“ Sunset Lodge”魅力的なゲストハウスがあるメイン州のレイクフロントコテージ

We have enjoyed Howard Pond since 1990. It gives us great pleasure to share it with our guests, their friends and families. In our free time, when not relaxing at the pond, we enjoy traveling and have had the chance to stay in great homes around the country and overseas. We bring back from our travels ideas about how to improve Sunset Lodge and always welcome feedback for improvements, too.

You will feel very remote, but in fact are just a 20 minute drive from the lovely village of Bethel, which boasts a fabulous bakery and a twice weekly fish truck from the coast. The lake and mountain views are fabulously beautiful, as are the spectacular sunsets from the dock or porches. We spend part of our summertime at Howard Pond and know how to fully enjoy the pond and the surrounding area. We try to provide you with everything you need to make the most of your precious vacation time.

The unique feature of this property is the opportunity to experience Maine's authentic "camp" life (as we call our mountain/lake hideaways) but with all the modern amenities! Sunset Lodge has gorgeous open stud construction and hardwood floors throughout. You can venture out for world class hikes and explorations of Western Maine, or you can greet the day with coffee on your dock, dangling your feet in the water, spend time reading, kayaking, watching and listening to the loons, hike up Woodsman's Peak with a trailhead just a 5 minute walk from the house for a look at the surrounding hills, the pond and the Androscoggin River, pick blueberries on the property for a pie (mid-July early August) , take a nap in the hammock, start the grill for dinner, watch a sunset that sometimes don't feel real, and make a final trip to the dock for a little stargazing far from city lights.
