Beautiful Maine Lakefront Apartment on Sebasticook Lake

Enjoy some time away on the shores of beautiful Sebasticook lake, right in the heart of Maine. With it's own entrance, this second-floor garage apartment has one private bedroom, and a large common area with a fully stocked kitchenette. The bedroom has a full-size bed. The common area contains a full-size futon. There are also 2 cots, and a full air mattress. The space is ideal for 2-4 adults, or 2 adults with children. There is also a tent area included outside with it's own fire pit if you'd like to enjoy camping out for part of your stay. (tent available for guest use) The common area includes a table with seating for 4, and a bar counter with 2 additional stools. There is a 50-inch smart tv, free wifi, electronic dartboard, and many games, puzzles and books for fun nights or rainy days inside. Wifi is sufficient for streaming and for working remotely.
The kitchenette has a mini fridge and freezer, microwave, coffee maker, blender, griddle, large toaster oven, toaster, and a 2-burner portable electric cook top. Kitchen is stocked with all basic dishes, utensils, cookware, and paper products.
Included are linens, towels, beach towels, life jackets, and basic toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion, sunscreen and bug-spray.)
The outdoor grounds offer endless possibilities for making memories: Chat with friends from the bar under the pergola, enjoy a glass of wine by the water, or listen to the loons at sunset from the deck. There is a propane grill for guest use, as well as several eating areas. The deck offers a table and seating for 6, as well as a lounging area. The pergola has a bar with seating for 4. Closer to the dock is a picnic table, and 2 Adirondack chairs for enjoying the water. There is a centrally located fire-pit with camp chairs, and firewood for your use.
Included for guest use are 3 kayaks (2 single, 1 double), a 4–5-person paddle boat, a 2-person rowboat, several inflatable tubes and floaties, as well as basic fishing gear, and life vests. Fishing licenses are required for anyone over 16 and can be purchased online or locally.
Also, outside is a volleyball net, badminton, basketball hoop, Corn Hole, and other outdoor yard games.
The apartment is private and separate from the rest of the house, with its own entrance through the garage. The rest of the house is owner-occupied by your hosts, Rachael and Darcy; however, we prioritize our guest's privacy at all times. The outdoor area may be shared by a friendly Springer Spaniel, and a couple of cats. When we are not there, we are only a phone call away for any need that may arise.

Winter on the lake is ideal for ice fishing, snowmobiling to the extensive trail system, snow shoeing, and its proximity to winter sport activities.

Amazing cabin, cozy, clean, and beautiful setting!
This cabin is so lovely and the lake and location are excellent. Simple accomodations but everything is very well thought out and there is lots to to on a rainy day or a sunny day. The setting is beautiful and grocery store is a quick drive away. Cabin was clean and very comfortable with plenty of space. Easy to get to and hosts were very easy to communicate with. Can't wait to go back!

Amazing lakehouse in great location
We are so happy we stayed here for our first trip to Maine. From the minute we pulled up the driveway and saw the beautiful lake and property, to the last night when we watched the stars while sitting around the fire, our stay here was amazing. It is in a great location, just 10 minutes from a Walmart, but also secluded and quiet. The lake is picture perfect. We actually slept better here than we do in our bed at home. And sitting right at the lake my phone service was 5x faster than my service at home in NJ! Our daughter and her friend used the kayaks, paddleboards, boat, and also swam in the lake We played badminton and Cornhole. There is a basketball net, and other sports equipment too. inside is so thoughtfully and wonderfully decorated, there is everything there to make a dinner and you can even use the BBQ. There is a winery nearby, quaint small towns not too far of a drive, and Acadia is a little over an hour drive. Words are not enough. Come see yourself..

Sebasticook lake apartmebt
The apartment had everything we needed plus equipment for volleyball, basketball, darts, pool, board games and puzzles and more. I was mainly interested in kayaking. The put in area was perfect and made a great swimming area. The lake is clean water and the perfect temperature. It was private. They have several kayaks, a paddleboat and rowboat. Newport has restaurants and a homemade ice cream shop, a Walmart and a high end grocery store. The owners stopped by a couple of times and were helpful. This place is perfect.

Beautiful sunsets
Upon arrival the view was amazing. We had car problems getting there and Darcy and Rachael went above and beyond by picking few things for us at the local Walmart since we didn't have transportation for 2 days. The apartment is equipped with everything you might need for the stay and was clean and I loved that they didn't clutter the space, so it was great since we have a 1 year old and 7 year with us. The lake was beautiful and clean, there's fishing rods, inflatable toys, kayaks, paddle boats and a row boat. Two areas to make a fire at night and a volleyball net and few yard games. For rainy days or quiet time there's plenty of board games inside and few books. My boys were in the water everyday the whole week we were there so made for some tired kids. If we had any questions we texted Darcy and Rachael and they we were very quick to respond. They stopped by to check on their kitties but we barely noticed them. Great hostesses, amazing location and a beautiful home.

Paradise gateway!
July 2021 Fantastic location, great communication, amazing views. Rachael and Darcy are amazing hosts who are very easy to work with. This lake house had everything we needed: was spacious, clean, quiet, beautifully maintained, with direct access to the lake and tons of water toys. We enjoyed barbecue and fire pit, hammock and swing. We had fun with kids playing basketball, volleyball and badminton but mostly we spent our time in the lake swimming and fishing. There are tons of board games and table tennis in the huge garage but we had fantastic weather and no time to play indoors. Thanks again Rachael and Darcy P.S. I forgot to mention breathtaking sunsets!

Perfect Getaway
We were hesitant to book because it was an apartment, but we are so happy we did! My husband and I brought our three daughters and we had plenty of space. Even better, we had plenty to do! Kayaking, swimming, fishing, we got to enjoy the beauty of Maine lake life. We saw loons, baby ducks, and a bald eagle! The apartment had wifi and everything you could think of. We ordered steamed lobsters from Hannaford and the apartment was already stocked with butter dishes and seafood shell crackers and picks! We had a sweet welcome package - my girls and I fought over the last of the cinnamon stick treats! We were also hesitant to book because of privacy issues and the fact that it was an apartment. We only saw the owners at the property one time and they were very respectful. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone!

Lakeside paradise!
Darcy and Rachael have literally thought of everything you will need for your lakeside retreat! From the yummy welcome package, to the clean and comfortable accommodations, tasteful and heartfelt decorations, fun toys on the water, gorgeous grounds, lakeside fire...and oh ya cue on the nightly loon calls☺️ Our pup Copper’s 1st travel a huge success! We’ll be back! We enjoyed Mother’s Day lobster rolls at the Farmer’s Table followed by a boardwalk excursion and browse in Traditions Antiques. Everything was at our fingertips!
