Lakeside Lodge - 15 ft From Lake, Dock, Kayaks/Canoes/SUPs, Pet Friendly!

Welcome to Lakeside Lodge, where timeless rustic charm meets modern comfort in a picturesque lakeside setting.

Regardless of the season, Lakeside Lodge provides an idyllic backdrop for your getaway, whether you're an adventure seeker or simply looking to unwind.

Nestled just 15 feet from the pristine shores of Rangeley Lake, this updated rural Maine cabin offers a spacious retreat that can comfortably accommodate multiple families. Enjoy direct access to the lake, where you can rent a boat in town and conveniently pick up your crew from our private dock. If you have your own boat, launch it in town and keep it at our dock for your entire stay. Lakeside Lodge is also conveniently located just 2 minutes from the Mingo Springs Golf Course and offers easy access to the Appalachian Trail for abundant hiking opportunities.

For those looking to explore the charming town of Rangeley, it's a mere 5-minute drive away. Discover a variety of bars, restaurants, shops, and even a bowling alley with live music. Our lakeside haven ensures you'll have everything you need at your fingertips.

Inside the main house, you'll find cozy and well-appointed spaces, including two bedrooms upstairs, a fully equipped kitchen, a foosball table, and a TV area with a smart TV. Downstairs, an ensuite king master bedroom awaits, along with the versatile "4th bedroom" Den, featuring a Smart TV and an inflatable sofa bed with curtains for privacy. The fully equipped kitchen, complete with a dishwasher and microwave, ensures you can prepare delicious meals for the whole family. A washer and dryer on the main floor add to your convenience.

Entertainment options abound, from ping pong in the basement to foosball upstairs. For an added touch of nostalgia, enjoy the separate Bunk House, available from Labor Day to Columbus Day, with a queen bed, a twin bunk bed, a full bathroom, and a kitchenette.

Outside, you'll discover a wealth of amenities to enhance your lakeside experience, including a spacious dock for your boat (available from Memorial Day to Columbus Day), watercraft like kayaks, canoes, and stand-up paddleboards (available from Memorial Day to Columbus Day), and fishing gear for the angler in your group. Fire up the gas grill for lakeside barbecues, dine on the lake-view deck, or relax in multiple outdoor seating areas.

Gather around the lakeside fire pit, where firewood is included, and create cherished memories under the starry night sky. Lakeside Lodge promises an unforgettable retreat on the serene shores of Rangeley Lake, where timeless elegance and outdoor adventure await. Your lakeside escape begins here!

A few important notes before booking:

Summer rentals (July/August/First half of September) are week-long from Saturday to Saturday.

- The bunk house is not a 4 season abode, meaning that once it starts freezing at night we have to close and winterize it (no water or electricity and antifreeze in the toilets). This means that after Columbus Day (the beginning of October) to Memorial Day (the beginning of June) it is not available for your use. This means that the home only sleeps 9 from Columbus Day to Memorial Day.
Memorial Day to Columbus Day:
Accommodates: 13
Bathrooms: 3.5
Bedrooms: 5
Bed: 9
Rest of the year:
Accommodates: 9
Bathrooms: 2.5
Bedrooms: 4
Bed: 6

- The dock extension and the watercraft are also only available from Labor Day to Columbus Day.

- As a historic 150-year-old home in a rural setting, guests should anticipate some “old home” issues as well as encounters with local fauna, including bugs, rodents, deer, and the enchanting calls of loons. Additionally, please be prepared for occasional power outages and keep in mind that the region experiences frequent rainfall, but these are all part of the unique charm of Northern Maine :)

-This is not a party house; considerate behavior is expected out of respect for nearby and full-time resident neighbors who value their peace and quiet.

Nostalgic visit
We chose this home because our Grandparents owned this along with several cabins along Rangeley Lake in the 60’s. Although updates have been made, it was still reminiscent of the home we visited in the past. Owners were exceptionally responsive with questions. Loved it! Thank you!!

What a great spot!
We had a family reunion for a week. The lake is beautiful. The canoes and kayaks were great fun. The house itself was quite comfortable with fantastic views of the lake and surrounding hills. The Mingo Loop Golf Course is within a mile of the place and a fine course. Some great restaurants nearby as well. I hope to return next year!

yearly get together
The camp was very nice. Beautiful view of the lake from looking out of the huge windows. I had two problems. There was only four pieces of wood to burn for outside fires. The other problem was the remotes for the TV. It said there were two remotes for the bedroom but only one. Two for the den but only one. Four for upstairs but only three. Could only watch a few stations on ROCU. Could not connect to a satellite

THE BEST!!
This place was so lovely! It was perfect for our large group which included 6 kids. Lots of different hang out spaces, many games, large dining table and a big dock for the kids to jump off. It was well appointed with everything we needed for our week. We didn't have great weather but we didn't care. We still swam every day. It was beautiful and we can't wait to go back!

Incredible lake surroundings
This house offers the lake view which is ineffably vibrant. Besides the beautiful lake, this lodge is prefectly located in the Lakes and Mountains region with magnificent mountain ranges, glacial lakes, and waterfalls. We also appreciate the comfortable living, rustic design and many unique qualities that this house has to offer.

Perfect spot
We had two families of four in our party and this property was perfect. There was plenty of room in the main house and the additional space in the bunkhouse was fun for the kids to have their own space. On sunny days, we had a lot of fun with the kayaks, paddleboards, and we rented a water ski boat. On rainy days, we had the ping pong table, the foosball table, and plenty of room so we were not on top of each other. The town of Rangeley surpassed our expectations as well. There was a great grocery store, a good number of really good places to eat (Parkside & Main was a standout), and a really fun bowling alley/games/bar place (Moose Alley). All in all, we had a truly excellent vacation. We all agreed that we would rent here again.

Unforgettable memories!
My family & friends traveled to a different destination every year for the past 15+ yrs because we don’t want to have a “repeat vacation”. After staying at Lakeside lodge everyone said they would definitely repeat vaca here. This was the most relaxing vacation we ever had & we loved every minute of it! Words cannot express how overwhelmed we were by the beauty and peacefulness of this getaway. It was easy to put down the laptops, tablets, & cellphones in favor of the clean air & views. All the amenities kept all of us busy w/ some unforgettable memories, time well spent! Thank you Conor for letting us experience this & for being attentive w/ our stay. It was a sad time leaving, even the dogs miss it lol.

Perfect Spot
My family and I had a fantastic time. This was our second stay here.you can not beat the views in this house. It feels like you are on the lake from the moment you step in the kitchen. Hiked Bald mountain and had an incredible time with family and friends. One morning a bald eagle landed on the dock and ate a fish in front of me. Amazing!!! Perfect spot to enjoy Rangeley and the surrounding area.

The perfect lakeside retreat.
This is the first time I have rented through VRBO and was pleased with the entire experience. The owner of this property was quick to reply with any questions that I had before booking and check in. The rental was more than I had hoped for. I love how this cabin still had the charm of an old Maine camp but all of the updates needed for a comfortable stay. We celebrated our Thanksgiving meal on the large table overlooking Rangeley Lake through a wall of large windows. It could not have been more perfect. I would recommend this rental and owner highly and I am holding to rebook for next year.

A Sweet Spot!
My husband and I spent a wonderful week in this great, lakeside home. Even though the house was built a long time ago (that's why it sits so close to the lake), all the appliances large and small, and the televisions are new. The TV's receive all the channels, which was nice because we had one rainy day. The view from the front rooms is spectacular! The master bedroom bed was very comfortable. This was definitely not roughing it. Although we were there in October and the water was way too cold for swimming, there was no shortage of things to do in the area. We ran out of days before we ran out of things to do. We will be back in the summer next year for two weeks!

Beautiful House, Beautiful Setting
We rented the lakehouse for a week and found it to be an exceptional place to base out of for exploring on land and water the Lake Rangeley area. Sitting in the chairs in front of the picture windows gets you as close as you can be to the water without getting wet. The pier and dock were perfect, as were the main deck immediately outside the house and the sunning deck at the base of the pier. We hated to leave.

Unbeatable views
The best vacation our family has been on. We loved the home. It had a separate area with full bath and kitchen where my teenage kids stayed. Master bedroom is comfortable and quiet. The 2 king size beds were in the home were an extra bonus. Paddle boards, wood, kayaks, and canoe available made our trip so much easier to not have to rent those nor haul them up which we have done on previous vacations. The walking / hiking trail up the hill became a special spot for me in the mornings as I love to walk my dog. Right around the corner is a golf course with incredible views that my husband played on. My husband for the fist time was not anxious to leave....we have been on many vacations and he always wants to leave early. This time everything was just right!!!

Peaceful, comfortable, & great fun!
Thanks to Conor for a great getaway on Rangeley Lake! The property and the home are both so stunning. The view is great (facing S/SW for sunsets)). The living/dining room area is comfortable and open. The bedrooms are all clean and well-appointed. The kitchen had all we needed. With 5 boats + 2 paddleboards included in the rental, we knew all we had to do was get there and we'd have days of paddling and fishing ahead of us. Only heads up I'd give to prospective renters is that you can't tell from the photos how private the property is. The answer is pretty dang private. You do share the road with several other houses and some of those houses are closeby and in view of the rental, but it doesn't impede the experience at all. Hopefully you spend most of your time out on the water anyway, right?

This property was a great experience for the whole family. We would highly recommend it.
It is a beautiful property as close to the lake as you can get. If you want to use the kayaks, paddle boards, canoe, sit by the fire, hang out with friends and family or just relax with a good book, this is the place to be.
