About this property

Lakefront Cottage - private dock, large decks, large fire pit

Your family and friends will love this lakefront retreat on the shores of Watchic Lake! Enjoy lazy afternoons on the water with the help of a private dock, shaded decks.

This 4 bedroom home is located directly on the lake. It is great for swimming, fishing, floating, or just sitting by the fire pit and relaxing. In the winter you can enjoy ice skating, snow shoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing.

The main level is an open concept living area combining the dining, kitchen, and living room. There are two large bedrooms on the second floor. The master bedroom has a private balcony. The other room contains a full and twin size bed. There are two small bedrooms in the basement (one does not have a window) and another cozy family room.

We have a selection of games and DVDs for rainy days or nights at home. Light a fire in the fire pit near the water and enjoy views of the lake

Just twenty miles from Portland International Jetport. 35 minutes to Funtown/Splashtown and 40 minutes to Old Orchard Beach. North Conway NH and outlet shopping make for a nice midweek day trip.

Fall leaf peeping, the Fryeburg Fair, hiking and biking are all within a close proximity. Winter rentals provide access to ITS trails and bountiful ice fishing.

***Please note this home is in close proximity to adjacent neighbors. Some neighbors have been known to throw parties and play loud music on the weekend.***

About the host

Hosted by Rob Richardson

Host profile image
I grew up in the area around where the house is located and moved to Boston in 2010. We have family that live in the area and we were looking for a vacation home that we could stay at and have family gatherings when we are in town.

Why they chose this property

This house checked off everything on our list. We wanted a place that was on the water for swimming and boating. We wanted it to be big enough to have family and friends stay over and we wanted it to be close enough to Portland so that it was easy to get to. We didn't want to spend half the weekend traveling to and from the house.

What makes this property unique

In the warmer months, the loons will sing to you from the water, which is fantastic. In the winter months, the sounds of the ice on the lake will lull you to sleep at night. Truly, this is an authentic Maine experience no matter the season.
