About this house rental

Welcome to this stunning lake house on a pristine lake close to the Maine Lake Region and the city of Portland. This is a high end, well-stocked property with two buildings - the main house and a separate guest house.

This location is perfect for a special family vacation from where you can explore many different attractions in Maine - from the coast to the mountains to the city. This is also a perfect spot for families visiting colleges, including Bates (10 minutes), Bowdoin (45 minutes) and Colby (1 hour). All 4 seasons are spectacular. For young families looking for a learn-to-ski vacation, Lost Valley Ski Resort is 5 minutes away. Sunday River and Sugarloaf are also accessible for the more serious skiers.
In the main house, there's a first floor master suite with huge walk-in closet, and it's own patio through sliding doors overlooking the lake. This room has a King size bed with Dream Cloud mattress and plenty of room for a blow up mattress or travel cot. On the second floor are two large bedrooms, both with Queen size beds and Green Tea Memory Foam Mattresses. There is also a lovely bathroom on the second floor, with large walk in shower. The massive media room is on the second floor with a pull out Full Size sofa bed as part of the sectional sofa. This room contains a very large projector screen for those fun movie nights, and is equipped with Apple TV.
Back on the first floor you will be wowed by the vaulted living room and massive stone fireplace, open dining room and gourmet level kitchen, with granite countertops, Viking stove, Bosch dishwasher and SubZero refrigerator. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans, and all items you need for a comfortable stay. There is a den off the kitchen with Queen size pullout sofa and flat screen TV, and a private office, powder room and laundry room with washer/dryer.
The separate guest house contains a studio apartment on the second floor with King size Bed and Dream Cloud mattress, Queen size pull out sofa, and lots of extra space for air mattresses if needed. The guest house contains its own bathroom.

The property is lovely-- just like the pictures. Great morning sun and afternoon shade, nice swimming, comfortable beds, great kitchen and really nice places to sit in groups outside. We also really enjoyed the lounge floats. I wish other reviews had noted that linens are not provided in the summer months-- bringing all of our own towels, sheets, bathmats, dishtowels etc was a bit of an unpleasant surprise. It is written in the description but easy to miss.

Had an amazing stay at summerfell! The house, yard, deck, dock, and lake were all perfect - just like the listing. It accommodated our large group extremely comfortably. Would definitely come back!

Three generations of our family came together from several compass points. This large property had plenty of room inside and out for active kids, their parents and aunt, and grandparents too. We made many memories and meals together in the well-appointed gourmet kitchen. The older generation appreciated being able to retreat to the separate guest apartment for quit time. The outdoor toys and waterfront were well used during our stay.

Our family had a wonderful week due to the beautiful location on Taylor’s Pond. Family members with different interests could enjoy the property by either relaxing by the lake or being more active with the kayaks and lake equipment. The location is very family friendly. The house is spacious, clean and very well maintained. We definitely hope to be back.

The home is well stocked with appliances, and all utensils needed for everything. Rooms and bathrooms are all clean. Great central location. The dock is excellent with a cup of coffee in the morning and a beverage at night!
