Rangeley Lake House 75 Feet from Waters Edge

The house was very nice and a good set up for having guests. Unfortunately the water front was unusable, very shallow and muddy. The dock was covered with goose droppings, really disgusting.

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 😄
