About this property

Lakefront home with something to enjoy for every season!

Come and relax with the serenity of all that Silver Lake has to offer! We are on a quiet section of the lake, and enjoy the call of the loons. You are sure to see them swimming by as well!
In the woods on Silver Lake this modern cabin has a kitchen with microwave and all amenities including coffee maker and espresso machine. Living/dining room overlooking Silver Lake with 3 French doors opening on a nice deck for having a cup of blueberry coffee. No need to worry about finding a laundromat as there are a washer and dryer in the basement. The master bedroom, with a high queen bed, is up the open stairway overlooking the deck and lake. Books, DVDs, puzzles, and games are at your disposal. Each bedroom has its own TV/DVD. This quiet cabin is 45 minutes north of Bangor, ME between Lincoln and Lee.

Like to hike? Like to ride your four-wheeler? Like to just sit and drink blueberry coffee and do nothing?! This is the place to do it! Lots of trails right behind the house. Canoeing is a good option also. Bring your best four-legged friend and hang out at the Lake!

In the area: Also in the area are restaurants in Lincoln and Lee, with a hospital with ER in Lincoln only 9 miles away. In Lincoln also are a WalMart and Hannaford grocery. Plenty of gift shops and antique shops are in the area as well has horseback riding.

For those in a gambling mood Bangor has a casino. And Maine is also the home of Stephen King! Perhaps you will pass him on the street!

Beautiful peaceful home on lake

This property was absolutely beautiful. The homes open concept with cathedral ceilings are gorgeous. The lake view from the bedroom upstairs is so relaxing. More than i imagined. We will definitely be back to enjoy this property and all the lake has to offer. The hosts are amazing as well.

Maine Magic at Its Finest

James is an incredibly gracious host who has truly thought of every detail to make your stay special. From the personalized welcome note to a separate one just for our dog (complete with treats!), we felt warmly welcomed from the moment we arrived.The house is stocked with absolutely everything you could need—and then some. I brought so many things I never even unpacked because James already had it all covered. We drove in through a storm, turning our 5-hour trip into a 7-hour trek, but the moment we stepped inside, it was all worth it.The spacious open floor plan, high cathedral ceilings, and peaceful view of the lake created the perfect atmosphere for relaxation. The photos truly don’t do this property justice. Our teens loved the board games, and I loved curling up on the couch with a good book—it’s the coziest spot to read and recharge.Highly recommend this home for anyone looking for comfort, beauty, and thoughtful touches that make a stay unforgettable.

Maine paradise

Did not communicate with homeowners. Based rating on others. Home as stated in listing. Listing does not justify the property. The lake just outside your door, with a million dollar view. Its what most would like to see every morning with their coffee! Found it easily and will recommend to anyone that wants a little piece of Maine's paradise.

Christmas Vacation

For the second consecutive year we spent an intimate family Christmas nestled on the shores of Silver Lake at the Silver Loon Cottage. A fresh eight inches of snow made our Hallmark Christmas a reality, as did the little details James had in place for us...A Christmas tree and decorations already up for our arrival brought the biggest smile to our boys' faces...the chocolate and wine on the sideboard were a welcome sight for mom and dad after our eleven hour drive from Pennsylvania. Even our dogs (Lincoln and Rangeley...named after Maine towns) seemed to smile all week and certainly didn't miss our four cats at home. Early in the week local family visited, while on Christmas day we didn't even get out of our pajamas...We were perfectly content! Thank you James for sharing your little slice of heaven with our family, giving us a cozy escape in our very own Winter Wonderland.Aaron, Jody, Dylan, Andy, Rangeley & Lincoln.P.S. The stars at night are absolutely stunning...

Feels like being home

House is very warm and welcoming. Has everything you could possibly need. Daisy had fun exploring the thicket and woods. I loved that James provided a cable to hook her on if needed, dog beds and bowls are also provided. Very dog friendly. I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful little getaway

James provided my friend and I with the perfect accommodations for a long weekend getaway! Checkin was very easy, the house was clean, and everything was very thoughtful. The kitchen was so well stocked with cookware and all of the small appliances (coffeemaker, toaster oven, air fryer, slow cooker, you name it). The beds were comfortable and there were plenty of towels. We LOVED the quadruple sliding glass doors that let us lounge in the living room but still feel connected to the outdoors! Plus the grill, fire pit, and canoe - we had an amazing, relaxing time and would absolutely stay here again

Perfect gateway

This is a beautiful home with everything you would want in your quiet gateway. James is an excellent host, great communication and he made sure our stay was enjoyable. Thanks for the wine and blueberry coffee plus the extra😀. Much appreciated. This is a pet friendly home yet it was very clean. Occasional fur here and there is expected. I always carry my portable air purifier with me whenever i go on vacation. Our pet needed an extra day to be fully comfortable, she was being dora the explorer 😀. this is maybe a vrbo problem but the location gps takes you is for the wrong house. Make sure you follow the directions james provided. Next time we vacation in maine, this home is going to be our place to stay.

Marathon and Chill

Came to Maine to run a marathon. We were lucky enough to find this residence instead of a hotel. I’m glad that we did. It’s a charming cabin that is very pet friendly if you bring a pet. Chilling out on the dock and listening to the loons while boaters cruise by was very relaxing. The owner is very available and easy to communicate with. If there was any one thing that needed additional attention, it would be the cleaning. The person who does the cleaning probably needs one of those Swiffers with a telescopic pole to get the pesky cobwebs and dog hair tumbleweeds. But with that said, it’s a wonderful property that I’d love to stay at for a week or so.

Absolutely fabulous lake house!

Beautiful location - even better than the pictures. The house is roomy and comfortable. The little extras were lovely (wine and blueberry coffee). Everything you need is provided except your food! We canoed, kayaked, hiked and enjoyed the views and the provided entertainment inside the house (movies, foosball, board games and video games). We enjoyed cooking out on the grill. We loved hearing and seeing loons daily. I wholeheartedly recommend this lake house. The owner was very responsive. We hope to return soon!

About the host

Hosted by James Caplinger

James bought the house as a retirement home. BUT he knew that retirement was a long way in the future so he outfitted it like he would like to see it and decided to rent it out so others could enjoy the beauty and peacefulness of Maine.
When we met he said he would never be able to see Maine again...as he had lived there as a young man and went to school for college there. This proves him wrong!!

Why they chose this property

We looked at homes in Vermont and New Hampshire because we thought Maine was totally out of the price range. But Maine is where we both wanted to be. He found this one on his own and I got to pick between two. This one is the winner!
