About this property

Maplewood Lakehouse in Newport

 5 minutes from I95 in Newport, this stunning 3-story lakehouse sits steps from the water and minutes from Walmart, grocery stores and local restaurants. 250ft of water frontage and surrounded by 5 acres of beautiful grass lawn, it offers peace and seclusion on Sebasticook Lake. Boat rentals available right on the lake. The spacious 3000sqft Lakehouse offers plenty of parking, and is a 30 min drive away from concerts and live entertainment in Bangor and 40 mins from the coast and Colby College.



Guests have access to the 40ft dock and beautiful Sebasticook Lake water, perfect for swimming, fishing and water sports. Boat rentals are available at the marina on the lake! The large platform at the end of the 40ft dock makes for comfortable boarding and securing of your boat during your stay. There are 6 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, floats for lounging in the water and a paddleboat on site as well as life jackets for children and adults.

Dining tables with umbrellas and chairs that can accommodate 16 can be found on the wraparound deck. Enjoy the beautiful waterfront and recline by the shore under the shade on the shoreline with our 10 lakeside rocking chairs.

Maplewood Lake House offers a premium, peaceful Maine lakefront experience without sacrificing all the modern conveniences. High speed wireless internet and a strong cellular data signal keep you connected anywhere you go, inside and out.

Public boat launch is a 5 minute drive away with gas stations and grocery stores along the way. Walmart, Aubuchon Hardware, Advance Auto Parts, Tractor Supply, Dunkin' Donuts, McDonalds are just some of the conveniences that can be found just a 5 minute drive from Maplewood Lake House. Acadia National Park is a little over an hour drive away, and Sugarloaf Mountain is about a 1.5 hour drive from the lake house.

5 acres of lawn allows guests plenty of space and privacy to enjoy their Maine lakefront vacation in peace. Lawn games, fire pit (with access to on-site firewood) as well as a volleyball net are available as well.

The shoreline can be rocky so be sure to bring some flip flops or water shoes. A short, gentle walk across the beautiful grass lawn will allow you easy access to the shoreline and water front. The dock can be found underneath oak and maple trees along the shoreline, providing a nice shady spot out of the sun to lounge near the water. In addition to the dock, a separate area on the shore offers a large clear, gentle slope into the water that is perfect for launching kayaks and paddleboards. The water level at the end of the dock is about 6ft deep and begins to drop beginning on September 15 for annual lake maintenance.

5 Burner grill and 36in blackstone griddle can be found on the large wraparound water-facing deck that is perfect for outdoor entertaining. There is three 65in roku smart TV's and three separate living spaces for recharging after a day of lakeside adventures.

Popular snowmobile and ATV destination, Moosehead Trail is just a few minutes down the road and is part of the Maine Interconnected Trail System. The Large driveway provides plenty of room to park snowmobiles, ATVs and recreational vehicles for all your off-roading adventures.

Coming from a large family that uses Airbnb's to reunite with loved ones, we wanted to offer a space that helps bring families and groups together to create memories that will last lifetimes. We love spending time at the lake house with our dogs and we are happy to offer our space to you and your dogs as well!

The house and property were even better than the photos and Craig was a great host, even leaving us a welcome bag and personal note. I also really appreciate that the home was dog-friendly as our city pup had the best time of her life.

Check-in was seamless. The kitchen is large with a long center island allowing for multiple people to help with meal prep. There is a large fridge with a roll out freezer on the bottom. There is lots of room for dining on the deck. The waterfront was great with a large dock for tying up the party boat we rented. There are life jackets of many sizes. There is a rack of kayaks, paddle boards, and a paddle boat with easy access to the water separate from the swimming/ docking area. Great place!

So I am reviewing your beautiful home and all the great things to do at the house. The kids loved the fishing. One of the favorites. The volleyball slash badminton was a huge hit with the girls. The kayaks were clean and had life jackets were also very clean the rooms were good size especially the huge room that my cousin ended up with. We drew straws. The outdoor grill was a big hit grilled everything on its game changer. Bathrooms were very clean when we arrived. My favorite thing was going on the trail up the road a bit. I wish we could have stayed longer.wanted to see moose but settled with plenty of deer. And there was the restaurants. They were all very good. The sea dog brewery was excellent. All the scenery was fantastic. Hoping to get up there next year. Thank you for sharing the great experience. Thank you again. I will suggest to some of my friends and family.

Beautiful Rental

This large house on the water was wonderful for our large group! We highly recommend for your next vacation!The owner, Craig, was incredibly easy to communicate with, responding to questions quickly and friendly.The property was extremely clean!! The kitchen had everything we needed for indoor and outdoor cooking. There was a grill and Blackstone, which was a nice surprise to all the grillin' husbands. The deck was nice for outdoor eating, as well as games and relaxing time with everyone. The lawn was huge, which allowed us to set up the volley ball net we found in the garage. The garage also had a ping pong table, darts, and plenty of space to hang out. The laundry room was an added bonus! They also had everything we need for a toddler. All six bedrooms were spacious. There is a first floor bedroom if your guest had a difficult time with stairs. The upstairs master had its own sitting room that over looked the water. The kids really loved the basement! They had their own space to sleep (2 bedrooms), watch tv (large tv with sectional), and play games (there were plenty of fun games there for them and us to try). Now to the most important part for us, the water! This house offered a beautiful view of the lake from most of the bedrooms, living room, kitchen, and deck. We were able to kayak, boat, and fish. It was a little too cold to swim during our visit, but the lake was clean for swimming.

Perfect Gathering Spot!

The Maplewood Lakehouse is the PERFECT spot to gather with friends and family! The home itself is huge and inviting, but it's location to the town of Newport for gas, groceries, and take-out make it really stand out. This home has SO many bedrooms to accomodate our large group. We really appreciated having spaces to both be together (multiple living rooms, the game room/garage, and the kitchen/dining spaces) as well as the many bedrooms to have quiet space to recharge as well. And that's just the spaces INSIDE the home. Although we stayed here in March, we are really looking forward to returning in other seasons to enjoy the deck, the lake, and the ample yard space. The kids really enjoyed walking down the road to see more lake views, and we appreciated the fact that the home's location on a dead-end road made it safer for them to do so. We're looking forward to exploring the nearby ATV trail on our bikes next time we stay! In addition, my daughter is a wheelchair user. It can be really difficult to find a property that is comfortable and accomodates her care and mobility needs as well as this one does. We especially appreciated a first floor bathroom and bedroom (with lake view and deck access!), as well as the folding ramp left in the garage to eliminate the challenge of navigating the 3 steps into the home. I would highly recommend this property for multi-generational get-aways for extended families. You won't find a more comfortable property for your group!

About the host

Hosted by Craig Sinclair

Host profile image
Born in New Hampshire and raised in Maine, I enjoy spending time exploring the white mountains of New Hampshire and the beautiful parks and beaches of Maine with my wife and two golden retrievers.

Why they chose this property

Sebasticook Lake in Newport is an absolutely perfect place for spending time in nature and enjoying everything the lake has to offer. We love the peace, quiet, and privacy that the low traffic of Maplewood Rd. offers. Our golden retrievers love coming here and spending time exploring the lake and reconnecting with nature.

What makes this property unique

Easily accessible by being 5 minutes from the interstate, we love how easy a drive it is to get here no matter what the weather looks like. The large lawn that gently slopes down to the lake, allowing for great water accessibility is one of our favorite things about the property. We've made so many great memories playing lawn games and entertaining our families here. There's also nothing like having the waterfront space to enjoy activities like fishing, swimming and tossing balls for the dogs in the water.
