Listen for the loons or watch for the eagles off the expansive wrap around deck at this secluded getaway home in DownEast Maine with views of Schoodic Mountain and access to Flanders Pond, a fresh water paradise with swimming and fishing.
When you walk into this spacious lodge with pine walls and wildlife décor, you will feel the serenity.
In the spring, the brook is rippling and you can sit outside and enjoy the comforting sound of running water in the trickling stream. The summer is perfect for splashing in the clear waters, fishing off the dock or kayaking out to the small island. In the Fall, the scenery is spectacular. As you drive into the Lodge, you will see the trees in various shades. At the Lodge, you will enjoy the view of the vibrant colors from the spacious wrap around porch. In the winter, bring your gear for ice fishing or snowmobiling. It is a beautiful sight when everything is covered with a blanket of snow.
