We had a wonderful three-week stay at this beautiful lake house in Maine. The house was lovely and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. The location was absolutely perfect—we loved being right on the lake and having such a peaceful setting, the sunsets were amazing! We really enjoyed our time here and would happily come back again. It was an amazing place to spend three weeks, and we are already looking forward to our next visit!

We have rented many properties from vrbo. This was one of the best ever. The setting is unspoiled and private with beautiful views of the lake and tasteful high quality construction and decor. We enjoyed a peaceful end of summer week on the lake. We took advantage of the kayaks, barbecue and fire pit. Since we enjoy cooking we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Bryan was responsive, friendly and easy to communicate with.

Perfect Maine getaway!

From start to finish, we loved every minute of our stay at the beautiful cabin at Lake Sebasticook! All of the amenities were perfect, and we loved spending every morning and evening on the deck or sitting on the dock watching the sunset. It was hard to leave! Thank you so much for a wonderful relaxing stay!

Stunning location! Quiet and peaceful. Great swim area. Wonderful dock. The view from the porch or inside the house were lovely. The calls from the loons each night were just what we wanted to hear! Also loved that there was a ramp up to the back porch. A great stay. Bryan was very helpful!

Amazing Location and Views

Amazing property with great setup. Every morning you look out your window you see the lake. We rented a boat and tubed a lot on the lake and our kids had so much fun. Sunsets, even when it was cloudy was great too. Will be returning to this property.

Incredible Peace and Quiet

Beautiful cabin with privacy. Owner was quick to respond and provide assistance. We went all over Maine on day trips. Lots to see and do so great location. Great accommodations. Sporadic WiFi so plan accordingly. So much to do and nice excuse to unplug. Hope to be back one day!

Wonderful Stay!

We had the pleasure of staying here for a week and loved it. The property was spotless and we loved the privacy and peacefullness. The house had big beautiful windows and it was so nice waking up to the beautiful water view. The water was very clear and they have a great dock and shore to walk straight into the water, the fishing was great as well. The property is well stocked with everything you need. At night, we all enjoyed watching the fireflies light up across the backyard!

Clean and Private

We had a wonderful stay on a large but quiet lake. We had bad weather for most of our stay but it was still great. The property was immaculate and the location was pretty central to everything in Maine. The waterfront is private but very rocky. My 3 year old still enjoyed swimming in the shallow water. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a quiet vacation.

Our stay in this quiet, peaceful, well-appointed home was beyond what we had anticipated. Beds are heavenly comfortable, decor is impeccable, view of the lake and its sunsets are unmatched. My definition of the lake house is rustic-contemporary...a perfect blend of both. We have already booked for next year!

The Cabin on Sebasticook Lake

Four of us from SE PA stayed for the week of Sep 30-Oct 7, 2023. It was spectacular! View of lake, sunsets, 75 deg weather and sunny, tons of stars, great fishing (thanks for tips Bryan!), and location was perfect to take day trips. Host was awesome - informative, quick to respond, and just a really nice guy! Food was amazing everywhere we went - Bar Harbor/Cadillac Mtn/Acadia Nat’l Park, Moosehead Lake, Bangor. Perfect vacation - thanks Bryan!

Lovely lakeside getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely cabin. The lake views were stunning and we never felt crowded by the other nearby properties. The house was immaculately clean with everything you could possibly need. Communication with the owner was easy and worry-free. Some highlights of our trip: we rescued a baby bird that failed to fledge (with the help of a local avian rehab specialist); we saw a bald eagle; several blue herons enjoyed hanging out on the dock; my kiddo loved learning to kayak; and waking up to the gorgeous lake view every morning is hard to beat. 10/10 vacation spot.

About the host

Hosted by Bryan Liebenthal

Host profile image

I have been vacationing in Maine for many years with my family. We decided to build our own piece of paradise a few years back and now its complete. My family and I built the entire camp with help from our neighbors that are now are closest friends. We value the special times that we spent building the camp and all the time we have spent there since completing it. Most of the furniture was built specifically for this camp in my workshop at home.

Why they chose this property

This property is located in a very secluded area. Most of the rentals that my family and I have stayed at have had neighbors right on top of us. This area is not as built up as most lakes down in southern Maine. The camp sits on about 2 acres and has over 150 feet of lakefront. The sunsets from the deck are breathtaking!!

What makes this property unique

One of the unique features of the camp is that the entire wall facing the lake is glass. No matter where you are in the house you can see the lake. The driveway is over 400 feet long and offers plenty of parking.
