Description of the Waterford vacation cabin rental

Our charming cottage is located among the pine trees
on a small lake in North Waterford Maine. A dock allows one to sunbathe and a canoe lets you explore the lake. It is a picture postcard spot less than two miles from Melby's general store, famous for its generous ice cream cones and wonderful home cookin'. Mountain trails are within walking distance. If you like golf you are withing 25 minutes of three nice courses. It is a very special place. We know you will love it if a peaceful vacation is what you are in search of.

Area Description

North Waterford is a rural community. It has one general store and one gas station/pizza place and a lovely white clapboard church which hosts tasty church suppers all summer long. There is a fairgrounds open one week each year for the 'Worlds' fair. On weekends there are Sat. night dances throughout the summer. Located 15-20 miles away one finds Oxford/Norway Maine. There's a Walmart,CVS,a cinema, hospital, and whatever you need. North Conway N.H. is 45 minutes away and has an LL Bean outlet. Conway offers old fashion train rides. Portland takes a little over an hour and the Olde Port lobstah can't be beat. Of course there's a lobster pound at Springers General Store just 15 min. from the cottage. Bethel, Bridgeton, Lovell, Fryeburgh are all within 30 minutes and have some good restaurants.
Southwestern Maine has a lot to offer the vacationer. Stay at our cottage and go back in time... not much traffic and whenever you go up there's a view...or don't go anywhere and enjoy a gorgeous view right from the porch.

A Maine Lakeside Experience, September 10, 2009

By Etka Liebowitz (Jerusalem, Israel)

Our family rented this lovely house for 8 days at the end of August (not long enough!). The house was fully equipped with everything a family could want - diswasher, washer and drier, kitchen utensils, etc. The caretaker left us an unexpected welcome bag with goodies and games for the children. The location can't be better - right on the lake with a canoe in the garage(there are screens on the porch so the mosquitoes don't eat you up). The kids really enjoyed canoeing on the lake and were even able to see some loons up close. The house was also a well-located for day trips to various nearby sites - Bethel, the White Mountains, Mt. Washington, the Maine Woildlife Reserve, Portland, etc. We were only sorry that we couldn't stay longer.

Reconnect your family, August 5, 2008

By Janice Justice (Seaford, DE USA)

We spent a wonderful week at the cottage with our 3 teenagers. We all enjoyed the time on the lake & just staying at the cottage. The outdoor shower was a hit (although we could have used the whirlpool tub or shower). Although somewhat rustic, it had everything we needed. We were close enough to do sightseeing or large grocery shopping, but also enjoyed the nearby general store. Very hospitable community. The lake had great fishing, & we used an innertube & canoe to explore the wildlife on the lake. The owner & caretaker were both a delight to deal with.
