About this property
Waterfront House with sandy beach and plenty of parking!
This lovely, pond-front property has a beautiful, flat, sandy beach with plenty of parking. The house has been recently renovated and includes a new kitchen, beds (all memory foam), LVP floors, drywall, paint, toilet, and more. The home is four season, 2 bedroom, 3/4 bath, 1,200 square feet on .6 acres located in Shapleigh, ME.
The porch is surrounded by windows with a dining table that seats six and an oversized sectional couch for watching the sunset and relaxing with family and friends. In the afternoon, the sun fills the porch with warm light and a relaxing energy. The primary bedroom has a king bed and the second has triple bunk beds (2 on bottom and one on top). The main space is open and inviting with a brand new heat pump with three heat settings, AC and dehumidifier. Did we mention air conditioning!?
Granny Kent is a natural spring with great water quality - perfect for swimming, kayaking (we provide 3), fishing, paddle boarding, or just floatin' around. Westerly facing, you will enjoy breathtaking sunsets while having shade and privacy from vegetation along the right side of the property. 12 foot dock for small fishing boats and enjoying sunsets. The beach is a low slope to a 8-foot depth, perfect for kids or older adults. There is a fire pit near the water's edge that fits 8 chairs comfortably.
Bring your small boat and launch directly on the property as there is no public boat launch on this pond. We also have a screen tent outside with a 7 foot table and grill tent with grill.
The home sits on a concrete slab with exterior block wall so the inside space is easy to cool on hot summer days and retains heat on cool fall evenings.
Sorry, no laundry facilities onsite and dishwasher not yet in service. Laundry is located 15 minutes away by the Milk Room, where there is also an Asian restaurant, hardware store, convenience store, gas, ATM’s and coffee. Harris Turkey Farm is only 5 minutes from the house where you can savor the most amazing maple slushie and grab a bite from the food truck (see website for hours and service days).
We hope you stay with us and build many years of incredible memories!

About the host
Hosted by Marissa Fortier
Hi, We are Mat and Marissa, and we are happy to be your hosts. We live about 35 minutes from the property and are here to ensure you have a wonderful stay. We have two daughters. This is our first year renting the property (as we bought it last year), so please let us know what you need or what we can do better.
Why they chose this property
We grew up renting the cabin next to our house. We have unforgettable memories on Granny Kent and can't wait for your family to create your own.
What makes this property unique
Granny Kent is a great pond, and it's spring-fed and clean. There is plenty of space for fishing and having fun. We also have a flat, sandy, open lot with plenty of parking. The furnishings are sturdy and comfortable with a home away from home feeling.
