About this property

Waterfront Log Home on Quiet Lake - 25 Minutes -Sunday River Ski

Get away from it all... Nestled on the edge of the White Mountains in the Western Lakes Region of Maine, this is the ideal large, lakefront log home if your idea of getting away involves heading into the outdoors and away from the crowds.

During the Winter enjoy the large stone fireplace in the main room, nearby skiing, snowmobiling and ice skating on the lake. In Spring & Fall enjoy leaf peeping and hiking in the White Mountains. During the Summer enjoy the peaceful lake with private 230 ft. lakefront property, sandy water entry, swimming, large canoe, 2 kayaks, gas grill on a large deck with beautiful water and mountain views.

Just what we needed

Check-in was a breeze, Wi-Fi was excellent, the cabin was comfortable but best of all the location was perfect. We were looking for a quiet, pretty place to relax and that’s what we got. We swam, hiked a little, watched the birds and had a wonderful week.

This is the quietest, most serene place we have rented in all of Maine. The Papoose Pond may not be a big body of water, but it was great for kayaking at any level of inexperience. The Crooked River, however, was a pleasant challenge among the zigs and zags and was loaded with large brown trout.If you like peace and quiet, this is the place to go.

Great vacation for 2 families!

This house was a perfect get-away! We travelled as two families of 4. The house acommodated us very well and the views of Papoose Pond were incredible. The pond access allowed for a great swimming spot as well as a great place to fish. The owners were super helpful, by sending a bunch of information ahead of time as well as checking in mid-stay to see how we were doing. We took a canoe ride down the crooked river, as suggested by the owner and it was a blast. We would definitely recommend booking a stay!

Lovely lakeside retreat

My family enjoyed staying at this property. The house was secluded and private, the pond access was ideal for kayaking and swimming for our young son, and the surrounding area was very nice. I appreciated that the house had some helpful safety features for a toddler including stair gates. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Great authentic Maine winter experience

First off, so there is no confusion, we loved our time at the house, on the property, overall great. A couple things definitely would want to convey. If you’re going in the winter and there is snow, the house is truly in the woods, and a 4 Wheel Drive vehicle was very necessary.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2025
Glad you had a nice stay. We don't have 4 wheel drive vehicles and have never had a problem getting to the house. That said, if the private driveway was icey, I would have been happy to send my plow company over to sand it (our plow company is very responsive). It's Maine, it does snow a lot and sometimes it's icey. But, I find that the roads are usually well plowed and sanded.
