Beautiful family friendly stay

What a beautiful spot. Swimming was amazing. Kayaks and canoe were a treat. The fact that it was dog friendly was the cherry on top. Hosts were super friendly.

This is a fantastic property. The accommodations are very well taken care of, clean, no odors, and comfortable. Enjoy the sound of the loons at night and the easy walk down to the lake. The landlord is responsive and helpful. We enjoyed the canoes, docks, plentiful seating area to read a book and watch the lake, and large grassy area for games during our stay. If you're looking for a relaxing Maine getaway, give these camps a try!

Great location, great place.

The property was very clean and well-appointed with everything you might need. Hosts were very welcoming. Location on Messalonskee Lake was perfect for mixing lake activities like fishing and swimming with lawn activities. Between grilling, morning coffee, and just relaxing, the covered porch got a workout. Pet friendly was a real perk.

Nice long weekend on Messalonskee near NEMC

Ideal location (10min drive) for our long weekend stay near the New England Music Camp. Complete amenities for relaxing by the lake and preparing simple meals. Pet friendly policies made this the ideal choice for everyone in our friends and family. Some may find accessing the loft through the garage and laundry a bit industrial, but the loft itself is a clean, bright, and a comfortable space.

Serenity by the lake

The loft is adorable inside and we did enjoy our stay by the lake, it was very relaxing although we did not spend as much time there as we hoped. It was very close to family which we loved. Not having internet was a problem because we had some work and school assignments to complete. We found the owners to be very friendly and responsive. We would stay there again! Thank you Doug and Jennifer!!

Beautiful lake

This property is great for families. The property is shared with 3 other camps. Little privacy but other renters were friendly. Steep hills to walk up from the beach area. Steep stairs to walk up to the loft. Other renters are able to use the downstairs washer and dryer so lots of early morning wake up from other campers noise. The owners are extremely nice and accomodating. Friendly campers offered us fried dough on our first night. Another camper offered us a beautiful sunset cruise on the pontoon boat. The lake water and beach area are very clean and beautiful! We enjoyed our stay very much! Julie

About the host

Hosted by Jennifer Manter

Host profile image
Summer Haven Properties is more than just a lakeside getaway—it’s a family story spanning generations.

Back in 1955, Mom and Dad Manter found a wooded lot with over 400 feet of beautiful waterfront and saw the perfect place to build their dream. Over the years, it became a place where family gathered, children played in the water until sunset, and memories were made around campfires under the stars.

When they passed, Doug and his sister Dawn felt incredibly blessed to keep this piece of heaven in the family. In 2020, Doug and his wife Jenn, along with Dawn and her husband Alan, came together to continue this legacy by creating Summer Haven Properties.

Thanks to over 25 years of repeat guests who have become like family, we’re able to share this lakeside dream with others, helping you and your loved ones create your own unforgettable moments.

It would be our honor to share Mom and Dad’s lifelong dream with you and your family, so you can experience the joy, peace, and connection that Summer Haven has given us for generations.

Why they chose this property

Tucked along the quiet southwestern side of Snow Pond, this property sits at the widest part of the lake, offering peaceful mornings and stunning sunset views over the water. Here, the shallower waters warm up beautifully in the summer, making it perfect for long, relaxing swim days.

A large sandy beach invites kids to play and build sandcastles while the gentle, shallow waters near the dock offer a safe, fun place for little ones to splash and swim. For older kids—and kids at heart—the floating dock becomes the perfect launch pad for diving contests and cannonballs that echo across the lake.

Directly across the water, the Belgrade Stream offers some of the best fishing in all of Maine, with record-setting catches and peaceful early morning outings for those eager to cast a line.

Whether you’re watching the sunrise with a coffee in hand, swimming all afternoon, or fishing at dusk, this lakeside setting is designed for making the most of every summer moment.

What makes this property unique

Unique to this property is a sandy beach, one of very few on the lake.
