This is the perfect unpretentious cottage for family fun with 100 feet of frontage on Little Sebago Lake! Enjoy a large lawn that leads to a sandy swimming area. Dock and small (10foot wide) boat ramp makes for easy access to this hidden cove. Cozy cottage has 2 private bedrooms but the ability to sleep ~8 (if you don't mind a snug fit!): 1st room has queen bed, 2nd room has 2 bunks (4 beds total), living room has 2 couches and 3-season-porch has sofa-bed. 2 crib mattresses are under the bunks in 2nd bedroom. Main bedroom overlooks the serene lake. Lower level family room has large comfy sofa, cable TV, half bathroom and washer/dryer. There is a blow up mattress in the laundry area. Family room leads to 3 season porch with French doors to the lake. There is a pull out sofa in the porch but please note: the porch has only supplemental heat (not good for winter/cold nights). Great flat yard for sports or cornhole. Stone patio with fire pit and a unique stone fireplace built in 1953. You can usually find plenty of water toys at the house, including 3 paddle boards, kayak, canoe, blow up boat, floats etc (please note: we can't guarantee availability of toys/outdoor accessories, ask if you're hoping for something specific!)!

For summer stays: we have 3 window ACs! Most people find this is plenty to keep cool.

Banjo Cove is known as Hidden Cove due to the hidden location from the lake - perfect for swimming or jumping off to the floating raft. There is also a basketball hoop in our driveway. Smith Road dead ends after our house making for a very peaceful, quiet neighborhood. Located just 6 miles from I-95 & a few mi from shops & restaurants in downtown N. Windham this could be the perfect lake location to avoid traffic & crowds - yet only 20 MIN FROM PORTLAND!

If you're considering a late fall/winter - you won't be disappointed with all of the things to do!

    Beautiful lake view and ideal location close to Portland but far enough away to feel peaceful. Main bedroom had a very comfortable bed and direct lake view. We enjoyed the amenities such as the canoe and fire pit. Our only suggestion would be to stock some basics: napkins, dish detergent, trash bags, etc.

    Unfortunately we weren't happy with our stay completely. The neighborhood is nice, neighbors are very pleasant and location was great to all the things we love to do in that area. The house is a decent size and the view from the master is pretty. Great spot for water activities like canoeing or paddle boarding. Melanie answered any questions and check in and out is very easy. We had a big issue with the sandy bottom swimming as there was sand underneath the many layers of years worth of old leaves algie and many branches/tree limbs. Not great to swim and very dangerous for kids. So my husband and I spent over 3 hrs wracking the pond to clear a safe and clean space for our children to swim. Then the dock you see in the pictures is also not out so my kids got board very quickly. Not much swimming. Last year we stayed at a place they swam all day every day. This is the main reason we pay to stay on the water. The house is cleaned ok. Personally you can see this just seems to be a rental property with alot of stuff and worn out stuff.

    My husband and I enjoyed our stay with our dog, Georgia. The neighborhood was quiet and neighbors were friendly. We spent much of our time in the back yard, playing with the dog and gazing at the water.

    This property checked every box we had for a relaxing vacation and we had absolutely no issues at all! It was our first time trying VRBO and Melanie was great! She answered all my questions in advance and was always kind and polite, the overall experience was great! We were lucky to have the perfect lake weather in late June and spent the whole time outside - I was especially happy we were allowed to use the paddle boards from the shed - saved me the headache of trying to find and carrying rentals around! When it got a bit cooler, we went out for a hike - there’s so many trails in the area, it’s very hard to choose one! We ate our weight in lobster (Captain Jack’s in Naples was a hit!) and we also loved the proximity to Portland. It’s one of our favorite cities in the US and we love spending time there too.All in all, a great vacation and experience. We hope our travel plans take us back in the area soon, we’d happily stay at Melanie’s house again!

    This cabin was a wonderful retreat for us and our little Morkie. Very nicely decorated and equipped with pretty much everything you could possibly need during your stay. Aside from just a few 'honey-do' upkeep items that need attention, it's an overall very well-kept and inviting

    We traveled up from Portland by car. easy to get access to. Good communication. Pretty place next to a portion of the larger lake. House is nice and cozy. Access to the water directly from the back. Good internet. Easy to use HVAC system (we needed heat, only. We did not make use of the available window AC units). Provided sheets and pillows are adequate. If you're driving in, consider bringing your own, but that is a preference and not a ding in any way. Recommended.

    We had one day of rain during our short visit, but took it as a day for just hanging out and relaxing. Our dog loved every minute of it. She got to sniff all the new sniffs. We met a couple of the neighbors; one was extremely nice, Bill. The bed was super comfy. Met the cleaning lady on the way out. She was very sweet and had beautiful blue eyes :-)

    We had a fantastic week staying at Melanie’s cabin on Little Sebago! The house has a great waterfront, on a protected cove that made paddling, fishing, swimming, and sitting on the dock so enjoyable. We met a number of the neighbors, who were all extremely friendly and welcoming. There is so much to do in the area, but the highlight was seeing the fireworks on the lake! The cabin had everything we needed for a great vacation!

    We had such a great week. This place offered everything we wanted. We had 4 teenagers and 2 adults. We spent most of our time fishing and swimming. We did bring our own canoe, paddle board, kayak and water floats. There are pine needles everywhere so we had to rake the yard and the water everyday. The dock was great for fishing and tying up our canoe. It was nice to have access to picnic tables and a gas grill (we did bring our own propane tank and had to take the grill apart to clean it before we could use it). The master bed was very comfortable but the bunk beds were not suitable for 4 teenagers so 2 of them slept down stairs on the couches. It was a hot week so the 3 air conditioners were necessary. The kids downstairs wished they had had a fan. The kitchen was well stocked and had what we needed. Minor inconvenience, I didn't know we needed to bring our own toilet paper, paper towels, dish soap, dishwasher detg until we ran out. We made several trips to the store which is only 10 min away so it worked out. Overall, this was one of the best family vacations we've had and we hope to be back next year.

    This was just the location and place I needed to attend a week long rug camp. I could bring my dog, enjoy the lake view and go exploring to local craft stores, thrift shops, restaurants etc. If more friends had joined me in the rental, it would have been very tight. there was really only one master bedroom, and the pull out couch had the typical bar in your back, the bunk bed room was not suitable for adults.
