About this property

Welcome to one of the most unique homes in the state of Maine!

Got a smaller group? Talk to us and see if we can come up with a fair price for your group. This only applies in the off season.

Holiday weekends are generally a 3 night stay requirement. Peak Summer we rent Friday to Friday and renters love it because when you arrive you get a whole weekend AND you avoid the awful Saturday Summer traffic.

This unique and historic lakefront home nestled in the foothills of the White mountains is one of very few in the area able to accommodate large groups under one roof. Owned by a real train engineer, the house has lots of railroad nostalgia sure to thrill all. We boast the largest yard on the lake, great for weddings and summer fun. A Hot tub, horseshoe pit, fire pit, a swing set and sandbox for the kids, a boathouse and a store/restaurant right down the street are amenities hard to find elsewhere.
The house faces to the west which means you will be on the sunny side of the lake, lots of sun and great sunsets. Our huge deck and screened porch afford great views. There are 2 living rooms, each has a cable TV. There is a Pool table, foosball,fireplace, giant, fully equipped kitchen/dining room with woodstove, 2 fridges, 3 freezers, 2 ovens and 9 burners. We do have a nice relaxing hot tub. A separate hot tub fee will apply. Pets are welcome, a pet fee will apply.

The owner being a railroad engineer has put his railroad touch to the home inside and out. Your kids will love the theme.
The home affords large groups to spread out or congregate in our massive main living room.

Great location and outdoor space but could use some home improvements.

Great Location. The water was great for swimming and kayaking. The lawn, access to the water and fire pit area were great. Plenty of parking. We enjoyed the kitchen and upper living room area. We loved the small second table in the kitchen. It was great for games. We loved having 2 refrigerators and it was helpful to have a washer and dryer. The house layout worked well for our large group. The house however could use some improvements. The beds were uncomfortable. New mattresses, pillows and sheets would go a long way. It could use AC units to reduce the humidity /dampness and cool the place off. There were plenty of fans, but almost all the bedrooms were still very hot. The middle living room could use more lighting and the carpet and furniture felt damp. The beds on the bottom floor were not useable for us as even with the dehumidifier running, it was too musty to sleep in. We were disappointed that the rowboat and pedal boat listed in amenities were not there. The internet kept cutting out for us (although that might not be a bad thing when on vacation). In general, the weekly cleaning seemed fine, but the house could use a good spring cleaning to remove the dust in the corners. Overall, a few upgrades could go a long way to improve the experience, but the water and outdoor space was awesome.

About the host

Hosted by Jonny Wells

Why they chose this property

OF course, the lake was the # 1 alluring factor when we purchased the home but the capability the house has is immense. Imagine if you will my band playing in front of the fireplace in the huge living room while our friends are dancing, playing pool and carrying on. Meanwhile, with the french doors at the far end of the kitchen closed to the bedroom side of the house, all our kids are all fast asleep, undisturbed by the music!
Another example.. We had a skit night and the living room became the stage and everyone sat in the dining/kitchen area to watch the kids perform as well as some pretty bizarre adult skits.
Another fun thing we can do is a 'Team paddle' across the lake and hike Mount Christopher to the summit (an easy hike) and catch the great views of the area.
At night, the fire pit is the #1 draw, easy access from the front door.
We love the region and have made some great friendships there. Our caretaker, cleaners, carpenters, plumber, electrician are second to none and do great work keeping the house chugging along.

What makes this property unique

The location is wonderful facing the lake, watching the awesome sunsets, hearing the loons.
Between the set up of the house, the large yard, and the huge dock, it is very easy for large groups to spread out and never feel crowded. Picture your group... Kids swimming, some adults playing a game of croquet, teenagers paddling around in the canoes, grandparents sitting in the screened porch watching the fun, Dad cooking burgers and dogs on the grille, more kids on the swings, 4 adults playing a competitive game of horseshoes and a few more folks relaxing in the hot tub... Oh, and 'Uncle Ed' taking a nap under the shade of our weeping willow tree.... All going on at the same time. Picture your extended family and you will fully understand how the uniqueness of this home and surroundings has been a true winner for so many families since we purchased this great property in 1998.
