Have a quintessential lakefront vacation at this cabin on two lush acres, including 350 feet of private lakefrontage and two kayaks! The outside might be where you spend the most time, as it has all the waterfront vacation classics: ladder golf and outdoor seating. Renovated but with a classic Maine cabin vibe, you can tuck in here for quiet afternoons by the lake or quickly get out and explore. Though the setting is private, this home is about three miles from Boothbay Harbor, called “The Soul of the Maine Coast,” and the gorgeous 270-acre Coastal Maine Botanical Garden! The house is also just a few minutes from several of the Boothbay Region Land Trust Preserves. There are 30 miles of year-round hiking trails free of charge. Enjoy meadows, forests, wetlands, scenic vistas, and the natural beauty of the Boothbay region.

Inside, warm wood walls and floors gleam in the natural light. The living area features a large TV and a collection of DVDs, Roku with Netflix, HBO GO, and board games for family nights in. A picture window anchors this room and looks out to the lawn and quiet, inviting Knickerbocker Lake. Our home offers baseboard heating in each room to keep you warm for when the weather gets cold.

Gathering together is easy, thanks to the open floor plan. The open dining area sits between the living room and kitchen, great for prepping picnics and pancake breakfasts. There’s a fridge, a small electric stove, a microwave, and a coffeemaker.

The main bedroom has a desk area.

Lots to love but….

My family of 4 enjoyed our stay. The space was just right size. We loved the lake access and took advantage of the good weather by swimming, kayaking, and canoeing. We expected there to be bugs as this is a wooded area on a lake however, we were disposing of, at minimum, 10-20 earwigs and a plethora of ants throughout the house everyday! We were even having them fall from the ceiling while we slept, which made for very uncomfortable sleeping. We had a few rainy days but there was plenty for us to do in the house such as puzzles, games, books, and movies. Boothbay and Boothbay Harbor were so fun! So much going on all day, everyday. It was a little disappointing that everything shut down between 7-9pm every night but we made due. Overall we would return and recommend this property to our family and friends.

Rustic but needs upkeep

Enjoyed the lakeside views, use of kayaks and canoe and the large backyard for charcoal grilling and the wood fire pit. Boothbay is scenic and has great shops and restaurants Photos of the house show the rustic cabin vibe but unfortunately not the neglect. From cobwebs in the windows, overgrown weeds on the front door and crumbling exterior and sagging side buildings, the property left a poor first impression. Also the place was filthy and the electronic deadbolt didnt work and the lockbox keys were missing necessitating an hours wait for the Vacasa rep to let us in with the spare key The property provided nice amenities such as movies, games, boats and a large scenic backyard and updated mini split cooling but the property needs maintenance and cleaning to be five star

Beautiful location

This property was definitely a typical back woodsy cabin on a lake, which is exact what we were looking for and would have been perfect but for a few minor notables - there did not appear to have been any extensive spring cleaning done as the windowsills were filled with leaves and pine needles and there was a bug hanging from a cobweb in the upstairs bedroom. Also, the blind in the downstairs bedroom was filthy and broken. The refrigerator also definitely could stand to be replaced. The lake is beautiful and the kayaks were wonderful so that was a plus. If you are looking for immaculate and fancy this is definitely not the place for you but if you want a nice camp with lake access, kayaking and good fishing this cabin will suit your needs. To the property managers credit, they did attempt to connect with me a few times through their local office after I expressed my initial dissatisfaction of the cleanliness. At that point we were already settled in and I didn’t really want to be bothered, so I left it alone.

Great, secluded location

Wonderful little camp on the lake, down to that nostalgic rural lake camp smell. The well pump wasn't working correctly but the staff dealt with it in 24 hours. The beds are very comfortable and this is a great place to kick back and chill.
