Highland Lake, Falmouth, Maine
This beautiful little cottage (camp if you are from Maine)
is situated on Highland Lake (Duck Pond) in Falmouth, Maine. Highland lake is a 3 mile long private lake
with only one public boat launch that is hand carry only. The camp is located on the eastern shore in a
cove with the only beach. The lake is
perfect for kayaking, canoeing, fishing,
swimming, beautiful sunsets and wildlife (bald eagles, loons, turtles,
beaver etc).
The camp is only 30 minutes from downtown Portland, Maine. Portland is a great city to explore with museums, parks, shopping, breweries and dining. Freeport is 30 minutes away with the outlets and LL Bean but also a great state park, Wolfe’s Neck. There are many antique shops in the area as well as access to shopping plazas and restaurants in the neighboring town of Windham. If you like to hike, you can get to the most eastern portion of the White Mountains in less than 2 hours (beautiful drive even if you do not hike that brings you through the lakes region).
If you just want to relax, the camp has a spacious deck with views of the lake or you can walk down to the beach and go for a swim, canoe or lounge around and read a book. If you like to fish, you will need a license and we can provide the information on how to get one. In the evening come down with a snack and camera to watch one of the beautiful sunsets.
The camp is an updated 2 bedroom (1double, 2 twin), 1 bath cottage blending the old and the new. The camp has a sleeper couch that folds out to a double bed. The camp has a tv with cable and wifi and good cell phone coverage. We will provide linens for bed/bath and the kitchen has all the amenities that you would need (dishes, pots/pans, microwave, toaster, coffee machine with filters etc). We have a new mini-split heat pump that will cool and heat the camp efficiently. We also have a gas heating stove to take the chill out of the air and a ceiling fan to help circulate the air. In each of the rooms we have a small ceramic heater to help with any heating. Personal items such as soap, shampoo will need to be brought but we will provide the toilet paper, paper towels, dish and hand soap. Please bring your own lawn/beach chairs . You can bring your canoe, kayak, paddleboard or any other hand carry boat (PFDs are required by Maine law and we have several sizes for you). Sorry no pets.
