Rangeley Lake House 75 Feet from Waters Edge

This was a fantastic location! Close to town, but still private. All the amenities of home. My family had a wonderful time.

If you're looking for a restful lake and house, this is the place, and you can bring your well behaved dog too! Perfect dock for putting out a canoe or kayak. (a little muddy for swimming, but a three minute walk down the Russell Cove road is some better swimming with a float). Hear the loons calling.(Please be mindful of nesting loons. Don't get too close). Beautiful sunsets. A short walk or drive into Rangeley for some good eats and fun shopping. Look into the plane ride and sunset cruise! Nice trail around Russell Cove. Short distance from Smalls Falls and Coos Canyon!

Overall this was a positive experience for our family. The house was very nice and easily accommodated our large group. The house was well appointed and close to restaurants and other downtown shops. We actually walked downtown many times rather than driving. We especially appreciated the large living area with two couches and many chairs - it was very nice to all be together in one space. And the view from the back deck was really quite nice.

The reason this is not a 5 star review is the dock/swimming area. The bottom of the lake in front of the house is very muddy and mucky. So although it is shallow and good for the kids, no one wanted to swim there because the bottom was "gross". If you have kids and you want to be able to swim right at the house, this may not be the best property for you. Although one of the public beaches is very close by.

We made a lot of memories during our stay! The house was spacious, clean, and had so much to offer! We will definitely be going back 😄

Our extended family of 9 stayed here for the week. The house was plenty big and everyone had a bed which were very comfortable. The house is located in an association and the house are very close which concerned us at first but after staying a week there was little no noise from the neighbors. The common area had a fire pit/grill and a beautiful big lawn with gazebo. We did not use this as the house had a grill and a fire pit of our own which was required for this group. We launched out kayaks right at the dock and used them every day, all day. There are about 40 steps from the lower level of the house to the dock so plan ahead. The house was equippted with every thing, even the Wifi worked all the time. We met the Management Staff when we got there and they were very nice. They even came back after a few days with some extra towels they forgot. Our group ranged from 6years old to 73 and Rangeley had something for everyone. We love the hiking, swimming and of course the bowling at Moose Alley, which you can walk to in 5 min. The convience store is literally a 2 min walk away. The only bummer is because it is in the Cove there isn't deep water at the dock for the kids to dive off from. They can swim out to the Association dock and jump off whcih is only a 2 minute walk away. One cool thing I liked was watching the Sea Planes land almost above our heads on the deck of the house. We hope to go back to Rangeley next year and would recommend Russell Cove.
