About this cottage rental
our location. Camps across on the islands can be seen at a distance. There is a 4 bed bunk room and a very large bathroom downstairs. The large living room focal point is a floor to ceiling rock fireplace and the view from a large bay window with 2 flanking windows overlooks the long water toward the mountain. The opposing shoreline has no buildings on it because the Conservation Agency and Timberlands has left much of our area pristine, with development on only certain shorelines. Canoeing, kayaking, or boating throughout the 5 connected lakes and many secluded islands can be like a wilderness trip, without sight of camps for miles of shoreline. But, you are only 5 miles from a hospital and shopping!
There is a modern laundry room behind the bathroom with an exterior exit door.
Upstairs is the big master bedroom, equal in size to the downstairs living room. Pine ceilings and walls, antique oriental rugs, a king size bed, and even a treadmill in the side niche all overlook the million dollar water and mountain view. A second bedroom is on the other side of the hall way and a full bathroom is in between. There is another bedroom upstairs, but it is our lock off room for personal items. Only the master bedroom has a wall AC, because it is usually cool at night in Maine. This camp was originally built in the early 1930's from logs imported from Germany's Black Forrest, and we added on to it in the 1980's tripling it in size. Smoking is strictly forbidden. Fires in the fire place must be kept
moderate to small in size. This camp is in a secluded location. You must park in a private Association parking lot and walk on a nice pathway approximately 50+- yards, over a pedestrian railroad crossing and past the neighbor's cabin. No vehicles are allowed on the path but we have an electric cart to carry things in. There is a dock over the water in front of our "camp". A canoe and 2 kayaks are available. Fairpoint wi-fi is available in the camp.
We have many outdoor chairs, a hammock, and a picnic table lakeside.
There are 3 TV's.Flat Screen. Cell phone use only, no hard line. Verizon works best. Wi fi too!
This camo is not suitable for young children because of all our antiques, and the closeness of the lake. Although we have just changed to instant booking, and because this is our home of decades , we will require a personal conversation when they release your phone number so we can discuss rules and regulations. We are excited to share our home with you and want to be sure in advance that it's a good fit.
