Spectacular Cobbossee Lakefront with Hot Tub&Dog Friendly

Spacious, well appointed year round home with 6 person hot tub (open all year), swim float, fire pit with free firewood, spectacular lake views and sunsets, air conditioning, cable TV, WIFI internet access, and beautiful lawn to the water's edge. Perfect romantic retreat for couples, or an inviting playground for a family vacation. Close to Colby College for graduation. Wake up to the relaxing sound of the loons with your own private waterfront with dock, canoe, 2 Old Town sit on top kayaks, and 2 stand up paddle boards. The house has hardwood floors throughout with a well-equipped kitchen, quartz countertops and gas stove. The living room opens up to a cozy sun room overlooking the lake with 2 futons and a table for 8. The spacious master bedroom suite is on the main floor with a king sized bed, twin day bed, and private bath. Downstairs has 2 bedrooms (one with a queen sized bed and the other with 2 log bunkbeds with 4 twin XL mattresses) and a full bath. Each bedroom downstairs has its own sliding door to the patio, which has a hot tub and ping pong table overlooking the lake. Enjoy 130 feet of waterfront with dock and deep water for swimming, boating, and fishing. The entire property is fenced in and there is a shallow water entry for dogs or kayaks, etc. You can bring your own boat or rent one to enjoy the 10 mile long Lake Cobbosseecontee and world class bass fishing! The hot tub is open year round and there is a back up generator that powers the whole house during storms. There is excellent ice fishing near the house. Boats can be rented from Beacon Boat Rental or Lakeside Motel and Cabins. There are many restaurants nearby, a local ice cream shop, Absolem Cider House tasting room, and a new winery with restaurant in the area. Indoor Tennis, Pickleball and several golf courses can also be found nearby.

Please note: We have Ring cameras outside at the front (1 camera - covering the house to the entrance to the property) and the back (1 camera - covering from the house to the lake) of the property for safety when the house is not in use. We can turn them off during your stay if you prefer--- just let us know.

Beautiful home, amazing hot tub!

We stayed a long weekend for our annual ice fishing trip. The hot tub was fantastic after a long day on the ice. There is great fishing right in front of the house, we're looking forward to staying again next year.

this was our second year here ... Although we've never met her, Jenifer has been super easy to communicate with, and she her home has everything you could need from the kitchen, to lake toys, fire pit wood, towels... AC for the hotter times. It's literally perfect. We couldn't ask for more. My daughter made a surprise birthday cake... they even had the bundt pan she needed! Only minutes from a great fish market, (Hallowell) the grocery store, local shops with baked goods, ciders, beer wine...I could go on and on... we truly loved every moment. Swim dock, regular dock, kayaks ping pong... etc etc etcThank you Jenifer!

Great Quiet Getaway

Had a nice quiet getaway here in the off-season. Enjoyed the hot tub and peace and quiet looking out on the lake. Very spacious and as advertised. Dog friendly for our small dog. Easy to check-in/out. Would definitely consider again if we were coming up to this area.

Wonderful quiet place. Our family stayed during the off season with our 2 dogs and largely had the neighborhood to ourselves. The hot tub is great and sunsets on the lake are beautiful.

Beautiful cottage perfect for the family

Fantastic week! The house was clean and offered everything to have fun. The porch was perfect for puzzling and eating dinner when the temperature was nice. The fence was much appreciated not only for keeping our dog in but keeping the neighbor dogs out. Owner and caretaker are highly responsive and the property is well cared for. Nothing bad to say!

Outstanding four days

Everything was phenomenal during the 4 nights we were there. The views were so nice and the lake was super quiet and away from any traffic. Greg and Tracy were great communicators. We saw bald eagles and tons of ducks and loons. Weather was cold, rainy and windy but hot tub every night was very relaxing. My son and I caught several bass over 3 lbs and 1 pike over 7 lbs. We would love to come back for a weekend in winter to ice fish and a week during warmer weather.

Return trip is excellent again

This is an outstanding property with a very responsive and responsible owner. The property has everything you need to create a memorable vacation experience. We visited with 6 people and 1 dog, and everybody enjoyed their week. Sunsets are wonderful, the hot tub is relaxing, ping pong championships are fun, the kayaks are fun to explore with and the new dock is a big improvement. Also, the new entryway stairs are another big improvement. We made dinners in every night except one and always found everything we needed. We will be back again.

Perfect

We had 6 of us plus 2 dogs… it was absolutely perfect. Kitchen was stocked with everything you would need for cooking (pots,pans etc) and plenty of room for all of us. The description of property was 100% accurate. Beds were super comfy and felt like home. The Sun room was such a bonus on the early morning. So peaceful!! We used the kayaks, paddle boards and fished off the dock, cooking on the grill, the fire pit, ping pong games and hot tub… all while viewing the lake couldn’t have been better. Greg was super easy to get in contact with and answered any questions we had. Also… food stores and any supplies all near by, and even the home of “Maine Cabin Masters”! What a bonus find! We hope to be back again next year… fingers crossed for 2 weeks instead of one! Highly recommended!!

Don’t hesitate to book!

My friend and I rented this place for our husbands for their birthday to ice fish. They were not disappointed. If we had snowmobiles there would have been plenty of space to park trailers in the driveway. The view from the house was beautiful we could spy on the guys and go out to visit if we wanted. Inside was cozy and warm and they froze trying to chase the big catch. We snuggled up with my two kiddos and her two dogs by the wood stove. Even with a negative wind chill outside we were toasty warm. The kitchen has everything you could need to cook with. The bedrooms were separate and private. Plenty of towels for both the shower and the hot tub. Oh, the hot tub! When the guys were done their day of fishing and the kiddos were off to dream land, we all hopped into the hot tub just off the back door and enjoyed some R and R. Even with sub-degree temps, this was awesome. A short drive up the road is Auburn with a grocery store, Target and many other necessities. Greg was responsive and helpful with resources before the trip. No need came up for us while we were there, but we had clear instructions to contact Tracey if we did. Very thoughtful host! We will certainly go back. Maybe in the summer to experience the warmer weather benefits of Lake Cobbosse.

Beautiful location and house is perfect for family with teenagers and perfect for enjoying the lake. In addition to lake activities which can’t be beat especially with swimable dick, cayaks and floaties, house has hot tub, pingpong table and flat part of back yard for play, no need to go anywhere. Nearby Hallowell is lovely with restaurants and cafes. I can’t say enough positive things about property!

I can’t say enough about how wonderful the house is. We have stayed in many properties and this was the best equipped of any. The host responds immediately to answer any questions. We did not eat out at all as the outdoor grill and kitchen were easy to use and make great meals. It’s really nice to have a fully fenced yard when traveling with young children. I spent a lot of time on the porch reading or playing cards or board games with two of my grandchildren (ages 9 and 4). The hot tub is great! For going in the water there are plenty of life jackets and a very nice float. Wonderful to walk out the door to the dock to go swimming or get on a boat( we rented a pontoon for a day). Highly recommend!!!!
