Our large home is great for getting together with friends and family to enjoy the year-round beauty of western Maine. Winter activities abound from alpine skiing and riding, to nordic skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, dogsledding, and sleigh rides. Spring time brings sunshine, flowers, and a chance to hit the slopes in a t-shirt! Summer is one of the best times to visit. Warm days are perfect for splashing in the plentiful waterfalls, rivers and lakes that dazzle under the summer sun. Miles of hiking and biking trails from peaks to ponds can be found within a short distance of the house. Don't forget to sample delicious Maine blueberries! The cooler days of fall bring vibrant colors to the mountains, hike one of the nearby peaks or drive one of the many scenic routes for truly spectacular views. Our farmhouse is the perfect base for your group, no matter when you choose to visit.


The house was built from a converted farmhouse and barn. The main portion of the house has 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 2 living areas, a large kitchen and dining area that opens to the porch and patio. There is an attached 2 bedroom apartment that is included with this rental. It has a separate entrance, a small kitchenette area, open living area, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom. There are a total number of 2 king size beds, 5 queen size beds, 5 twin beds, and 3 pullout/convertible beds. Linens and towels are provided.
The patio has Adirondack chairs with a firepit looking out over the expansive lawn and a grill to prepare outdoor meals. Just down the street is access to Bryant Pond (Lake Christopher), a quiet, beautiful lake great for kayaking, canoeing, or paddle boarding. Your rental includes the use of kayaks that can be carted down to the lake.


Dogs are welcome at our house, they will love the yard and lake as well, but will require an extra cleaning fee (please include them in your reservation).
