Fryeburg, Maine
I am usually not interested in 2 night rentals during the high season (May-September) and holidays, but you are welcome to make an inquiry (sometimes I make exceptions based on scheduling and market conditions). It is at my discretion to determine number of days, so please check with me before you make solid plans with your group and put in a reservation.
Builder owned New timberframe/Post Beam Home located 2.5 miles down a wooded private road. Arguable the best White Mountain and Mount Washington view set on 1800 acre Mountain fed Kezar Pond.
Daily bald eagle, loon, wildlife sightings. Fantastic fishing from 300 feet of shoreline or from 3 kayaks (provided)(one double kayak) This is a pond that is the size of a large lake. Absolutely breathtaking and private, you'll think you died and went to heaven.
The Space:
I am a builder/real estate developer/Fine home renter in Newport, RI. when I first looked at land on Kezar Pond I thoughtit was the most beautiful place I have ever been to on earth (and I still do).
In 2010 I built this home with quality materials and furnishings. Quartersawn oak flooring, custom stone fireplace. Seating for 12 (10 guests allowed)in the kitchen dining room, living room with panaromic views from ever room in the house. Large deck with grill, completely outfitted kitchen, screened in porch and short path to firepit and beach.
House has 3 spacious bedrooms, a bunkroom with 6 beds, and a finished basement with pool table, shuffleboard table, additional bed and pull out couch. The bunkroom and basement utilize the 1st floor 1/2 bath and the outdoor shower. Masterbed and bath ensuite, and the 2 upstairs bedroom share a Jack and Jill style bath. Bunkroom and basement can conveniently use the upstairs bath.
There is no dock so beach and water entry is perfect for Kayaks, canoes, and swimming, but no LARGE powerboats. You will catch big fish if you know how to fish and you will see bald eagle (usually everyday) in the 100 foot pines on the property.
Please don't come stay at my home if you plan on disturbing any of the wildlife or beautiful nature you will see. You will find the home and setting fullfilling beyond your expectations.
Christophers lakeside home was the perfect getaway for our bicoastal and European family of 3 generations looking for time together. The home is more than a cabin, but has the warmth and coziness of a cabin. We loved the large gathering spaces around the fireplace and the dining table. There was plenty of room for 10 people. The kitchen was well stocked, making cooking for a crowd fun. The home has many unique hand-hued features that we enjoyed and admired. There were several kayaks and a canoe which were greatly enjoyed. I can't say enough about the location. Very private, yet a warm and comforting retreat. There were many attractions nearby, hiking and walking trails a short distance away, the Fryeburg Fair and many good restaurants. Christopher couldn't have been more welcoming and accommodating. It was a unique getaway for us and I would go again and stay longer.
Kids easy access to water very comfortable had a great time
This property is very unique beginning with the remote location and the beautiful pond it is on. So many beds and bathrooms including an outdoor shower. Open floorplan with huge table for family dinners and games. The screened porch and back deck provided many hours of relaxation. The kitchen was very well equipped for wonderful bonding experiences cooking together and celebrating my 80th birthday. Can't say enough nice things about the fun we had with the kayaks and floating in the pond. We picked blueberries and made pancakes and muffins as a bonus. Cooked steaks on the grill and lobsters in the huge pans. We all loved the pool table and shuffleboard table in lower level. The owner has thought of everything. Privacy was awesome. 10 stars for this property.
We had a lovely stay in this cozy home with six adults, three children and a dog. It's a well-loved home. Chris was communicative and helpful. We had plenty of snow, and the house is close to several different ski slopes - great for the children in our group.
We very much enjoyed our stay at this home. The host was very responsive and provided helpful tips to make our stay convenient and comfortable. The house is very large and well-equipped, and its setting on the lake is most beautiful. We enjoyed swimming and boating on the lake, and the various activities that the area has to offer (tubing on the Saco, mountain coaster at Cranmore, Storyland, bowling in Fryeburg). We also rented paddleboards and enjoyed paddling around the lake. The hummingbirds and bald eagle were daily visitors, and the sunsets over the lake are truly stunning! We also really appreciated that the house is dog-friendly as we love bringing our pup on vacation with us. He loved swimming in the lake as much as we did! The kids loved the bunk room, which is ideal for a family vacation! Only thing that I'll note is that there is no dishwasher in the kitchen - we saw that in other reviews so we were prepared, but it does make for a bit of extra work. But the attributes of this lovely house make it very much worth the stay. We hope to return next summer! Thanks for a great vacation!
Our crew had a magical time on Kezar Pond. So much fun to use kayaks and canoe provided, saw eagles every day, and spent hours cooking together in the super well equipped kitchen and leisurely dinners talking around big family friendly farm table. Awesome memories! Looking forward to returning.
Spent a week here with my family reconnecting after COVID. The house was as advertised, the owner was great to communicate with, and it was the perfect getaway.
This amazing property had EVERYTHING to make our multigenerational family week just perfect. Baby gates and cribs for the babies, kayaks, canoes and games galore for the kids and adults and wildlife for ALL! We caught huge fish and saw the resident bald eagle every day. The scenery was beautiful and the water quality is amazing. We had fires down by the water every afternoon/evening. The sunsets (and rises) were beautiful. This house had everything that we would ever want. Very comfortable beds, linens, stocked kitchen, grill, screened in porch and washer dryer. We also did day trips to the Cog Railway up Mount Washington and the Swift River/ Lower Falls slides. We had a wonderful family week!
Beautiful home, completely equipped and kid-friendly. The bunkroom and the screened porch were the grandkids' domains, and were perfect. The owner Chris was great - checked in with us and was very accessible when we had questions. The family fishermen highly recommend the fishing, both from canoe and off the rocks - success every time! One recommendation -- get your own directions ahead of time, your Maps app may take you on weird roads, especially coming from Massachusetts. Our route from Norway/Harrison was easy, but our guests picked the directions that were a bit wonky. Worth the drive, however, as our week was fabulous! Thank you, Chris!
Fantastic lodge in a great location! My family and I absolutely loved staying at this lodge. Chris was amazing with communications & accommodations . This home is fully equipped and is stunning with serene views. We loved the beach, lake, canoes, shuffleboard, pool table, & outdoor deck.
