About this property

Highland Lake House

Highland Lake House is a rare example of a private lakeside retreat, sited on level, natural terrain with over 250' of water frontage. Situated on a point, this is one of the few places on the lake where you can enjoy both full sunrise and partial sunset. This property comes with 2 docks and the deepest part of the lake is just a stone's throw away to enjoy boating, fishing and water sports. Highland Lake is 2 hours by car from Boston and 20 minutes from Portland. This 3 bedroom home with 4 beds (1 king, 1 queen, 2 twins), 1 folding bed, and 2 full baths, was originally built as a cottage in 1910, and since then has been converted to a year round home with a modern kitchen and amenities. Memorable features include a sandy beach, garage, on demand generator and a classic Victorian cottage look, complete with a turret and large wrap around porch with gorgeous panoramic views of Highland Lake. This is an excellent place to stay anytime of the year. In the spring the new plant and leaf growth is pretty, in the summer the lake is very nice for many activities, in the fall the leaf colors are beautiful, and in the winter the frozen lake offers interesting views and adventures.

Two Great Weeks
We enjoyed everything about the Highland Lake House! Matt has made sure that everything you could need for a relaxing, fun vacation is provided. Kitchen’s well stocked, we loved using the kayaks, paddle boards, and pedal boats, beds are comfy, AC if you need it, great wrap around porch and screened in porch, plenty of room for our family of 6. We highly recommend this great home!

beautiful well appointed property
We had 6 adults and there was plenty of space. Two large bathrooms very well appointed. The property was neat and clean. We enjoyed paddle boarding on the lake and going to Portland. Highly recommend this property. The kitchen was a hit with the folks on our trip who like to cook. The AC in each room kept the home cool even in the heat wave. Owner was responsive and easy to work with.
