About the host
Hosted by Jim & Jennifer Wickenden
The cottage has been in the same family continuously.
Why they chose this property
This is one of the first cottages built on Megunticook Lake in the late 1800's by the Babb Family, with 180 degree views of the lake, the Fernald's Neck nature preserve, Maiden Cliff, and the Camden Hills. It has undergone many renovations and updates since then, but still retains the authentic air and charm of a classic Maine lake cottage. The cottage was featured in Conde Nast's Bon Appetit magazine (August 2016 edition).
What makes this property unique
Positioned to have exceptional views of Megunticook Lake and the Camden Hills; excellent boating and deep water swimming off dock.
