Jean, one of the owners, grew up spending vacations on the lake. A favorite spot of hers, and her father and his brothers before her was a remote sandy beach you could only access by boat. When the property came up for sale many years later, she and her husband Rob bought it. Working with a local conservation group, the character of the land has been preserved. 35 homes are spread out over the 1.5 mile stretch of the lake in a private community. Now the beach is a short walk away - and private to Jean and Rob's property. It's a very quiet spot, and remains, to many, the loveliest spot on the lake.
Great swimming and boating. Small gas grill and picnic table, beach chairs on beach. Kayaks are provided or bring your own boat and beach it on the white sand. There is a boat launch private to the community. Eat-in heated sunporch. Grocery stores, golf, hospital, restaurants 10 minutes away. Fish for bass, landlocked salmon, or white perch.

About the host
Hosted by Jean or Rob Lawlis
Jean and Rob like to kayak, cross country ski, hike, and read. Both are Mainers by birth and choice. Jean is a retired engineer and math teacher. Rob is a semi-retired attorney. Rob is originally from northern Maine and Jean's family is from the area where the cottage is located. Shown in photograph are Jean and Rob and their three kids, Sonya, David, and Robby. David is a chef, Sonya a veterinarian and Robby a hospital executive. All love Maine, but jobs have taken them away ;-(
Why they chose this property
Meddybemps Lake is where Jean's grandparents built a cottage in the 1920s and where both she and her father spent many happy summers growing up.
What makes this property unique
Summers at the lake are hard to beat. It's a cool place to ride out the heatwaves in other states. The average daytime high in July/August is 77 degrees. During the hottest day in 2022, the temperature in Calais reached 90. In the shade, on the beach we were very comfortable - in the low 80s and a nice breeze. Temperature at night usually drops to the 60s. Lovely in the fall.
