Lady and the Lake

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

You’ve earned this vacation, and you couldn’t have chosen a sweeter spot than this family- and dog-friendly waterfront retreat on Estes Lake. Outside, you’ll find lots of comfortable spaces for enjoying the lovely lake views – start the day with coffee on the waterfront deck or the brick patio down below. Take your time – you’re on vacation. When you get hungry, head inside to make some breakfast. Windows throughout offer the same gorgeous view, and the open, bright space creates a feeling of togetherness. The full, well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up a meal, and you can dine together at the window-front table for six.

Now it’s time to explore, and no matter what time of year you visit, you’ll be spoiled for choice. Warm weather offers fishing, boating, hiking, local farm stands, and exploration of the nearby Rachel Carson National Wildlife Refuge. Autumn leaf peeping in this heavily forested area can’t be beat, and in the winter, bring your cold-weather gear, because ice fishing, snowmobiling, and ice skating abound. Kennebunkport is less than 15 miles away and you'll find downtown Sanford only five minutes west, with great restaurants and shops to check out. Plan a trip to spend an afternoon at Wells Beach, just 14 miles away.

When you return, let the kids splash around on the small, sandy beach area while you fire up the gas grill. Have dinner alfresco at the picnic table, then stream your favorite shows while the electric fireplace keeps things cozy. End the night back outside around the fire pit, roasting marshmallows and telling stories about the perfect day you just had – and planning for another one tomorrow.

Oh My, What a View!

We brought family, visiting from Oklahoma, to Maine for the Fall Colors and we were so thrilled with the view of the lake from the entire upper floor! The colors reflected off the water making for awesome pictures! The beds were only full size but were comfortable. It was perfect for the two couples with bedrooms on the upper and lower floors with two bathrooms as well. The location was perfect for taking day trips to the beach and hike the mountains. We thoroughly enjoyed our stand would recommend!!

Picture perfect!

We had a lovely 3 night stay. The views are incredible. We enjoyed cooking in and sitting by the fire pit. So perfect we never left. The kitchen was well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. We rented a kayak for the weekend and made great use of the dock. The bonus was this property is dog friendly!

Wonderful little get-away!

We rented the house to celebrate my mother's 60th birthday with a small family vacation and it was perfect! We were able to bring my mom's dog and the four of us had a wonderful and relaxing time. The house was great and is in a great location. The view is even better in person!! The only issue was that the heat was on 55 when we arrived so it took a few hours for the house to warm up - but it did no problem and the electric fireplace helped a bunch! I highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful stay at a house on Estes Lake

Spacious 3 bedroom house (2 queens, 1 double) on Estes Lake with fantastic views. We found the house very clean and comfortable. Wish we had our kayaks with us! Would definitely stay here again!

Lake House

What a great location for us to spend a few days! All of us enjoyed being on the water and admired the sunsets. We were in Maine for the annual New England Parkinson's Ride and needed a landing spot for us and our three boys (2 girlfriends and a dog too). The only downfall was there is only three bedrooms, so the single one got the futon with his dog for two of the nights. There was plenty of parking and easy access into the house. A row boat or a few kayaks/paddle boards would have been nice too. We were already trucking bikes up from Florida and had no room for our kayaks. We would certainly stay here again though.

amazing view

Property manager was quick to respond when texting about the lack of cleanliness and broken faucet. Unfortunately, the house was just not very clean. Lots of stuff left over in cupboards, crumbs in the futons, dusty ceiling fans, smudged windows, stuff like that. The house itself was perfect for 5 people and the water views were absolutely stunning.

August Vacation

We had a great time at the property. Kids swam (despite the water weeds), nice fire pit, great views, and only 30 minutes to the beach for a beach day. There were plenty of towels and there were linens on the beds. Beautiful view and sunsets. Air conditioning was an added bonus!

Had a wonderful time

Had a great stay. The house was clean and rooms accurate as listed. Three bedrooms with Twin beds and pullout couch in living room. We brought kayaks and enjoyed cruising the entire lake, and many rivers. The deck was perfect for hanging out and enjoying the beautiful sunset. One issue we had was trash removal. There were five barrels outside that were all full when we arrived. I messaged VRBO, early in the week, and VACASA on Friday. We departed Saturday with trash overfilled. The lake was great for kayaking and swimming. One thing to know is the lake bottom is squishy. When swimming off the dock, if you stand up the ground is muddy. We would kayak and raft out a little further so we could swim without touching the ground. The house is lovely.

Good but depends what you are looking got

The property is right on the water which is great but the water is very weedy if you want to swim and not as clean as other lakes we have stayed at. Great Lake for kayaking and boating. One of the kids got bit a lot in the lake by spiders on her face. The chairs around the fire pit are pretty broken. We used our own and that was nice. Inside, the upstairs was fairly clean. There is only AC in the living room. The downstairs and upstairs bedroom gets hot. I would suggest bringing extra fans. They do provide a few. They have a lot of kitchen supplies you need which is nice and a big table for everyone to sit at. The fireplace is probably very nice during the winter. The futon couches are hard as rock! Not comfortable to sit on and definitely not comfortable to sleep on. Downstairs is nice but it was not as clean as the upstairs. The sunsets were beautiful looking from the inside sliders, deck and dock. It really depends what you are looking for. We would not go back because it was not as enjoyable to swim in and pricey for the summer months. However I’m sure it’s great in the off season.

Great for Kids

We had a very nice three night stay as a family of four with two small kids. The kids enjoyed fishing off the dark and roasting marshmallows on the open fire. Water was a bit cold and weedy for swimming but was able to take out the stand up paddleboard and give rides to my kids. Will definitely consider staying again.

Travel ball 1

The property was fine. The neighborhood was quiet, we got there early because they said we could check in for free but when we got there the keys were still locked up so we had wasted half an hour trying to get to the house before our family event but that was time wasted as it did not get resolved until we got back and could then get the keys at 7 o’clock
