Private three season cabin nestled in woods on shore of pristine Maine lake

This exquisite seasonal cabin in the woods is nestled in nature and filled with modern conveniences. Great swimming, boating, and fishing. Many nearby nature walks. A rare find!

let go, rest, read and relax. Or for the more active. swim, hike, fish, and enjoy boating and viewing nature.

Find an idyllic escape from busy lives and places. Whether for a personal spiritual or yoga retreat or just want to recharge your energy this lakeside camp fills the bill.

It is a haven for photographers, artists, writers, and musicians who want to tap into their inner well of creativity. It is an ideal romantic getaway and has been often used by newly wedded couples on their honeymoons.

There are opportunities for fun for kids and adults alike. Experience a healthy and revivifying warm weather family vacation.

At Clearwater Lake one can slow down, not be interrupted, pleasurably commune with your own inner nature and the natural beauty of the surrounding environment.

I love how deeply I sleep, and how rested I feel when I return to my'normal' working live. I love how I feel deeply connected with nature after visiting. I love how kids respond by finding adventure and fun outside their usual activities.

This rustic and nurturing seasonal camp is located in The Western Maine Mountain Region on 22 wooded acres on Clearwater Lake. The Clearwater is one of Maine's most pristine, spring-fed lakes with more than 750 acres, six-and-one-half miles of shore line, and a maximum depth of 135 feet.

Enjoy a morning hot beverage on the large screened-in porch. Watch for passing families of ducks and ducklings, visiting loons or hummingbirds as you contemplate the surrounding beauty and listen to the bird calls and rustles in the leaves.

Amenities:
* Our seasonal three season camp can sleep at 5 - 8 people.
* It has a cozy bedroom with a queen sized bed, a comfy living room couch that converts into a full size double bed and a daybed in the living room. There is also a queen size futon and a single mattress that can be used for "spill-over" porch sleeping on the screened-in porch.
* The wood burning stove in the living room has a glass front and screen, functioning as both a cozy fireplace and a source of warmth.
* In the large, comfortable living room one can curl up on the day bed, futon or in a chair and enjoy a book, music, a warm fire and the many views of the lake and surroundings.
* The living room has a well-stocked board game cabinet filled with chess, checkers, and other games.
* The full kitchen has a large refrigerator, stove and microwave along with plates, utensils, pots and pans, and most everything you have at home for cooking, serving, and eating meals.
* Wireless high-speed Internet.
* Small sun-bathing deck outside the porch.
* Swimming and boating dock.
* Outdoor enclosed shower with skylight
* Bathroom with flush toilet, shower and sink in adjacent structure accessed using illuminated 36 feet long wood walkway.

We share the use of two kayaks, a canoe, a rowboat, and life jackets between occupants of our Lake House and Camp.

Fishing

Privacy
Usually our interaction with guests is minimal. We arrange for guests to be welcomed. We are available to answer questions and help when or if needed.

Otherwise, guests usually like to enjoy an undisturbed time.

Location
The camp abounds in natural beauty. We are always struck anew with the beauty of the sun rising and setting over the lake, the sounds of evening loons calling, passing families of swimming ducks and ducklings, the shifting patterns of the leaves and their colors, and the constant gentle sounds and scents of the surrounding wood.

Access
The camp is only accessible via car from the camp road and then via the short (approximately 400 feet long) well lit foot path from the nearby private parking area.

Quiet, Beautiful Sunrises, Good Dock Fishing
We were looking for a quiet, affordable cabin with privacy as a place to write and relax. This cabin was perfect. It was close enough to run to town for an extra sweatshirt when it was cold a couple of days, but at the end of a dirt road for quiet when we wanted that. The communication was good and Victor and Judy next door were very helpful. We used the kayaks and life vests, swam off the dock, and the sunfish were biting like crazy. A perfect place for me to teach my nephew to fish. The sunrises were amazing. Definitely get up to see at least one while you're there. The stargazing was phenomenal, too. I saw a shooting star the second night we stayed. A couple to things to know - there is a path from the parking area to the cabin. It is an easy trek, but for anyone with mobility issues, it could be a challenge. Additionally, the bathroom is in a separate building. It is plumbed and the shower is there and works great, but it is separate from the cabin if that is an issue. We didn't have any problems as the wooden walkway is easy to navigate and the lighting they have installed is amazing. If seclusion is your thing, this is your place. The WiFi worked really well for us and we were grateful not to have a TV take up one of the walls of the cabin as so many do now. Our pup Lily LOVED everything about her stay - the sniffing, the swimming, and watching paddlers and boaters go by. One last item... if you enjoy photography, this is a great place. The view is unbeatable.

Half a dozen visits at the camp
We love hanging out at the camp in the fall. This is our special place. Victor is a great host. Full kitchen, wood burning stove, comfy bed, linens etc. Also very private and quiet. Had the SUP out and went for a dip in the pond. We always have a lovely time regardless of the weather. This time we visited Rangeley for the 1st time. So much to explore.

Great Rustic Cabin
Just recently enjoyed a wonderful weekend with my family. The location on the lake is great, you can't be any closer to the water which is what we wanted. Kids enjoyed catching fish from the dock and the views from the porch cant be beat.

Maine cabin: the way life used to be
This rustic Maine cabin was everything we hoped it would be: in the woods, quiet, rustic, and on the water. No frills. If you are looking for modern amenities this is not your rental. If you are looking for the way life used to be and a peaceful retreat go no further. We can’t wait to return.
