About this property

Leave it All Behind! Sebago Lake Area Cottage, Kayak, Canoe & Fish, Pets Free!

COME VISIT US AND MAKE SOME AMAZING MAINE MEMORIES! RENTERS HAVE FREE ACCESS TO SEBAGO LAKE STATE PARK AND BEACH AND FREE USE OF A CANOE, KAYAK, DOCK, FIREWOOD, AND WIFI AT THE WATERFRONT COTTAGE. PET-FRIENDLY! BOOKING FOR SUMMER WEEKS 2024. VISIT FOR A HOLIDAY, A LONG WEEKEND, OR TO BOAT, FISH, AND SWIM! THE COTTAGE IS OPEN YEAR-ROUND.

Rates are based on the number of occupants, holidays, and length of stay. We are one of the most reviewed cottages with a 5-star rating in the Sebago Lake area! Please ask us about our sister property if you don't see the week you want available.

The four-season, heated cottage sits quietly along the tranquil Crooked River, which feeds into Sebago Lake. The Living Room has DirectTV with a 55-inch UHD TV. Recently, we added an outdoor private hot shower, an expanded deck, and a new tiled floor to the kitchen. Come for the fun, come for the lobster! Want to indulge in some lobster while visiting? We will provide information on getting the freshest and cheapest lobster and will provide the lobster pot!

You are in the heart of the Sebago Lake Region. The cottage is minutes away from Sebago Lake State Park Beach, the magnificent sights of the Naples Causeway, and the shops, restaurants, and bars of downtown Naples. However, you will feel a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Being a family-owned and operated cottage, you are like family when you stay with us!

We recently updated the kitchen with a granite countertop and added hardwood flooring to the living room and upstairs bedroom. The deck overlooking the water has been doubled in size since 2021.

The location is quiet and relaxing for families, couples, and friends reuniting. The vacation house is 1300 square feet large. The outdoor deck overlooks the 125 feet over water frontage. A small, sandy beach area is located by the river, along with a dock to swim from and to keep a power or pontoon boat. Sebago Lake is a 20-minute boat ride from the house. Boat landings are nearby. Within a few minutes by car are several marinas that rent watercrafts for personal use. You can ride to the Songo Locks, Brandy Pond, Long Lake, and Frye Island by boat. You have access to the kayak and canoe with life jackets. During all four seasons, anglers of all ages fish for such species as landlocked salmon, bass, lake trout, and brook trout.

The location is also less than 3 miles from an 18-hole golf course. The house rental allows free access to the Sebago Lake State Park and Beach. The State Park Beach has a sandy bottom, and its entrance is 2 miles from the house. Take your family or loved ones to a movie at the Bridgton Drive-in. The house is less than an hour from popular tourist areas such as Oxford Casino, Portland, Freeport, and North Conway!

Please watch the brief video in the photos above to see how you will enjoy inside and outside of the cottage. https://youtu.be/1OtmWGfFk0o?si=eiBsdXJOd3gibl_K

Testimonials from renters.

Annette from MA- Your house is truly beautiful; it was very peaceful and the river was interesting. The best part is the beach by the river- my dog really enjoyed wading in the river- and the deck facing the river. There was really a ton of space and it was really clean.

The flowers in the yard were pretty cool, too- the ones surrounding the house were just starting to bloom; I bet by now there's an explosion of color surrounding your house. We'd love to come back and stay again.

Karen from NJ- We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and appreciated the quiet mornings. The cabin has a lovely view of 'Crooked River' and it was satisfying to enjoy a cup of coffee while sitting on the bench near the water's edge. The cabin is centrally located to all that Maine has to offer and we enjoyed our trip to the Fryeburg Fair(get there early!). We also spent a day in New Hampshire. We finished up with several day trips in the other direction to Freeport, Portland and Kittery. We love Maine!!

Mike from PA- I wanted to let you know that everything was FANTASTIC. The Wife, the dog and I loved getting out of the city to relax. It is truly beautiful up there. I loved the cabin as well. The pictures on the listing do it no justice! I'll surely be back to visit it this summer. Also, your parents were great! I had a nice chat about Pennsylvania (I'm from Philadelphia originally). Small world. Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for the excellent experience.

Eric from MA- We greatly enjoyed our stay. We thought the cottage was perfect for our needs and enjoyed the ability to either sit around a fire or have fun on the beach. Once again thank you for allowing the opportunity for us to rent your property during the 4th.

The three bedroom house can hold up to 11 guests. The bunkhouse can be used for up to 3 guests to sleep. The house has several amenities you may not find at all vacation rentals. It has a dock, grill, stove, porch, dock, canoe, kayak and a campfire area with firewood. A staircase takes you to the master bedroom. Pets are welcomed. The nearby sister property can be rented for multi-families vacationing at the same time.

Upon your arrival, the house has such supplies as toilet paper, paper towels, facial tissues, trash bags, common kitchen spices, dish towels, matches, firewood, first aid kit, fire extinguisher and flashlights. Renters must provide their own linens and towels for bathing. One king-size bed, two beds are queen-size and one twin bunk bed. The living room has a full-size pull out sofa and a twin-size bunk bed. The house has several board games and three televisions. The living room has a 55 in hdtv and a dvd player.

The area is truly a four-season delight! In the summer, many vacationers visit the Lake Region to fish, boat, sightsee, kayak, canoe, and relax on one of the many bodies of water. A unique feature of the area is the Songo Locks, one of the last remaining functioning locks to connect two bodies of water in Maine. The house's dock can be used to secure a boat and swim.

The price is based on number of occupants, length of stay, holidays and season. It is a pet-friendly rental that does not charge extra for pets.

Lovely family get-a-way
We stayed just after storms had came through the area so understandably some of the property's attributes were not accessable to us. The floating dock was pulled out of the water and placed on the beach area, which didn't leave too much bank area for fishing, and obstructed the view of the water from the chair swing. The deck was huge and beautiful. The inside of the house was clean and cozy. The kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of dishes and cleaning supplies. The washer worked great and there was even a wooden rack available for drying clothes on. Beds were SUPER comfortable. We all really enjoyed staying here and hope to stay again next year!

Perfect Cozy Getaway
We loved staying at this property in the off season (December). It was so quiet in the area and we found plenty to do hiking, campfires, and just spending time unwinding. The homes are closer than I could tell from the listing photos, but the trees also had no leaves- it would be more private in the summer. The home was so well stocked that it made cooking out meals a breeze. We have already talked about coming back for the summer. Thank you!

Easy getaway!
Needed a long-weekend getaway. Neat cabin in the woods, on a river. Location is nice because it feels "middle of nowhere" but in fact it's a convenient location to explore the lakes region and get to Portland if desired. Cabin was very clean and well-appointed. Kitchen had everything we needed, no issues with the place whatsoever. We'd come back!

The cottage was charming. I appreciated the attention to detail the hosts left all over the property. Plenty of clear directions. The light switches were even labeled! There were extra chargers and recommendations for anything we could need. Cleaning supplies were plentiful and they even left the most thoughful welcome gift! We 100% would recommend and would stay again.

Quintessential cottage. Everything you would expect for a Maine woods vacation. Clean with everything you need. Nice large deck overlooking the water for relaxing or having a meal. Quiet little neighborhood. Feels like the middle of nowhere yet close to everything. Lakes, shopping and restaurants. Friendly hosts available if needed for anything.

Hummingbird Lane has stood up for its name as we saw many birds bopping along right near the rear deck! The deck has been redone and is so spacious, clean and comfortable with provided outside chairs and lounge area. Very nice! Unfortunately the weather was not on our side but we did get in to kayak the river and was so beautiful and peaceful Thank you again Kyle, we definitely will be back !

Relaxing stay
The atmosphere of this place was so calm and relaxing. I enjoyed the area and was close to everything we needed or wanted (umbrella factory, Dunkin’ Donuts, family dollar and the causeway) My 3 and 2 year old boys had the best time. Beautiful outdoor trees and got to see a hummingbird come around a few times! Kyle was a great host. I wish we got to stay longer and I look forward to coming back to visit this rental!

nice cottage on river near Lake Sebago
We had a very nice stay at the Rhoads Family Cottage over the holiday break and the cottage being dog friendly was a bonus. From the time of booking until check-in, the communication with Kyle was fantastic. The cottage was clean and as described. We were hoping for enough snow for snowshoeing, but that wasn't in the cards this week. We did, however, do some nice hikes at the Bald Pate Mountain Preserve and in Sebago Lake State Park, both within 20 minutes away. The cottage is right on a river with a nice big deck and side yard so would certainly be a great place to return for a warm weather visit to enjoy some fun on the water with grilling and yard games. Thank you Rhoads family for sharing your retreat with us.

About the host

Hosted by Kyle

Host profile image
Hi, I am Kyle Rhoads and I usually respond to rental inquiries. My wife, Carrie, my daughter, Ava, and I often help maintain and clean the cottage. We are a family of educators with my parents both retired educators. I am a Principal of a local elementary school; my sister and wife are both school counselors. We love this location for the family memories, the peaceful living, and our love for watersports. My Dad loves to fish and often helps renters know where to find the best spots to catch 'the big one' that did not get away!

Why they chose this property

Our family bought the cottage first as a summer place and then as our primary home because we were spending so much time at it! It is no longer our primary home for us but we want to keep the property so future generations of our family can relax and enjoy the summer months on the water in Maine. Because of taxes and the mortgage payments, we rent the cottage so we can keep our 2 cottages owned by our family.

What makes this property unique

I love sitting on the deck or the living room and feel the breeze from the river. You are easily relaxed by the sun rays and warm summer breeze while laying on the dock, sitting by the beach area, or sitting on the deck sipping a cold drink. The grounds have plenty of room to roam and explore. Many guests will set up a volleyball net or a horseshoe pit. Flowers in the gardens bloom throughout the year. The cottage is kid-friendly My young nieces love to play in the water while we watch them from the deck. They, also, love to pick blueberries by the water. If we can get them to wait to eat them, they are delicious with cereal and milk!
