Knickerbocker Lake Retreat

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Tranquility awaits at this beautiful home, located steps from deeded access to Knickerbocker Lake and a mile and a half to the Maine Botanical Gardens. A three-acre manicured property and upscale interior are yours to enjoy. Wander the lush gardens, explore the woods, or relax by the garden-side firepit. The spacious deck has everything needed for sunset cookouts.

Four can share morning coffee at the butcher block kitchen bar. Then, settle in on the comfy sectional and screen a new film on the TV in the sun-soaked Great room, a social space with cathedral ceilings and a gas fireplace. Downstairs, the den is stocked with books and games. Comfy furniture, a desk, and a table offer plenty of space to socialize or read. A second living room is ideal for fun-filled game nights with a pool table, foosball, and ping-pong.

Fine tile work, granite countertops, and a full suite of stainless steel appliances line the high-end kitchen. Thanks to a gas range and a roomy French-door fridge, meal preparation is a breeze. Enjoy festive meals in the eight-person dining room when your recipes are ready.

Choose between relaxing on the quiet screened porch or unwinding on the covered front porch in the evenings.

Blissful in Boothbay
Nice house in quiet location. Great kitchen!! Master bed was comfy except sheets should be replaced. The house is large with a huge finished basement. The TV in the basement was OK. The basement sofa is comfy but the primary sofa upstairs was uncomfortable. All in all... a very good property that could be great with better bed sheets and living room sofa.

Outstanding Getaway House!!
We had a great time with our adult kids. The layout of the house gave us plenty of room and bathrooms. The beds were comfotable. We loved the kitchen family room with a gas fireplace and area to connect and hang out while eating and playing cards. The game room was a perfect place to gather and play pool, foosball and ping pong. Loved the outside, we had a fire one night, it was great to gather and look at the stars on a crisp cold night. We found hiking trails close by. Unfotunately, Boothbay shops were closed forthe week as they are getting ready for Christmas. I guess we will nerd to head back!

Family retreat in Boothbay
We had a wonderful time at this home. The bedroom situation was perfect for us - owners suite, two bedrooms next to each of for the family with young kids and a downstairs bedroom for a single with a dog. There was so much room to spread out for different activities. Private location with Knickerbocker Lake access with a dock. We stayed during a heat wave and we were very comfortable. The screened porch was a favorite place for the adults. Everyone wants to go back again next year.

Perfect weekend! Great location!
The house was absolutely gorgeous, clean and spacious. Our family had a wonderful time! My only bugaboo was that we wanted to use the firepit in the backyard, but the area was rusty and a little overgrown with weeds, so we didn’t feel comfortable using that amenity.

House is NOT on the lake
House was very nice and comfortable for our group of 6 adults. We enjoyed having our pet join us for the stay. House layout was awesome; house was very clean and well kept. My draw to the property was the on line description of "woodland hideaway on the lake". This was a stretch to say the least. It was a walk to the lake and NO lake/water view. The other thing to note was that we were not able to enjoy the firepit. The ticks in the yard were incredible. Overall....a very nice weekend. Management group was terrific and highly responsive.
