About this house rental
WATERFRONT on Crystal Lake! This quintessential chalet-style home sits on quiet Crystal Lake with 150 feet of private shoreline, private dock and swim platform for guest use, and close to a public town beach perfect for swimming! Perfect for your family getaway.
Maximum of 8 adults age 21+. Bunk beds are for children only.
Our large 3,700 square ft open-floor plan home has space for the whole family! Enjoy our walk-out lower level game room with Foosball and ping pong tables, plenty of games and puzzles, and a large TV viewing area with variety of DVDs to keep the kids occupied while the adults lounge on our comfy over-sized sofas on the main level in front of our large wood burning fireplace or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck while listening to music using our built-in Sonos sound system. Prepare gourmet meals in the expansive fully-equipped chef's kitchen with seating for everyone.
In the warmer weather months, take one of our 3 kayaks out on the calm water, grill burgers on our large 6-burner grill connected to our house propane system, and enjoy the evening in our screened-in gazebo. Feel free to tie off your boat on our dock or rent a boat from Harrison Marina 5 minutes away on Long Lake.
In cooler weather, jump on your snowmobile and ride on a local trail right on the frozen lake and take it to access 10,000+ miles of Maine's Interconnected Trail System (ITS) or drive 20 minutes to Shawnee Peak to ski on one of their over 40 trails, 7 glades, and 3 terrain parks - nighttime skiing too! Ice fishing is available on Crystal Lake and Long Lake. Cozy up to our one of a kind suspended wood fireplace while you watch the snow fall through our floor to ceiling windows.

What an amazing place. We will come again

Booked the chalet for our annual multi family getaway, and the location could not have been more perfect. The house is perfect for gathering people together, gave each couple a private area and plenty of play space for the kids. The property had everything we needed and was very clean upon arrival. Would highly recommend!

Our family truly enjoyed our stay at this custom Crystal Lake home. It has a large open concept that is plenty of room for our group of 12. It was clean and well stocked. Linens and bath towels were provided as well. The lake was perfect for swimming and fishing. There were alot of steps to get to and from the lake but it was mostly a gradual climb. The decking is in need of updating but that would not deter me from renting. It was older but safe. The owners were quick with a response for all of our questions. I would highly recommend this property for your next family getaway.

While it’s a beautiful property on a stunning lake, the house itself is a bit run down. We stayed with 4 families & kids ranging 8mo-12. The kids had a blast jumping off the dock, the lake was warm. The downstairs was great for kids, lots of toys, games and movies. However there was a very musty smell when we arrived.Turns out the bathroom toilet was leaking & the floor was soaked when we arrived.We turned the water off so it was OOO, but all the kids were on that level as well as one couple so it was disruptive to not have a working bathroom for all the guests on their level.The owner was very responsive and was able to get a plumber over pretty quickly, however the problem was only fixed for a short time and the toilet started running and leaking again. We had to turn the water off and could not use the bathroom the entire trip. The appliances were very temperamental and we had a hard time cooking on the stove. It’s a beautiful wolf stove but very old and a lot of burners don’t work. That being said, it did the job.Most every bed was so uncomfortable every guest was complaining by day 2. People were taking turns sleeping on the couches, which were comfortable.The biggest issue I had with the house was the deck. It was beautiful but so old and rotted. It was extremely dangerous and honestly should not be in use at all. If you leaned up against after a few drinks it could’ve easily snapped resulting in a very bad outcome. All and all I would give the house a 6/10.
