About this property

Lakeside house on Webber Pond with a small beach and stunning, peaceful views.

Welcome to the Maine House – your ultimate retreat on the shores of Webber Pond! This spacious and inviting home offers water views from every room, making it the perfect getaway to relax and recharge. We advertise exclusively on VRBO, ensuring a seamless booking experience for our guests.

Start your day with breathtaking sunrises over the water, thanks to the home’s stunning eastern exposure. The deck, overlooking the serene lake, is the ideal spot for peaceful moments as you take in the sights and sounds of local wildlife. Keep an eye out for majestic Bald Eagles hunting nearby, and listen for the iconic call of the Loons – their haunting sound will make you want to return year after year. The sandy, shallow beach area is perfect for families with children, offering easy access to the water for swimming and wading.

While we don’t offer mooring, the property has its own dock where you can tie up your boat. Just a short distance away, a public boat launch makes it easy to get out on the lake for a day of fishing and boating. Webber Pond is a top-tier fishing destination, recently ranked by the BASS organization as one of the top 100 bass fishing lakes in the U.S. Whether you’re after smallmouth or largemouth bass, lake trout, or perch, you’ll find it here – plus, in the spring, you can witness the awe-inspiring Alewife run. These fish are a feast for the bass, and you may spot Bald Eagles, Ospreys, and Great Blue Herons taking advantage of the abundance.

For outdoor adventurers, we provide two single-person kayaks and one two-person kayak, along with life jackets and flotation devices. Explore the two islands on the lake, or spend time by the lakeside fire pit to cap off a perfect day. We also have a Lilypad floating device.

If you're a golf enthusiast, Natanis Golf Course is just 2 minutes away. It’s the only course in Maine with 36 regulation holes – a must-see for golfers!

In winter, this home is a snow lover's dream. Located right on the 'ITS 85' snowmobile trail, you can ride directly to Augusta or even Canada. After a thrilling day on the trails, park your snowmobile at the house and warm up by the fireplace. Ice fishing is a favorite here, and you can watch your fishing flags from the comfort of the heated walkout level while enjoying a warm drink. Picture yourself out on the ice with a Bald Eagle perched nearby, waiting for a fish to bite!

For even more adventure, Sugarloaf is only 1 hour and 40 minutes away, and Camden Snow Bowl is just over an hour. We also offer off-season and winter rentals, perfect for those seeking a cozy retreat during colder months.

Inside, the home is cozy and fully equipped with a spacious kitchen and everything you need to make your stay comfortable. For fun, head to the game room, featuring a large bar and a foosball table with a water view. Stay connected with WiFi and enjoy the peace of mind of a cell phone-friendly environment.

We welcome dogs on a case-by-case basis, but please ask for prior approval. No cats, please.

Located just 45 minutes from Maine’s beautiful coastal destinations and 2 hours from Bar Harbor, our property is ideally located off Route 3, making it the perfect home base for exploring. You’ll find rail and hiking trails nearby, and a variety of excellent restaurants in Hallowell, including Slates and Quarry Tap Room, as well as in Augusta. Plus, it’s only 15 minutes from Colby College, in the bustling city of Waterville, making it the perfect place to stay for family weekend or graduation.

Whether you’re here for outdoor adventure, relaxation, or family fun, the Maine House offers everything you need for a memorable getaway.

We had a wonderful week at this lovely home on a beautiful, peaceful lake. The house is very well set up for an extended family with bedrooms on 3 levels and lovely common space. House was well equipped with everything we needed.The lake is not densely developed and has lots of water fowl and birds (including bald eagles!). Great for kayaking and very relaxing! The host is very responsive and helpful. We hope to come back some time soon.

Family lake house experience

We needed a lake house that could accommodate our large family and 2 dogs. Scott was more than accommodating. Excellent communication from beginning to end. The location is perfect if you want to relax and fish or travel to nearby tourist attraction towns such as Boothbay or Bangor and Portland. We had everything we needed to have an enjoyable time..

Super Stay!

Used as a base for a Colby Parents’ weekend. Perfect location set in wonderful countryside on a very pretty lake. House was super comfortable, with rooms for teens and adults alike. Unfortunately we weee busy so did not have as much time at the house as we would have liked. Still got to appreciate the beauty of the lake - the herons and eagles. All great!

Relaxing lakefront house

Scott was a lovely host, and we had a wonderful time at his home. There was plenty of room and a beautiful view to wake up to each morning. We didn’t have Verizon cell service; but the WiFi was perfect for working remotely, and the televisions worked great for the children to watch. The kitchen was well stocked, and we had everything we needed. There were many small bugs outside at night, so we had to make sure to keep the screens closed. We caught many fish in Webber Pond, and we had fun using the kayaks. We saw bald eagles multiple times which was especially exciting!

Yearly Summer Trip

Yearly fishing trip with 3 friends. Check in was a breeze. Owner was on site to greet and show us the property. Scott gave us the particulars and left us to ourselves but happy to help if there was anything we need. Boat trouble limited our fishing but the golf course nearby was perfect to fill the hours. Boat access is close, convenient and easy to launch. House was clean with all you’d need for bbq, fire ring, exterior chairs and lake front. House was comfortable and clean with all amenities required for our stay. Will be sack again next year.

A cozy and comfortable retreat!

This great home had everything we needed for a wonderful thanksgiving gathering with our Maine family! Scott was attentive, check in and check out was super easy, and the house was very clean and comfortable. The weather was pretty cold so we did not use the outside but the house was toasty upon arrival. It was perfect for cooking, football and movie watching, and competitive games of fooseball and cards. We would love to rent this house again in the summer months and take advantage of this great waterfront location. Vassalboro is beautiful and rural, but only minutes from the city of Augusta with lots of shopping and restaurants, which we took advantage of on Black Friday! Thanks Scott we loved it!!

Nice house with plenty of room

The house worked out well and nice road to walk for a long ways along the pond. The listing did say a small beach, which was true but the water was weedy and not great for swimming near the house. The listing said a coffee pot but didn’t mention a keurig, which would have been good to know so could have brought k-cups. There was a coffee pot in the closet but looked like it hadn’t been used or cleaned in a long time. I did clean it and it worked fine. Overall, we had a very nice time

Nice house; lovely view

Overall, we enjoyed our stay and it was a nice home. The owners/managers were quick with responses to questions via text. However, the one major issue we had was that the bedroom on the upper level with the queen bed was blocked off and not available to use. When I texted the owners immediately upon discovering this, I was told it was a "seasonal room" and not available in cold weather. We did not see that mentioned anywhere in the vrbo description or anywhere in the booking process. They suggested using the futon, but that is NOT a bed and it was NOT comfortable. There was never any offer to make it up to us in any way. Very disappointing. I hope they have corrected this on vrbo. Beyond that, we had no problems with our stay. There were a few cobwebs in upper corners and some dust on a light fixture or two, but overall it was very clean. We would've liked a step by step instruction sheet on operating the tv with 2 remotes and switching from regular tv to services like Netflix, but we struggled through with guesswork. Again, overall it was fine and we enjoyed our stay - aside from missing the 2nd larger bed.

Scott, the property manager met us when we arrived and showed us the property. He was great at texting directions to find the lake house. The property was gorgeous and the home was perfect for our daughter‘s fall break. We were able to enjoy cooking meals, family dinners at the dining room table and snuggling on the couch in the evenings. It was a little chilly outside, but the view of the pond was stunning! We loved sitting on the deck watching the great blue herons! Thank you, Scott!

Great vacation at The Maine House on Webber Pond

We had a great stay by the lakeside! The house was very clean and had everything we needed. Having sheets and towels provided saved lots of packing space. Having kayaks on the property meant we didn't have to bring ours. The dock was great for the fishing boat we rented (Maine Boat Rental). The property is not far from the boat launch, so that was easy. It was quiet and relaxing. We saw osprey and bald eagles catching fish, loons, ducks, a beaver, busy chipmunks, and a mink! Fishing was also good; perch, trout, bluegills, bass. We would happily stay here again!

About the host

Hosted by Scott

Host profile image
Our family purchased a camp on the lake in 1950 and we've been on the lake since then. We've offered our present home to families since 2012 and under our own management since 2013. We've had many different guests and many different wonderful stories that they have shared.

Why they chose this property

We've offered the our home for families since 2012 and under our own management since 2013. We've had many different guests stay here as well as family and friends. We stay here at various times year round when our guests aren't. It's great being 10 to 15 minutes from Augusta and Waterville yet in a quiet spot on the lake. We often take a drive to the coast being 45 minutes to Freeport, Camden or Belfast make it an easy ride. It is 2 hours from here to Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park. It's a year round residence so if it is a chilly or damp day, it won't be in the house. We are 2 minutes from Natanis Golf Course, a 36 hole golf course.

What makes this property unique

Our home was built in 1997, with all the benefits of a year-round home. We too stay here so we know what is works and doesn't for us and for our guests. We have a guest book that everyone writes about their stay. Typical thoughts about our guests' stay were phrases like; a home away from home, comfortable, fun, relaxing, decorated nicely, all the conveniences, clean. Its a home, yet it is just 40 feet from the lake with a nice lawn in between. We love just sitting out on our full length deck on the lakeside. The sun rises are beautiful. A dock which we tie our boat to for ease. The small beach makes it easy for us to return from kayaking and simply step out then pull the kayak onto shore without much effort. Plus, its great for the kids with its gradual slope. We get the fire pit going around sunset and sit around enjoying the loons and the quietness of the evening. Being seconds from the boat launch makes putting our boat in easy.
