WEATHER & TRAVEL INSURANCE Maine weather can be unpredictable year-round. Because we cannot control the elements or provide refunds for weather-related disruptions or power outages, we strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance at checkout to protect your trip investments.
BUGS & THE MAINE WOODS Lakewood Haus is nestled in a beautiful, natural lakeside community surrounded by trees and water. Being immersed in nature means you will likely encounter some of Maine’s local wildlife, including squirrels, chipmunks, loons, and—yes—bugs!
Depending on the season, mosquitoes, blackflies, "no-see-ums," and lake midges are a normal part of the outdoor experience. We recommend bringing your favorite bug spray, keeping the cottage doors and window screens closed, and embracing the authentic lake life vibe.
