Messalonskee Lakefront Camp Escape with Shared Waterfront Access

Enjoy a peaceful lakeside getaway at Sunset by the Lake (Camp 1), offering 3 bedrooms, a cozy living room, dining area, fully equipped kitchen, bath, and a lakeside deck perfect for your morning coffee. Located on a quiet, southwest-facing section of Messalonskee Lake, it’s the perfect place to relax and watch the beautiful sunsets.

Sunset by the Lake is part of our family-owned compound since the 1950s, located on the same shared property as our other two rentals:

Woodlands on the Lake (Camp 2) – https://t.vrbo.io/uoTPartzVUb
Serenity on the Lake (Loft) – https://t.vrbo.io/737hRDmzVUb

You will also enjoy shared beachfront access with BelAir Seaplane, where you can ad a touch of classic Maine adventure to your stay. Copy and past this link into a web browser to see pricing and availability https://belairseaplaneservice.com.

Just a short walk from your door, you’ll find a welcoming shared space by the water, complete with a dock and gazebo sitting area where guests gather to enjoy the view. Spend time together on the sandy beach, take turns using the canoes and kayak, or let the kids play on the large floating dock. Life vests in various sizes are available for everyone in the small gray shed.

Dogs are welcome but must be leashed when other guests are present. A pet fee will be charged.

You may have the opportunity to meet members of our family at the beach, as we also enjoy spending time by the water. Come experience a classic Maine lakeside camp stay where you can relax, recharge, and create lasting family memories in a peaceful, welcoming setting. Bring your favorite beach towel and enjoy your stay!

Excellent property and excellent hosts!

Older cabin, but very clean and lots of room to spread out! At the end of a small road with lots of privacy. Beautiful clean lake, sandy beach and the most beautiful sunsets! Only 15 minutes from civilization and big stores, but feels so secluded and private. Owners were nice, responsive, nearby but not at all intrusive. Would go back in a heartbeat!

Perfection.

I hate to give a good review because I don't want anyone to take my spot, but the truth is the place was remarkable and the owners know how to manage a vacation home.
