Grandview 14 provides everything on your waterfront wish list! Imagine the loon calls echoing in the still night air and soft lake breezes. Imagine quiet walks among the grand-daddy pines.
One of Southern Maine's nicest lakes, Lake Arrowhead is known for its world class bass fishing. The Department of Fisheries and Wildlife has recently named Lake Arrowhead as the only Trophy Base Lake in Maine and it regularly plays host to some of the areas biggest bass fishing championships. In fact, NESN and ESPN's emmy award winning Charlie Moore, aka, "The Mad Fisherman", can often be seen filming his show on our waters. Watch for his bright orange boats! It is an 1100 acre lake, ideally located between Portland, Maine and North Conway, New Hampshire. It is known for its crystal-clear water, perfect for swimming and boating. It is full of coves, islands and inlets which make for some nice exploring with canoes or kayaks.
Grandview 14 is one of the nicest waterfronts on the lake with just the right balance of trees and open views to make it beautiful. The main house and guest cottage are nestled only 50 feet from the water's edge on 163' of waterfront.
Enjoy the hammock or the cozy swing down by the lakefront, a great place to "catch some rays" or watch the sunset. There is a private dock for mooring your own boat or personal watercraft, and a swim float. Fishing rods, a canoe, and a kayak are available for use during your stay with us.
Play some tennis or shoot a few hoops at the community courts, just a 5 minute walk from Grandview 14. There is a large grassy space to play croquet and the entire property has exquisite perennial gardens that provide all season colors. There is a children's treehouse and swingset. Sit under the stars in a unique wood-fired hot tub.

Homeowner Response:
We really enjoyed meeting Lise and Louis. We were so excited that their 2 1/2 yr old caught his first fish right off our dock and ALL BY HIMSELF! They treated our property with great respect and left it exactly as they had found it. Louis even helped us do a little reposistioning of our dock that had been moved by all the high water. Many of our guests become lifelong friends and we are hopeful this family will be return guests for years to come.

Homeowner Response:
We enjoyed having the Hamilton's at our property all the way from Texas. They had not ever been to Maine before and they did it all, from deep sea fishing to shopping to having seafood at one of our very favorite places to recommend to our guests, The Lobster Shack in Cape Elizabeth. The kids had not seen the ocean before and the views out at the lobster shack are some of the best around.
