About this property

Classic Lakefront Cottage

What does a classic Maine cottage with 300' of lakefront look like? Stay here and discover the answer! You'll enjoy loons on Upper Range Pond (a medium-sized lake), jumping off our private dock and float into beautiful clear water and using our 2 kayaks and canoe. Have dinner on the screened-in porch or make s'mores in the fire pit on the sandy beach. Wonderfully quiet, private location only 40 minutes away from Portland.

We're committed to sustainability with eco-friendly cleaning products and lighting.

THE SPACE
-- In addition to three bedrooms, there is a private loft with queen bed that's accessed through one of the bunk bedrooms. It's suitable for agile people because one needs to climb a sturdy ladder to get up to it. There is also a roll-away bed (for a child) available.

-- There are two heat sources in the main living area: a beautiful stone fireplace and a propane furnace which pumps hot air through floor grates. Please stay off the grates when furnace is on because they can get hot!

OTHER THINGS TO NOTE
-- Mid June-Labor Day: we rent Saturday to Saturday, check in 3pm (lockbox), check out 10am.

-- Outdoor propane grill is great for cookouts.

-- We supply 4 gallons of drinking water via a water cooler with additional water available nearby. The tap water is fine to bathe with, cook with (boiled) and wash dishes with. It comes from a dug well next to the cottage, but to be extra safe we ask guests not to drink water from the faucets.

-- A few stone steps lead from cottage to beach. The path is lit at night but there is also a short path through the woods.
-- The house faces west. It is a "house of light" and the sunsets are beautiful.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-- We have two kayaks and a two person canoe. Swim/use watercraft at your own risk and please wear a life jacket on kayaks/canoe. Life jackets available for kids and adults.
-- Personal watercraft (jet skis) not allowed on Upper Range Pond.
-- Please drive slowly down the road. The camp road is in good shape and driving slow helps keep it that way.

Perfect Vacation
Awesome cabin, private setting, and a nice dock for our boat. Kitchen is appointed with everything we needed. The view of the lake is amazing at sunset. We enjoyed our stay, I only wished we could have extended it. This was our second year and I’d highly recommend.
