Sheepscot Lake House ideal for swim, boat, fish with private dock on water
Escape to the peaceful beauty of mid-coast Maine at this stunning lakefront retreat on serene Sheepscot Lake. Nestled on private and picturesque Bald Head Island, conveniently connected by a causeway so you can drive directly to the home. This fully renovated four-season getaway is the perfect place to unplug, relax, and experience classic Maine lake life.
Facing west for spectacular sunsets, the home offers nearly 180-degree lake views through oversized picture windows and expansive wraparound porches and decks. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning mist, swimming off the dock on a summer afternoon, or listening to loons by the campfire at night, every moment here feels quintessentially Maine.
With 3 upstairs bedrooms plus a cozy downstairs sunroom/bedroom, the house provides plenty of space to relax comfortably. Thoughtfully decorated themed bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and inviting indoor and outdoor living areas create a warm and peaceful atmosphere year-round.
The fully renovated kitchen is stocked with everything you need for home-cooked meals, including lobster pots because this is Maine after all. After a day on the water, settle in by the fireplace, enjoy a movie on the large TV, or unwind under the stars beside the firepit.
The lakefront is just steps from the porch and features your own private deep-water dock perfect for swimming, diving, fishing, or launching the included watercraft. Guests have access to 2 paddleboards, 1 canoe, 1 large kayak, and 3 small kayaks for exploring the crystal-clear lake at their own pace.

About the host
Hosted by Deanne
We are a family of 4 who enjoy the Sheepscot Lake house with our girls and hope you all enjoy it as much as we do!
Why they chose this property
Bald Head Island is a quiet private peninsula with woods behind you and lake in front. This cozy community is quiet and friendly and charming. We love the proximity to Belfast and Camden when we can tear ourselves away from the lake!
What makes this property unique
There are many lake homes that are too far from the lake or the lake is full of grasses and muck but not here. Sheepscot lake is crystal clear and lovely to swim in or paddle on. The house isn’t run down or dirty. It’s newly renovated with modern appliances and conveniences so you can feel right at home the second you walk in the door. This is our home away from home and we are happy to share it with you.
