Item Description

The wood-thrush sang on the distant shore, and the laugh of some loons, sporting in a concealed western bay, as if inspired by morning, came distinct over the lake to us, and, what was remarkable, the echo which ran round the lake was much louder than the original note; probably because, the loons being in a regularly curving bay under the mountain, we were exactly in the focus of many echoes, the sound being reflected like light from a concave mirror. Henry David Thoreau, The Maine Woods   

This quintessential Maine Cottage (3 Bed, 2 Bath) is located on beautiful Sebago Lake, with private sandy beach and deck with gorgeous views. Only 2 hours from Boston, it sleeps 7 comfortably. Two bedrooms with queen beds and one bedroom with a double bed and two twin beds. 

Enjoy a long weekend looking out over the crystal clear water; listening to the loons at night and in the morning; and sitting on the dock with a view of Mt. Washington. Let your cares slip away.

Thirty minutes from Shawnee Peak and 1 hour from Sunday River.

Twenty minutes from historic Portland, a wonderful seaport with some of America’s greatest restaurants.

Delicious Maine lobster less than a mile away!
