About this house rental
Highland Lake House boasts a beautiful view down Highland Lake with the White Mountains in the distance. Perched on the Eastern Shore of Highland Lake, you’ll enjoy watching the lazy summer sun set on the Presidential mountain range. A top location contender for the film On Golden Pond, Highland Lake offers a picturesque setting for cruising in a sailboat, canoeing, kayaking, water skiing, or simply relaxing at the water’s edge in an Adirondack chair.
Highland Lake House is owned and managed by a family who has a long history in the Lakes Region and values time by the water with loved ones. It features a charming traditional Cape Cod with plenty of parking for you and your guests. The property is roughly a third of an acre with 25 feet of waterfront and is located within walking distance to the town of Bridgton. There is a stationery dock system and a mooring for any boat you wish to bring.
The views are breathtaking.
Enjoy the property: There is a stationery dock system from shore for access to the water and lounging waterside. In addition to kayaks, there’s a mooring ready and waiting for your fishing boat, water skiing boat, or a sailboat. When it s time to eat, dine on fresh Maine lobster at the picnic table and enjoy views of the lake, or get cozy on the dock while you gaze at the spectacular sunsets.
Enjoy the town : Highland Lake House is located just one quarter of a mile to the quintessential New England village of Bridgton. Here you’ll find amenities such as a new movie theater, library, internet cafe, coffee shop, book stores, antique shops, galleries, and boutiques, plus live music nearly every night during the summer at a local lounge. There are several convenience stores and a department store for any needs you have to enhance your stay. Just a mile away you’ll find an 18 hole golf course boasting commanding views of the area.

78 Highland Road, Bridgton was a good place to stay. Everything was clean and the process of getting in and leaving was easy. I found it hard, until just before our stay, to communicate with the owner only through Vrbo - cumbersome to have to go through a third party. The house is comfortable - the screened-in porch is great. The twin beds (I used one) had no box springs, so the mattress was low and rested on the wooden slats underneath, which took some getting used to. And we were fortunate with the weather, for late August - cooler than expected temperatures - otherwise the lack of AC, at least in the bedrooms, would likely have been difficult. Suggestion: the first floor bathroom could use a hook on the door or wall, for hanging items of clothing while showering.

Perfect location for access to Highland Lake and downtown Bridgton. We could walk downtown, although Highland Road is well traveled and sidewalks do not begin until the town beach area. The weather was not the best to enjoy the outdoor space that was provided but there is plenty of room in the screened in porch and deck. The dock is a beautiful sunset venue. Kayaks were available and utilized a bit. The ping pong table in the basement was a hit. While common space in kitchen and living room are not huge, we managed to spread out in the other areas despite cooler temps. Great place for a family or two to stay if looking for a casual, cabin like experience with great access.

We had a great week at Seth's place. There was a very nice dock with a raft to swim to and dive from...the screened in porch was very nice and there was enough room in the house for the 8 of us to stretch out and not be right on top of each other all the time. The two bathrooms and two showers were wonderful to have. Game nights were the highlight of the trip and we also could not stay away from the ring and hook game on the porch. We did some fishing and explored the lake on the pontoon boat we rented. Seth was very responsive to any questions we had and we appreciate him sharing his place with us. It was a great break from day to day life and provided the recharge we all needed

Cute lakeside home with lovely porch and dock area. Host had canoe and paddle boards for use. Close to playground and beach area.

We were pleased to find this place in early spring, and enjoyed our stay there. The dock and boats were not out yet, although we would have been able to use them had we been able to carry them (we weren't).. A few things could have been made clearer in the listing, such as dates for putting out boats and dock, and the fact that YOU NEED TO BRING YOUR OWN SHEETS AND TOWELS, ALL OF THEM! We were able to purchase what we needed, but it was kind of a shock. The screened porch is delightful, and the beds comfortable. There are no closets in the 2 upstairs bedrooms so be prepared to live out of your suitcase or the quite adequate bureaus. The kitchen is just fine. Indoor dining can only be done by 4 people, but in summer I assume everyone eats at the picnic table on the porch. It would be a GREAT place if you had kids or grandkids with you! Seth was VERY responsive which was a big help.

Just returned from an excellent week long vacation. My only complaint is that it wasn't long enough. The house is fully stocked, has everything you need. When we weren't down at the lake we were on the super cozy porch. The location is perfect as it's walking distance to town with shops and restaurants. The house is very close to a small public beach. The public beach was a nice change of scenery for the kids who could enjoy swimming in shallow water and playing on an actual beach. The owner of the property was quick to respond and on top of communications. I highly recommend this rental.

The greatest place! The views of the lake are amazing. The deck area and screen house were perfect for our family. I loved being able to walk into town and visit all the shops.
We had a great week at this property.

Comfortable house with a great screened in porch and deck. Access to and from the beautiful lake was a bit of a climb! Street noise could be disruptive at times. More concise instructions on Trash pickup and Wifi would have been helpful! That being said, Host Seth was very responsive to any questions we had.

We absolutely loved the screened in porch. We spent all our time there or on the dock. The owner was very responsive. Great place. Only suggestion would be to include instructions about when trash pick up and lawn mowing would be occurring. Also, we knew there was no linen but didn’t think to supply our own toilet paper/paper towel. Fortunately, there was a store very close by!

We had a wonderful stay! The lake was quiet and beautiful. It was located in a great area with hiking trails, restaurants and a small town to walk around. The house was tidy and provided everything we needed. The canoe and kayaks were great to have access to and the screened in porch was especially nice since we ate most meals in. The owner was readily available to answer any questions. We had a lovely time.

We had an awesome second year at this property! The water is so great, and the porch is the best place. We made good use of the kitchen this year. We love the proximity to bridgton downtown and we'll definitely be back!

We first visited in 2015, creating lasting memories which brought us back in 2020. Regretfully, our trip in 2020 wasn't long enough but we still were excited to return. Since 2015, the owners have made many changes and upgrades. So grateful the owners are willing to share their property with others. My family and especially my kids will forever remember this place. Blessings!

The house was in great shape and the sunroom was fantastic. The lake was great and it was very easy to walk to town, which we did with regularity.
