About this apartment rental
This is the first level of our home on Highland Lake.
The house has been in my family since 1954. In 1983, the first level was created by my parents for their retirement home. It has been updated since then, but remains very close to what they created.
The second level was completely redone in 2017. Jennifer and Peter continue to live there for the Summers in Maine (mid-June to mid- September), and expect to be there while the guests are there.
The property was and continues to be set up as two separate residences. There is a connecting door, but we keep that locked when the house is occupied by two separate groups (guests and owners).
The first level is a walk-out onto a deck that is 7 feet above the level of the lake.
There is a dock with the water level 5 feet deep at the end.
We face the West, so you will get spectacular sunsets. The lake is 640 acres. It is located 20 minutes from Downtown Portland, and 40 minutes from Freeport, home to LL Bean.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the property. Peter and Jennifer are excellent hosts. Our only constructive comments would be to highlight the steep staircase and high tub to any persons with a disability. We were able to circumvent the stairs by walking to the front of the property, which was an easy workaround, and we managed the tub. These are not criticisms but a heads up for others so not surprised. We loved the location and house.

Pete and Jen are wonderful hosts, and their home is beautiful. The view of the lake from the inside and outside is amazing. It was a peaceful getaway and the perfect vacation.

This lakeside is a family heirloom. We met the owner who gave us a little history of his home. It was immaculate. I loved all the little painted tiles, built in shelves; it was visually appealing. My favorite part was sitting on the deck in the morning or evening.. it was so peaceful. At night one can hear the loons. I hope to return someday. Maine is a beautiful state, and this home sits on a little piece of heaven.

This beautiful home had everything we needed for a relaxing vacation. The living space was very clean and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen and nice deck where we enjoyed the beautiful sunsets, and the lake was great for kayaking. It was also close enough to easily explore the Maine coastline. Peter and Jennifer were super hosts with great communication and easy check-in/check-out. We would definitely love to stay here again!
