Unique Waterfront Overlooking Mount Katahdin

the house was perfect for a family reunion. its architecture is playful and efficient. the amenities were more than adequate. the easy access to an ideal lake for water activities was a blessing.

the owner, Kim and whomever we were in contact with, were wonderful in providing information before and during our stay. Kim offered generous help when we had a car problem on the last day.

the location of the property allows easy access to Baxter park , other outdoor activities and grocery shopping.

The glass front offered magnificent views but let in a fair amount of heat on sunny days. Although the house cooled down after dusk, shades would be welcomed to reduce the temperature in the afternoon.

there is an active railroad running between the house (about 2 trains per day) and the lake but it did not present any problem. as a matter of fact, we became friendly with the engine mechanics who whistled to us as they came by.

We have rented numerous homes over the years and we can say with confidence that this one was our favorite.

What a fabulous house, so interesting. We had our extended family for the weekend to celebrate our sister finishing the Appalachian Trail at Mt Katahdin. It was perfect. The house is everything they say and more. Everywhere you look, something new and interesting catches your eye. The train went by a few times, which was pretty cool. We enjoyed the lake, we sat there and watched the sunset every day. The drive to katahdin was pretty quick, easily under an hour, but get there early. There is a line to get in and it takes all day.

I would completely recommend Kittys Lake House for a vacation, and we hope to return there again. Thank you for sharing it with us!!!!!

We were a bit surprised by the railroad tracks dividing the front yard and the lake but got to enjoy watching the trains as the week progressed. It is a steep descent down to the water but the view from the beach and house is magnificent. We loved watching and listening to the loons while sipping wine and watching the spectacular sunsets. The house is fun with funky decor and the open living space is really nice. The sleeping arrangements would be great for a family but really wasn't adequate for two couples. One bedroom was very nice with a deck overlooking the beautiful lake. All the other bedrooms, however, were twin beds or rooms that required climbing up to lofts with the exception of the bedroom downstairs that had no closet or bureau space and had very limited area in which to walk around the bed. That said, I think the bedrooms would work out fine for a family. We would have loved to know the background of the interior design because it was so interesting. It would be hard to explain, so check it out and see for yourself!

This property is an absolute paradise in the North. We spent 7 beautiful days here and wished we didn't have to leave. There were a total of 10 of us, 4 adults and 6 teenagers and this place accommodated us all comfortably. Bathroom on each floor (total of 2.5) was very convenient. This place has all it claims it does and more; full kitchen with dishwasher, dining room table big enough to seat King Arthurs court, 3 decks to sit on and enjoy your morning coffee in the peacefulness of the lake or an afternoon/evening cocktail to unwind from the days activities. You could easily spend an entire month here and still not see all the uniqueness of this place; it is really a place to be experienced! The house was very clean and well maintained. It's amazing when you realize the owner built this place himself - a true labor of love! The owner is incredibly accommodating and very responsive. I have already recommended this place to several family and friends; it's a great place to reunite and relax. Kitty's place sits on South Twin Lake which is inter-connected to 4 other lakes - perfect for canoeing, kayaking, paddle-boarding & boating, which we did all of. Baxter State Park is within a 20-30 minute drive with plenty of hiking trails and, of course, Mt Katahdin. The Big Moose Inn has a great menu and live bands on Friday and Saturday nights. We can't wait to reserve this place again next summer!

We had a fantastic long weekend at this amazing lakeside home! The open-concept kitchen and living space was great fun to hang out in for shared time over cooking/eating meals, relaxing and recovering from a fantastic day of hiking in nearby Baxter State Park. There was something interesting to look at and wonder about in every space--so unique and beautiful! It is well maintained and relaxing and comfortable. The upper library space was a cozy space to read and sip a glass of wine. The sunset over the mountains and lake was spectacular! I can't wait to go back....
