances including dishwasher and the washer and dryer. A/C worked fabulously although after the 1st day we had no need because with lower temperatures the ceiling fans were more than sufficient to keep us cool. We loved being far enough away from a well traveled road that we could be outside with our dogs without having to worry about cars. The fenced in back yard was a bonus. Water pressure was great where it mattered most - the showers! Bedrooms were spacious and well-equipped. All 3 bathrooms were roomy with either shower or tub or both.

Beautiful home
The house itself and location were beautiful and perfect for our group of 7 adults! The open kitchen and screen porch were our favorite spots, with gorgeous views of the changing fall leaves. It was a quick drive downtown where we spent most of the day and we had a lovely walk around the quiet back roads.

Beautiful house
The house was in a great location, very private and close to town. It accommodated our group of 4 couples very well. It was very nicely furnished and comfortable. We stayed in the bedroom on the lower level where the bathroom had a pump out system, which was a learning experience which included alarms and reset buttons, but not a problem once understood. The kitchen could have included more pots and pans (like a lobster pot), so cooking was not ideal - however, there was enough silverware and dishes/glasses. All in all, we liked it and would return.

Perfect weekend! Great location!
The house was absolutely gorgeous, clean and spacious. Our family had a wonderful time! My only bugaboo was that we wanted to use the firepit in the backyard, but the area was rusty and a little overgrown with weeds, so we didn’t feel comfortable using that amenity.
