About this property

Home is perfect for large groups and families with lake access and close to town

Located in the village of Bridgton, Trees offers an unparalleled combination of comfort, space, privacy and convenience - all within an easy walk to town. Enjoy the house and yard on the main property, and a private dock / lakeside lot with 30' of waterfront across the street, with a mooring for your boat. While close to town, Trees sits on four acres of wooded space that gives plenty of privacy around the house and a large one acre front yard for your pets and kids to have a place to play.  Large families and groups will find that there is very little you need to bring except yourselves so you can focus on enjoying your vacation and not worrying about what you forgot or need to pick up. The fully equipped kitchen and well stocked pantry gives you almost everything you need to prepare meals for your guests. The kitchen is equipped with all of the traditional pots and pans, and includes Instipot, air fryer, food processor, crock pot and blenders. The pantry is stocked with many essential staples to minimize your trips to the grocery store for stables. There are two main dining areas that each can accommodate eight to ten guests, the traditional living room and screened in dining porch with access to outside grill. There is a breakfast table in the kitchen for smaller gatherings and a picnic table off the screened in dining porch.  Our unique, historic property features multiple spaces for dining and relaxing, and plenty of room inside and outside for gathering, while still having space to unwind. Go back in time to a turn of the century summer retreat, with all the modern convenience and comfort of today. This property is designed for large families and groups to spend their time together with the space and accommodations to not feel crowded. With five bedrooms, and office/spare room and two sleeping / sunporches off the two front bedrooms we have eight sleeping spaces with a total of eight beds to give you plenty of space to spread out, relax and sleep in comfort.  Ready to enjoy the great Maine outdoors? Our outside amenities include the private lake lot across the road from the main house / property, boats to enjoy, a private dock with a mooring, right next to the town ramp and beach. Two kayaks and a canoe with paddles and PFDs for your use means you can take a break on the lake whenever you want. The firepit is perfect for a relaxing end of day with comfortable Adirondack chairs to enjoy the sunset and relax next to the smokeless Breeo fire pit.  Need to work? Our high speed internet (+400 MBS) and multiple rooms provide you with the essentials to stay connected.  Bridgton is a family oriented community with something for everyone, including kids and four-legged family members. In addition to pristine Highland Lake, the town has multiple wooded hiking trails, shopping, restaurants, two movie venues (one drive in!),multiple performing arts centers, art galleries, and an art/inventions museum! 

Want to explore beyond Bridgton? Hiking, outlet shopping, bike trails, and day trips to western Maine and North Conway, NH, are all easily accessible by car.  See all summer has to offer while experiencing the way life should be!

Holiday Family Getaway
Our family (4 generations plus dogs) stayed for four nights over new year’s weekend. The owners accommodated us at the last minute when our other rental fell through. They were so responsive and helpful, even provided a pack and play for our 1 year old granddaughter. The house was spacious, comfortable, and very well appointed with kitchen equipment and supplies. Being walking distance to Bridgton village was a plus, yet at the same time, the home felt private and the neighborhood was quiet. Would definitely visit again!

Beautiful home with a fascinating history!
Since booking, the homeowners were super responsive, and allowed us to take the lead on how much or how little contact we wanted while staying at their home. The house was very clean, and though quite old, felt very up to date. They provided a book with the history of the house, that was very interesting. Beach view from the house, as well as access to a private dock across the street. The use of kayaks and canoes was very taken advantage of every day. I highly recommend this home!

Perfect winter getaway!
Trees was a perfectly lovely spot to be away for a few days! Cozy in the snow with a lovely view. And so close to Pleasant Mtn. Our hosts quickly answered any questions we had. Highly recommend!

HI, I am Caroline.

I moved to Trees on the Lake with my parents and big sister in 1969. I grew up in Bridgton, and have had the please to share my parents' home with my husband and daughters (including my fur baby Skylar!) for the last twenty years. This past winter my
Dad decided it was time to downsize and he moved into a senior living community to be closer to me and my family. I am pleased to be offering my childhood house to visitors to Bridgton Maine. I am know you will be making some wonderful memories with your family during your stay at this special home and place!

Why they chose this property

Trees has a storied past as a place where "summer folks" came to get away from the heat and enjoy a tranquil setting. Feel like you've stepped back to a time when the rhythms of life were less hurried!

What makes this property unique

You can be almost completely car free if you like once you arrive - walk to town, movie theater, open air music nights, playgrounds, and outdoor farmers' market in season. There's a child-friendly public beach with lifeguard just steps away from the house, and a private dock for you.
