Beautiful Lakefront Escape - Book Your Fall Foliage GetAway!

Need a change of scenery? Come relax, fish, kayak, roast smores, hike nearby Rattlesnake Mountain or just light a fire and read a book. We have a strong WIFI signal so you can work or school from this beautiful spot on Panther Pond! Enjoy nature, the fresh air, and simple pleasures of lake living! Winter & Spring guests: You should be comfortable with the possibility of having to navigate challenging weather and/or road conditions.

Our home is exceptionally clean, we have added extra cleaning measures to ensure a safe, clean and sanitary space. Enjoy a cozy, romantic getaway or fun family time - we're just 30 minutes from Portland and Freeport too!

Relax and unwind in our lovely lakefront home on beautiful Panther Pond. Our cottage hosts expansive lake views, great sunsets, and is the perfect place for a get-away any time of year! Grab your fleece and strike up a fire in the fire pit at the water's edge or cozy up next to one in the warmth of our living room with large stone hearth.

The setting of our four-season lakefront home is peaceful and private, it is surrounded by trees but has a fantastic view of the lake. We are Western-facing, our home offers you long sunny days and views of the lake from many vantage points - large deck, screened-in porch, lawn area & private dock. In the summer, wake to the sound of the loons and retire after enjoying exquisite sunsets by the water… Spend your days swimming, fishing, kayaking, playing games and enjoying the very best of lake-living! You will enjoy all the comforts of home from this spacious and tastefully furnished cottage with 150 feet of water frontage and a private dock. In the winter enjoy the snow and ice-covered lake and the cozy feeling of a winter cabin in the woods – ice fish, snowshoe, or simply light a fire, read a book and enjoy the moonlit lake. A beautiful deck with comfortable seating overlooks the water and screened-in porch with Pottery Barn sofa and picnic table allows you to enjoy the views any time of day when you’re lounging or dining.

Hike nearby Rattlesnake Mountain (one of the best day hikes in and around the Portland area), swim, kayak, fish, visit Portland or Freeport for great shopping or simply relax and enjoy the peace and quiet (and wildlife) of this lakefront setting.

Panther Pond connects to Crescent Lake via the Tenny River - a wonderful paddle experience for those who like to kayak. We also have a fire pit at the water's edge which is the perfect location to sit and enjoy a sunset - even in the winter! And for fishermen and women, Panther Pond is home to a large variety of fish.

The cottage is equipped with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, updated kitchen, stone fireplace, 2 separate living/entertaining spaces, large deck, screened-in porch, A-Frame swing, fire pit, kayaks and a canoe. The home is well-appointed with quality furnishings and bedding.

We have great snow in the winter (bring your sleds and snowshoes!), bright sun & refreshing water in the summer, and gorgeous foliage in the fall... And, in addition, the lake region hosts a large variety of events & activities all year round. Come See!

Winter & Spring Guests: A 4-wheel drive vehicle may be necessary to access the property depending upon weather-related road conditions.

It doesn't get any better !

This is the perfect lakeside vaction house. From the beautiful setting and spectacular view of Panther Pond to the immaculately maintained and comfortably furnished interior. We enjoyed a week of kyaking , canoeing and relaxing during the day and quiet meals and campfires in the evening. Everything was beyond our expectations. Collectively our family gives it 12 thumbs up !

Great lakehouse.

This is our second year renting this property, it is great for the whole family, it has 2 different living quarters. My teenage boys got the whole downstairs to themselves, (bedroom, living room, and a bathroom. Me, my sister and granddaughter stayed on the main floor. This property is exceptional. It is very homey and welcoming. We plan on renting again next year.

Paradise

I am somewhat reluctant to give this review, because I don’t want everyone else booking this place. This was absolute paradise. You can tell from the moment you step in this house that the owners care about this house and every person who stays here. We loved everything, from the decorating down to the amenities. We spent hours out on the lake kayaking, swimming, and just taking in the view. Super clean and everything you need is provided. We will be here again as soon as possible.

We absolutely loved our stay! The home and location were perfect. I wish we could have stayed longer! The home was very clean and had lots of thoughtful touches. I especially loved the bunk beds in 2 of the rooms because they are big enough to hold a family of 4 if the children are young like ours (4 & 5). The view of the lake was my favorite. Very beautiful and tranquil. We loved the deck and patio below the deck. So much space expertly created for pure enjoyment. We enjoyed the canoe and I was very impressed with all of the kayaks and other fun water adventure items that we didn’t get to use. And sitting next to the fire pit watching as the dusk turned darker was another highlight. Communication was quick and helpful. I am so glad we stayed here and hope to come back!

It is the house I have always dreamed of!

Our dream retirement would be a house on a lake. We are never going to have this, so we wanted to finally rent one to see what it is like. This checked off all the boxes! The layout, the cabin feeling, the beautiful sloping front yard leading to the water, the plants, everything! The house had everything you would need, move in ready. The quiet serene atmosphere was what it was all about. What a wonderful place to live in peace and serenity. I definitely want to be a returning renter every year! Oh, and Kristen is wonderful!

Perfect place for relaxation

My friend and I absolutely loved this property and definitely plan to return. It was cozy and at the same time very spacious. Everything we needed for the week was provided in the cottage and the location was absolutely perfect to unwind and relax. The view was gorgeous and provided beautiful sunsets while enjoying the fire pit right by the lake. We had a few rainy days so took advantage with a quick trip to Bridgeton and North Conway.

This was the 2nd time we stayed at this camp. Last year we booked for a week, it was so great that I booked for an extra 3 days this year. It is the perfect camp to stay at. The home is comfortable, and clean as well as beautiful with great outside spaces. The view from the deck is outstanding. The pond itself is pristine. I can not wait to visit again!!!

Amazing Property with Breathtaking Sunsets!

This house is absolutely perfect! Everything I expected and more. Fully stocked kitchen - plenty of dishes, utensils, pans, and even a salad spinner! Not a speck of dust or single stray bug - which is very impressive for a lake house in the woods!! The screened in area under the deck was perfect for rainy days. The lake was very quiet, much less boat traffic than other lakes in the area. The dock and swim raft were wonderful. I pay attention to details and there is not one thing I would change about this property. Lots of nice touches making it very homey, not like other generic rental properties out there.
