Highland Lake is a beautiful private pristine lake located in Windham/Falmouth Maine. Our lake is fed by springs and streams. The south end of the lake empties into a channel and becomes a tributary of the Presumpscot River, and then onto Casco Bay. We have some of the best fishing and sunsets around! The lake is perfect for kayaking, viewing wildlife, swimming, sunning, relaxing with friends, family, books, puzzles and enjoying great local food! Youll find that Fayth Cottage is in a peaceful setting nestled in a classic lakeside community speckled with cottages and homes all along a preserved shoreline. You will have private access to 100 feet of shoreline, a stationary dock and a floating dock. Enjoy a beautiful sunset, listen to the loons or take our double and single kayaks out on the water to explore the lake. Feel like a change of pace Jump in your car and head to Portland and in 15 minutes you'll find yourself in a food lovers paradise! The city is home to some of the best chefs who have relocated from around the globe, making Portland one of the hottest spots nationally on the food scene. You can also hop on a ferry in the Old Port to visit or tour the islands in Casco Bay. There are museums, music venues, and historical sites (not to mention water) all in and around the greater Portland area. In addition to our beautiful spot on Highland Lake there are beaches close by for day or afternoon trips. Freeport, home of our beloved LL Bean flagship store and campus is only a car ride away. There you will find outlets, coffee shops, restaurants, ice cream parlors, cafes and much more. Also located in Freeport is Wolfes Neck Woods State Park. It's well worth checking out if you want to decompress from an afternoon of shopping. Its a short drive from the village and the views are breathtaking. The park is composed of woodlands, estuaries, rocky coast line, guided nature walks and osprey watching. One of the many amazing things about Highland Lake is its proximity to vastly different landscapes in the surrounding area. We have mountains, rivers, lakes, ocean, hiking, fishing, boating all within a reasonable distance to make your vacation filled with a rich experience of what our beautiful state has to offer. Whether you want to drop your bags and kick back for your entire stay at our home, or maybe you have an interest in exploring and experiencing the many things our area has to offer, you couldn't have picked a better spot than Fayth Cottage! By the end of your stay we hope that you will understand why we affectionally say Maine, the way life should be!

    We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautifully clean, well-appointed, and provided a cozy, comfortable environment. While the oven was unfortunately broken during our visit, and they couldn't arrange for a repair while we were there, the host did offer a small reimbursement for the inconvenience. We had planned to cook most of our meals, so this was a bit of a setback, but it didn't overshadow the overall experience. The house itself is lovely, and we especially enjoyed spending time on the dock by the warm lake—a perfect spot for relaxation. Just a note for future guests: there’s only one bathroom, located on the first floor, while the bedrooms are upstairs. This could be a challenge for those who get up frequently during the night or have mobility concerns. Despite this, we found the property to be a great getaway spot!

    A lovely, recently renovated cottage steps from the lake. This house, unlike so many rentals where we have stayed, feels as though you are home. Extremely well appointed with quality, tasteful furnishings and a fully appointed kitchen. Clearly this is a house also visited by its owner! My only minor suggestion would be to have an air conditioner or two in the bedrooms, especially as our Maine summers keep getting warmer and warmer.

    We loved our week here. Everything was great. Be aware that there's no air conditioning upstairs in the bedrooms, but it cooled off every night with the fans and was comfortable. Also, be aware that the ceilings are a bit low. My son is 6'6 and had to duck often. But we loved our week here.

    This was our second stay, and we enjoyed it even more this time. We had paddle boards delivered and there are kayaks at the house are great. Teresa’s lake house is easy to get to and also feels far away from Portland. The sound of the loons, morning paddles, family time. It doesn’t get any better. Fresh cut wildflowers in each room was a nice touch too!

    Beautiful property on the lake. Clean, well maintained and decorated, and generously appointed with the needed supplies. Lots of room to spread out, people could sleep in the finished walk out basement as well. Quiet lake and neighborhood, very peaceful. Tall people should know that bedrooms are upstairs in a converted attic with low archways. Middle of the night bathroom trips require a trip downstairs to the first floor. None of these detracted from our experience at this nice house.

    Our family of five (3 teenagers) thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this quaint cottage! The home is just as displayed in the pictures and Teresa was great to work with. The surrounding area offers many fun outings and day trips.

    Highland Lake is a hidden treasure. (We had no idea lake was private until we arrived!) Fayth Cottage was the perfect spot to enjoy the water. Portland Paddle was awesome as well with their paddle board rentals. Delivery and pickup totally seamless. Stunning sunsets. The cottage is charming and cozy. Everything we needed was there! ???
