Jill's lake house is underrated. There is a lot more to the new, beautiful house sitting on one of the most gorgeous lakes in New England. Yes, the lake was absolutely amazing to explore, fish in, swim in, and gaze at. Yes, the house gave my family a chance to unplug, break out board games, connect and bond. But, the neighbors are welcoming and friendly. One family happily greeted us just after we arrived. Others gave us helpful advice. The surrounding area of Standish and Sebago, Bridgton, and Gorham are true communities. We made quick trips out to local markets and farm stands for treats that cannot be found in big box stores -- homemade coffee cake, blueberry pie, maple syrup, fresh fruits and vegetables, and more. Jill gave us a list of things to do, but those suggestions are only starting tips. Her lake house is perfectly positioned. Aside from being local to many charming towns, it is only 30 - 40 minutes from Portland and an hour from popular tourist destinations like Freeport and Kennebunkport. The most important factor to keep in mind while making a decision on where to stay in Maine is Jill. She took good care of us to ensure our stay was as delightful as possible. She has an attention to detail, making sure the little things that matter are addressed. If you are looking for a place to enjoy Maine with those you love, I cannot think of a better property.
