Welcome! We hope that you have a wonderful stay at our home on the scenic western mountains of Maine. Relax and enjoy the natural surroundings and serenity of this special place. Please remember that this is our home; treat it and our belongings with the same respect that you would expect if someone were visiting your home. We found this property in 2018 and decided it was the perfect place to enjoy year-round with its beautiful lake and proximity to Sugarloaf for skiing and the hiking of the Bigelow Mountains. We enjoy spending time here with our family and friends along with our son.
Jeff owns and runs an international travel company, ActivSport Travel and Jess is a high school Math teacher in South Portland. Our passions lay in soccer, skiing, traveling the world, and being outdoors.
We know you will love your time at Porter Lake and feel free to say hi to the friendly neighbors, there are very nice people that live here. The setting is so relaxing you will be tempted not to leave but be sure to take advantage of the many hikes and trails in the area both during the winter and the summer!
Enjoy our home and have a wonderful stay!

Why they chose this property
We chose this property because we loved the lakefront setting, and Porter Lake's pristine waters and wildlife makes it one of Maine's best kept secrets! We were looking for something close to a quality ski resort in the winter, but yet just far enough away to have some privacy from the hustle and bustle of the busy ski condo scene. We also wanted a place that would be special to visit in the summer and the fall months as well. This property checks all of our boxes for a perfect vacation any time of year and we think you and your loved ones will feel the same way!
What makes this property unique
Lakefront setting with unbeatable views and pristine nature. The sounds of the loons will enchant you and morning coffee out on the dock is a transcendental experience! In the winter, the property takes on an even more intimate and cozy atmosphere with snowshoeing and cross country skiing on the lake or snowmobiling on the exceptional trail network just down the road from the house as fun outdoors pursuits.
