Welcome to “Hoot Mon” Lake House! Hoot Mon Lake House is located in North Windham, Maine, an easy 30 minute drive from Portland International Jetport (PWM) and about 2 hours and 15 minutes north of Boston. Four generations of our family have spent countless summer days lounging on the beach, playing in the water and enjoying the incredible sunsets here on Sebago Basin. The Basin is a smaller outlet of Sebago Lake (connected to the larger lake by a boat-friendly passage under a bridge.) The lake is dotted with islands at the south end and home to many loons and painted turtles. Our lake house is at the end of a small lane and about ten steps from the beach. Our road is a dead end with other camps on it and is therefore a quiet and neighborly little community.

Hoot Mon has three floors and two full bathrooms. There are two private bedrooms. The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and an in-suite full bathroom with a stand up shower. The downstairs bedroom has a double bed and access to the second full bathroom (also with a stand up shower) through a large walk in closet. There is also a queen-sized pull-out couch upstairs. Both bedrooms have closets and dressers for your use.

The kitchen is part of an open floor plan and flows into the dining/living space with tons of windows and a panoramic view of the lake. The view is spectacular! The basement is a perfect place to hang in the evening, play a game, watch a movie, do a puzzle and relax! “Charlie’s pub” (named for our grandfather who built the house) is the main attraction down in the basement. There is also a utility room in the back with a washer/drier you are welcome to use.

Outside, the private neighborhood beach is just a few steps away. We have beach chairs and towels for your use! We also have a picnic table and grill outside so your family can enjoy the beautiful Maine evenings. There is also a small porch on the front of the house, facing the lake, which is the perfect place to enjoy a relaxing evening and watch the sunset.

North Windham has lots of shopping and eating options, including Hannaford’s, Shaw’s and Walmart, which are all one mile up the street. There are many family fun activities in town as well! On Saturdays there is a farmers market in town and we are happy to recommend spots for eating and ordering takeout - whether you are looking for something close by or are up for more of an adventure, we have lots of favorite spots!

Cleaning procedures are in accordance with CDCs guidelines (you’ll receive a welcome letter when you book which outlines our cleaning procedures.) We’re simplifying the dishes & supplies in the kitchen. There will still be enough dishes for cooking & eating, however this means that if you want to use spices & oils etc for cooking you’ll have to provide that for yourself.

    This was our third stay and we continue to feel like we are at home. While close to shopping and restaurants, the property is set away and quiet.

    Wonderful time staying in the Sebago Basin lake house. House is fantastic and the community beach is steps away and tremendous fun for our 6yo. She was able to play with other kids who shared the beach and we all had a great time. The basin is protected from some of the larger waves on main Sebago and the water is warm as well. Notable also, is that the location is private but just a short ways from main town with plenty of options there as well. Wonderful week vacation.

    This cottage is perfect for two, but can accommodate up to six. Steps from the beach. Easy to launch a kayak. Good appliances. The driveway only accommodates two cars and there is no on street parking. Five minute drive to all shopping. We would come again

    This is our second year at this rental. However, we previously stayed at multiple other rentals within a small area at the same beach. This is our favorite rental for our small, multi-generational family. The location, property, beach, amenities, communication and check-in/out are all great.

    Everything was very nice at “Hoot Mon” cottage. The cottage was very clean and comfortable and it was great to have the beach outside our door. There are lots of good restaurants nearby and many things to do, kayaking, mini golf and a drive in movie.

    Clean and enough room for all guests. Beautiful lake views, really nice beach steps away. We brought our kayaks and there was a perfect place to launch right by the cottage. Was nice to have a washer dryer. Being really close to town was convenient, yet the setting was peaceful. There were a several cottages right near us, but still felt quiet and relaxing.

    The lake house, affectionately known as Hoot Man, is located on a private road, and a private beach shared by a small, friendly and well kept neighborhood. There are beautiful views of the sunset over the Sebago Lake Basin, and a peaceful quiet punctuated by the calls of the loons skimming the lake water. The house is very cozy and clean. The mini splits in the bedrooms and living room keep the cottage comfortable. Everything is in good working order, the internet is fast for remote work, and there are plenty of games for rainy days. The only thing that would have made the stay even better, would have been kayaks on the property. Casey was a great host and responded quickly to our questions!
