About this property

Family & Pet Friendly Lakefront Getaway Awaits in Shapleigh, Maine.

Relax and enjoy everything our lakefront cottage has to offer. We provide all bed linens and towels, along with a fully equipped kitchen featuring a coffee maker, blender, toaster, crockpot, propane grill, cookware, dishes, and utensils. Stay connected with complimentary WiFi and enjoy the convenience of an in-home washer and dryer.

The first floor includes a fully equipped kitchen, a separate queen bedroom, and an updated full bathroom with a stand-up shower. Please note that the bathroom is more compact than those found in many newer homes, but it has been thoughtfully updated and is fully functional.

Upstairs, you'll find two additional bedrooms: one with a queen bed and another with a queen bed and a twin-over-twin bunk bed, making the cottage a great fit for families and groups.

The semi-finished walkout basement is the perfect place to unwind with a game of ping pong or store extra food and drinks in the second refrigerator/freezer. A convenient half bath is easily accessible from both the backyard and the waterfront.

Step outside to enjoy 50 feet of private waterfront. Spend the day kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, rowing, or cruising in the pedal boat. In the evening, fire up the propane grill (starter propane included; refill station nearby), then gather around the fire pit and relax under the stars.

Guests have full access to the property and waterfront, including:

3 kayaks
2 stand-up paddleboards
1 canoe
1 rowboat
1 pedal boat
Life jackets for guests of all ages

Neighborhood: Our cottage is located in a friendly, established lake community where neighbors know one another and enjoy spending time outdoors. You may occasionally see neighbors chatting or walking nearby, and some have friendly dogs that are off leash. If you're traveling with a dog that is reactive or prefers extra space from other dogs, we recommend keeping your pet leashed and supervised while outdoors.

About the host

Hosted by Heidi Mahoney & Marc Dupuis

Host profile image
We grew up in Southern Maine and enjoy everything this great State has to offer, from Hiking, biking, swimming, surfing, kayaking and running we try to do it all. We spend as much time outside in nature as we can. We love to travel and explore but there is nothing like coming home to Maine.

Why they chose this property

Because we've lived in Maine our whole lives we knew we wanted to buy a lakeside property so that we could share a little piece of our lives with others. We take pride in offering an experience to our guests that they will talk about for years to come.
