About the host
Hosted by Meredith Schmid
We live in Maine and chose Norway for our home-away-from-home because of its proximity to so many of Maine's natural wonders and outdoor adventures. We love our lake and our home and are so happy to be able to invite others to rest, recharge, explore, and get to know Norway and the many activities and beautiful surroundings. Our lake water is clean, offers great fishing, and is private-access only, so there are no large boats to avoid if you'd like to swim the length. Our private entry is sandy and rocky with no muck to wade through, and you can jump right off the primary dock or dive from our swim dock into deep water.
Why they chose this property
The Town of Norway offers excellent year-round dining, shopping and outdoor activities. Within minutes of our lake home, you can enjoy a walk down historic Main Street for phenomenal gelato or poutine, visit art and book stores, and shop for Maine-made goods, then go antiquing, hiking, mountain-biking, sledding, snow-shoeing, xc- or downhill-skiing, or take a trip to the Oxford Casino or Racetrack.
After all that activity, you can then relax at our peaceful house on a private dirt lane, listen to the haunting call of the resident loons, star-gaze in the dark nights, go on a twilight paddle or take a dip in the lake. You can play badminton and games in the yard or roast marshmallows over the firepit. You can dine, read and relax in the screened-in porch. You can fully unwind.

What makes this property unique
Our home is newly-built and is designed to let the light pour in. Our home is bright and clean. All appliances are new, modern and energy-efficient. The kitchen is fully-stocked, from waffle-maker to popcorn popper, and the propane grill is ready for your bbq. We have a spectacular screened-in porch that extends the living area, so you can be outdoors for dinner, reading, or sleeping without worry of black-flies or mosquitoes.
The driveway can accommodate 4+ cars, and we use it for badminton and frisbee. We ask for quiet outside by 9pm to preserve the serenity of the neighborhood, but you can use the Smart TV and Internet for later-night entertainment. There are multiple kayaks, including sit-in, sit-on, a two-person, a paddleboard and a fishing canoe, all ready for your use, along with life-jackets for everyone.
The 1st floor bed/bath and easy walk to the lake are designed to be accessible for those with falling concerns, and black-out curtains upstairs help with toddler (or adult!) naps. The TV is located in the upstairs sitting room to encourage conversation, games and family time in the primary downstairs living area. We love our home and know you will love it too.
