About this property
Family & Pet Friendly Lakefront Getaway Awaits in Shapleigh, Maine.
Relax and enjoy everything our lakefront cottage has to offer. We provide all bed linens and towels, along with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a coffee maker, blender, toaster, crockpot, propane grill, cookware, dishes, and utensils. Stay connected with complimentary WiFi and enjoy the convenience of an in-home washer and dryer.
The first floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, a separate queen bedroom, and an updated full bathroom with a stand-up shower. Please note that the bathroom is more compact than those found in many newer homes, but it has been thoughtfully updated and is fully functional.
Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms: one with a queen bed and another with a queen bed and a twin-over-twin bunk bed, making the cottage a great fit for families and groups.
The semi-finished walkout basement is the perfect place to unwind with a game of ping pong or store extra food and drinks in the second refrigerator/freezer. A convenient half bath is easily accessible from both the backyard and the waterfront.
Step outside to enjoy 50 feet of private waterfront. Spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, rowing, or cruising in the pedal boat. In the evening, fire up the propane grill (starter propane included; refill station nearby), then gather around the fire pit and relax under the stars.
Guests have full access to the property and waterfront, including:
3 kayaks 2 stand-up paddleboards 1 canoe 1 rowboat 1 pedal boat Life jackets for guests of all ages
Neighborhood: Our cottage is located in a friendly, established lake community where neighbors know one another and enjoy spending time outdoors. You may occasionally see neighbors chatting or walking nearby, and some have friendly dogs that are off leash. If you're traveling with a dog that is reactive or prefers extra space from other dogs, we recommend keeping your pet leashed and supervised while outdoors.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We have stayed at many VRBO properties and this was at the very top. The location was great (Right on the water). Very quiet with friendly neighbors.The property was very clean with everything we needed.The Hosts were exceptional and easy to get in touch with. We had a minor problem that they took care of immediately.We found our new summer get away with this property. We will definitely return.
This was a perfect setting to be together with my family! The location was ideal and the cottage was so clean! Very impressed with the new paint and attention to detail.Neighbors are friendly, dogs included. I believe this is the best way to spend quality time relaxing in a quiet area located only 1h away from home!Thank you for being such attentive hosts!
Perfect getaway for the long weekend!
The cottage met our expectations and had everything we needed for an enjoyable stay. All the boats available were an added plus.
Looking forward to our next visit
We really enjoyed our stay. The location right on the lake was amazing. The host provided kayaks, floaties, and a paddleboard. The interior was pretty cozy. The view from the 1st floor was amazing.
Our stay over Thanksgiving included family members from New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. The large fully stocked kitchen worked out very well for us.
Our stay at this lakehouse was an extremely relaxing week. The location is very quiet and peaceful. It is perfect if fishing, rafting, paddle boarding, kayaking, or swimming is your preference. We can't wait to come back next yearThekitchpans
Everything is exactly as depicted in the listing. Wonderful location and strong communication throughout the process. We loved our time and had a fantastic week!
Summer Family Vacation Week! House was absolutely perfect for a family of 4 with 2 small dogs and room to spare. Really nice neighbors and neighborhood… we had plenty to do around Maine for the week and having fun in the lake with ALL of the water activities including paddle boards, kayaks, a row boat, tubes, and more. We enjoyed fishing in the lake and our nightly fires too. It was exactly the stay we wanted and the house has everything you need. Great house, great owners, great price. Highly recommend.
This house sits on a beautiful lake with gorgeous views from the living room and upstairs. Even though it was raining all day Saturday of our weekend away, we enjoyed our stay and took advantage of the kitchen and comfy couch. It was great to bring our dog, too - he had a great time.
Our family and dog had a wonderful time on the Pond. The foliage was so beautiful!
This home was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a 3 day stay. We enjoyed the kayaks and rowboat, and evenings by the fire pit were so much fun! We were only an hours drive to Portland so we enjoyed the best of both worlds. What a great time and a great place to stay for our family. Our bulldog Winston loved it too. It was his first road trip with us. We appreciated being able to bring him along.

Thank you for the review Carla, you are welcome to come back anytime!
We loved our stay at this beautiful property! The house was cozy, clean, and incredibly well-stocked with kitchen supplies, which made cooking all our meals a breeze. We enjoyed eating outside at the picnic tables, taking in the peaceful surroundings.The pond was the highlight of our trip—so serene and perfect for swimming and kayaking. The shallow areas are great for little ones to splash around safely. Evenings were enjoyed by the fire pit, where we roasted marshmallows and made s'mores.The owners were wonderful—friendly, helpful, and quick to respond to any questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would love to return in the future. Highly recommend this gem for families or anyone looking for a relaxing getaway!

About the host
Hosted by Heidi Mahoney & Marc Dupuis
We grew up in Southern Maine and enjoy everything this great State has to offer, from Hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, kayaking and running we try to do it all. We spend as much time outside in nature as we can. We love to travel and explore but there is nothing like coming home to Maine.
Why they chose this property
Because we've lived in Maine our whole lives we knew we wanted to buy a lakeside property so that we could share a little piece of our lives with others. We take pride in offering an experience to our guests that they will talk about for years to come.
