Description
What does a classic Maine cottage with 300′ of lakefront look like? Stay here and discover the answer! You’ll enjoy loons on Upper Range Pond (a medium-sized lake), jumping off our private dock and float into beautiful clear water and using our 2 kayaks and canoe. Have dinner on the screened-in porch or make s’mores in the fire pit on the sandy beach. Wonderfully quiet, private location only 40 minutes away from Portland.We’re committed to sustainability with eco-friendly cleaning products and lighting.THE SPACE– In addition to three bedrooms, there is a private loft with queen bed that’s accessed through one of the bunk bedrooms. It’s suitable for agile people because one needs to climb a sturdy ladder to get up to it. There is also a roll-away bed (for a child) available.– There are two heat sources in the main living area: a beautiful stone fireplace and a propane furnace which pumps hot air through floor grates. Please stay off the grates when furnace is on because they can get hot!OTHER THINGS TO NOTE– Mid June-Labor Day: we rent Saturday to Saturday, check in 3pm (lockbox), check out 10am.– Outdoor propane grill is great for cookouts.– We supply 4 gallons of drinking water via a water cooler with additional water available nearby. The tap water is fine to bathe with, cook with (boiled) and wash dishes with. It comes from a dug well next to the cottage, but to be extra safe we ask guests not to drink water from the faucets.– A few stone steps lead from cottage to beach. The path is lit at night but there is also a short path through the woods.– The house faces west. It is a “house of light” and the sunsets are beautiful.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION– We have two kayaks and a two person canoe. Swim/use watercraft at your own risk and please wear a life jacket on kayaks/canoe. Life jackets available for kids and adults.– Personal watercraft (jet skis) not allowed on Upper Range Pond.– Please drive slowly down the road. The camp road is in good shape and driving slow helps keep it that way.REVIEWS FROM PREVIOUS GUESTS”Cottage was charming and perfectly equipped for cooking …blissfully quiet …our second summer, wonderful house for a relaxing week …has all you need …great swimming and loons, we loved it”POINTS OF INTERESTHannaford Grocery Store: 130 Shaker Road, Gray – about 15 minutes awayL.L.
