Deserves higher than a 5-star rating

The house is amazing. Super clean, amazing view and the owner is very communicative. If I could give a higher rating I would! We would definitely love to come back some day!

Peaceful Maine getaway!

If I could give more than five stars, I would! This beautiful home was peaceful, fully equipped with everything we could conceivably need, and full of stunning views! Our host was extremely responsive and helpful. This home felt very remote and tucked away, but was only a ten minute drive to everything in town, so it was super convenient! The inside living space is on the smaller side, but with an abundance of Adirondack chairs and outdoor seating we never felt cramped! (Even with 8 adults and 2 little ones!) I cannot recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing stay with stunning views and comfortable accommodations!

Awesome stay!

This was a wonderful property! The house itself is spacious, cleaned, and well stocked. (When we got there, we wished we had brought a baby gate to prevent the little one from going upstairs, but we found one in the closet!) It’s near enough to town to run to the store if you need something, but feels very relaxing and remote. It really felt like “home away from home” for the few days we stayed. We had a 2.5 year old and 4 year old with us, and they had a blast! (They especially liked watching the little sunfish that hung out around the shore.) The lake was wonderful for swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. The host was very nice and easy to communicate with! Our family would definitely stay here again!

Perfect Maine Lake House!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Little Narrows Retreat! 4th of July week on the lake was something special - chilling by the lake, bonfire, s’mores and watching fireworks. Our objectives for the week were to chill out some days and also take day trips around central and eastern Maine (Baxter state park, Acadia and down east). Lincoln is a perfect location for that. Also the fishing (right off the dock!) was superb. Shaun was a great host - very responsive to our questions and requests. Highly recommended for a family lake house vacation in Maine.

About the host

Hosted by Shaun Wyman

I'm a hard-working professional who decided to buy a home on a lake in Maine to enjoy with my family and now I'm hoping to rent it to you as well! I'm a person--not a property management company--so you'll get a 1-on-1 customer experience when inquiring or renting. I recently purchased this home from the previous owner who also rented it out through VRBO, so that's why this is a new listing. It has been a vacation home/rental property since 2018.

Why they chose this property

I grew up spending weeks every summer on my grandmother's camp in Lincoln. As an adult it was my goal to own a property on those same Lincoln lakes for my own kids to enjoy the way I did.

Now, I can not only share this beautiful "camp" with my kids (and hopefully their kids some day), but I can share it with those who are looking for that same experience even for just a few days at a time.

What makes this property unique

Whether it's kayaking in the summer, leaf-peeping in the fall, ice-fishing or snowmobiling in the winter, the one thing that is certain is you will feel relaxed in both the indoor and outdoor space. Since I've spent a lot of time in this area in my life, feel free to ask for ideas for things to do in the area, restaurant recommendations, or even for the neighbors' names so you can say hi!
