Escape to Serenity: Your Private Maine Lakefront Awaits at Little Sebago Lookout

The views were amazing from every level and the whole scenery was nothing short of spectacular.This camp was not only wonderful for me to rest, study, and soak in the lake and woods, but it also had all the gear for serious kayaking adventures if I wanted to.The stay was deeply relaxing and rejuvenating. Very peaceful too…the kind of peace that lingers long after leaving.I would definitely stay again.Thank you Shawn for providing this amazing lake house.

Angelic and private cottage / camp. Great views of the lake. Perfect for my wife and i . Home was clean and close to restaurants/ activities. Abundance of wild life and was a relaxing stay. The only drawback is the home sits at bottom of hill on the lake resulting in a lot of stairs to traverse to get to the home . Otherwise perfect for what were looking for .

This is our second time staying at the property and it was just as wonderful as the first. Close to everything you might want to do for hiking and excursions but once you're sitting on the deck at the lake you really feel like you've gotten away. Appreciate the full kitchen and towels and linens for the house. Hope to be able to return again in the future.

Place could use some TLC but enjoyed the lake a lot. Fishing equipment would have been a nice extra, kayaks, canoe and paddle boards were lots of fun. thank you very much!

Wonderful place to getaway

Shawn made check in/ check out super easy for us. We appreciated that water and cleaning supplies were provided. It was also lovely to have a window unit in the bedroom and living room. The views are absolutely breath taking sun up to sundown. It was the perfect little get away.

We booked last minute in holiday week and got what was left…Pros: Geographic location, property on lake with dock and fire pit, lakeside patio with view and gas grill. Canoe and 2 Kayaks.Cons: Many, many steps with spiral staircase-we are in good shape so did not bother us. No dining room. Seating option was stained, uncovered patio furniture with bird pooped table which we spent time making usable. Outside stairs and patio, grill, covered with pine needles and had not been blown off in weeks. Kayaks and canoe have not been cleaned in months and spent 2 hours clearing insects, leaves, and dirty water to make them usable.Finally, on the second night, the bedroom was overrun with bugs. I mean everywhere and I spentan hour clearing them without success. We had to sleep on couches in family room which was ok.

The setting was absolutely beautiful. Shawn was extremely responsive and went out of his away to be accommodating. Would highly recommend!

Oh so quiet and pretty. Seeing the fall colors and hearing loons in the morning as we sipped our coffee on the deck seeing the calm water with a light fog was so relaxing. Sunsets beautiful and far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close enough for day trips.

In mid-September, it felt that we were the only ones on the lake. A very peaceful stay. I imagine that in summer many more cottages would be in use. For early morning access to the lake and to the bottom floor kitchen for coffee, I used the outdoor steps to exit the top floor bedroom in order to give my adult son some privacy in the middle floor-- equipped with comfortable futon/couch. The indoor spiral staircase starts on the top floor with a landing on the middle floor and continues to the bottom floor. Swimming was great. Sitting on the dock was lovely.

The location is right on the lake. Best part of the house is the deck, from which we heard loons in the early morning. Some drawbacks are described in the listing: the stairs, and the tight winding staircases for the 3 levels of the house. What could be remedied would be to provide a dining table for the deck, as there is no table for dining inside or out. Also, a dishwasher for the kitchen, and a general tidy up for the property. I would also suggest refinishing the deck, which is worn and weathered.

The only difficulty was getting our kayaks down to the water. There is a winch system which made it easier. Overall, it was an hour to get them down and an hour to get them up. There are kayaks and paddle boards already there for the using but we wanted our kayaks down there. Thanks goodness for the winch sytem.

My husband and I stayed here to celebrate our 10-year anniversary and we absolutely LOVED it! The cabin was wonderful.. amazing lake views from every level. Very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. Great spot on the lake.. couldn’t see our neighbors, water was clear and warm, the deck and dock were spectacular. We kayaked with loons, enjoyed meals on the deck, and had campfires next the water. So relaxing and rejuvenating! Shawn was super nice and welcoming snd helpful. The only “negative” was that there were a lot of stairs to get to the cabin and a spiral staircase to go from floor to floor so if mobility is an issue then this cabin isn’t for you. I personally enjoyed the calf workout :) Overall 10/10, highly recommend!

Such a wonderful location! We were blessed with beautiful weather. We love the access to paddle boards and kayaks! Lots of stairs but made the drinks on the deck with the view of the lake so worth it!

Perfect spot for a getaway. Close to grocery store and seafood market. Plenty of room for vehicle and trailer. Private for a lake house. Not for anyone who has trouble with stairs but they were well lit. Would definitely stay again.

M My wife and I are both seniors so this review be read with that in mind. The scenery and lake views were spectacula Lots to don the water from the house dock area. The comfort of the furniture was ok at best. The interior spiral staircases were a challenge. That being said, the house is well equipped and for

Great spot if you’re looking for some peace and quiet in a remote spot. Lots of time for water activities. House is perfect.

Lovely home on the lake. Enjoyed listening to the loons and the daily fly-by of the Eagle. Had a great time swimming and canoeing. Wish we had brought our fishing poles. Was quiet and relaxing. Enjoyed easy day trips to Douglas Hill for hiking, Maine Wildlife Park, and Portland Art Museum. Enjoyed meals at Yolked, Bob's Seafood, and Rose's.

- You cannot drink the tap water since it is lake water. So, you must use bottled water (provided). - If you have any mobility issues, don't go. - There are lots of steps from the parking area to the house. 5 flights to the upper level of the house and 7 to water level. -There are 3 levels to the house, all connected by a spiral staircase. - There is no table to eat at. You can sit on the deck or eat at the coffee table. - The property isn't well kept. There are many items that are deteriorated or neglected. Bits of projects and yard tools scattered about. - There is a large scary pine tree next to the deck that is mostly rotted out. It will fall at some point and it leans right over the deck where you swim. - We ran into an unfortunate set of circumstances with a leaky propane stove and dealing with multiple outside vendors to get it fixed. In the end it was an annoyance and we didn't have a stove for 3.5 days. With all of that said, we had a nice week enjoying the deck and the location. There is was a canoe, three kayaks and two SUPs. We enjoyed swimming off the dock and generally enjoying each other’s company.
