Cottage in New Vineyard

Mainers call lake homes “camps,” but there is nothing “campy” about this 3-story house on 5 acres directly on Porter Lake. Swim all day long! Enjoy views of Saddleback Mountain from the private beach and dock; fish for trout or bass; or bring your boat and explore the island with its famous rope swing. Listen to the call of the loons, watch for bald eagles living on the island, and maybe if you’re lucky you’ll see a deer—or even a moose. Enjoy your stay at Sweetwater Cottage!
