About this property

Steps from the beach on Sebago Lake Basin

Welcome to “Hoot Mon” Lake House! Hoot Mon Lake House is located in North Windham, Maine, an easy 30 minute drive from Portland International Jetport (PWM) and about 2 hours and 15 minutes north of Boston. Four generations of our family have spent countless summer days lounging on the beach, playing in the water and enjoying the incredible sunsets here on Sebago Basin. The Basin is a smaller outlet of Sebago Lake (connected to the larger lake by a boat-friendly passage under a bridge.) The lake is dotted with islands at the south end and home to many loons and painted turtles. Our lake house is at the end of a small lane and about ten steps from the beach. Our road is a dead end with other camps on it and is therefore a quiet and neighborly little community.

Hoot Mon has three floors and two full bathrooms. There are two private bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and an in-suite full bathroom with a stand up shower. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed and access to the second full bathroom (also with a stand up shower) through a large walk in closet. There is also a queen-sized pull-out couch upstairs. Both bedrooms have closets and dressers for your use.

The kitchen is part of an open floor plan and flows into the dining/living space with tons of windows and a panoramic view of the lake. The view is spectacular! The basement is a perfect place to hang in the evening, play a game, watch a movie, do a puzzle and relax! “Charlie’s pub” (named for our grandfather who built the house) is the main attraction down in the basement. There is also a utility room in the back with a washer/drier you are welcome to use.

Outside, the private neighborhood beach is just a few steps away. We have beach chairs and towels for your use! We also have a picnic table and grill outside so your family can enjoy the beautiful Maine evenings. There is also a small porch on the front of the house, facing the lake, which is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing evening and watch the sunset.

North Windham has lots of shopping and eating options, including Hannaford’s, Shaw’s and Walmart, which are all one mile up the street. There are many family fun activities in town as well! On Saturdays there is a farmers market in town and we are happy to recommend spots for eating and ordering takeout - whether you are looking for something close by or are up for more of an adventure, we have lots of favorite spots!

Cleaning procedures are in accordance with CDCs guidelines (you’ll receive a welcome letter when you book which outlines our cleaning procedures.) We’re simplifying the dishes & supplies in the kitchen. There will still be enough dishes for cooking & eating, however this means that if you want to use spices & oils etc for cooking you’ll have to provide that for yourself.

Lovely Lake House
The lake house, affectionately known as Hoot Man, is located on a private road, and a private beach shared by a small, friendly and well kept neighborhood. There are beautiful views of the sunset over the Sebago Lake Basin, and a peaceful quiet punctuated by the calls of the loons skimming the lake water. The house is very cozy and clean. The mini splits in the bedrooms and living room keep the cottage comfortable. Everything is in good working order, the internet is fast for remote work, and there are plenty of games for rainy days. The only thing that would have made the stay even better, would have been kayaks on the property. Casey was a great host and responded quickly to our questions!

Fantastic Family Vacation
What an incredible location and well maintained property! Our family enjoyed both the amazing beach (our children made fast friends with others vacationing nearby on the great community only beach!!) as well as took advantage to how close the property was to other activities on days the weather wasn’t cooperating with being on the beach. The property was clean and communication with the owner was so amazing and clear. Hoot Mon has a place in our family memory and heart after an incredible week!

Great stay at my favorite Maine waterfront location!
I stayed with my mother and son(12). We were familiar with the location, having previously rented homes at the same beach. I rent in the area annually, but rarely want to return to properties. This is definitely a house will return to. In addition to the two bedrooms, my son made the upstairs loft his space for the week, which was perfect. The house is clean and well appointed. All aspects of the booking and stay were ideal. We brought two kayaks and enjoyed them on the basin. The only possible improvement would be kayaks on site, rather than driving them from Maryland. However, it would not stop me and they can always be rented locally.
