Description

This location at Cathance Lake is truly spectacular - a genuine classic Downeast Maine lakefront setting. Spring fed, Cathance Lake is exceptionally clean, and considered one of the finest deep water lakes in Maine. Relatively undisturbed, and known for its substantial populations of loons and salmon, a substantial portion of the lake has protected *Forever Wild* status via an easement from the Nature Conservancy. The lake is located approximately 100 miles east of Bangor, Maine, - in the heart of the unspoiled Downeast Maine interior. It is an excellent base from which to explore the region. Quiet and secluded, the cabin has an unrestricted, and expansive view of the lake,. The cottage is located directly on the shore - the distance from the deck to the water is less than 4 feet ! Fall Foliage season (late September through mid-October.) is especially stunning. There are no other rental units on the property. Formerly used as a Maine canoe outfitting base for over 40 years, this historic property has now reverted to a small private compound. The property is 4 acres, with docks, wooded trails, a small camping area, garden, and several outdoor fireplaces. The property offers a rustic ambiance and atmosphere- dating back to the 1930's - that has attracted visitors to return for decades. There is a 35' floating dock in front of the cottage, with a platform and Adirondack bench. There is a second smaller dock, with a rocker - that has long been considered an 'icon' of Cathance Lake. The swimming - in spring fed water - is superb; there is a small protected shallow entry area directly in front of the camp. Known primarily as salmon lake, fishing for smallmouth bass is excellent in the summer months. The lake is over 3000 acres, with several distinct sections. Canoes are included with the rental. The Managers Cottage has three bedrooms, it is ideal for one or two couples or a small family. The cottage has all the modern facilities, is totally equipped for cooking - and was totally renovated several years ago. This rental offers a large private property - with plenty of room, and privacy, to relax and enjoy one of the finest settings in eastern Maine.

Visitor Reviews (2) Write a Review! "We had the pleasure of staying in the Manager's Cottage for 6 days in July 2021, with our senior dog. This all natural waterfront setting was perfect for fishing, swimming, relaxing and enjoying the sunrise that came up directly to the East of the front porch. What a beautiful, restful time we had enjoying the natural foliage along the shoreline, the lovely swim area leading to the deeper water in lovely, clean, spring-fed Lake Cathance. The canoe was close to the launch area, with two logs to slide the canoe right into the water making it easy for an older couple like us to handle. The cottage was comfortable with every item one would need to cook on the gas stove. There was a fire pit and grill to cook outdoors. There are 3 lovely bedrooms, but we only needed the king-size bed just off the kitchen. It was comfortable with plenty of lovely fresh air coming in from the two porches facing the lake. We paddled the lake for hours and enjoyed this time very much. Hope to return in 2022." Aug 25, 2021 - Della M. Greer "I had the pleasure of staying at the managers cabin for two icredibly too short weeks! Off grid enough but close enough to shopping if you need to get anything. I loved it there,Martin's lucky he was able to get me to leave at all. The sunrises and sunsets are amazing. The sky is a constant show of changing clouds tjat are a show of their own. The nights are peaceful and the stars are amazing. Build a nice fire and enjoy the night too,might see the Northern lights,keep that camera nearby,you'll want it,trust me!! I plan to visit again in 2018,bringing family to share my spot! Thank you Martin,see you soon!" Jan 10, 2018 - Deirdre Bisbee
