Enjoy all that the Western Maine Lakes Region has to offer in a nicely appointed cottage home on a wooded lot with seasonal access (Memorial Day to Labor Day) to Knights Hill Association's large private pool (& kiddie pool) and two tennis courts, as well as access to beautiful Moose Pond in Bridgton, Maine. Sleeps 8. Minimum 3 night stay.
Air conditioned via heat pump unit serving two indoor portals, one on each floor, providing cool air on those warm days and warming up the space if there is a really cool Maine night. Large enclosed porch for those warm Summer evenings or even a rainy afternoon.
Open-concept area on main level (kitchen/dining/living room) with skylights and vaulted ceiling, making it a great place for gathering to watch TV or chat about the day’s activities. (Note that the wood stove shown in photos is inoperable for renters per insurance requirements.) Vinyl plank floor throughout the upper level. A Weber gas grill is provided on the back deck for outdoor grilling. Basic YouTube TV is provided on both floors with wall-mounted TV’s.
Enjoy hiking on nearby Pleasant Mountain or Sabbatus Mountain, and the magnificent views of the mountains of Western Maine and the nearby Mt Washington Valley.
Moose Pond is great for kayaking (local rentals available) and fishing, one of Maine's best fishing lakes, If you have a boat, Moose Pond’s public boat ramp is only 1.5 miles from the Cottage.
Downtown Bridgton with its shops, galleries, restaurants and Magic Lantern movie theater is 10 minutes away. During the Summer season, a short drive brings you to several popular music venues (Dragonfly Barn, Denmark Arts Center and Deertrees Theatre) or you can catch a free outdoor concert at Music on Main in downtown Bridgton on some Saturday evenings. If you enjoy a drive-in movie, the Bridgton Twin Drive-In Theater is 15 minutes away. If you enjoy bowling, Saco Valley Sports Center is right off US 302 in Fryeburg (15 minute drive) offers candlepin bowling.
Only 25 minutes to North Conway, NH, the White Mountains and the Mt Washington Valley, one of New England's famous 4-season regions with outlet shopping, micro-breweries and family attractions (Storyland, Kahuna Laguna Indoor Water Park and miniature golf). Portland and the Maine seacoast are just over an hour away. Sebago Lake State Park with its large beach area, a cruise on Long Lake aboard the Songo River Queen paddle-wheeler or a visit to the historic hand-operated Songo Lock are just a short ride easterly down US 302 to Naples.
There are several local golf courses open to the public for your enjoyment. Both Kezar Lakes Golf Club in Lovell, ME and Bridgton Highlands are less than 15 minutes away. (Of note, Kezar Lakes’ quaint clubhouse belies the fact that the front nine was designed by world-renowned course architect, Donald Ross.) Sunday River Country Club, consistently rated as one of the top courses in Maine, is less than an hour away.
We look forward to hosting you.
