A true Maine lakeside experience

JustAwhim is a special cabin. Location is convenient to the grocery store and Main Street restaurants/shops. The cabin is a quaint, spacious space that fosters quality time and tranquility from the lake. It’s historic nature makes you feel like you’ve stepped into the early 1900s with all of the modern conveniences. Lorna was a gracious host and met us at the property to show us around. We couldn’t ask for better hospitality. Although it was a bit chilly in early September this year, it did not take away from our experience. We all enjoyed the lake and this beautiful cabin!

Picture-perfect spot on a lovely lake

My family loved our week on Rangeley lake, with views of Bald Mountain from our bedroom windows and loons calling in the evening. The cottage is beautifully appointed with lovely linens, comfortable furniture and a fully stocked kitchen including an old, refurbished range for cooking. The owners were very helpful and shared their canoes, kayaks and tennis court, which added to the fun. The lake is clean and quiet, perfect for swimming and kayaking. We wish we could have stayed longer, especially to enjoy a few more afternoons on the front porch!

A True Camp Experience

Justawhim is an authentic lakefront cabin with just the right amount of rustic charm. On rainy days we spent time indoors reading books, playing board games, and relaxing. On the nicer days we hiked to the top of Bald Mountain, visited Angel Falls, the Town of Rangeley, and spent time on the pristine lake. The well furnished waterfront porch of Justawhim provided the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee, sunsets, and the incredible views of the lake. The homeowners were very accommodating and easy to work with. We enjoyed getting to know them. We would highly recommend a Justawhim visit to anyone.

About the host

Hosted by Lorna C.

Host profile image
I was so fortunate to grow up in Maine. My husband grew up in Connecticut and spent his summers in Rangeley. Our children were raised in Maine. During the summer we love sailing the Maine coast and spending time at our home in Rangeley. In winter months we enjoy the beauty of the season with a visit south for a couple of weeks for a respite from the cold!

Why they chose this property

Justawhim has been in our family since 1927. As this property passes through time and generations of those who have visited and live here, this home leaves with you with a sense of appreciation for what is grounding in this life of hustle and bustle. Our family today and those before us all share or have shared the same feeling of "getting away from it all" when we are in Rangeley. For me this translates into unforgettable life long experiences and memories with our family and cherished friends. You only need to watch one sunset over Bald Mountain sitting on the front porch of Justawhim on a beautiful summer evening to understand why this property is so special.

What makes this property unique

Old world charm and it's location make our home extremely unique and relaxing. Once you visit this magical place a sense of calm, peace and simplicity replace the stress and pressure from everyday life. There is nothing more peaceful than enjoying your morning cup of coffee on the front porch or dock overlooking the simple beauty of the lake and listening to the loons call to each other. My family and I love the outdoors. Justawhim's location is perfect for swimming, sailing, kayaking, fishing and more, right at your fingertips. Hiking is another one of our passions. Rangeley and the surrounding area has many peaks and trails for all levels of hikers. There is so much to do in the western mountains of Maine and the Rangeley Lakes Region. Sharing our home and the Maine experience with family, friends and guests brings us joy. We hope you will visit and stay in our beautiful home, explore the unsurpassed beauty of this region and create your own memorable family experiences.
