Modern Lake House Close to Portland
Experience luxury and comfort in this modern Maine cabin with views and access to Highland Lake. This home was recently built to provide enjoyment of a peaceful weekend in the woods without sacrificing modernities and amenities. The space features fresh furnishings, a modern aesthetic, and comfort throughout. Located down a quiet wooded road, you'll find the tall pines and lake views a peaceful setting for your stay.
Located just 10 miles to downtown Portland!

BEDROOMS:
2 bedrooms located on the first floor, each with a queen bed. The additional sleeping space is located upstairs in the sleeping loft where you will find two twin beds as well as a cozy play area for little ones.** In the play area you will find a collection of toys as well as Maine themed children's books for your little ones' entertainment.
KITCHEN & LIVING ROOM:
Enjoy lake views from the kitchen and living room while you take in some downtime and relax. Brew your morning coffee with the Keurig machine that makes hot or iced coffee! For those that prefer drip coffee, there is a drip coffee maker there as well. The kitchen is fully stocked with all basic kitchenwares in addition to a selection of kid friendly dining-ware. The bar seats 3, perfect for socializing and entertaining while preparing meals. The smart TV with streaming channels, an Amazon Alexa for streaming music, and a collection of board games make for great family fun.
OUTDOOR SPACE:
Outdoor enthusiasts of all kinds will love this property! The spacious deck is a great location to unwind and soak in the evening sunset. In the warmer months there are 3 cushioned chaise loungers, a 6 person outdoor dining table, a Webber gas grill for BBQing, as well as water gear to use at your leisure including a paddle board, a canoe, and kayaks. (There are some lifejackets at the property, however we suggest bringing your own to ensure having the proper size.) Walk down to the water and enjoy swimming, fishing, and listening to the sounds of loons. The backyard hosts Adirondack chairs and a fire pit, perfect for roasting marshmallows and unwinding at the end of the day. Walking trails are located on the road for those enjoying walks in the woods. In the colder months, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and ice fishing are popular sports to be enjoyed on Highland Lake.
When staying here, you'll be conveniently located just 10 miles to downtown Portland and the Old Port, a short drive to downtown Falmouth, and 25 minutes to Freeport and LLBean Flagship store. Enjoy a quiet stay in the Maine outdoors while still being close to the action of the Portland area - truly the best of both worlds!
Other things to note:
***The sleeping loft has sloped ceilings that are shorter than average, around 5’8” tall. This is a sleeping loft and although some children can stand upright, taller persons may need to crouch.
No smoking of any kind permitted.
Home is on a gravel road and is in a wooded area. You may encounter animals and insects in their natural habitat during your stay.
It is a very dog friendly neighborhood so you may come across dogs who live on the road walking off leash.
Due to the change in seasons the air conditioners are installed mid June- late September. The dock is installed around mid-May, and the outdoor furniture, grill, and water equipment are available from spring to mid October.
