My family, including dogs, stayed for 4 nights. The weather was cold and windy but the house was warm and comfortable. Loved sitting in the sunroom, the kitchen was well stocked, entertainment (TV and games) plentiful, claw tub very cool. Convenient to Portland and LLBean. Great hiking trails in Windham. Enjoyed our stay!

Great Place with a Great View and Ambience

Three ladies enjoyed four days at this property which was very peaceful and relaxing. Loved sitting down by the lake, roasting marshmellows and hotdogs with the bonfire, while watching the geese, ducks, and chippies. The house has lots of room with plenty of places for everyone to gather together. Will definitely stay here again!

Peaceful paradise

a peaceful, beautiful cabin with a gorgeous lake front setting. This is a very old cabin that has been updated/renovated but done so that the old fashioned feeling is still present. Would love the opportunity to stay here again!

Gorgeous lake views and great location

My family enjoyed the use of the kayaks and floats available. Cottage location made it easy to get back and forth to Portland. The air conditioning was a Godsend with the high temps/humidity Maine was experiencing. Kitchen was stocked with all the pots/pans to cook meals as well as the grill. Nice patio table to enjoy meals and relaxing.

Windham Lake House

Absolutely stunning property at the end of the road (zero traffic), great dock, stellar yard, cool firepit. Setup with all the "toys" kayaks, paddle boards, row boat. The beach is super shallow and great for little kids. We will 100% be back to this amazing lake house.
