About this property

☼ Maine Lakefront Getaway ☼

Our beautiful Maine lakefront getaway offers all the modern conveniences in a traditional camp-style three bedroom home on the shore of pristine Sabbath Day Lake, a 1.5 mile lake in the Sebago Lakes region.

Enjoy beautiful sunsets and stunning views of the lake from our two decks, living room, kitchen and bedroom. We have a main bedroom upstairs with king-size bed and private bathroom, a bedroom on the ground floor with queen-size bed and private bathroom, and a loft area upstairs with two single beds.

We have a private beach area (size depends on water level of lake) and a shared private beach with nearby homes. Enjoy swimming, fishing, canoeing, kayaking, standup paddle boards or just sit back and listen to the loons and look for our bald eagles. Modern conveniences include a/c, dishwasher, wi-fi, washer/dryer, microwave, 50-inch TV, small office space. Newly renovated kitchen and bathrooms.

You’ll never want to leave the camp, but if you do, we are just 24 miles from Portland, 17 miles from Freeport, and minutes from the Maine Wildlife Park, Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village, Pineland Farms, and the Oxford Casino. We are also just minutes away from golf courses, shopping and restaurants.

Please let us know if you have any allergies or special requests.

This is a lovely lakeside cottage. The house is comfortable and really well-equipped, everything you need is there, especially well- equipped kitchen. It appears the owners use the house and just leave everything there. It is very homey. And the lake is beautiful. I went kayaking every day. Great to have the beach too. The interior pictures don't quite do the place justice. It is really beautifully decorated. The interior stairs are a bit steep for older folks to use the master bedroom, but manageable for most people. And the view from that bedroom is spectacular. This is the best lakeside rental we have ever had.
This was the best sunset.

Robyn calls it a "lakehouse," Jerry calls it a "camp," we hope you'll call it perfect. We live in upstate New York and have always wanted to own our own lakefront property. We graciously open it up to you to share the beauty and relaxation of Maine lakefront living.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this home to be near our darling new granddaughter in Portland and now we are blessed to have a second granddaughter! We love Portland, the Maine coast, and lakefront vacations. We graciously open up our home to you to share the beauty and relaxation of Maine lakefront living.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this place as soon as we saw it. The stunning views and private, easy access to the lake were everything we ever wanted in a vacation home.
