Vintage Cottage on Lake Thompson in Poland Spring

Vintage Cottage surrounded by window boxes of flowers, and Guest
House a few feet behind it are just steps away from a large sandy
beach and Lake Thompson - 4426 acres, 11 miles long, max depth of
121', and several islands. Since the lake is spring fed by the
Poland Springs aquifer, it's considered to be one of the most
pristine lakes in Maine.

Guest House has a 2nd floor dorm room with a cathedral ceiling, two
skylights and a paddle fan. First floor includes washer, dryer, 2nd
refer and storage area.

We are on the East side and so we get spectacular sunsets. Peaceful,
private setting among 100 yr old trees, lush ferns, old stone walls
that were built before the trees grew. We have no ambient light so
you see lots of stars, and no background noise - you won't believe
how quiet it is!

Duck families will visit, loons will serenade you, and we have often
sited deer, moose, foxes, etc. Very good fishing for salmon, lake
trout and bass.

Fernwood Camp owns a large land buffer between us and the girl's
camp and so we have tons of privacy and the land feels as much like
ours as theirs. Fernwood sprays for mosquetoes too which is great.

Wonderfully appointed kitchen features new refrigerator, microwave,
ceramic top stove with self cleaning oven, all new pots and pans and
dishes, new table and chairs, hot water heater and even a huge
lobster pot!

Use our linens and towels, and clean them with a brand new washer
and dryer. Beds are all new - 3 dbl, 1 queen, 1 twin, 2 bunkbeds,
and 2 pullout sofas.

Screened porch, 4 new window fans, Monitor heating, TV, DVD, fire
pit, grill, large picnic table, hammock and phones. Cathedral
ceiling with paddle fan and collestery windows in family room
provides lots of light and cheer and wonderful views from the loft.

Dock can easily accommodate a 21'+ boat and is protected by a
breakwater of boulders. Large float and slide is a big hit!

Explore the lake quietly with the canoe, or use our 10' fishing boat
and 7 hrs motor. Snorkel and be amazed by the huge boulders left by
glaciers. Swim quietly along the shore and you might find a curious
loon tagging along.

Situated just an hour away from the Portland airport and the coast,
you can visit many white sand ocean beaches, and quaint towns filled
with shops, fine restaurants, and art galleries, from Kennebunkport
to Acadia National Park. Take a ferry to many of the islands off the
coast.
