About this property

This accommodating, year-round destination provides you the flexibility and freedom to create an unforgettable vacation. A custom-built, craft-style home sitting just a few steps from the water is situated on 1.5 beautiful acres on the northeastern shore of Lake Cobbosseecontee in Manchester, Maine.

SUMMER LIVING: Slow down, connect with nature, and find peace and tranquility in the tree-lined back yard. Ducks, loons, and other wildlife are no strangers to this isolated and quiet place. Take a canoe, kayak, or paddleboard to explore the nearby brook for a different perspective of the area. Or enjoy a swim off the dock or rocky shoreline.

If you’re looking for a more fast-paced and exciting stay, this property also has a dock to moor boats or jet skis. Or utilize the spacious outdoor areas for grilling, games, and entertainment.

At the house you’ll find private as well as community spaces, hi-speed WIFI, a spacious kitchen, a dedicated work/office space, a game room, stunning views of the water, and multiple porches where you can witness the best of life on the lake, and the captivating beauty of Maine’s sunrises and sunsets.

WINTER-TIME*: Winter in Maine provides a variety of unique experiences. Once the lake has frozen over a whole new world opens up. Spend some time cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, skating, snowmobiling, or ice-fishing. Or enjoy the soft and quiet serenity of falling snow and peaceful walks through local hiking areas.

YEAR-ROUND: Even though you’re tucked away in a quiet and secluded area, you’re less than 15 minutes away from restaurants, bars, shopping, art galleries, walking and hiking trails, night life in Downtown Hallowell, Augusta and Winthrop, and much more! If you’re seeking specific experiences, day trips, or if you’re looking for ideas and recommendations, we’re happy to help provide you with information on local offerings.

PRIVATE GYM: Located in the two-bay garage you'll find a variety of equipment at your disposal. This includes a multi-function squat rack with a bench, dumbbells, aerobic step, yoga mat, and an inversion board.

*Please Note: There are inherent risks associated with participating in activities on frozen bodies of water. Please review safety materials and resources thoroughly and exercise caution.

Great winter weekend on the lake

The house was so much more than we expected. The shared living spaces were great to watch movies and play games together. We were able to have a fire outside while others skated on the lake. Great bed rooms to ensure everyone felt comfortable and had their own space.

Wedding Party House

We stayed here on our wedding weekend. It was great to stay with both our wedding parties and their +1’s all in the same place. The whole house is massive and beautiful. The kitchen is big an open. The house is literally feet away from the edge of the lake. Comfy beds, more than enough bathrooms and towels, multiple rooms for social gatherings, and nice add on amenities like a grill and fireplace. The driveway was a bit tricky to navigate at times with people coming and going, but we made it work and the landlord was communicative throughout the weekend as things came up. The only other thing that we were not clear on until we arrived was the layout of the carriage house. Maybe we just misread the listing, but there were 2 advertised bedrooms here and upon arrival we discovered one of them was a part of the downstairs living space (studio style setup). The other less than ideal element to the carriage house was there only being a half bath and therefore needing to come into the main house to shower. Certainly not a deal breaker for us. The place was still perfect and we had an amazing stay.

Beautiful and comfortable lakeside retreat

If I️ could give 4.5 stars I️ would, but this place falls just short of a perfect stay due to a few small things. First the positives: 1. The house is exceptionally clean and well maintained. 2. Towels are plentiful. 3. The gym in the garage is excellent 4. The game room is a nice touch and it was fun playing ping pong and foosball with friends. 5. The house is literally a few steps from the water, with excellent views of the lake. The reasons this isn’t a 5 star stay: 1. Three night minimum is archaic. 2. There is no Bluetooth speaker on the entire property, really? It’s 2023. There’s also no easy way to connect a phone to the home theater system. This property is for events, Make it easy to play music! 3. No welcome gift or treats. I’ve stayed at many a rental property and the best hosts provide some sort of welcome gift, snacks, or treats, especially at this price. 4. The list of chores for guests to do before checkout is tacky. I’d def stay here again, fix these few small issues and this is a perfect stay. P.s. The “no shoes in the house” rule is a weird flex but I️ respect it.
