Relax and unwind in our lovely lakefront home on beautiful Panther Pond. Our cottage hosts expansive lake views, great sunsets, and is the perfect place for a get-away any time of year! Grab your fleece and strike up a fire in the fire pit at the water's edge or cozy up next to one in the warmth of our living room with large stone hearth.
The setting of our four-season lakefront home is peaceful and private, it is surrounded by trees but has a fantastic view of the lake.

This tranquil retreat was so enjoyable. The views are wonderful. We immediately felt comfortable, cozy & at home. We had Long walks in the morning Thru nature, hours on the lake kayaking, swimming in the clear cool water of the lake & lounging on the floating dock. Kristen was a wonderful host making sure all our needs were covered. We can’t wait to return.
Thanks so much,
Patricia & Anthony

It is the house I have always dreamed of!
Our dream retirement would be a house on a lake. We are never going to have this, so we wanted to finally rent one to see what it is like. This checked off all the boxes! The layout, the cabin feeling, the beautiful sloping front yard leading to the water, the plants, everything! The house had everything you would need, move in ready. The quiet serene atmosphere was what it was all about. What a wonderful place to live in peace and serenity. I definitely want to be a returning renter every year! Oh, and Kristen is wonderful!

Perfect place for relaxation
My friend and I absolutely loved this property and definitely plan to return. It was cozy and at the same time very spacious. Everything we needed for the week was provided in the cottage and the location was absolutely perfect to unwind and relax. The view was gorgeous and provided beautiful sunsets while enjoying the fire pit right by the lake. We had a few rainy days so took advantage with a quick trip to Bridgeton and North Conway.

Paradise
I am somewhat reluctant to give this review, because I don’t want everyone else booking this place. This was absolute paradise. You can tell from the moment you step in this house that the owners care about this house and every person who stays here. We loved everything, from the decorating down to the amenities. We spent hours out on the lake kayaking, swimming, and just taking in the view. Super clean and everything you need is provided. We will be here again as soon as possible.

Perfect Panther Pond
This was the 2nd time we stayed at this camp. Last year we booked for a week, it was so great that I booked for an extra 3 days this year. It is the perfect camp to stay at. The home is comfortable, and clean as well as beautiful with great outside spaces. The view from the deck is outstanding. The pond itself is pristine. I can not wait to visit again!!!

Amazing Property with Breathtaking Sunsets!
This house is absolutely perfect! Everything I expected and more. Fully stocked kitchen - plenty of dishes, utensils, pans, and even a salad spinner! Not a speck of dust or single stray bug - which is very impressive for a lake house in the woods!!
The screened in area under the deck was perfect for rainy days. The lake was very quiet, much less boat traffic than other lakes in the area. The dock and swim raft were wonderful.
I pay attention to details and there is not one thing I would change about this property. Lots of nice touches making it very homey, not like other generic rental properties out there.

When can I go back??
We had a wonderful experience at this property! On Day 1 of our stay I inquired about renting the place again next summer. It was the perfect lake getaway with our family!!

Family weekend
Thank you Karen for an amazing long weekend at your property. Everything was perfect, from the beautiful lake front location to the warm and inviting home itself. We all had plenty of room to relax and we spent some quality time fishing and just relaxing on the deck in the sun. Oh, and thank you for the pie, that was You so sweet! We hope to come back for another stay sometime soon!

All Season Stay
The road getting to the house during winter can be tough. However, it is worth the drive! An adorable cabin sitting on top of a gorgeous lake! I can see the appeal of renting all year long here! Plus, the sunsets were stunning! 10/10

Amazing!
We absolutely loved our stay here. It was such a cozy (and amazingly decorated) cottage for a winter getaway. Watching the sunrise over the lake with my coffee each morning and playing games by the fire each night was just what I needed! The kids rooms are so adorable, and my preteen LOVED watching movies in bed and having her own space. Kristen was very attentive and got back to me right away to answer questions!

The house was very comfortable and inviting. The lake views were magical whether it be a morning mist or moon beam glow ...We enjoyed the indoor fireplace as well as the fire pit. Many large pine trees on either side of the house that added to the natural beauty and privacy. Idyllic location and home.

Perfect Stay!
We had the most amazing girls weekend at Panther Pond! The property was even better than the pictures! It was so clean, had everything we could need, and so quiet! We were able to spend some time using the kayaks and canoe, but our favorite was being able to sit on the dock in the sunshine, taking a swim in the very cold September pond, and sitting around the fire pit in the evenings. This was exactly what we were looking for and we couldn’t have been happier!

Amazing lake house!
My family, as well of my parents , stayed at this beautiful lake house in mid September. We COULD NOT have found a better house! So clean, beautiful views, fantastic docks, and amazing owners who clearly communicate and are easy to reach. One minute after stepping into the house we are already planning to come back!!

Quiet lake house
The pictures don’t do the house justice. The house was tastefully decorated, we had enough room to spread out as 5 adults. Plenty of seating, the kitchen had everything you need to cook with. We enjoyed having a private doc and utilized the kayaks and canoe. The fire pit was nice for our chilly nights. Overall I highly recommend the staying here! It is a little off the beaten path so I recommend stopping for food on the way.

Great lakehouse.
This is our second year renting this property, it is great for the whole family, it has 2 different living quarters. My teenage boys got the whole downstairs to themselves, (bedroom, living room, and a bathroom. Me, my sister and granddaughter stayed on the main floor. This property is exceptional. It is very homey and welcoming. We plan on renting again next year.

Best Vacation Home Ever!
This is truly the best vacation home I've ever rented. It was absolutely immaculate and beautifully furnished, complete with AC and WiFi. The whole house was so well thought out with space for everyone, perfectly stocked and so much to do - kayaking, swimming off the dock, firepit, outdoor screened-in dining and lounging. The lake was much bigger than we expected and so fun to explore! And the water was the perfect temperature for swimming and boating. I cannot say enough about this gorgeous home! We cannot wait to come back!

Ice fishing the Derby 2020
I can't say enough about this property and the flexibility and responsiveness of Kristen the owner. Kristen was able to let us arrive early so we could get a full day of fishing in on our first day and allowed us to park our cars in the driveway until the afternoon on the day of our departure. She responded to every message promptly and was very easy to work with. The house itself is amazing with an attention to detail that you don't find in most rental properties. Two beautiful bathrooms, three nice bedrooms, and a porch and seating area under the porch that must be an ideal place to relax during the summer months. We hope to rent again in the summer and would highly recommend this place for anyone looking to stay in the Sebago area.

The best winter weekend away
I don’t think we could have been more obsessed with this house! Every little nook, cranny and decoration was down right adorable! We felt just at home and did not want to leave. And leave we didn’t! We found ourselves so content just hanging around the house, we couldn’t have been happier. It was nice to be close to local restaurants and a hannaford though! We will be back!

It doesn't get any better !
This is the perfect lakeside vaction house. From the beautiful setting and spectacular view of Panther Pond to the immaculately maintained and comfortably furnished interior.
We enjoyed a week of kyaking , canoeing and relaxing during the day and quiet meals and campfires in the evening.
Everything was beyond our expectations.
Collectively our family gives it 12 thumbs up !

Great little piece of heaven.
Let me start by saying my family has rented lake houses for years in Maine, this one stood out from the beginning. From the first moment we walked into this cottage we felt welcomed. From the quilts to the fireplaces, this was the perfect cottage. The boys had the bottom floor to themselves. Very spacious. It had all the necessities anyone could need. We will be coming back for sure. Kristen, thank you for sharing your little piece of heaven with my family.

A week on the lake
A truly beautiful and wonderfully organized home on a gorgeous part of the lake. Swimming, tubing, fishing, and kayaking with the family from dawn until dusk. The owner was very helpful throughout the process from booking through post departure. Highly recommend this place.....you just can’t have our week:-)!

Kristen’s lake house on Panther Pond was perfect in every way!
This lake house in Raymond Maine is one I would return to again and again. The owners have anticipated your every need. The bedrooms have wonderful linens and the showers have lots of hot water!! The house really was immaculate!! The owner was quick to respond to my questions and was always so kind and friendly!!

Beautiful lake house
Our family of four had a wonderful five-night stay! The lake is beautiful and the property is set up to take full advantage of it, with kayaks and a canoe, as well as a nice dock, lake-side Adirondack chairs and fire pit. The lovely outdoor patio had plentiful and comfortable seating and a gorgeous westward lake view from which we watched the sun set.
The inside of the house was very nice, as well, with enough comfortable seating in the living room, a table for four next to the kitchen, and a large table for bigger groups downstairs, in the covered patio. We all found the beds to be comfortable and were happy to have air conditioning and fans during our stay, when the weather was pretty hot. The Wifi worked well, as did the washer and dryer, and the décor had a lake vacation vibe. Kristen was helpful and available to answer our questions.
We hope to return!

Awesome vacation week at Panther Pond
Sunny skies and temps in the mid 70's set the tone for an excellent vacation week on Panther Pond.The accommodations were excellent from the very comfortable beds to the basement entertainment room, expansive deck and wonderful dock. We ate dinners in the screened in porch, relaxed on the deck and swam, kayaked and paddleboarded in the warm waters of the lake. The fishing was good as I landed and released a 21" smallmouth bass. We hiked Douglas Mountain in Sebago which offered up splendid vistas of Sebago Lake, the White Mountains and the peaks of western Maine. Mini-golf at Seacoast Adventures was excellent as was the ice cream at Dugout Ice Cream. We golfed at Bridgton Highlands CC & Fairlawn CC. We did a day trip over to Freeport for some shopping at LLBean as well as the other retail stores there. There were plenty of activities to keep us busy and we had a great time. We did not run into any issues during our vacation and Kristen provided a wealth of information leading up to the trip.

Wonderful!
The house is IMMACULATE. Thank you for that. It was such a treat to not have to wash the dishes before using them.
The attention to detail and functionality of the house is great.
Plenty of space to stretch out. The screened in porch (the reason we rented) is wonderful.
The furnishings were lovely and comfortable.
We had sun all day due to the property facing west. Saw several beautiful sunsets.
We loved the road leading to the house. It provided us great walks in the morning.
The location is convenient. Close to everything.
Watching the resident bald eagle soaring over the lake was amazing.
This house has the feel and nostalgia of an old-fashioned cottage by the lake but with all the modern amenities and creature comforts of today.
We will rent this home again.

Best week ever!
Having grown up on Panther Pond, I was really looking forward to spending a week back on the lake. I had not seen this cottage in person before I booked our week, but I was familiar with the location. When we arrived, we were more than pleasantly surprised. The cottage is gorgeous, impeccably clean, and the owners have thought of everything to make your visit perfect. Our favorite room was the patio under the deck which was beautiful and where we ate dinner every night. And when we opened the neat little shed and saw all the water toys available, we were blown away! My wife can be a little picky when it comes to places to stay (don't worry, she knows I'm writing this!) but even she high fived me and said, "This place is great!". We are already planning a week for next summer.
