Come stay in our lovely lakeside cottage, built by Scott Bernard and Alan Williams, located on Parker Pond; a crystal clear, 1500-acre, deep water, quiet, limited-access lake. We call our retreat Amani, a Swahili word that means peace. If you love kayaking, secluded shorelines and beautiful hiking trails with breathtaking views, this is the place for you. Paddle the quiet shores, explore forested islands complete with campsites, picnic areas, and a recently restored, rustic cottage. Come in the fall for the most amazing autumn colors in central Maine, complete with vibrant red high bush blueberries along the shoreline. This lake is home to loons, bald eagles, trout, large and small-mouth bass. Best of all, this well-equipped cottage was custom-built in 2015, and is replete with rustic features, outstanding interior décor, comfy beds, two fireplaces and a spectacular lake view. Bring your boat (up to 19 ft) and use the private boat access, or just use our 3 kayaks and 12-foot aluminum row boat. Many breeds of dogs are welcome.

Spectacular fall getaway

We stayed 4-nights at Holly’s home and I wish we could have stayed longer. The home itself is so warm and welcoming, and architecturally gorgeous. Our first day we had the remnants of a tropical storm and sitting on the screened porch with a cup of coffee, my knitting -listening to the rain on the pond, the loons in the distance, and the smells of the fall air could not have been a better start. The storm cleared and we kayaked, used the outdoor fire pit, hiked at Vaughn woods in Hallowell, picked apples at the apple shed, played games, enjoyed morning coffee on the end of the dock and just really relaxed. It was a beautiful time of year to be in Maine and I would highly recommend a visit to Holly’s home. We hope to be able to stay again. We have rented a lot of homes on VRBO and this was one of our favorites. We all came home feeling so rested and rejuvenated! Thank you Holly for sharing your home!

Amazing experience

Beautiful house- I felt at home the moment I stepped through the door. Fully equipped kitchen, everything you could need on a vacation. Lake views were amazing. Neighbors were fantastic. Owners were super easy to contact. I will be returning in a few months.

A hidden gem!

What an absolute treat it was to stay at this beautiful and cozy cottage on the lake! The photos on VRBO truly don’t do it a justice, it’s just stunning! You have provided us with everything we could have possibly needed to kick back and enjoy quality time together as a family. This cottage will always hold a special place in our hearts. Enjoying a rainstorm while drinking a hot cup of coffee with the love of my life on the beautiful screened in porch. Watching the sunrise together on the dock. Roasting marshmallows over a bonfire. Watching our kids fishing off the dock and playing. Watching beautiful golden falling leaves fall all around us like confetti. Kayaking on the lake. Hiking the trails. This was our first time to Maine and it definitely will not be our last! We really enjoyed exploring the area. We went into Portland one day and visited tons of shops. We went apple picking at the adorable Apple Shed Farm. We relaxed and squeezed in as much family time in as possible. Thank you for sharing this little slice of heaven with us Holly. We’ll be back!
