About the host

Hosted by Sara Lyskawa

I, (Sara) am a Maine native who has deep connections to Lake Sebasticook, where it has served as the backdrop for treasured memories spanning from my childhood into adulthood. I earned my degree from the University of Maine, Orono and currently work as a clinical dietitian. My husband (Alan) Michigan-born husband (a Notre Dame graduate who works as a Mechanical Engineer) and I are now creating similar experiences for our two children; Abigail (13) and Aiden (10) who spend summers on Lake Sebasticook building lasting memories. We currently reside in South Carolina, but return to Maine several times a year to enjoy our new lakehouse with local family and friends.

Why they chose this property

Welcome to historic Camp Benson of Lake Sebasticook; a place that is very near and dear to my heart for 30+ years. My great grandparents owned a camp not too far from our current property, but unfortunately, burned down in the late 1960's. Luckily my grandparents resurrected another camp in its spot until the land/camp was eventually deeded over to my brother in the late 1980's. I have some of the most amazing memories on this lake. From learning to water ski, building play boats, fishing with my grandfather on the end of the dock, canoeing, ice fishing, ice skating, racing up and down the camp road by foot or bike, and learning to drive the boat. Lake Sebasticook is very near and dear to my heart and we are so thrilled to be able to share our cottage and this area.

For us, it is the perfect location as my immediate family is within a few miles which was a huge appeal. We truly love vacationing here as it is chance to create memories with our own family as well as an opportunity to get away from it all.

What makes this property unique

This property sits upon once what was a camp built in 1900, our first lake house purchase. Having grown up on Lake Sebasticook, it has always been my dream to own property. In 2012, my husband and I brought this dream to fruition and bought a historic camp built in 1900. However, after years of dealing with ongoing structural problems that required constant "renovation bandaids," we decided to demolish the old structure. Rather than continue patching up the century-old building, we chose to start over completely, resulting in our newly built cottage. During construction, we were able to incorporate some of the old cottage into the new cottage; incorporating decades old floor boards and pine ship lap.
