Photos and Description of the Alexander vacation chalet rental 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, sleeps 4

Welcome to Pikku Suomi or 'Little Finland'. Floor to ceiling windows look out on evergreen & birch woods to a beautiful & secluded cove just beyond. This all-season house features a custom-built kitchen by Fine Artist of Perry, Maine & a luxurious open floor plan that rises to a large master bedroom. Over an acre of land & 200 feet of waterfront provide a wonderful sense of privacy & contemplation. The 6,675 acres of Lake Meddybemps support some of the best fishing in the state of Maine. When you arrive at water’s edge you will find a private dock for your boating, swimming & doing absolutely nothing needs, so make sure to bring your kayak or canoe. There is also a private boat launch for larger boats just a short walk away. The seacoast of Maine is nearby for dining on lobster or whale-watching. So whether you are a birder, fall foliage enthusiast or cross-country skier, wherever you decide to venture, you will love returning to “Little Finland”- truly a Maine vacation paradise.

Lake Meddybemps borders the Moosehorn National Wildlife Refuge, site of one of the largest birding areas in North America and a premier spot to observe the fall migration, and vivid autumn colors! The seacoast of Maine is 40 minutes away, and you won’t want to miss visiting wonderful towns such as Eastport and Lubec where you can sample our world-famous lobster and downeast hospitality. The bold, rockbound coast is nearby and accessible by many public and private park trails. You can make day trips to St. Andrews by-the-Sea or Campobello Island, both in New Brunswick, Canada. Known for its hiking and cross-country ski trails, Campobello is the site of Franklin D. Roosevelt's summer home. Less than 10 miles away is the border town of Calais for shopping, antiquing, movies, and restaurants. Autumn features many local harvest festivals in the nearby small towns, where you can buy everything from home-made pies to quilts to locally produced art, crafts, and other products.

Reviews for this vacation chalet rental in Alexander, Maine

Alexander vacation chalet rental rating 55/5
Our Stay on Meddybemps Lake at Pikku Suomi
Bear Cove  Lopez Island, WA
Review Submitted: October 5, 2008 Date of Stay: August 2008
I would like to take the time to thank Pat & Steve for sharing their home on Meddybemps Lake. We were there for two weeks in August and a week in September of 2008.. I spent all my summers on the lake as a child so for me it was incredible to be able to be return and experience the lake as we near retirement.

We found the home to be perfect. It was clean and well maintained. We found the kitchen well stocked, dining area and living room were set up for comfort and conversation, bedrooms comfy, nice linens and the deck had lots of seating. The outside is nicely landscaped. Having a dock made it perfect for sitting and kayaking. My brother had loaned us his fishing boat so we were able to explore the lake. A word of caution if you are new to the area check with the locals as the lake has many hidden rocks.

The house works well for adults, babies or older teenages but we wouldn't reccomend for young children as there is no real beach area for them to play although if you have a boat you may go to the ridge which has a terrific beach for children.

We found the neighbors friendly and quiet.My sister-in-law and I took a walk on the nature trail. It is a great hike but remember to wear insect repellent,hiking boots and jeans to keep the mosquitos at bay.

We live out in Washington but plan to stay again. We found Pat and Steve great to work with. They respond quickly to any questions or concerns.

Owner's Response: Thanks so much for your kind words and we hope to meet you on your next time at Meddybemps Lake! - Steve and Pat
