Please inquire with the host for weekend availability and the guest cabin add-on for groups <10. Fully-furnished kitchen with propane appliances. Propane lights throughout the house or flip a switch for electric lights (Kohler generator). On-demand hot water, propane monitor, wood stove, recessed lighting, charcoal grill, large stone fire pit, picnic table, and outdoor seating. Unplug and unwind with a library of books, boardgames, and cribbage (Aroostook County favorite). Bring the whole family - friendly, well-behaved dogs welcome - and don't forget the kids' bikes. Children and off-leash dogs roam freely on this safe and private dead-end dirt road. Plenty of parking to trailer your ATV, side-by-side, or boat. Canoes, kayaks and paddle boards can easily be launched and stored lakefront at the lake house and guest cabin. Mattawamkeag Lake, Pleasant Pond, and Va Jo Wa golf course are less than 25 minutes away in historic Island Falls. There is no WiFi (or TV) at the lake house and cell reception is limited. Feel free to spread out into the guest cabin yard and gather dead wood and fallen branches for firewood across the road (part of the lake house property). Skitacook Lake hosts resident loons, wild rabbits, turtles, and the occasional moose. There are only a couple dozen camps on this secluded lake, truly a hidden gem. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 5 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Shampoo - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room - Wood stove ### Entertainment - Books - Games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Charcoal grill - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 3 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Location highlights - In a rural location - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Water sports equipment - Birdwatching nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Swimming nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - At least 80% lighting from LEDs - Double-glazed windows - Garden - Recycling - Unit size: 1,150 square feet - Water-efficient showers - Water-efficient toilets ## Similar properties ![Microwave, oven, stovetop, dishwasher](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/112000000/111460000/111451000/111450910/9ec0b530.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Nickerson Lake Cedar Log Home Linneus - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly - Air conditioning 10 Exceptional 6 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=111450910&PinnedHotelID=111450910&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Private kitchen](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105960000/105956400/105956301/670d00c2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Lake House Oakfield - Pet-friendly 10 Exceptional 4 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-10-24&endDate=2025-10-25&selected=105956301&PinnedHotelID=105956301&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fireplace, books](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33510000/33504300/33504283/6b7680ac.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Authentic Northern Maine Lakeside Retreat.

I couldn't say enough wonderful things about our stay at this property and we are already thinking of when to plan our next trip. You can tell the host and their family think of everything when it comes to their home. We had the lake to ourselves during the week. We felt very welcomed and talked to the friendly neighbors when they happened by. Our dog and our toddler couldn't stay out of the water. We were remote, private, heard the loons, and saw the stars. We left feeling very thankful to Michelle and her family for sharing their oasis with us for a few days, they are truly lucky to have this wonderful place. ##### Casey S. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey H. Aug 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Perfect Maine Lakehouse This was the best lakehouse my family has ever stayed at. It was quiet, comfortable, there was a dock to swim off, a raft to swim to, it was private, it hit all the best amenities of staying at a lake. My kids want to live there now (9 and 11 years old). It was really clean, had everything (I mean everything) you need to stay there. We ended up staying an extra night. The communication was very good. Everything was made easy for us. It's close to a few small grocery stores and pizza places, and is a little over an hour the the northern part of Baxter State Park. We went hiking and canoeing there one day during our stay. We could not have stayed at a better place. ##### Jeffrey H.
