I live 30 minutes away from the property, and are familiar with Sebago Lake and being in Sebago Basin on the lake was fantastic. The beach was very clean and a great place to spend a day or even the whole week, the house was a great location for our stay, it was very close to shopping and restaurants , the host was very accommodating for any of our needs, we will definitely be back next year for a stay at this property.David N.

We had a great vacation!

Everything was very nice at “Hoot Mon” cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and it was great to have the beach outside our door. There are lots of good restaurants nearby and many things to do, kayaking, mini golf and a drive in movie.

Another great stay at the Basin!

This is our second year at this rental. However, we previously stayed at multiple other rentals within a small area at the same beach. This is our favorite rental for our small, multi-generational family. The location, property, beach, amenities, communication and check-in/out are all great.

Hidden Gem

We absolutely adore HootMon. It is a little hidden gem... steps to the beach, yet shopping is just around the corner. This was our second stay. Looking forward to returning next year and making it a family tradition.

Quiet lakefront cottage

The waterfront location of this well-maintained, light-filled cottage is terrific for easy access to a protected sandy beach that is well-suited for children. It is in a very quiet area with no traffic, with easy access to a variety of stores, restaurants. The location is also convenient for local nature walks and hiking, as well as excursions in and around Portland.

Perfect family vacation

We had the best time at Hoot Mon. This was the perfect place for my family. The house was so clean and had everything we needed. Having the beach right outside our door was so convenient. Christina and Casey were so helpful and great to work with. We will be back.

Amazing lake house with beach

Wonderful time staying in the Sebago Basin lake house. House is fantastic and the community beach is steps away and tremendous fun for our 6yo. She was able to play with other kids who shared the beach and we all had a great time. The basin is protected from some of the larger waves on main Sebago and the water is warm as well. Notable also, is that the location is private but just a short ways from main town with plenty of options there as well. Wonderful week vacation.

Perfect and Peaceful getaway

Clean and enough room for all guests. Beautiful lake views, really nice beach steps away. We brought our kayaks and there was a perfect place to launch right by the cottage. Was nice to have a washer dryer. Being really close to town was convenient, yet the setting was peaceful. There were a several cottages right near us, but still felt quiet and relaxing.

Fantastic Family Vacation

What an incredible location and well maintained property! Our family enjoyed both the amazing beach (our children made fast friends with others vacationing nearby on the great community only beach!!) as well as took advantage to how close the property was to other activities on days the weather wasn’t cooperating with being on the beach. The property was clean and communication with the owner was so amazing and clear. Hoot Mon has a place in our family memory and heart after an incredible week!

Amazing!

We loved our stay at Hoot Mon! We spent every day on the beach from our morning cup of coffee to dinner. Then back out to watch the sunset. You can’t beat how close the home is to the sandy beach... literally steps! It made it so easy to run back in if you forgot something, grab lunch, etc. We will surely be back next year!

Great location

This cottage is perfect for two, but can accommodate up to six. Steps from the beach. Easy to launch a kayak. Good appliances. The driveway only accommodates two cars and there is no on street parking. Five minute drive to all shopping. We would come again

Lovely Lake House

The lake house, affectionately known as Hoot Man, is located on a private road, and a private beach shared by a small, friendly and well kept neighborhood. There are beautiful views of the sunset over the Sebago Lake Basin, and a peaceful quiet punctuated by the calls of the loons skimming the lake water. The house is very cozy and clean. The mini splits in the bedrooms and living room keep the cottage comfortable. Everything is in good working order, the internet is fast for remote work, and there are plenty of games for rainy days. The only thing that would have made the stay even better, would have been kayaks on the property. Casey was a great host and responded quickly to our questions!

Great stay at my favorite Maine waterfront location!

I stayed with my mother and son(12). We were familiar with the location, having previously rented homes at the same beach. I rent in the area annually, but rarely want to return to properties. This is definitely a house will return to. In addition to the two bedrooms, my son made the upstairs loft his space for the week, which was perfect. The house is clean and well appointed. All aspects of the booking and stay were ideal. We brought two kayaks and enjoyed them on the basin. The only possible improvement would be kayaks on site, rather than driving them from Maryland. However, it would not stop me and they can always be rented locally.
