About this property

Lakefront, private dock & deck, dog friendly, fast wifi on crystal clear Panther

This lakefront cabin with a charming deck, is set just 25 feet from the water. Panther Pond, a mile wide and two miles long, remains quiet with limited motor boating, even in the height of summer. There is a deep water dock and mooring, a sandy bottom and a swimming raft. Boats for your use include 3 Kayaks, 2 Paddle Boards, a sunfish sailboat and a 12' John boat with oars. Crescent Lake can be accessed by the Tenney River, and Panther Pond feeds into Sebago Lake. Rattlesnake Mountain trail leads to a great view of the Lakes Region and the White Mountains. Enjoy the sound of loons and watch for bald eagles soaring overhead.

Wonderful place to stay—the deck is the best!

Great improvement to the property. This is a super place to spend time on the lake with swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and just sitting on the deck staring at Panther Pond and listening to loons!

Beautiful Maine Camp

My family of four (kids 9 and 13) stayed for a week and had a blast. The cottage is comfortable and has everything you could need, both inside and out. And of course, Panther Pond is awesome.

The best!

We could not have been happier with this little slice of heaven on Panther pond. We made the best memories here with our kids, fishing, paddle boarding, sailing and enjoying the peace and quiet of the lake. The house is adorable and had everything we needed. We can't wait to come back next year!

Spectacular views & comfy, cozy cabin

Our family spent every possible moment outdoors during our visit to this cabin. The owners did a lovely job in providing for our needs (especially nice to have lots of fans since we had a couple of 90 degree days!). Panther Pond is a delightfully peaceful location that is convenient to Windham. Looking forward to returning next summer!

Pure heaven….

Liz is one of the best hosts we’ve ever stayed with. Communicative and the house was stocked chock-full with spices and paper towels, and TP and even an orange and some other fresh fruit when we arrived. The deck is sublime-incredible views while sitting in the middle of a forest almost, in the shade.

Great family vacation

We really enjoyed our time on Panther Pond. The lake water is clear, clean, and overall fairly quiet compared to some of the bigger lakes around this area. The camp had everything we needed with an incredible view of the lake, so close to the water! The new dock gave us plenty of room to sit by the water. Also, there were fire works all around the lake on both the 3rd and 4th. Liz is a great host and I would recommend this to any family looking for a "lake life" vacation.

Wonderful!

My family and I loved the Raymond area and the cottage! The sandy cove is perfect for families with little children. The house was clean and the kitchen stocked with all the cooking utensils needed. The upstairs did heat up quite a bit on hot days so my family slept downstairs, where there is still plenty of room to spread out. Will look forward to returning in the future and making more memories 😊❤️

Our host, Liz, was an AMAZING communicator. Prompt, kind, and helpful. The home was clean and cozy, lots of space for 6 adults and 2 dogs. Comfy couches and beds. West side of Panther Pond gave us beautiful sunrises and sun all day. So many outdoor spaces to enjoy, including fire pit. QUIET, QUIET, QUIET. Just the lapping of the lake and birds/loons. Had everything we needed for water fun, kayaks, floats, paddle board, fins and masks, and more! Huge dock to swim from and floating dock for even more diving/swimming fun! Would TOTALLY stay here again!!

Wonderful Week on Panther Pond

This was our first family trip to Maine and we could not have asked for a better place to stay for a relaxing week on a beautiful Maine lake. Panther Pond is on the quiet side with some boating activity but not the crazy chaotic kind. The home was well furnished and came with a lot of amenities to take advantage of the lake - kayaks, paddleboards, floats, sail boat, etc. The deck has a great view of the lake and we used the grill and fire pit that were provided as well. The home was clean and comfortable. Liz checked in to make sure all was okay. The community is very friendly and the area had several good restaurants and we even played a round of mini golf. We would highly recommend this property!

Perfect Lake Getaway

We loved spending time at Panther Pond. The house was perfect and fit our family of 5, the rooms were small but comfortable. I especially loved the quiet mornings reading out on the deck, enjoying the call of the loons. The house had several life jackets and the kids loved the paddle board and kayaks. Liz was a wonderful host and very responsive. The house had everything we needed.

Panther Pond Is a Treasure

The property is has an incredible view of the lake, and the access to the lake is excellent. The house is clean and comfortable and the kitchen is well equipped for meal preparation. Swimming, fishing, kayaking and paddle-boarding on/in a large, clean and in many sections, heavily wooded and natural Maine lake is only a few steps away from the back deck. Although on the weekends and evenings the powerboat and waterskiing scene picks up, for a lake of this size, paddle sport enthusiasts are going to have a hard time finding a location more inviting and rewarding.

Wonderful Stay at a Lovely Cottage

We had a great week on Panther Pond! The cottage is well set up and very comfortable. The lake and view of an undeveloped peninsula are beautiful. The cottage is nestled in with other cottages in a neighborhood, but it is still very private and peaceful. We would definitely stay here again!

Nice cabin and great owners

Our stay at the Panther Pond cabin was enjoyable. In the mornings when there is no wind at all, the lake is absolutely beautiful. There are many nearby restaurants and grocery stores, most are less than a 10minute drive away. For seafood, we particularly liked the lobster rolls at a nearby hole-in-the-wall place called Fisherman's catch, and the bbq at Buck's Naked BBQ was great. You are in good hands renting from these owners, their communication with us was excellent from the moment we initially contacted them about renting the cabin. While we were there we had a minor issue that occurred relating to some services at the cabin, and the owners dealt with it very swiftly and to our satisfaction.

Fall getaway

What a wonderful cabin for a stay on Panther Pond. It is very spacious and clean. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed. There was everything we needed for water activities too. Although we were only a party of two, there is plenty of space for a family to spread out and not be on top of each other. Panther Pond itself is a very nice size for exploring. We went out in the kayaks almost every day. We could hear and see the loons every day. Our host Liz was very easy to communicate with and very responsive to questions. I would recommend this cabin and look forward to returning for a visit.

Wonderful Property!

This classic Maine camp enjoys a special location in a quiet cove on one of Maine’s quietest and prettiest lakes. Having spent summers on this lake as a child, 65 years later the lake is remarkably the same. The view from the deck is spectacular, looking across to one of the last untouched peninsulas on the lake. The neighbors were quiet and respectful— and this classic camp took us back a bygone era. The owners are friendly, responsive and consistently helpful. The camp is well supplied and has all the conveniences of a modern home. There are two kayaks, a rowboat and a sailboat to explore the lake, along with all necessary safety equipment. Our two weeks were peaceful and restful, passing all too quickly. My wife and I highly recommend this special property. We’ve been back twice and look forward to returning. Our stay reminded us of what a writer years ago wrote about summer in Maine— "God is in his heaven…. but he’d rather be in Maine"!

Why they chose this property

Liz and John have been coming to Maine for years to enjoy Maine summers. All the children have gone to local camps and have grown up on Maine lakes.
