About this property

A sign that greets you as you enter our lovely lake front home. Wake up and experience quiet mornings to watch the sun rise over Tripp Lake (or wake in time to watch the sunset, we don't judge!)

*** About the property***

We feel the house offers a classic, rustic atmosphere. What you'll walk into is a wood-paneled cabin-styled home with a common room, kitchen, bathroom and three bedrooms. Each bedroom is prepared with clean linens and pillows prior to your arrival. We also can provide a canoe for you to use on Tripp Lake. Aside from the necessities, we offer some modern amenities– mainly fast speed WiFi (500 mbps) if you need to do some side work. We can also install air conditioning for the common living area, however the common area is quite cool without it. This is our first time opening our homes to travelers! We're getting a feel of trying something new, and hope you can help us help you.

Need a change of scenery? We can offer some recommendations in the area or beyond. Explore the surrounding town of Poland, or go further into the neighboring towns or to the city of Portland!

Aside from that you'll have the ability to really make your New England summer into your own, and we'll be happy to be a part of that experience.

*** Please note ***
> While we prefer renters who rent for seven (7) days minimum, we also are accommodating of those interested in staying for a minimum of three (3) days. Please shoot us a message and we'd be happy to chat.
> Our home is non-smoking (we just restored it and hope to keep it in top shape for years to come).

Best little lake house

We had an amazing stay at this cute lake house. Rustic and quaint but had all the amenities you need. The host was amazing and anything we needed they took care of right away. Three bedrooms with plenty of sleeping space. Large living and dining room so we were never crowded. My favorite spot was the enclosed porch with table and chairs. We played lots of cards and games as a family and awesome view of the lake. The large deck outside was awesome. Large yard which our family enjoyed playing badminton. The only thing missing was a kayaks and stairs down off the dock to access the lake. We made due and borrowed a kayak from a friend. Plus really would of loved a fire pit, but I bet by next summer they will have one. We would def rent this place again.

Perfect Lakeside Spot

It was a great stay at Tripp Lake. The house was very clean and the listing is accurate. The house and porch are great spots to view the sunset over the water. Communication was easy and responsive. If we end up back in the area this is the first place I would try to book again. Great spot for a family of 4 and a dog. Thanks again.

Perfect house for our little getaway!!

Everything about the process and the house was just as advertised and perfect for what we needed. The house sits on a beautiful quiet road right along the lake which was ideal for jogging with my kids every morning! The owners were very attentive and quick to respond with any questions and everything we needed was available at the house. I would definitely recommend booking this house for your next vacation!

About the host

Hosted by Jin Lau

We're a small family that moved to Maine over 30 years ago. I've raised my family here by working my own hairdressing/barbering business. I and my family work in service of others, and enjoy trying to make someone's day with meticulous attention to detail. We're quite fortunate to have share our lake home with guests to experience some of what Maine offers. We enjoy the outdoors, whether high up on the mountains or fishing by the water and hope you come to love it as well.

Why they chose this property

In a couple of words: the quietness, laid-back and friendly neighborhood. It also doesn't hurt that there are many outdoors activities around in the area and surrounding towns. I personally enjoy fishing on the lake (on my off days, I venture down on the coast and towards Cape Cod).
