The town of Lovell, Maine, should be on everyone’s bucket list. Nine-mile long Kezar Lake runs the length of Lovell, north to south (“from Stoneham to Stow,” as they say). Lovell has a great low-key golf course, the Lake Kezar Country Club, with the first nine holes designed by renowned golf course architect Donald Ross back in the 1920’s. It has Ebenezer’s Pub and Restaurant, adjacent to the second hole, with outdoor seating, a screened in seating area, and a nice little pub. It has a few small markets with character, including Rosie’s with a breakfast/lunch counter and the Center Lovell Market for essentials. It has two town beaches you can paddle or drive to, including one with a stunning view of the lake and mountains. And it has local walking/hiking options for families, including the Greater Lovell Land Trust’s Chip Stockford Reserve, a short walk or bike ride down our dirt road, and Sabattus Mountain, a small hike with a big view. The charming Charlotte Hobbs Memorial Library is in Lovell Village, with two tennis courts and a children's playground behind it.
Numerous other big and small hiking options are within striking distance, ranging from easy walks into mountain waterfalls where you can swim, to 4,000 footers, to Mount Washington itself. The tallest mountain in the Northeast, Mount Washington also can be summited by car or cog railway.
This house is 25 minutes to Bridgton, which has a Hannaford supermarket, small shops and restaurants, Renys ("A Maine Adventure"), the Magic Lantern cinema, the Bridgton Twin Drive-In for a throwback experience, and Shawnee Peak Ski Area at Pleasant Mountain. It’s 20 minutes to Fryeburg, home to Maine’s Blue Ribbon Classic (the Fryeburg Fair) held the first week of October, Saco River canoeing, a section of the Mountain Division Rail Trail, a small supermarket, candlepin bowling for rainy days, a covered bridge and a cool little coffee shop (Fair Grounds Coffee). 35 minutes to North Conway, gateway to New Hampshire’s Mount Washington Valley, and home to many outlet stores. And 45 minutes to Bethel and Newry, home to Sunday River Ski Area.
We’ll leave a notebook for you with lots more unsolicited opinions about what there is to do. Not to mention some board games, puzzles and books to help you enjoy the simple peace and beauty of this special place.
Comfortable secluded home in the woods with an amazing lake view.
We were in Lovell for a fall wedding at a nearby farm venue. This wonderful house was a great home base for our prep, with hiking trails very nearby, leaves turning, the lake, comfy beds, and a tremendous collection of books including lots of AMC guides and Maine lore. Our host was very kind, offering early check-in and late checkout which reduced stress for our busy, DIY crew. We will love to come back when there is more time for plain old relaxation!
My wife and I had such a wonderful time staying here with our two dogs. The house was comfortable, clean, and charming; the location was quiet and serene; the views were beautiful. We had a great weekend hiking around. The host could not have been nicer or more attentive. We'd happily go back, thank you!
very nice place to relax

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at this comfortable home on Kezar Lake. We loved the large windows and the light, the deck with its view of the lake, and enough bedrooms for our group. Our host, Nancy, was very responsive to our questions and flexible with arrangements. We would definitely return again.
My family loved our stay. The kayaks were in great shape. The house was clean and comfortable. The only complaint is that it would have be a bit safer if there had been a railing on the front walkway (it was especially slippery because of all the rain). The lake is so beautiful, not too developed, and we saw many loons.
We rented this location for a weekend and it is everything you would expect from a lake house. Nice dock, great water, canoes/kayaks, and a very comfortable home. We would definitely stay here again.
Great little spot. Had 8 me friends there for a fishing weekend. Geographical location is nice because it’s equidistant to bridge and southern section of KL. House had plenty of bedrooms and nice deck. No fire pit but the setup gravitates you to the tv room as it’s quite spacious. Nice house . Would recommend!
My brothers, uncles, and cousin came up to ice fish in February. The house was exactly as advertised and we had an amazing stay. Nancy was great and the house is in a beautiful spot on a beautiful lake. We all hope to come back and enjoy the lake in the summer.
Great place! Looks like it would be a super place during the summer months as well!
We decided to make Thanksgiving more special this year so we rented a place by the lake for our family and it did not disappoint. I brought bowls, casseroles dishes and serving pieces from home to make sure we had everything we needed but as it ended up the home was very well stocked with dishes and accessories that I did not have to bring as much. The kitchen worked out well to cook such a large dinner as well as our other meals and the large dining room table worked perfectly for the six of us and it is big enough to seat a lot more. The only issue was my own in forgetting a couple of things at the house and when I called Nancy to tell her about this she could not have been nicer and she arranged to have the items dropped off near my home by a family member. We found the house to be roomy and cozy and an especially nice feature is the fact that each room has its own thermostat so everybody was happy with the temperatures in their own rooms. All and all we had a wonderful weekend of food, football and family time.
The home is lovely, comfortable and cozy. The setting is ideal for a quiet and relaxing time away.
We had a wonderful stay at this property. Nancy was so quick to respond with any questions I had right from my very first inquiry. . The house has everything you could need- we are a family of 8 and had plenty of room. We enjoyed grilling our dinner and eating on the deck and enjoying the nature around us. We spent most of our time on the water. Having access to all the water toys was amazing! This was my groups introduction to paddle boarding - and everyone loved it!! In the morning I would sit on the deck with my coffee and watch the Belted Kingfisher hunt for his breakfast. In the afternoon the Pileated Woodpeckers would come by and run up and down the pine trees. We do not fish but we did see people fishing and it looked like there was plenty of fish to catch! Sitting and watching all the wildlife around the lake was incredibly peaceful The location is perfect as well. When you are at the house- you are in the woods and away from everything- yet if you pop in the car you are a very short drive away from many attractions. We ate dinner at the Loons nest a few nights- it’s right down the end of the road and the food is great! We explored Norway and Bridgton and enjoyed all the local shops and cafes and we also went into New Hampshire to North Conway a few times as well. There are so many hiking trails in the area- far too many to explore in our one week. This was a great vacation- we would definitely come back here!
We (family of four) very much enjoyed our stay in this comfortable, lakeside home. It was clean, the kitchen had what we needed, and the dock was a great spot. The deck is spacious and having kayaks, a canoe, and paddle boards on the property was a big draw for us. We used all of those on the beautiful lake. We saw (and heard) loons daily and spotted a bald eagle many times while hanging out on the dock. If you are looking for a relaxing getaway, this is a great spot. Nancy checked in with us via email several times and was very responsive.
We stayed with our adult children and our dogs. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed. Owner was available and promptly responsive. Check in and out was a breeze. I wasn't sure how we would like staying on the narrows of the lake, but it was a great spot. No wake zone meant that it was quiet. Nice swimming. We used paddleboards and kayaks, and rented a boat from the nearby marina. DO get a fishing license...my son got a ticket while fishing off the dock.
This was an awesome find. The house had absolutely everything you'd need for a weekend away on the lake. We rented a pontoon at the marina and took it around the lake... gorgeous! So amazing the house comes with kayaks and paddle boards as well! Will definitely be back.
Used as home base to fish 5 local lakes. House was great and a perfect shock get away. Host was responsive and kind.
This is a perfect Kezar lake rental! The owner was extremely helpful and accommodating as we wanted to stay an extra night. Fishing was amazing as always and the house was very clean and comfortable.
My friends and I celebrated my 70th birthday here. My well behaved dog came along. The place was wonderful had everything we needed and the spot was beautiful!! We hiked the one mile loop and enjoyed the view. Just wish it was warm enough to take advantage of the water and kayaks. Would highly recommend this lovely lake house!!
