The lapping waters of China Lake, the stirring call of the loons - this is the soundtrack to your stay at this beautiful waterfront cabin in Central Maine. In this special spot mere steps from the lake's edge, you'll spend your days swimming, fishing, and taking out the provided canoe from your very own dock. You'll find this seasonal home on China Neck, the peninsula that sits in the heart of China Lake. The east-facing position makes the house a showcase of morning sunrises over the water, best enjoyed on the enclosed porch a mere 10 feet from the water's edge. Bring your family for a magical summer of watching eagles overhead from the hammock, barbecuing and picnicking among the trees, and roasting s'mores nightly around the outdoor firepit. Inside, you'll be treated to both atmosphere and comfort, including a well-equipped kitchen, a lakefront dining space, and a gas fireplace to curl up next to in the living room. Complimentary high-speed WiFi is even on hand to help you plan your daily adventures. Things to Know Check-in time: 4:00 p.m. Check-out time: 10:00 a.m. There is no washer/dryer.
