We had the best time at this lake house! The house was spacious, well appointed, and had incredible access to a beautiful lake. I mentioned when we booked that we were staying to celebrate my dad’s birthday and the hosts very kindly left a balloon and other birthday items for us! We had one gorgeous, sunny day that we spent in and out of the lake, and one rainy, cozy day that allowed us to enjoy the enclosed porch and board games. We are already talking about coming back next year because we loved it so much! I cannot recommend this house enough!

I can hardly put into words how perfect this choice was for our family. The house is beautiful and cozy and fully equipped with everything we needed. The lake view was gorgeous and our hosts made sure we had access to more than everything we needed for long days on the lake - kayak, paddle board, tubes, floats, lawn games, swing, and treehouse for the kids. We were comfortable indoors too - the cabin is beautifully decorated and super comfortable - the beds! So comfortable! We had coffee on the porch in the morning with a lake view, a well-equipped kitchen and pantry, again - the comfy beds, and plenty of games. My daughter and I even completed a 500-piece puzzle over the long weekend. Thank you again for opening your home. You can sense the love and care that have gone into this property, and it felt special to us. It was worth making the drive from Boston - We already are looking forward to our next visit!

About the host

Hosted by Tricia Denham

Host profile image
We are the family behind Moonbeam Family Ventures, a small family business dedicated to preserving special places and sharing them with others.

This home has been part of our family for over 15 years, and when life presented challenges, we created this business as a way to keep it in the family and continue the tradition of making lifelong memories here. Hosting allows us to share this special place with others, offering families, friends, and couples a chance to slow down, reconnect, and experience the beauty of Maine in every season.

Our entire family plays a role in making this retreat a welcoming space. our son, who is preparing for a business degree, is gaining hands-on experience managing aspects of the rental, while our daughter maintains the one-of-a-kind treehouse that makes our property extra special for young adventurers.

We hope that when you stay here, you'll enjoy peaceful mornings by the lake, adventures on the water or snow-covered trails, and cozy evenings by the firepit - just as we have over the years. Whether you're hear to relax, explore, or make new family traditions, we look forward to hosting you and helping you create unforgettable memories.

Why they chose this property

We didn't just choose this location - it's been part of our family's story for years. Nestled on the shores of Upper Cold Stream Pond in Lincoln, Maine, this area is the perfect bland of tranquility, adventure, and classic Maine charm.

What we love most about this location is its year-round beauty and endless outdoor activities. In the summer, guests can wake up to the sound of loons, spend their days exploring the ATV trails, kayaking, boating, fishing, or swimming in the crystal-clear water, and relax on the dock or by the firepit as the sun sets over the lake. In the winter, the area transforms into a cozy, snow-covered retreat, with direct access to snowmobile trails, ice fishing opportunities, and scenic winter landscapes.

Lincoln offers the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience. While our home feels like a private getaway, its just a 7-minute drive to town, where you'll find local restaurants, shops, and small-town hospitality. Plus, we're within reach of Mt. Katahdin and Acadia National Park, making it an excellent home base for hikers, nature lovers, and outdoor explorers. Whether you're looking for a peaceful lakeside retreat, an adventurous getaway, or a cozy spot to create family memories, this location offers something for every season and every traveler.

What makes this property unique

Our home isn't just a lakefront getaway - it's a place where nature, adventures, and relaxation come together in every season.

One of our standout features is our two-story treehouse, built around a towering tree that runs right through it. This whimsical hideaway is a favorite for kids.

Beyond the treehouse, our expansive dock - one of the largest on the lake - sets us apart with mounted cleats for securing boats; deep, crystal-clear water just off the edge; and access to exceptional fishing for bass, trout, and even the occasional salmon, it's the perfect spot to launch an adventure or simply take in the peaceful surroundings. We also provide kayaks, a canoe, and a paddleboard so guests can fully explore the beaty of Upper Cold Stream Pond, a spring-fed lake known for its excellent water quality.

For those who love outdoor adventure, our property offers direct access to ATV and snowmobile trails, making it an ideal basecamp for year-round exploration. Whether you're paddling under the summer sun, hiking nearby trails in the fall, or snowmobiling through a winter wonderland, there's something for every season.

Inside, guests can enjoy high-speed WiFi to stay connected, a cozy and welcoming atmosphere, and lots of games to enjoy with family and friends.

Whether you're here to swim, fish, relax by the firepit, or embrace the thrill of the trails, we're excited to share this special place with you.
