Merrymeeting Lake Retreat | Dock + Kayaks

Wake up steps from the lake in your own private cove. Spend your days swimming, paddling, and grilling by the water, then gather around the fire as the sun sets. With two living rooms, a kid-favorite bunkroom, and a private dock stocked with boats, this lakefront retreat is designed for unforgettable time together. The space Picture this… you arrive at a quiet lakefront retreat, where the water sits just beyond the door and the pace of life immediately slows. The air is fresh, the trees surround you, and the lake becomes the backdrop to every moment of your stay. Mornings begin with coffee in the kitchen as sunlight reflects off the water, while kids head straight for the dock, towels in hand, ready to swim in the private roped-off sandy cove. Grab a paddleboard, kayak, or canoe and glide across the calm lake before the day even begins. Inside, the home is thoughtfully designed for both connection and comfort. Two separate living areas with lake views allow everyone to spread out—movie nights in one, quiet conversations or board games in the other. Cathedral ceilings and natural light create an easy, relaxed flow throughout the space. Afternoons are made for grilling by the water, exploring nearby wooded trails, or fishing right from the private dock. If work calls, fast WiFi and a dedicated workspace make it simple to stay connected without missing the view. As evening settles in, gather around the fire pit, watch the sky reflect on the lake, and unwind together. When it’s time to turn in, cozy bedrooms and a bunkroom just for the kids offer peaceful rest—ready for another perfect lake day tomorrow.
