Sheepscot Lake House ideal for swim, boat, fish with private dock on water
Our special lake home awaits you in mid-coast Maine on serene Sheepscot Lake House. Perfect for a summer dipping off the dock or winter ice fishing. Nestled on the private and picturesque Bald Head Island (connected by a causeway so you can drive to the house) this lake house faces west for spectacular sunsets and almost 180 degree lake views out of its oversized picture windows and wraparound porch. Think of your perfect woodland Maine lake vacation and you will be happy in this fully renovated and well equipped house. We would like to call it a cabin but it is really a house! With 3-4 bedrooms (3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 sunroom/bedroom downstairs with a double bed) this property offers a comfortable stay for up to 8-10 guests. Find everything you need in the renovated kitchen. Enjoy the easy access to lake front just steps from the porch with a your own dock situated in deep water so you can dive right into this crystal clear lake! Enjoy fishing, swimming, paddling, listen to the loons at sunset or watch the amazing stars at night by a campfire. Amenities include a fireplace, WiFi, a washer and dryer, fully equipped kitchen complete with lobster pots (this is Maine folks!), beautifully decorated themed bedrooms, 2 baths, and 2 paddleboards. The house has 2 levels of porches and decks so you can enjoy your morning coffee anywhere you want. It is also equipped with a huge tv for family movie nights if you can drag yourself away from the lake! This lake house has a new furnace for heat in the winter and on-demand hot water for all year, means you will never run out! Super convenient parking spots just behind to the house can park 3+ vehicles. One spot even has an EV charger. 3 hours from Boston, 1.5 hours from Portland, and 30 minutes from Belfast there is loads to do....again if you can drag yourself out of the woods away from the lake.
Our family had a wonderful stay at this lakefront home! It exceeded our expectations, which were already high from the photos! The house was clean and extremely well appointed, with every comfort that the host could think to provide. The rooms and beds were comfortable, and there was plenty of room for the 9 family members who stayed in the house. Having 2 full baths and laundry at a lake house was super convenient. Fair warning, the "sunroom" has windows in 3 sides, so if you're including that in your bedroom count be sure you're bringing someone who can sleep in full sunlight or gets up with the sun! The property is wide so we felt that there was a decent amount of privacy from neighbors when we were on the large deck or hanging out at the fire pit. The water was clean, the swimming area was large, and the water got deep quickly for swimming. The host allowed use of their two paddle boards, which we loved! We would happily return, and highly recommend!
Bald Head Island is a quiet private peninsula with woods behind you and lake in front. This cozy community is quiet and friendly and charming. We love the proximity to Belfast and Camden when we can tear ourselves away from the lake!
There are many lake homes that are too far from the lake or the lake is full of grasses and muck but not here. Sheepscot lake is crystal clear and lovely to swim in or paddle on. The house isnât run down or dirty. Itâs newly renovated with modern appliances and conveniences so you can feel right at home the second you walk in the door. This is our home away from home and we are happy to share it with you.
