Escape to the lake and experience a getaway like no other at this classic Maine cottage right on Sheepscot Lake, known as one of the lakes of Maine with the best water quality! Discover a unique perspective of the waters by launching your boat or one of the two kayaks available from the private dock. Enjoy a tranquil location, while remaining just a short drive away from many great local attractions. These include Lake St. George State Park, Sweetgrass Farm Winery and Distillery, Bicentennial Park, Damariscotta Lake State Park, Natanis Golf Course, Appleton Preserve, Waterville Opera House, The Camden Snow Bowl, Eaton Mountain Ski Area, and Pinnacle Park.

As you enter this rustic beauty, you are greeted by a well-equipped kitchen, complete with all the essentials to channel your inner chef and prepare culinary masterpieces for the crew. When mealtime is over, unwind in the welcoming living room where you can spread out comfortably, play games, and plan your next adventures after a thrilling day exploring the lake and area. The screened porch is attached to the living room, which is right on the water with a flat yard up to the lake and dock, impressive and unobstructed lake views, and cozy seating. The home also boasts an outdoor shower for rinsing off after a day in the lake, a comfy hammock, a lakefront firepit, a gas grill for summertime barbecues, and a washer/dryer.

Idyllic cabin on the pond
What a special place! We so enjoyed our stay. Plenty of water toys (kayaks, paddle boards) to play and explore the pond with. Friendly neighbors. Fun towns and hikes nearby for short excursions. Just a fantastic vacation. Thank you.
