Cozy Year-round House right outside Portland Maine on Highland Lake.
Just finished renovations!!!!! The perfect year round get-a-way. Sit, relax and enjoy the beautiful view of the lake any time of the year. You will feel miles way from it all even though you are just outside of Portland Maine. Our year round camp is located on Highland Lake It is the quintessential location to enjoy all the things Maine can offer. We are just a short drive to the beautiful Maine beaches and our local ski resort. Shawnee Peak We are an hour to the White Moutains and forty minutes to Freeport. Sit out by the fire pit and listen to the loons as you watch the moon rise, or take out one of our kayaks and float in peace. Our camp offer a paddle boat, four kayaks, and a canoe. (Lifejackets included) A 50 feet dock to fish off of. There is a trampoline raft in the water and several floats for all to enjoy. We have croquet set, a bocce ball set and a small volleyball/badminton set that can be set up in the back yard In the winter you can go x country skiing, ice fishing or snowmobiling right out the front door. The owners live next door so if you forgot anything,or need help finding your way around, just ask and we will help you out.
Have fun sitting around the fire pit, but please remember that our camp is surrounded by year-round residents and work during the week, so we ask that you honor a 11:00p.m. quiet hour. If you have questions feel free to call or text me at 207-332- 8688.
Milfoil Protection: We ask that you check any fishing gear and your boat for milfoil. Our lake is one of a few left in Maine that is free of milfoil. Please note that the dock and trampoline raft are seasonal and will be only available from June to Labor Day Weekend.
Parking is limited. Two cars!

My wife and I stay for a long weekend, had a great time! Anything you might need is provided, watched the sun rise over the lake right from the dinning table, enjoyed the gas fireplace at night. Off the beaten path but not really 5min and your on the main drag with a multitude of stores. I'm sure its even nicer in the warm weather.
We had a wonderful 3-week stay at this comfortable lakeside home. Quiet location on a beautiful lake, easy drive to Portland city and airport. Lots of towns and nature walks to explore. Donna is very available and hospitable. Two king size beds is a bonus. Highly recommend!
What we enjoyed the most, besides the beautiful cottage, amenities, and location, was the Lake.
The calmness of the early morning views, and the easy accessibility, just to name a few. And of course, the incredible variety of birds, and their beautiful birdsongs. Our favorite was listening to calls of the loons echoing across the lake.
Host was very attentive and responsive to any question . The cozy house exceeded our expectations and provided for a most memorable Thanksgiving family gathering
We LOVED our stay! The cabin is so comfy and clean. The lake is amazing! The host thinks of EVERYTHING to make your stay enjoyable...from plenty of towels to lifejackets to fans to dishes...the list goes on. It's a great location in the quiet but not far from stores and restaurants. There was a bad storm that rolled through right before we got there but Donna came over right away to make sure we had settled in ok. I would recommend this place to anyone asking for a peaceful place to stay and if I ever venture back to Maine I would stay here in a heartbeat!
Very nice house off the beaten path, yet close enough to all activities. Nestled in the woods on a lake made for very relaxing down time. Beds were super comfortable which was a huge plus. Perfect stay!
This lakeside home was comfortable, roomie, and exceeded our expectations. With updated finishes and a lot of kitchen and living space, this was the perfect space for a group of girls!
Excellent accommodations, wish we had stayed longer! Nice to be a short drive from the city, and at the same time be in a nice quiet woodsy area right on the lake! We loved the games area downstairs, and enjoyed boating with the kayaks and paddle boat provided. Lovely view of the lake from the kitchen /dining area. Excellent communications with the host.
We visited in February for some winter R & R and the house didn't disappoint! It was spotless and had everything we needed to make a snow day cozy and fun! We went snow tubing about 15 minutes down the road and although the lake wasn't frozen enough for skating, we found a great indoor ice rink about 15 minutes away. The house is located about 30 minutes north of the Portland waterfront, yet it feels like a world away. Restaurants and a grocery store are only about 10-15 minutes away, too.
We loved the location on the pretty and peaceful lake. It was relaxing and we enjoyed just sitting and enjoying the view. There weren’t many places nearby to get food, but we enjoyed going to Portland for meals. Having to do laundry on the checkout day felt rushed and it would have been better if we’d had a little bit later checkout time to allow for that and also if it had been communicated in advance. We would have chosen to bring our own linens if we’d known.
