About this property

Luxurious lakefront home, now booking for Summer 2024

Maison du Lac, located on picturesque Beaucaire Avenue, sits on a quiet, sunny section of magnificent Megunticook Lake. You can swim, boat or fish immediately off your own dock.

In winter, the house becomes a cozy ski cabin located only minutes from the Camden Snow Bowl. The house has a back-up generator in the event of power outages and sits peacefully on the waters edge surrounded only by nature.

The all-wood post and beam interior enjoys lake views from every room. A ground floor to rooftop fieldstone fireplace graces the living area and master bedroom. Relax in a luxurious, leather LLBean Lodge sofa or armchair after a fun day in or on the water, hiking up Maiden's Cliff, strolling through town along the harbor, or sailing on an historic windjammer out on Penobscot Bay, or a day of downhill skiing.

Maison du Lac was completely rebuilt in 2007 and is clean, fresh and modern, while maintaining the cozy charm of a lakefront cabin. The house is southwest facing and enjoys spectacular sunsets.

The property is only three miles from oceanfront downtown Camden and its many restaurants, shops, and attractions.

The location on Megunticook Lake is ideal, in a no-wake zone for boats, so swimming, kayaking or canoeing is safe and calm, and Beaucaire Avenue itself is a quiet, leafy road ideal for walking, biking or jogging. For enthusiastic boaters you have 1300 +/- acres of lake outside the no wake zone for high speed boating/tubing or waterskiing.

In winter, there is only the the lake, trees and nature as far as the eye can see, and the lake is transformed to a winter wonderland of outstanding beauty, ideal for cross country skiing, ice skating or ice fishing.

Megunticook lake is one of the finest lakes in the region with a maximum depth in places of up to 70 feet which keeps the water cool and fresh all summer long, and there is no problem with grass or weeds which plague many of the nearby smaller water bodies.

Ideally situated in the Mid-Coast region, neighboring towns such as Belfast, Rockport and Rockland also offer a thriving food, art, and shopping scene which, coupled with the area’s vast array of sporting and outdoor adventure opportunities, including fresh and salt water boating and swimming, fishing, island hopping, mountain hiking and biking, walking and so on make the region a superb vacation destination.

Maison did Lac is ideally situated in the midst of all that the area offers, and if you can bear to leave the lake at all you will have much choice of how to spend your time.

Included in your rental are all linens and towels, including swim towels. Post Covid all bedding is professionally laundered and wrapped. The house is comfortably stocked with essentials including soaps and detergents, toilet paper, paper towels, spices and various pantry items.

Inside are two flat screen Samsung TVs, 55” and 65”, high speed internet, Edifier blue tooth speakers, many books, board games, and a tuned piano for entertainment. All bedrooms now have window air conditioning installed.

We look forward to hosting you Summer 2024!

Waterfront Bliss
The waterfront cabin is perfect for a family getaway. Close to town, the harbor, outstanding local restaurants and beautiful sites. It served as a great home base but also a serene location for kayaking, fishing, swimming and reading. Beautiful views of the lake from all rooms. The kitchen and large tables were perfect for family dinners, puzzles and game nights. The hosts were available and ensured we had a great stay!

About the host

Hosted by Jim & Jennifer Wickenden

Host profile image
Jim and Jennifer grew up in Camden. Jennifer is a 5th generation Mainer with many decades of family presence in the area, and both have developed a depth and breadth of knowledge of the community and environs, with access to some the finest property locations in the mid-coast area. Jim worked as a corporate lawyer for 25 years in Europe and Asia, before returning to Maine as a general practitioner, and together they have combined their knowledge and resources into a portfolio of beautiful homes concentrated in the mid-coast area of Maine, where they both are passionate about the land, the water and the outdoors.

Why they chose this property

Quiet location, spectacular views, sunsets, excellent swimming right off dock. Beautifully finished interior with lots of cozy spaces! Megunticook Lake stands out from other lakes in the region not only because of its close location to the coast, but in its size and depth.

What makes this property unique

A beautiful lakefront setting only three miles from the restaurants, shops, and ocean activities in Camden, Maine, this house is well located in a highly desirable section of Megunticook Lake. The property is situated off a quiet, leafy road, away from the noisy, busy traffic of Route 52.
