Luxurious lakefront home, now booking for Summer 2024

Maison du Lac, located on picturesque Beaucaire Avenue, sits on a quiet, sunny section of magnificent Megunticook Lake. You can swim, boat or fish immediately off your own dock.

In winter, the house becomes a cozy ski cabin located only minutes from the Camden Snow Bowl. The house has a back-up generator in the event of power outages and sits peacefully on the waters edge surrounded only by nature.

The all-wood post and beam interior enjoys lake views from every room. A ground floor to rooftop fieldstone fireplace graces the living area and master bedroom. Relax in a luxurious, leather LLBean Lodge sofa or armchair after a fun day in or on the water, hiking up Maiden's Cliff, strolling through town along the harbor, or sailing on an historic windjammer out on Penobscot Bay, or a day of downhill skiing.

Maison du Lac was completely rebuilt in 2007 and is clean, fresh and modern, while maintaining the cozy charm of a lakefront cabin. The house is southwest facing and enjoys spectacular sunsets.

The property is only three miles from oceanfront downtown Camden and its many restaurants, shops, and attractions.

The location on Megunticook Lake is ideal, in a no-wake zone for boats, so swimming, kayaking or canoeing is safe and calm, and Beaucaire Avenue itself is a quiet, leafy road ideal for walking, biking or jogging. For enthusiastic boaters you have 1300 +/- acres of lake outside the no wake zone for high speed boating/tubing or waterskiing.

In winter, there is only the the lake, trees and nature as far as the eye can see, and the lake is transformed to a winter wonderland of outstanding beauty, ideal for cross country skiing, ice skating or ice fishing.

Megunticook lake is one of the finest lakes in the region with a maximum depth in places of up to 70 feet which keeps the water cool and fresh all summer long, and there is no problem with grass or weeds which plague many of the nearby smaller water bodies.

Ideally situated in the Mid-Coast region, neighboring towns such as Belfast, Rockport and Rockland also offer a thriving food, art, and shopping scene which, coupled with the area’s vast array of sporting and outdoor adventure opportunities, including fresh and salt water boating and swimming, fishing, island hopping, mountain hiking and biking, walking and so on make the region a superb vacation destination.

Maison did Lac is ideally situated in the midst of all that the area offers, and if you can bear to leave the lake at all you will have much choice of how to spend your time.

Included in your rental are all linens and towels, including swim towels. Post Covid all bedding is professionally laundered and wrapped. The house is comfortably stocked with essentials including soaps and detergents, toilet paper, paper towels, spices and various pantry items.

Inside are two flat screen Samsung TVs, 55” and 65”, high speed internet, Edifier blue tooth speakers, many books, board games, and a tuned piano for entertainment. All bedrooms now have window air conditioning installed.

We look forward to hosting you Summer 2024!

Waterfront Bliss
The waterfront cabin is perfect for a family getaway. Close to town, the harbor, outstanding local restaurants and beautiful sites. It served as a great home base but also a serene location for kayaking, fishing, swimming and reading. Beautiful views of the lake from all rooms. The kitchen and large tables were perfect for family dinners, puzzles and game nights. The hosts were available and ensured we had a great stay!

Absolutely wonderful home and location!!!
We had a fabulous time enjoying this beautiful property!!! Nestled on the edge of the lake, this home included everything you need to have a wonderful vacation - canoe and kayak for enjoying the lake & hammock for afternoon nap. The fire place was also lovely on the cool evenings. The home has been updated, but keeps the original character of the home. Our family very much enjoyed this home and will be returning!!!

Excellent quick trip to Camden
My wife and I decided in the early evening on a Friday to try and book a last minute trip to Maine for the Labor Day holiday. Our hosts were wonderfully accommodating and very responsive - without which our whim of a trip never would have happened. On top of that, the house was perfect. Wonderfully finished, a beautiful setting , great views, easy access to town... Not much more to be asked for. Highly recommended.

Wonderful house on beautiful lake with great swimming, kayak, and canoe access
This house is all that it is advertised to be and more. It easily accommodated our extended family of eight with full cooking and laundry facilities. Fully furnished with comfortable living and bedroom furniture inside, and a convenient dock for swimming and boat access, along with a separate kayak and canoe launch outside. The sunsets over Lake Megunticook were spectacular and often complemented with the presence of loons. Ben

Beautiful and relaxing location and a great week with friends!
What a fun week we had at this beautiful lake house! Our group was two families, one from Chicago IL and one from Portland OR. We were looking for relaxation, time together and the perfect location and this house was it. We knew from reading previous reviews it was a special place and they were right. The house was very comfortable, had everything we needed (our kids LOVED the record player!!), was quiet and private (despite being close to the road) and the lake views (especially at sunset) and swimming dock were perfect. We ventured out in the mornings, including walking at Fernald's Neck Preserve on the Lake, hiking Mt Battie (take the trailhead at Megunticook Street), and walks on Beaucaire and the surrounding streets. Afternoons were almost always spent on the dock - swimming, jumping, reading in the sun, kayaking, canoeing and paddle boarding (we rented one through Maine Sports on Rt 1). It was, simply put, the perfect summer vacation. We also did a day trip to Acadia which was well worth it. Also highly recommend the Morning Haul on the "Lively Lady" of Camden Harbor Cruises. We all enjoyed watching them haul the traps and learning about lobsters. The kids got to toss the small lobsters back and bait the traps. Highly recommend Camden Cone for ice cream. It was delicious! We also did a catered dinner (lobster rolls, chowder, salads, cookies etc) through Laura Cabot Catering to celebrate an anniversary. It was very good and so nice to enjoy on the deck at sunset. Overall, we would go back to Megunticook Lake in a heartbeat and hope to be back at this very special place soon!
