About this property

Come to Casco, Maine, a quaint town with a population of 3750. We offer a picturesque and idyllic setting off Thompson Lake on 'The Heath', known for canoes, kayaks, birds, and fishing. NO MOTORBOATS! You will lodge on a large parcel with 885' of private lake frontage and sunset view.

The Heath is a small, secluded body of water that offers pleasant meandering along its hourglass-shaped shoreline. Paddling along the forested portions of the shoreline you will hear the raucous calls of red squirrels and blue jays mixing with the pleasing calls of chickadees and nuthatches. There are a few small docks along the shoreline, the occasional canoe or kayak pulled up into the brush, and only the occasional flash of a camp hidden in the woods. For the most part the Heath is a very wild and wonderful paddling experience. Fishing is excellent on the Heath: Pickerel, Chain Whitefish, Landlocked Salmon, Largemouth bass, Northern Pike. Four canoes and two kayaks available for use on the premises.

Thompson Lake Marina is located only 1/2 mile from the house, where you can rent a motor boat or pontoon and enjoy the day on beautiful, crystal clear Thompson Lake. It is in the top 5% cleanest lakes in Maine.

Ammenities included are: linens and towels provided, full kitchen with dishes, pots and pans, large screen tv, books, board games, internet access, washer and dryer, use of 4 canoes and 2 kayaks with paddles, onsite fishing poles,

Great Getaway

The property is quaint, clean, comfortable and quiet. If you like to fish, it doesn’t get much better than The Heath. Property owners are great. We have been coming back for several years now. Highly recommend if you want to get away and unwind.

Great getaway.

This is our second summer at the house. Janet was very responsive to our commutations and the house is neat, clean and well stocked with kitchen ware. It is a quiet, cozy, comfortable location. And for those who like fishing, the Heath is some of the best bass fishing we have ever enjoyed.

Quiet Retreat

Nice quiet place to relax and enjoy time away. Our first day was rainy so we enjoyed time inside and playing games. We fished almost every day with decent luck. The large porch is great for enjoying the outdoors but would be nice if the view of the water was a little better, being the middle of summer all the leaves are on and everything is full limiting the view. The walk down to the water is a decent length but overall not bad. The rooms are a little small but worked for 4 of us. The lighting inside is quite dim though.

Little slice of heaven

Cabin was wonderful, fishing was awesome! We enjoyed the cabin so much that outside of going to Naples and Bridgton for dinner and shopping we stayed at the cabin fishing and kayaking the entire week! We got to see the resident fox almost every evening and plenty of beautiful birds and hawks, as well as the loons on the lake! If you are looking to relax and unwind this is definitely the place to go! Janet was great and was quick to respond to any questions we had!

We didn’t want to leave!!

The cabin was everything they said it was and more. We have three teenagers and going somewhere with everyone being happy is hard to find but when we were loading up to come home everyone said they didn’t want to leave and then when can we come back. It was close to things to do if you wanted but far enough away to relax and sit by the fire or go out in a canoe and fish. We can’t wait to come back.

Peaceful & serene

The owner was very quick to respond any time before and during our stay, which was greatly appreciated. The setting is quiet and beautiful, but do note that there is a neighbor right across the road, but all was quiet. PSA: for anyone with mobility issues, the walk to the lake is quite steep, but for those who can make it, is definitively worth it - so nice and peaceful! We got rained out one day and spent quite a bit of time in the cabin. For this, the living room furniture could stand to be replaced, but overall, our stay was very relaxing.

Nice quiet retreat

The Heath is great for fishing. We were able to take some floats out and swim from a little deeper in. Near the dock is muddy and very weedy but it makes up for it in how private it is by the water. Long walk to the water with a lot of stairs but nothing crazy. Cabin has a nice living room for rainy days but there are also some hidden gems within a half hour if you want to venture out.

Comfortable cottage

This is a comfortable cottage in a peaceful spot on the quiet end of Thompson Lake. Three cozy bedrooms downstairs, and the main living area upstairs. It’s about 100 yards down a few dozen steps to the lake. This part of the lake is great for kayaking, although it didn’t look as inviting to swim. It’s a nice walk of about a half mile to the marina, and there are several places to visit a short drive away. Overall a great place to spend a relaxing week - this was our second time here.

Maine Wilderness

We loved the cottage's isolated setting; there is only one other house within 300 yards. The cottage sits on a bluff about 30 feet above the lake. There is an easy path down the hill, and a good view of the lake from the back deck. The muddy bottom makes the lake not particularly swimmable, although the water is quite clean and was warm when we were there on July 4. Excellent kayaking and canoeing on the lake; no motor boats allowed. The cottage is clean, newly constructed, and what you would expect. It slept four of us comfortably in two bedrooms, which meant we had a bedroom to spare. Two bathrooms is a plus. We aren't fishermen, so we can't comment on the fishing; but the house provided an abundance of fishing gear.

A Wonderful Home! Second stay in a month.

So this is my second time in a month i came to Maine and stayed at this house in Casco. I love this place!! Janet is so friendly and helpful! With the nice weather i got to use one of the small boats on the private lake just right in the back of the house. House itself was perfect for me. Had everything needed. Its nice and private on a private road. Just one house across the way but 2 times i was there i never saw anyone. I can't wait to go back again! You may not get phone signal there but wifi is strong.

Amazing and Private!

I stayed in the Casco area few times now and this place was one of the best places i stayed! The house itself is beautiful! Big living room area to relax, 3 bedrooms downstairs. This is on private land on a private road. Only 1 other house across the way but i never even seen them. Very private! Beautiful walk down to water in the back of the house where some kayaks and canoes await. Janet was super nice and made everything easy and simple. I will most definitely stay here again on my next trip up. Thanks again Janet!

Great Location but 72 steps down a hill to the water

The house was new, clean and in a great location. On the negative side, 72 steps down a hill to the water, small bedrooms, no dining room and a wrap around deck that was too tiny to enjoy.

Cobwebs and spiders

One bedroom had no windows and was little bigger than a closet. Felt bad having my son stay there. All bedrooms had cobwebs and spiders on the shelves in the room. There was no table inside or out to eat on. Bathrooms were updated and nice. The living area and kitchen were clean but several dishes were dirty. It w is a beautiful location but did not swim because access was difficult without dock

A slice of heaven!!

This was by far the best place I've ever stayed in Maine! It was clean and had everything that we may have forgotten! We came up Christmas eve, and missed the grocery store, but the stores around there had everything we needed. Going up the drive to the Cabin, it was like going into our own little heaven in the woods! Everything was beautiful! The home was clean, and very well kept, I actually found myself relaxing, my husband relaxing, and my teenage boys relaxing, it was the extreme peace that we needed. We will be returning this summer!! I thought about it on the way home and I'm very sorry I left the broiler pan in the oven. But we did leave snacks for the next guest and an extra hat for the fishing wall. Thank you so much for letting us use this beautiful piece of your world. Sincerely, The Lagos Family!

About the host

Hosted by Janet Perkins

We are an active family who loves the outdoors, nature and peace and quiet here in Maine. We recently sold a rental property in the city and converted it to a rental property in beautiful Casco, Maine. We want to share this beautiful, scenic hideaway with others who have the same passion for the outdoors we do.

Why they chose this property

This property has it all. The minute you arrive, you are awed by the silence of all the hustle and bustle of life. It is the ultimate getaway for those who want a week or two away from the busyness of every day life. There is nothing like the sights and sounds of nature with no neighbors in sight.

What makes this property unique

This property is unique because it is located on The Heath, situated at the end of 12 mile Thompson Lake. It has not been developed and is a very private and special gem. You will fall in love with the deck view. This is a fisherman's dream. You can canoe, kayak, walk the private road, visit the nearby Mariner and dine out in the neighboring towns of Windham or Naples, with 10 minutes of the property.
