Beautifully unique! The family home of war journalist, international photographer and adventuring family; this camp blends rural Maine with international adventure. Rustic yet comfortable; 100+ year old hunting lodge steeped in history. This beautiful year-round camp is one of the largest & most well-preserved on the lake. Don't be surprised to hear the call of loons - a prehistoric bird - spot a bald eagle, beaver, chipmunk, flying squirrel or Great Eared owl or even a Moose! BOATHOUSE FOR AN ADDITIONAL 5 GUESTS! One of only two boathouses on the water (summer only - on request only - extra fee - ask for more details) Camp Liberty (12 People) is 50ft from the lake with 300ft of private lakefront, lawn garden and 56 acres of private woodland. The beautiful lake is the focus of the camp. A large lower deck has hammock, chairs and a spacious outdoor dining area for 12+ people with BBQ. Upstairs a slightly smaller private space for two lake-facing queen bedrooms. All guests can enjoy stunning sunrises straight across the water to the south east. Behind the camp there is a third deck which is a real sun-trap in the afternoon for those long summer days. Docks in front of the camps give easy access to the lake for swimming and mooring boats and in the fire pit by the lake you can toast marshmallows. Note: docks go in June and are out in Oct. This camp is not suitable for old/ infirm guests. 5 BEDROOMS - SLEEPING 12 Oriental Room (Queen bed, upstairs balcony, ensuite loo + bath) English Room (Queen bed, upstairs balcony, ensuite loo + bath) Maine Room (King bed, ensuite loo + bath) Study Room (Queen bed, door to lower balcony, next to loo and shower) Bunk Room: (4 single beds, next to loo and shower).

SELF CHECK IN (1700) /OUT (0900) INTERNAL ACCESS: The basement and certain cupboards are off-limits. Please don't force any locked cupboards - they are locked for a reason! :) We like to leave you to it, but some things need maintaining, so the manager will pop by during the week NEIGHBOURS: We are on the quieter end of the lake but have neighbours on either side a short walk through the woods. LOCAL TOWN: Farmington is a 10 - 15 minute drive away. It has supermarkets, boutique shops, restaurants, craft brewery, a cinema, (inc. drive-in in summer) and even an escape room and bowling alley. SUGARLOAF: 40 min drive north. BELGRADE LAKES: 25 min drive south east AUGUSTA: Airport 50 min drive, Concord Bus 40 min drive PORTLAND: Airport 1.45hr drive There's no public transport but there are local taxis. Most vehicles will be fine for most of the year, but in spring it can get a little muddy and road conditions can change quickly. The driveway can be slippery / snowy in winter months so make sure you have appropriate footwear and vehicles. It helps to have a strong vehicle like a 4x4 or AWD for both these seasons. If the weather has been bad, there can be some considerable pot holes. IMPORTANT INFORMATION!! COVID-19 UPDATE: We are dedicating more hours to cleaning the property between rentals. We have updated our check-in (1700) and check-out (0900) times accordingly. The camp is large and takes a long time to prepare to be in line with Airbnb's requirements. NO WIFI and LIMITED RECEPTION: We accept this is not for all but we love the ability to switch off and guest often comment on how it brings families closer! Clearly some have no option but to stay connected but will need to provide their own means. With some providers there is reception, but it can be poor (US Cellulare and AT&T are reliable for hotspot with lakeside porches best). 1 SHOWER: There is only one shower in the property, on the ground floor. The upstairs bedrooms all have ensuite with baths! This camp is not suitable for old/ infirm guests. WILDLIFE: The Camp is in the middle of the woods in rural Maine! Don't be surprised if you see the odd squirrel, birds or mouse on the decking. If windows and doors are left open animals can get in the camp!! PETS: We love animals however not everyone does and some have allergies. Pets are available ON REQUEST ONLY - we ask for an extra $50 cleaning fee to ensure housekeeping spend extra time making the camp ready for the next guests. This is charged separately.
