The Space
Our home is designed for comfort and connection, perfectly suited for couples or families. With an open layout and dedicated spaces for relaxation, you’ll find plenty of room to spread out or gather together.
The Enclosed Porch: One of the home’s best features. Enjoy the fresh Maine air and lake views without the bugs. Outfitted with comfortable patio furniture, it’s the ideal spot for evening drinks or a rainy-day book.
The Heart of the Home: Our spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area was designed to keep the focus where it belongs: the lake. Whether you’re prepping a local Maine meal in the kitchen or gathered around the dining table, the floor to ceiling views ensure you never miss a sunset or the sight of the loons on Pocasset Lake. It is the perfect setting for shared meals and slow, sun drenched afternoons.

Home Comforts/Essentials:
Unplugged Living Areas: You won't find a TV in our main living room or the enclosed porch. These spaces are intentionally reserved for the crackle of the grill, the call of the loons, and real conversation.
The Essentials: We provide high-speed Wi-Fi for your convenience, but we encourage you to leave the laptop closed and the notifications off.
Connection Over Consumption: We’ve traded the "noise" of multiple screens for a selection of board games, puzzles, and the best "show" in Maine, the view of Pocasset Lake right outside your door.
While the property does not feature an outdoor fire pit, you can still enjoy a cozy evening by the indoor, on demand propane fireplace, perfect for relaxing with a good book at the touch of a button.
Restorative Sleep: To ensure you wake up refreshed, the only HDTV in the home is tucked away in the primary suite for a quiet movie night before bed.
Plush Linens: Fresh linens and soft towels are provided for every guest, so you can pack light and focus on the lake.

Other Things to Note
FireWood: While the property does not feature an outdoor fire pit, you can still enjoy a cozy evening by the indoor, on demand propane fireplace, perfect for relaxing with a good book at the touch of a button.
Grill: Guests are welcome to use the charcoal/propane grill. You may use the left over propane on hand from previous guests or provide your own.
Pet Policy: Please note that this property is strictly a pet-free home. We love our furry friends at our other locations, but to keep this home at its best, no pets are permitted.
Safety: The property is equipped with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and a fire extinguisher. Life jackets are provided and must be worn while using watercraft.
Maine requires that every person on board a watercraft, including kayaks and canoes, has a U.S. Coast Guard-approved life jacket that is properly fitted and in good condition.
While the law requires children under 10 to wear them at all times, we strongly encourage everyone to wear their life jackets whenever they are on the lake. Maine’s waters can be deceptively cold, and even the strongest swimmers can be caught off guard. We’ve provided an assortment of life jackets for your use. Please ensure you select the correct size. Let’s keep your lake memories safe!
Kayaks: We have assorted kayaks and a canoe, and assorted life jackets for use. A release form is required for use of kayaks/canoes.
Inclement Weather: Power outages can occur during Maine storms. We recommend travel insurance for peace of mind, as we cannot offer refunds for weather-related issues.
Early Check-In: We may be able to accommodate early check-ins or late check-outs for a $50 fee. Please contact us to request an early or late check out accommodation. Please note this is generally not available during the summer months.
One last thing! Travel insurance is a low-cost way to help protect you from any trip losses should you need to change your plans (family emergency, illness, weather e.g. hurricanes or blizzards, etc.). Without it, you risk losing all rental fees if you cancel outside of your reservation’s cancellation period and policy.
