Important: Houses rent together except mid Sept through mid Oct when it becomes Lakehouse only - sleeping 8. Week of June 19 or June 26, 2010 ONLY can be either one house or two.
The houses are phenomenally well equipped, right down to lobster crackers and pics, corn holders, flour sifters, electric mixers, blenders, and well – even garlic presses! The Lakehouse is outfitted with dinnerware for 8 and the Treehouse for 18. There is a washer/dryer in each house. Bed pad, blanket, pillow, and either comforter or spread on each bed. Phones & wifi in each cottage. Lots and lots of fine entertainment amenities at both cottages, including gas grills, books and board games, stereo systems (radio/tape/CD,) TVs, and DVDs. VHS players at Treehouse . Ping pong table in the huge, lower level, Lakehouse rec room!
There are spectacular sunsets from the LH glass room and 4 decks. There is an additional deck, plus dock and float at the water. Also 2 canoes are avail
(Useful info: We seem to have collected life vests in a variety of sizes, including baby, toddler, and adult.) The lake is sandy and shallow at the shore. Perfect for small children’s wading and play. There is great fishing from the dock and it’s an easy swim to the float. Abundant wildlife; loons, blue herons, deer, neighborhood cats, etc. Caterers can be hired for that “special” birthday, anniversary, or just summer celebration clambake, lobster dinner, roast, etc. There is a Boat and Jet Ski rental nearby.
The cottages are located on the east shore of Highland Lake and are just 20 minutes from shopping, dining, whale watches, and museums in Portland, and 35 minutes from super shopping in Freeport (LL Bean and many outlet stores).
[NOTE: Our first priority is to rent the cottages together. If, in the late spring, there are still some unrented summer weeks, we will then rent the houses separately.
If you would like to be considered for individual cottage rental, we would be happy to add your contact info to a waiting list.]
We hope to share these wonderful places with you. Be well, Frank and Denise
