About this property
SQUARE POND Waterfront Lake House With Beautiful Views, Dock and Swimming Float!
Comfortable, clean, warm, and welcoming lakeside living at its best! Just completely renovated and expanded waterfront lake house on Treasure Island just a few hundred yards from the mainland with free, and constant (At least until 7:45pm every day. Weekends later), ferry service (Just passengers and gear as there are no cars on the island). Or bring your own boat and use our private house dock and the mainland docks owned by us islanders (Please feel free to inquire about renting our pontoon boat during your stay). Square pond is an 877 acre, 10.8 mile perimeter (About 2.5 mile long) spring fed ULTRA-CLEAN lake. No weeds or vegetation to speak of. The lake body is generally 20-44' deep (Max. about 53'). Good fishing for largemouth and smallmouth bass, brown trout (Maine state record caught here!), perch, etc. We've just finished a complete top to bottom updating, reconfiguration, whole house renovation that includes a new 310 sq. ft. master suite addition with king sized bed (with 4'x4' skylight above), laundry, and gorgeous bathroom. Second bedroom with queen sized, and third with full sized bed and sofa bed. These other bedrooms just completely re-done with new windows, carpet, walls, and whitewashed tongue and groove ceilings. Vaulted (same whitewashed T&G) ceilings in the new master suite, living room, and kitchen. 2 skylights in living room and 1 in kitchen. Glassed, (or screened as the large glass panel windows slide open), indoor porch with bar height dining table for 6 overlooking the lake, outside deck with dining table for 6, outside bar stools at countertop overlooking the lake. Fire pit with Adirondack chairs next to the lake. Large iron griddle top grill on the deck. Brand new kitchen cabinets, stainless steel appliances, flooring, walls, and recycled glass Curava countertops. Warm inviting string lights outside over the deck and front of the house. Long aluminum wood-grained look Floe dock system with platform deck and Adirondack chairs and our swimming float about 90' from shore. Less than a 5 minute ferry ride from mainland. 4 kayaks, canoe, and life jackets for use. Bring your motorboat if you wish (Just be incredibly diligent in cleaning the exterior and motor carefully of any vegetation before bringing it please! Maine state law and VERY important for our lake). Walking or running path around the perimeter of the island, as well as middle island, that also allows access to two public beaches. Or just stay on the property and swim off of our dock, small beach or out to our float and lay in the sun and watch the island's nesting bald eagles fly over or listen to the loons and watch them fish.
A short, scenic 1 hour drive to North Conway, NH, 45 minute scenic drive to the coastal city of Portland Maine, and 35 minute drive to the coastal beaches of Wells, Maine. Under a 2 hour ride from Boston. We offer great check in and out times so that you can enjoy more of your vacation (1pm check in and 12pm checkout times)!

About the host
Hosted by John Skibbee

This property was built in 1966 and has been in our family for the last 30 years. It has seen the generations of our family brought together time and again for laughs, boating, eating (too much), and a ton of swimming over the years. Treasure Island is, and has been, a place of tranquility, peace, fun, and family memories for us. With our children mostly grown we've decided to offer this refuge to others on a very limited basis (Just two weeks a year total).
Being a short hour and twenty minute drive for us from our home in northeastern MA The Lakehouse is so easily accessible that whether it's a quick overnight or being there for weeks at a time we feel recharged as we head back to work as well as reconnected as a family. We trust, and know, that you'll feel the same having spent time here.

Why they chose this property
The Lakehouse sits in a very unique place on Treasure Island. Treasure island is an association of houses built in the mid-1960's that ring the island. Being on the island provides for even more feeling of being far away from anything....even though you are never that. (20 minutes drive to Sanford...a small city where you can buy anything you wish, an hour of back road driving to North Conway, NH and its scenic beauty, a 45 minute back road drive to the beautiful seaside city of Portland, Maine, and a 35 minute drive to the large Atlantic Ocean beaches of Maine). It's a quiet place yet you're not isolated or alone if you choose to walk or run the island path around the perimeter along the water. You may wish to talk to others or not. It's a friendly place yet very much respects everyone's privacy. Our particular house is well buffered from others with substantial privacy provided by the woods. With a nice open area at the water for a front yard there is ample area for evening fires, games to be played, or to just lay in the hammock for an afternoon nap. The Adirondack chairs at the end of the dock are heavily used as it feels as if you're sitting on the water watching the ripples, boaters, and wildlife. The perfect spot for a morning coffee. The island provides for nice kayaking or canoeing close to shore while experiencing the abundant wildlife. There is a perennial pair of nesting eagles on our side of the island that will often fly over or catch fish or train their offspring to fly and fish as you watch. The loon on the lake are abundant and ever-present. Watching them raise their young each year and listening to their cry is a perennial rite.
What makes this property unique
Island living, but very close to the mainland for easy access to whatever you may need. The house is nicely elevated above the water for long views. The updates recently done to the house provide for the best in modern living, comfort, and charm in a rural setting.
