About this property

100' of Little Sebago Lake frontage: Enjoy the simple life & endless family fun!

This is the perfect unpretentious cottage for family fun with 100 feet of frontage on Little Sebago Lake! Enjoy a large lawn that leads to a sandy swimming area. Dock and small (10foot wide) boat ramp makes for easy access to this hidden cove. Cozy cottage has 2 private bedrooms but the ability to sleep ~8 (if you don't mind a snug fit!): 1st room has queen bed, 2nd room has 2 bunks (4 beds total), living room has 2 couches and 3-season-porch has sofa-bed. 2 crib mattresses are under the bunks in 2nd bedroom. Main bedroom overlooks the serene lake. Lower level family room has large comfy sofa, cable TV, half bathroom and washer/dryer. There is a blow up mattress in the laundry area. Family room leads to 3 season porch with French doors to the lake. There is a pull out sofa in the porch but please note: the porch has only supplemental heat (not good for winter/cold nights). Great flat yard for sports or cornhole. Stone patio with fire pit and a unique stone fireplace built in 1953. You can usually find plenty of water toys at the house, including paddle boards, kayak, canoe, blow up boat, floats etc (please note: we can't guarantee availability of toys/outdoor accessories, ask if you're hoping for something specific!)!

Banjo Cove is known as Hidden Cove due to the hidden location from the lake - perfect for swimming or jumping off to the floating raft. There is also a basketball hoop in our driveway. Smith Road dead ends after our house making for a very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Located just 6 miles from I-95 & a few mi from shops & restaurants in downtown N. Windham this could be the perfect lake location to avoid traffic & crowds - yet only 20 MIN FROM PORTLAND!

If you're considering a late fall/winter - you won't be disappointed with all of the things to do!

Beautiful, peaceful and relaxing!

This was just the location and place I needed to attend a week long rug camp. I could bring my dog, enjoy the lake view and go exploring to local craft stores, thrift shops, restaurants etc. If more friends had joined me in the rental, it would have been very tight. there was really only one master bedroom, and the pull out couch had the typical "bar in your back", the bunk bed room was not suitable for adults.

Not as nice as it could be

Not as well kept as it should have been. We had to clean dog hair in all of the rooms before we could sleep there. We had to rake leaves and pine needles from the lake before the grandchildren could swim. We cleaned the paddleboards and other beach toys before useing. There was standing water in the laundry room which was starting to mildew. That said, we did have a very good time. Meline was very nice to talk with, she just neefs to have a better maintence team . That said, we did have a very good time.

Perfect lake getaway

The lake house is a perfect place to decompress and re-energize, very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The house is equipped with everything you need for a great stay. Located right on the pond, walks on the ice with coffee were a morning ritual. Very quiet neighborhood and located about 5 minutes from stores/Seacoast fun park. Tubing was a blast! Dinner at the Deck House was really good. Portland was only 30 minutes away with lots to do and see there. This was our 2nd stay here and will definitely plan on a 3rd. Thank you Melanie!

September is beautiful in Maine

When we arrived we did notice a few things broken which we told the owner and she was very responsive. figuring out the light switches was interesting just simple labels would help. The outdoor area was beautiful and the area very quiet which we liked. Very convenient to Windham center, Freeport and Portland. I think it would be great for families.

Great camp in a quiet Cove on little Sebago Lake

This is my second year at this camp. It's located in a quiet Cove and is very close to the town of Windham that has everything you could possibly need. Approximately a half an hour takes you to the ocean Waterfront in Portland and the Old Port area. Hope to be going back there again next year.

Lovely lakefront getaway!

My mom and I really enjoyed our week at the lake (minus the rainy weather)! The house is in a great spot—a quiet little cove perfect for swimming—and was cozy and clean overall. There were a few minor issues like dead lightbulbs and well-worn cookware (I left some nonstick frying pans behind for future guests; you’re welcome), but no biggie. It’s a great property for families, and you won’t regret booking it. Melanie is awesome w/communication as well!

Little Sebago is the best lake in Maine!!

What an enjoyable week at this cottage! We found it to be very clean and comfortable. To have air conditioners in the bedrooms was definitely a plus. Should you take a walk, all the neighbors are very friendly. Very close to the town of Windham for shopping. Will definitely be back next year!! 😊

Location is excellent, a great place for kids

My family had such a wonderful time at the lake, and the cove was perfect to keep the kids in sight and safe. It was quiet and the neighbors were friendly (although it's difficult to stay quiet in the cove, the neighbors didn't complain). There were plenty of beach amenities for all (kayaks, floats, docks, etc.). A couple of minor opportunities for improvement: the kitchen utensils were pretty rough, there weren't a lot of pillows and blankets were scarce. The kitchen could use a deep cleaning. These are small things in the grand scheme, but the devil can sometimes be in the details.

Great Lake house!

My family and I had a wonderful time staying at the lake house this summer. The house was clean and looks exactly like the pictures. My kids loves the basketball hoop and toys that were there! We also loved having access to the paddle board, canoe and other boats there. This is a great spot for families. The cove is quiet and perfect for swimming. Highly recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Olinto

My family and I have lived in the South End in Boston for the past 15 years. Jon and I met at Colby College when we were students there in 98 and fell in love with Maine. In 2018 we decided to purchase a lake house so that our three boys and golden retriever could spend time outdoors away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We will use the property as an investment property and rent it out to other families during times that we can no use our home.
