Good to know

Enjoy this 3 bedroom 1.5 bath lakeside retreat on 0.7 acres of rural lakeside property with privacy from neighbors and beautiful views! On the property you can enjoy 260 feet of direct waterfront access, use of 3 kayaks, a paddle board, and a dock for fishing and relaxing/taking in the beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The house is located on Whitney pond. You can paddle all the way to and down the Little Androscoggin River or into the adjacent Hogan Pond! We are a few miles from Oxford casino and Oxford plains speedway! Our place has an area for outside dining, a fire pit overlooking the lake, and plenty of outdoor seating to relax and enjoy nature. A great location for a family vacation, we are a kid friendly property, with plenty of both indoor and outdoor toys / games / and activities for kids of all ages! The house is two level, with all bedrooms being on the second floor. Access to the lake requires a walk downhill as well as a 20 stair staircase down to the water. Our house is a true Maine gem, if you are not familiar with the outdoor life that summers in Maine entail, please read below to familiarize yourself prior to staying with us! Maine is a popular destination for biting mosquitos, ants, black flies, and other pesty insects. You will likely meet some of them during your stay. Additionally, Brown Tail Moth season is primarily June and July, but can last throughout the summer months. We recommend you to wear bug spray when outside during the night time hours, and to not venture into the woods or long brush areas. Our property is full of tall beautiful pine trees - the Maine State Tree! With their beauty and the shade they provide comes pine needles and sap, please be aware you will encounter this throughout your stay. The house is located on a true "camp dirt road". Some smaller/low riding cars might have difficulty with the narrow road and bumps. If you have concerns, please reach out and we can provide you with more details or photos.

Our stay at the lake was absolutely beautiful! The place was cozy, clean, and had such a peaceful atmosphere. You can tell the host really put thought into making it feel like home — from the comfortable bedding to the little touches around the space. Waking up to the lake view each morning was the best part! It was the perfect spot to unwind, relax, and enjoy some quiet time. We can’t wait to come back — highly recommend this stay for anyone looking for a calm, cozy getaway by the water.

Wonderful stay and place. Aileen went above and beyond to accommodate our last minute booking and her home is the nicest airbnb I’ve ever stayed at, right on the lake. Thank you Aileen and I hope to stay again in the future.

The location was the best it was right at the water and the fire pit by the water was awesome! I would make my coffee in the morning and watch the sun rise outside over the water. We were there for my son’s wedding nearby so we really were not there a lot but we loved the area. It was very clean inside! I would stay there again.

We really enjoyed our long weekend! We were visiting for a wedding and it was only a few short miles from our location to the venue. The lake was beautiful and we had a brief kayak trip one morning which was very relaxing. The drive in was a little confusing but had I read the directions better it was very clear😊 I would highly recommend staying here if you are looking for peace and relaxation in a great location.

We enjoyed the perfect getaway and our first family vacation in 2 years with 5 adults and 3 dogs for part of our stay. We created family memories in only the way that Maine can- full of lake life, lobsters, and blueberry picking. The house was all that we could want and we thoroughly enjoyed our time disconnecting from work and reconnecting with each other.

Aileen’s place was fantastic, and everything we were looking for in a Maine summer escape. The house was as advertised and the amenities were great. Would recommend this place to those looking for a lowkey lake/pond house.

We had an amazing time at Aileen’s place! The location is so quiet and being on the water was fantastic. All three of us were able to go kayaking together. My son loved fishing from the dock. We also enjoyed the fire pit
