Water's Edge Camp, is on pristine Embden Lake, a clean, spring-fed lake measuring 5 miles long, providing panoramic views. A sandy beach and swimming dock are a stone's throw away. Use our canoe and kayak to explore the lake, relax on the deck or take a nap in the hammock!
Enjoy the singing loons and see the soaring eagles. Water's Edge camp is a comfortable haven year round. A private second floor, knotty pine master bedroom with queen-size bed and a double futon even has room for a crib. The large living area, overlooking the lake, features a woodstove, knotty pine trim and skylights.
One guestroom has a double bed and the other a bunkbed with a double futon bottom. All the comforts of home combined with a relaxing atmosphere and majestic scenery make this a perfect retreat.
Rafting, canoe and kayak rentals, as well as golf courses are nearby. Hunting of deer, bear, moose and upland bird are popular and Embden Lake is well known for its fishing.
Watch the sun rise while the morning mist hovers over the lake, and enjoy the evening while roasting marshmallows in the firepit. You won't soon forget your relaxing vacation at Watersedge Camp.

A beautiful retreat

This lake house is a great spot for a family vacation. The house itself is comfortable and well equipped and it's location is just stunning. The beach area was great for our 3 1/2 year old. She could wade into the lake and play without worrying about getting out of her depth whilst our 5 year old made use of the brand new dock to learn how to dive. The water is beautifully clear and warm - just perfect for escaping from the heat. The front deck was just perfect for eating our meals and listening to the loons. We also made use of the kayak and canoe on the property. Can't wait to go back for some more relaxation and fun.

Serenity on the lake

We have rented this cabin about 6 times in the past 20 years and have stayed at a number of other "camps" in this little community about 7 times as well. This is our favorite cabin as it is the closest to the lake and has all the amenities anyone would want on vacation. Gerry, the owner, has equipped it well indoors and out. The canoe and kayak are great perks as are the washer/dryer/dishwasher/fans. We travel 8 hrs to get here so we clearly think it's worth it!

This is the very first time I had ever done this, I was very skeptical at first, but let me tell you, Gerry was wonderful, he put all my hesitations to rest, and delivered everything he promised. We had e-mailed for a few months with my questions, he called me on one ocasion, he got to know me and I got to know him a little. This place delivers everything it offers, the condo is beautiful, and in great condition. The windows overlooking the lake are a great touch, the morning sun will blind the late sleeper, but we love to get up early, drink coffee and watch a new day come up over the lake. We brought our cat, Baxter, he strongly recomeds this for all the cat lovers out there, he loved the sun in the morning and the wonderful breeze in the master window in the afternoon. The decor was great! My family thought I had decorated it! It was clean and very comfortable. A nice home away from home. Gerry has offered a great value for your money. I would recomend this place to anyone wanting to go somewhere to relax and just enjoy Maine. There is alot to do not very far away. I am from Skowhegan, and it is a wonderful town, about 30-40 min from the cabin, the town has at lest one of anything you may want or need. I will be back, it is a place to make memories.

This is the perfect Maine vacation. The views are amazing from every room of the house, the deck is the closest to the lake of all the cabins in this group, the rock in front is the perfect spot for sunning yourself or feeding the local ducks and everyone can enjoy the warm water right out front of the camp.
