About this property

Secluded waterfront cabin in Porter Maine

The views from this secluded cottage are amazing. Perfect place if you enjoy your privacy, or love nature and just want to get away from it all. It has floor to ceiling glass and has a huge field stone fireplace. It is a true Maine cottage, constructed by Maine Cottage Builders. All beautiful wood inside. It has a large loft for children to play and a family friendly open living area. It is waterfront and has a deck at the water’s edge for swimming and later enjoying a drink in the late afternoons watching the sunset, it is located on 40 private acres with 900 feet of waterfront. The road into the property is approximately 3/4 of a mile long and is unpaved. It is maintained every year and is fine for an average car, or sport utility. Low riding luxury cars like mercedes, or sports cars are not recommended. If you cancel your reservation and I am able to rent your week to someone else, your rental amount less your deposit will be refunded. If I am not able to rent your week you will forfeit the entire amount paid. This property is surrounded by mountains so the best way to make calls is to set your phone to WiFi calling. I have an Apple Smart Phone with Sprint Service, and I changed my phone settings to WiFi calling while inside the cabin to: Settings>Cellular>WiFi Calling , this worked beautifully and my phone worked great. You should contact your phone service provider before arriving to find out how you set your particular phone to make calls through WiFi. It does have satelite TV and there is also a land line telephone for local calls and a phone card can be used for long distance calls.

Perfect
This house was perfect for our young family to relax and hang by the water. Sandy beach and shallow warm water. Very quiet lake. The driveway takes about 5 minutes to drive (and 9 minutes to run!) but is fun! I wouldn’t trust a sedan to not bottom out, but our outback had no problem. Ken was very nice. The place is spotless. Very quiet which is exactly what we wanted! Highly recommend.

Better than listed!
The pictures with this listing do not do it justice! The house was wonderful, big and clean. It is larger even than needed for 6 people. If you include the futon in the basement, which my older son preferred, it really sleeps 8. The house has many beautiful windows facing the Pond. It was colder and buggy the first few days we were there, but we were still able to enjoy the beautiful view from inside! We enjoyed the boats (2 Kayaks, a Canoe, and 2 rowboats) for fishing and exploring. Life vests for all ages are available at the house. One of my sons caught three good bass, 15 inch, 19 inch and 19 1/2. They also caught small bluegills, sunnies, and perch. Lake Trout and Salmon were likely down deep and unable to be caught without a larger boat. The house was stocked with all the dishes, cooking and baking pans we needed. The Manager was very polite and helpful. Thank you for a great week!

Quiet getaway
This was a return trip for us and again, not disappointed. We love how quiet and secluded it is. We enjoyed using the kayaks and the canoe to explore the pond and took day trips for local hikes. Wonderful experience.

About the host

Hosted by Chris Hoelzel

Host profile image
My father, Dr. Norman Hoelzel purchased this property in the 50's. I have been vacationing here for over 55 years, and before that, my grandparents owned a cottage on the water across from my current home. My own family now vacations here. When my father passed away, I built a new home and since I can't use it year round, I decided to rent it on home away so others could enjoy it too.

Why they chose this property

This property is unique in the fact that it has been owned by the same family for over 55 years, the grandparents owned property here 65 years ago. A lot of history.

What makes this property unique

It is a true Maine wood cottage on the water. So many outdoor activities. Great place for a family vacation.
