Lakefront Retreat with Dock, Kayaks & Trail Access | Dexter, Maine

Welcome to your private 1.7-acre lakeside escape in the heart of Maine! Our spacious 1,900 sq ft home offers a relaxing getaway with direct lake access, seasonal dock and kayaks, and access to the ITS Rail Trail—perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, families, and couples alike.

Enjoy private waterfront access just a short walk down our gently sloping yard. Four single kayaks are available (seasonally) for exploring the lake—paddle over to Lakeshore Restaurant for a sweet treat or lunch on the water! Whether you're watching loons and ducks, soaking in the sun, or fishing (with a license), this peaceful lake is a perfect place to unwind.

* Relax & Recharge
Wake up with coffee on the deck as the sun rises, or wind down with a glass of wine at sunset. Listen to loons call, the breeze rustle the trees, and gaze up at a starlit sky. Enjoy evenings around the fire pit (BYO firewood from within the state of Maine) making s’mores and memories.

Inside, you’ll find roomy, comfortable living spaces, a full bathroom, and an additional shower—perfect for groups and families. High-speed WiFi lets you stay connected, or disconnect and enjoy nature at its best.

Summary: My family stays in Dexter twice a year to visit family. The place we have been staying for years is no longer available for short stays so we scrambled to find another place. This place was beyond perfect. Cozy, plenty of space, comfortable beds, and stocked with anything you may need. My husband and kids enjoyed the easy access to the snowmobile trail. Will definitely book again!
