Cottage near lake in own woodland

This bit of our family heritage is a custom built cottage in three acres of woodland, with access to a three mile long lake. There are three pairs of loons(great northern divers)on the lake, and the cottage takes its name, MEDAWISLA from the Penobscot Indian name for a loon. The cottage of recycled post and beam construction has been designed and built by my daughter and son-in-law, Rosie and Matt Curtis as a second home for me. It is available for renting,June through November.
The cottage has a spacious, open plan living room, with a well equipped kitchen, with a glimpse of the lake through the trees. Bathroom, second bedroom and a meditation room, open off the living area, and patio doors lead onto a deck. There is also a mud room, with a washing machine and dryer. A unique spiral staircase, hand crafted by Matt, leads up to the main bedroom, whose windows look out among the tree tops.
There is a firepit, telephone, music centre and an interesting collection of books. The cottage is connected to the INTERNET through WI FI. The lake is only a minute away and visitors are welcome to use the family's fishing canoe.

Washington is a small quirky community and extremely friendly. It is an ordinary workaday place, pleasantly off the main tourist routes, but within easy reach of buzzing Rockland, Rockport and Camden, where you can find sailing trips, sea kyaking and a host of interesting restaurants. There are regular concerts at Rockport Opera House. Interesting films can be seen at the unique Strand film theatre in Rockland, as well as popular films at the multiscreen cinema complex there. In the opposite direction, Augusta has an excellent State Museum. Day expeditions can be made to Acadia National Park, or by ferry to the offshore islands of Isoboro and the Vynalhavens.
Medawisla is ideal for those visitors who want somthing a little different, and away from the usual stresses but with a variety of entertainment and activities just down the road (17 miles in either direction). On a rainy wet day, there is nothing nicer than to curl up in the meditation room with a book, play games or do a jigsaw. A place to savour the rich and varied flavours of Maine.
