Beautiful, quiet Maine lake retreat.

Description

Our Maine vacation home has four bedrooms, and sits on a lake. The house has been lovingly restored in keeping with its history, with wood floors, lots of light, stone fireplace, screened-in porch. We have spent every summer there for years, sailing, canoeing and kayaking, swimming, jumping off a rope swing on a small island, reading in the hammock or on the breezy screened-in porch. In winter, we ski at Sunday River, just ten minutes away. Downtown Bethel, recognized as "Maine's most beautiful village," is only five miles away, and has wonderful restaurants and shops. Spectacular hiking is within a half-hour's drive, in the White Mountain National Forest, home to Mount Washington, the highest mountain east of the Mississippi.
