About this property

Classic Maine Lakefront Cabin—Private dock, modern updates, 3mi to Camden Harbor

This timeless cabin is located in a secluded cove with spectacular views. The 4-acre property is situated directly on the shore of Megunticook Lake. Our multi-generational retreat is 3 miles from downtown Camden on a private, car-accessible island.

This unique property is the only pet-friendly cabin of its kind on Megunticook lake. The property consists of a main cabin and guest cabin, with three bathrooms and three bedrooms, each with two twin beds and lake views. The main cabin is centered around a great room with vaulted ceilings, fireplace, and Restoration Hardware leather sofas. A dining room, kitchen, bathroom, and primary bedroom suite make up the other rooms. The wraparound porch is perfect for meals, reading, or listening to loon calls. Steps away is the guest cabin with two bedrooms and one adjoining bathroom.

All beds have Brooklinen sheets and down comforters, perfect for a cozy night’s sleep. Each bedroom features A/C and high-speed internet connection.

Enjoy a high-end stereo system which accommodates your device via Bluetooth or go "retro" with a record player and some classic albums.

A path and stairs lead to the private dock, perfect for swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, or other adventures. Our family favorite is jumping off the dock with our dog and swimming around the secluded and sunny cove. The entire property is a nearly 4-acre retreat in a 120-year-old forest with 659-feet of waterfront in a private cove.


ADVENTURES
The dock is a perfect place to launch your daily lake adventures. Fishing in early June when the lake is quiet, to paddleboarding and swimming in the summer, or taking the canoe to peep the fall leaves; our family has loved spring, summer and fall. On clear nights, star gazing is spectacular from the dock.


BOATS
The property includes a fishing boat, canoe, and two kayaks. Need something else? Maine Sport provides kayak rentals; Maine Boat Company provides speed boats if you want a bit more speed.

This is an amazing location. One of the most beautiful lakes in Maine and close to gorgeous hikes and Camden. It is on a protected cove so almost no wind, easy paddling and perfect swimming. We had a wonderful time.

Lovely classic and cozy cabin. The bedding, kitchen and living room furniture were all top quality while still retaining the antique style of the cabin. It was chilly in September and we chose not to use the fireplace but the wall heater did a fabulous job of warming the large room. We struggled with how to tie out the boat and to figure out the TV. Both the owner and property manager were very responsive. Our only concern was the rocky entrance to the dock and that was challenging for us as older adults. The lake is beautiful and we caught a few bass off the dock and the loons were magnificent. We enjoyed Camden, Rockport, and several nearby beaches.

What a glorious spot! This 100-year-old cottage had everything we wanted for rest and relaxation with our friends. It was very private, yet close to Camden’s excellent restaurants. Our host was great at communicating and resolving our needs. Lake Megunticook was perfect for swimming and kayaking and listening to the loons. We practically lived the whole week on that dock, and often dined and chatted on the wrap-around porch. Thank you for a memorable week in Maine. We’d be delighted to come back again sometime!

If staying in a gorgeous, pristine lake is your priority then this is the spot! Waking up to sunshine & birds chirping then sitting in the dock with coffee before swimming was our idea of relaxation. The beds were comfortable & towels plush. Though, if you’re into fancy then this is not your place. It is very rustic, Maine cabin-y with a small, functional kitchen, dark woody living room and dated bathrooms. There was a fun sound system with great old records, and access to a motorboat to explore the lake, which, for us, trumped fancy amenities. We kayaked, swam, boated, cooked lobsters and explored the area. Location is close the all kinds of great stops - harbors, hikes, restaurants & shopping. Perfect place to unplug & unwind.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this extraordinary Maine lakefront retreat. From the moment we arrived, it was clear that this is a truly special property. The setting on Megunticook Lake is breathtaking—peaceful, private, and incredibly beautiful. The secluded cove, private dock, and surrounding woods made it feel like we had discovered our own little corner of Maine.The main house and guest cottage have so much character and charm. We loved the cozy great room, fireplace, comfortable beds, wraparound porch, and thoughtful touches throughout. Having the canoe, kayaks, and boat available made it so easy to enjoy the lake, and we spent hours swimming, paddling, relaxing on the dock, and simply taking in the scenery. The loons, water, forest, and quiet were unforgettable.The location is fantastic as well. The property feels wonderfully secluded, yet Camden, excellent restaurants, shopping, and beautiful hiking are all just a short drive away. It was the perfect combination of privacy and convenience.Most of all, Fred was an exceptional host. Communication was excellent, and he was thoughtful, responsive, and genuinely committed to making sure we had a wonderful stay. It is obvious that this property is deeply loved and carefully maintained.This is much more than simply a place to stay—it is a memorable Maine experience. We left feeling completely refreshed and grateful for our time here. We would return in a heartbeat!

Yes, a bit damp. In the 60s, dampness was driven out of the air by the heating needed to stay comfortable. Now it's too hot to turn on the heat. So we plan to install air conditioners at the end of this season. It's hard for me to imagine needing air conditioners in Maine, but that's the way it is now.

Quintessential Maine cabin

Lovely cabin and the perfect location on Megunticook Lake. Ample space for a family with the guest cabin. Fred and Libby were very responsive if we had any questions! Use of the motorboat and kayaks was a definite plus so we didn't have to rent them or bring our own!

We had a great week on Codman Island. The camp had everything we needed. We spent most of our week on the water, on the dock or hanging on the porch. The cove where the camp is situated was a great place for the kids to paddle and swim. Check in/out were simple. Fred and Libby were very helpful and accommodating when we had questions or requests. The beds were comfortable and fans helped keep us cool in the evenings.

A week at the lake

What a wonderful place! Megunticook Lake is just magical, and the proximity to the town of Camden is ideal. The camp is filled with everything you might need. We had a great week filled with hiking and paddling. We took day trips to Acadia and Rockland, but could have spent the whole week hanging out locally and at the cabin without getting tired of it.

Awesome location and amenities!

This camp was in a great location - close to Camden on Megunticook Lake. We used the kayaks, canoe and motor/row boat to fish and explore the huge lake. Swimming off the dock in a quiet cove was refreshing. The kitchen had all the necessary items and the large living area and dining tables held all six of us comfortably. Fred's instructions were easy to follow and we had no issues during our week's stay. We would definitely rent this camp again. Enjoy!

peaceful lakefront, close to Camden

Great location on a peaceful lake, just a few miles to the town of Camden and convenient for a day trip to Acadia National Park. The house had historic charm with modern amenities and a well-equipped kitchen. The wood burning fireplace came in handy for the cooler September mornings and evenings. The water 'toys' (boat, kayaks, canoe) were a great bonus - and the lake water was still warm enough for swimming. The host graciously and promptly responded to all of our pre-booking questions and included a thorough Welcome Guide. We enjoyed our stay.

Perfect Getaway!

We were looking forward to a week to get away and unplug with the family. While there was Wi-Fi access, we had no trouble keeping our boys engaged after hiding their devices. They kayaked, fished, canoed and leisurely read all week. Board games and cards and laughter filled the evenings. Easy drive to downtown Camden, Rockport and Rockland for dinners or shopping. Thanks for a great week!

Access to town access to hiking fabulous restaurants convenient shopping for food all around spectacular. Nature here is right in front of you with a kayak and a canoe we got up and close to the loons and the ducks and geese and even a blue heron. Would love it here and definitely will return. The owner is great as is the caretaker. No complaints.
