This charming cottage right on the Lake is a great respite for couples or small families who cherish spending time together and enjoying the sights and sounds of Maine at its best. House and deck overlook a broad expanse on this pristine lake. If you can't find relaxation here, you will never find it anywhere.

This three bedroom home has a queen bed master bedroom where you awake to the beautiful lake right at your window. A second queen bed guest room also has a view of the water, and there are 2 twins in the upstairs loft. A recently added finished basement room and 1/2 bath add additional space and lovely view of lake from the lower level.

The cottage has all the amenities you'd expect in a well furnished, very clean house. The house, deck, 100' waterfront and expanded dock offer excellent privacy. Three kayaks, 2 paddle boards are available for your use.

This house is ideally situated on Embden's favored East Shore, which is bathed in the afternoon sun that displays breathtaking sunsets across the lake. Our expanded deck and screened gazebo offer a spectacular view and ideal relaxation spot. Enjoy a good novel lakeside, kayaking, or a campfire at the fire pit. Equipped with wireless internet, check on "business" if you must. Young or old, there is something for everyone here. Pets are not allowed at this rental.

Beautiful location

We had a wonderful family getaway. The house was gorgeous, there were lots of things for us to use, and the location was terrific! Anne was very patient with my questions and answered everything, even taking some pictures to help. She went out of her way to make sure our stay was fabulous, and it was. We would go back in a heartbeat!

We had a great stay in this warm, cozy and such pretty house. Loved our tome on the lake.

Everything was clean, accessible, lake is magical, we used canoes, boats, made s’mores. Etc. We will definitely come back. Thank you Anne for making our stay so wonderful.

As advertised!

If you are looking for a quiet lakeside retreat in the foothills of western Maine and don't want to sacrifice comfort, this is the place! A wall of windows facing the lake greets you when you walk in. At night the call of the loons serenades you. This cabin has it all - two paddleboards, three kayaks, a canoe, and a row boat. For rainy days and nights there are tons of board games, books to read and puzzles along with satellite television and DVD player (but why turn it on?). The views are amazing. There's a screened gazebo with comfortable chairs to enjoy bug-free reading or visiting with friends and family. The owner always responds promptly to any questions and has provided many suggestions for nearby places to visit. The pictures on the website look great but they don't do it justice. If you've ever feared that a place may not live up to expectations you need not worry with this rental. Our family loved our time here and will hopefully be back.

We had a fabulous time at camp Daly! The camp was clean and had everything we needed!

Ann was very helpful and responsive and did everything to ensure we had an amazing week! We kayaked, boated, tubed, biked, swam and sat by the camp fire! It was a fun filled week.
