This custom log retreat on Kennebec Lake blends rustic charm with thoughtful amenities to make your family vacation feel easy, memorable, and actually relaxing.
Designed With Families in Mind and Upscale Touches Adults Will Love. Our goal is to make your vacation feel effortless, from the moment you arrive to the moment you head home. Unlike most cottage rentals that ask you to bring everything but the kitchen sink, we've stocked Blue Heron Hideaway with nearly all the essentials: towels, bedding, pillows, paper products, kitchen basics, and more. You won't find bug spray or sunscreen, and pantry staples like spices or sugar aren't guaranteed, but they might be here. As many guests say, I'm the hostess with the mostest because I try to think of everything, so your only job is to pack your personal items, favourite comforts, and a bit of food. No stress. No overstuffed car. No mountain of laundry when you get home. Just a relaxing, well-equipped escape.
Highlights: Private waterfront with shallow-entry, crystal-clear swimming, perfect for little ones. Includes 4 sun loungers, beach toys, swim floats, and space to splash or unwind.
Open-concept great room with soaring ceilings and expansive lake views- room for everyone to gather without feeling crowded. Private dock for kayaking, canoeing, fishing, or sipping coffee at sunrise (boats included). Have your own boat? Great! The launch is just around the corner. Spacious yard with mature trees- bask in the sun with loads of space for lawn games or find some shade for a nap. And don't forget stargazing around the fire pit. Large covered deck with comfortable seating and a propane BBQ- perfect for effortless outdoor meals, rain or shine. High-speed Wi-Fi and family-friendly conveniences to make the logistics easier and let you focus on fun. Oversized bedrooms with blackout curtains and comfy beds for real sleep- because everyone needs rest, especially parents.
Who Its For: Families who want safe swimming, room to roam, and less stress while on vacation. Couples with kids looking to carve out peaceful moments once the little ones are asleep. Two-family or multi-gen groups (sleeps 6-8, Max 4 adults) seeking connection in a warm, welcoming space. Remote workers or nature lovers craving serenity, beauty, and all the comforts of home.
So Many Activities at Your Fingertips The EOTA ATV trail is just 5 km away. Kennebec Wilderness Trails and the lake's public boat launch are only minutes from the property. Surrounded by charming small towns (like Northbrook and Sharbot Lake) offering unique events, local shops, great restaurants, and all the essentials you may need during your stay.

Bringing Your Pup? We Get It.
We know pets are family and between the cost of boarding and the guilt of leaving them behind, it?s not always ideal. That's why we're happy to accommodate well-behaved dogs at Blue Heron Hideaway.
Our space is a great fit for furry companions: Plenty of distance between neighbors A large yard for off-leash play (under supervision) Easy, walk-in access to the lake for a swim or paddle
To ensure a comfortable stay for all guests, we ask that pet owners agree to a few simple rules before booking. A pet fee applies to cover additional cleaning.
Guest Access:
Step inside and feel instantly at home in this comfortably designed log cabin. The open-concept living, dining, and kitchen space is bright and inviting, centered around a soaring stone fireplace and massive windows that frame the lake. The fully equipped kitchen features full-size appliances, cookware, and everything you need to prepare family feasts or cozy dinners for two.
Guests have full, private access to the entire cabin and all outdoor spaces between the driveway and the lake- including the fire pit, yard, beach area, private dock, deck, and all provided amenities.
Check-in is simple and secure with a unique keyless entry code generated just for your stay.
Please note: The largest outbuilding (used for owner storage) and basement crawl space are not accessible to guests. For safety and property protection, the front of the property (facing the driveway) is monitored by 2 exterior security cameras. There is one camera on the lakeside, which will always be turned off during your stay. No cameras will be monitoring the sides of the cabin, or any interior areas, ensuring full guest privacy.
Interaction With Guests:
I want you to feel at home and as though our place is yours. I will endeavour to have things be intuitive, easy to find, easy to operate and fully stocked. That said, if you need help with anything, or if anything isn't meeting your expectations, absolutely reach out to me.
Aside from that, I may need to stop by the property to mow the lawn, if weather or circumstances prevent me from doing so before you arrive. However, before I do that, I would message you to give you a heads up and make sure the timing works for you. My husband Chris, may also be participating in these types of services. Our goal is to make your stay more comfortable.
