Downeast Lakefront Cottage – Robbinston, Maine

Situated on 200 feet of Howard Lake shoreline,
this fully furnished cottage connects you to the wild and tranquil duality of
nature in Washington County, Maine. Sightings of deer, loons, eagles, and even
moose are common while the calming, panoramic vista of water and woods ensures
your immersion in privacy and peace.

When entering this solid, well-built home,
your eyes are drawn to the view of the lake from a sun-filled sitting room,
inviting you to grab a book while lounging on the daybed. The first floor
open-concept layout includes a living area, dining room, and fully equipped
kitchen. On cooler evenings, take the chill out of your bones with the Vermont
Castings direct-vent propane stove with the quick flip of a switch! Snuggle up
on the water-side deck while watching the sunset in the evenings, and come back
out in the morning to sip coffee and watch the sunrise. For ease of living,
there’s a bedroom on the ground level directly across from a full bathroom (or
move the washer/dryer in for a spacious utility room!). On the second level, a
partial bath divides the spacious master bedroom (with walk-in closet) from yet
another bedroom/home office.

Outside, pine trees and native plants surround
a gazebo on the water’s edge. Gardeners will appreciate the outdoor sink and
substantial hillside garden plots. Two outbuildings provide extra storage space
for your outdoor toys (canoes, kayaks, snowmobiles) or convert it into
additional sleeping quarters. The dark, clear evening sky is excellent for star
gazing over the lake. The principal fishery in Howard Lake is small mouthed
bass, brook trout, and pickerel.

Robbinston Maine is located just 20 minutes to
the border town of Calais where you will find all of the amenities you might
want or need. There are several grocery stores, a major big-box store, dollar
store, hospital, restaurants, community college, and two international boarding
stations for entry into Canada. The area is replete with natural beauty and
history. During the mid-19th century, Robbinston was a last stop for the
Underground Railroad due to its proximity to Canada. Come spend some downtime
here; you’ll want to stay!
