Sit on the edge of our dock and listen to the loons. Hop in a kayak and escape to the other side of the lake to enjoy ice cream from Lakeshore Restaurant on the water. Swim at the public beach or launch your boat from the public site nearby. The yard slopes toward the lake, with the front of our home being a level higher than the backyard. You will encounter a few steps in our home. The living room is sunken by a couple inches from the dining area. The front porch/mudroom and the King Room walk-in closet both are a step lower than the rest of the home. The lower parking lot is accessed best by a full flight of deck stairs. If you need to park in the upper driveway to avoid steps, feel free to do so. Sleeping is available in the upstairs. Enjoy your visit to the Heart of Maine!
