This was such a wonderful idyllic week in Maine. The house had everything we needed, plus beautiful sunsets, proximity to town, and wonderful hosts. We’ll definitely be back!

Perfect stay!
The cottage was everything I’d hoped for and more! Located on a beautiful spot on the lake, equipped with everything we could possibly need, impeccably clean and wonderfully decorated. It’s very convenient to Camden, but far enough out to feel peaceful and remote when you’re down by the lake. We had a tremendous week!
We loved this house and our very friendly and responsive host. Being Right on such a beautiful, clean, and scenic lake was so relaxing and wonderful. My family was comfortable, and would love to return to this special place!

Glad you enjoyed your week! We would love to have you back again!
We had an amazing time at this amazing property! The host thought of everything and the property was well stocked and maintained. The layout was perfect for our extended family. The location on the lake was great and we spent a portion of each day in and on the water. Our day trip to Acadia was breeze. This property has everything we needed and more and the host was wonderful to work with!

Thank you so much Josh! Before buying the lakehouse we spent 15 years renting various places on the lake ourselves and used that experience to plan out just what we feel is needed for the best stay...thank you for noticing and appreciating! Hope to have you back again soon!
Great Lake front spot, we made frequent use of the kayaks, dock and swimming platform. Amazing sunsets sitting at the fire pit (lots of kindling & wood provided). The kitchen is well equipped - we had a lobster boil (big pots, large plates & crackers ). The individual room AC controls was a big plus. The home was very clean and well equipped including lake towels. Thanks for sharing your beautiful home!
The house was right on the lake. Came with 3 kayaks which we used a lot. Extremely well stocked kitchen. Perfect house for our week stay.

Glad you enjoyed your week. After spending 15 years renting various places on the lake ourselves we definitely tried to think of everything that would make for a comfortable stay. Appreciate you noticing!
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The views of the lake were great. We enjoyed swimming in the lake and also the hiking trails which offered additional spectacular views of the lake and its surroundings. The house is well appointed and it is located close to the towns of Camden, Lincolnville, Rockport and Rockland where we enjoyed the restaurants and shops. I highly recommend this beautiful lake house.
This was our second year staying at the beautiful lake house with extended family. We love everything about the property. So many nice attention to details and thoughtful considerations by the host! We'll be back!
This is the second time my husband and I stayed at this house and it was lovely. The location is perfect and the house is well kept and well stocked. We hope to visit again another summer!

"Close proximity"? I'd say so as we are literally steps from the lake! 😊 So pleased you enjoyed our Lakehouse for 3 weeks...more time than even we have here at our happy place this summer!
We loved our stay! House came well-equipped and clean. Right on the water - we went out on the kayaks and fishing off the dock most days. Great shopping in Camden, saw a movie in Thomaston. All sheets and bath/beach towels were provided. Thanks so much for sharing your house!

So glad you enjoyed your stay and took full advantage of the amazing spot right on the lake. Hope to see you again!
This was our second stay at this wonderful home and it was magnificent! It is close to Camden, as well as several other towns offering easy opportunities for sightseeing. This property offered kayaks for fun excursions around the beautiful lake islands and a firepit for delicious s'mores! The sunsets were breathtaking and the early morning quiet and beauty of the lake while sitting on the dock are not to be forgotten.

SO happy you and your family were able to come enjoy the lakehouse again this year. I myself absolutely LOVE sitting out in the morning calm taking in the view - it never gets old! Hope to have you back again!
We stayed here for 4 nights on a senior girls trip (5 graduates, 3 moms). The house is perfectly equipped with plenty of cooking tools, towels, blankets, lots of seating and room for sleeping. Special touches were an area binder with lots of suggestions for area activities and some eateries, and a basket with s’more goods for roasting.
One note for bird watchers: the road behind the house is a bit loud for Merlin.
We absolutely loved our stay and appreciate all the excellent communication and hospitality!

This is the second time we stay at Shelby’s Lake House. We love it! The house has enough space to accommodate everyone’s needs. The back deck is our favorite place to hang out and share meals when the weather is nice. Lake Megunticook is a great lake - super clean and not too busy. This is our all-time favorite rental property. Thank you for sharing it with us, Shelby!

The house has beautiful views of Lake Megunicook. The house also comes with three kayaks to use and we did.
The kitchen is well stocked and the house was very clean. The owner/manger was great to work with and very responsive.
Highly recommend this house!! Thank you for allowing us to rent your property.

I shared this property with my kids, their spouses and one spouse's parents. There was lots of room, and we all had a good time. It was wonderful to have the lake right outside the door and I was even able to bring my dog with me. He loved going into the lake each day (it was hot out!!). Overall a great experience!!

Love that you guys piggybacked your week with your family’s week...such a great idea! Hope to see you in 2021!
We had a wonderful stay at this house in Lincolnville! The house is beautifully appointed, cozy, and in the most picturesque setting, right on Lake Megunticook. I could sit out on the deck and look at the lake all day. We swam and kayaked off the dock, made s’mores over the fire pit, and enjoyed every minute of our stay. The house is a quick five minute drive into Camden and an easy drive to Rockland and Belfast. The house was stocked with every amenity, even board games for the one rainy day! Shelby was very helpful and answered all of our questions. What a perfect stay in Maine!

This House is Awesome!
This was our second stay at this wonderful lake house, and it was just as good the second time. It's great to be right on the water, as it provides a constant source of entertainment for everyone, but especially the kids. We are a large group with six kids, and there was always someone swimming, kayaking, or just sitting on the dock. The house has an open floor plan with lots of light and great views. So it's easy for people to spread out and be relaxed. It's close to Camden and Mount Battie; there's fishing, hiking, sailing - what more could you ask for?

SO excited to have you back again this year! We love that with all the space in the house everyone feels like they have their own spot. It never feels crowded, even with a full house. Hope you visit the Lakehouse again!
We had a great time during our stay. The location is a double-edged sword. It was nice being close to all that the mid-coast has to offer, but the house is on a very busy road. We got used to the road noise quickly but it is loud when you are lounging outside. The house was well equipped for all our needs with plenty of things to do. The gas fireplace inside was a favorite as we had a few days of Maine weather--we also made good use of the outside fire pit. Overall, great experience.

Glad you enjoyed your time at the Lakehouse. While the house is right off Camden Road/Route 52, a busy road in Lincolnville, Maine is not the same as a busy road in other parts of the country. The house is pretty shielded from the road and luckily all of the views and activities are on the lake side of the property so we have never found the road noise to be a problem - maybe it's the music we are playing? LOL Happy the Maine fall weather allowed you to make use of the firepit and fireplace! That's the time of year I miss the most there!
Our family (5 adults, 4 children under 12) just spent a delightful week in late August 2024 at the Lakehouse in Lincolnville, very near to Camden, Maine. The house is very well appointed, full of light, faces west and is within ~30 feet of Megunticook Lake. The lake shore in front of the house features a large dock, kayaks, and a floating dock off the shore. The lake is very quiet, few motorboats, and the shore opposite the house is undeveloped, no houses to spoil the view, and the sunsets are beautiful. Nearby are the towns of Camden (4 miles) and Rockland (12 miles); and 2 hiking trails (and a car road) lead to Mount Battie above the house, the highest point in Camden Hills State Park with a wonderful view of Penobscot Bay. In sum, we were very pleased with our vacation on the lake.

About the host
Hosted by Shelby Mahan
We grew up in Camden and still consider this area "home", coming back every summer since leaving in 1995. Our children don't know a summer without coming to Maine and spending time on the lake. They say "Home is where the heart is" and this is definitely it for us!
Why they chose this property
We spent 14 years renting a variety of other properties on the lake, but jumped at the chance to buy this Lake House when it came on the market. It had all the space we could possibly ask for and was on one of the most beautiful parts of the lake we had always known and loved. After a winter of renovation we now have our "Happy Place"...
What makes this property unique
Looking out across the lake and straight onto Fernald's Neck Preserve ensures the best views are not impeded. Windows from every room in the house and western exposure brings the very best afternoon light and gorgeous sunsets. Plenty of space for everyone, even on a rainy day, with living areas up and down, loft area with games galore and huge couch in the reading nook area ensures comfort for all.
With spending so many years renting ourselves we have really tried to provide everything one could possibly want and need during a vacation. Just show up and start enjoying!
