About this property

Thompson Lake(front) Getaway!

We love spending time at the camp to relax and reconnect, and we hope you do too! With 100’ of private sandy bottom waterfront on beautiful Thompson Lake, a wraparound deck with screened porch, and cozy camp for up to 9 people, it’s a perfect spot to enjoy a summer/fall/winter vacation in Maine with family & friends. The camp is located on beautiful 13 mile long Thompson Lake, one of the cleanest and most serene lakes in Maine. The sandy bottom frontage provides the perfect spot for boating, kayaking, fishing or just playing in the water. There is a public beach with deep water for swimming just across the way reachable by boat/kayak/car. Summers in Maine are fantastic, you always want to be outdoors! There is well-lit dock, and kayaks, life jackets, and floaties that are available for guest use (at your own risk.) The backyard has a firepit, grill, and a hammock, and you can take in the beautiful views of the lake from the wraparound deck with a screened porch. It is a wonderful place to enjoy a morning coffee and sunrise, laying in the sun, or bbq’ing with friends and family. The yard is flat and great for kids to play on. Keep an eye out for the 22 pairs of loons (they mate for life!), bald eagles, moose, and other wildlife.

A winter getaway is just as lovely - there are several ski mountains in the area, and easy access to snow shoeing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, tubing, sledding, and cross country skiing make this an excellent spot for family fun (or a romantic weekend!) Firewood is available for the indoor fireplace as well as the outdoor firepit. A new hot tub was added to the deck in 2021 and is just the best!

The house was recently renovated with lots of upgrades! Both bathrooms (with bathtubs) sparkle. All 3 bedrooms have new carpet and bedding is provided so the house comfortably sleeps 6-7 adults and up to 9 people total including children. The two bedrooms upstairs each have a queen size bed, and the bedroom downstairs has full bunk beds with a twin trundle. The top bunk supports up to 400 lbs but is more comfortable for kids or teens. The kitchen features new appliances, lots of counter space, and is fully stocked with all the essentials, including microwave, coffee maker, pots/pans/dishes, and lobster pot! Dining room seats 8. The living room has a fireplace, Smart TV, and fuzzy blankets – perfect for snuggling up in the fall and winter, if your visit brings you up for the gorgeous fall foliage or a winter getaway. Downstairs has a finished basement with a playroom including a leather couch, giant beanbag, and big screen TV (with a DVD player, Amazon firestick, and surround sound) as well as a newly felted pool table, dartboard and board games. The playroom has direct access to the backyard and lake via sliding glass doors. There is a pack 'n' play crib/changing table for young ones.

Thompson Lake is a diamond in the rough – it is quieter and more family friendly than the busier Sebago and Long Lakes with all of the same great activities. If you’re looking for a livelier evening you can hop down to Bridgton, Casco, or Naples, they are all a short drive away and have fun restaurants, bars, and shops.

There is plenty of parking in the driveway, please do not park on the lawn. Feel free to bring your boat if you have one. We can answer questions about sizing and where to launch so just ask!

We are dog friendly and offer discounts for repeat guests. A unique keypad code will be provided before guest arrival.

What is provided: Upon your arrival, the house will be clean with fresh sheets and towels, and stocked with the following items to get your started. Depending on the length of your stay the quantity of disposable products will vary, so you might need to supplement. But we never want anyone to arrive and not be able to use the bathroom! :0)

New sponge
Dish soap
Paper towels
Cleaning spray
Hand soap in bathrooms
Toilet paper
Toiletries basket (shampoo/conditioner/lotion/toothpaste, etc.)
Clear trash bags

The Neighborhood: The neighborhood is family friendly, with some homes occupied year-round and others that are used for vacationers. Our street is a private paved road that is quiet and well maintained in the winter making it accessible without 4-wheel drive, though that is always safer during the snowy times of year.

Sebago and Long Lakes are about 20 minutes away. Shawnee Peak is a 20 minutes, and Sunday River is under an hour away, making this a great spot for both summer and winter ski vacations. And in the fall you don't have to go far to enjoy the gorgeous foliage! The camp is 45 minutes from Portland, and ~2 hours from the Boston area.

*Outdoor security cameras are installed on the property.

Loved this property. Could not beat the beautiful sunrises and sunsets on the Lake. There were two different living room areas, which was beneficial with two teenagers.

Outstanding
Perfect place to relax and enjoy nature. My family had a wonderful week at this beautiful cabin. We had been looking forward to a vacation all summer, and it did not dissapoint. The cabin is cozy, clean, comfortable and it really felt like a home away from home. Morgan was fantastic to work with and so accomodating. Thank you for everything! I would definitely recommend staying here.

A thirtysomething who loves books, beagles, and escaping my busy life on occasion for some relaxation! I enjoy traveling and spending time with family and friends, and I love it when those two things happen together. And I love trying new food. That's my favorite part of new places - eating my way through it. :0) Looking forward to welcoming folks into our home!
