--- Enjoy Swimming, Water Sports and Fishing ---
Our cottage comes with a canoe, 2 kayaks, and 1 stand-up paddle board, ready for you to have fun on the water. You can swim off the dock -- the water depth is about 4 feet at the dock's edge, and quickly becomes deeper as you swim out. Because we are near the end of the lake, there are very few boaters and the lake is very quiet.
For fishing enthusiasts, Kennebec Lake has Large Mouth Bass, Small Mouth Bass, Northern Pike, and Pickerel.
For those who enjoy boating, there is a boat launch on Henderson Road, just 5 minutes away from the cottage.
--- Comfortable, Clean and Fully Stocked Cottage ---
This cottage offers a comfortable space that's perfect for relaxing with family and friends. Walk in to find a welcoming living room, timber beam ceilings, views of the lake, a wood stove for warmth and the beautiful character in the pine finishes throughout. It's the perfect spot to unwind after a day on the lake.
The kitchen is equipped with a full-size fridge, stove, and dishwasher, and all the dishes and cookware you'll need. After dinner, relax in front of a crackling fire in the living room or sit on the covered porch and take in the magnificent view of the night sky. On rainy days, watch a movie in the TV room (a selection of family and kids' movies provided), play a board game at the dining room table (several family and kids' games provided), or check out the art gallery and pottery studio in the nearby town of Arden.
When it's time to turn in for the night, choose from four spacious and cozy bedrooms inside the main cottage. Or, for a truly unique experience, camp out in the bunkie. With twin beds and a view of the lake, it's a little piece of paradise. It has its own little porch with a view toward the lake. It's the perfect place for kids and teens wanting their own space or a family member who wants the quiet of being away from others.
Kennebec Lake Lodge is a call to the beauty and tranquility of nature. It's a space designed and built with care, waiting to be filled with your laughter and stories. We welcome families who will treat this cottage as if it were their own.

--- Kennebec Lake ---
Kennebec Lake is a long narrow lake that is over 12 km long. It spans an area of over 5 square kilometers and has a shoreline stretching for 30 kms ? it's a pristine paradise for those who enjoy the great outdoors. The lake is dotted with many islands, bays and picturesque rock ridges. The northern shore of the lake and many sections of the south shore are undeveloped, giving the lake a natural park feel about it.
--- What makes this cottage special ---
The cottage is located at the end of the lake with very few neighbours in the area, giving it a remote feel. Other than the neighbor on one side, the surrounding landscape is largely natural. The view of the other side of the lake is the undisturbed natural landscape of the Canadian Boreal Forest.
A pond on the south side of the property hosted a local beaver and family of painted turtles last year. Depending on the time of year, you may hear the trill of frogs and singing of songbirds. You may also hear moose rutting in the fall, coyotes howling, and whippoorwills and other song birds singing in the spring, along with loon calls, quacking ducks and honking geese. Warning -- Rocky the red squirrel may try to drop a pine cone on you.
The cottage is new, and completed in 2024. It is made almost completely of solid white and red pine. (You'll notice some unpacked boxes in some of the photos -- these photos will be updated soon!)
On the outside grounds, the lot has the rugged beauty of broken rock and a mix of mature white pine and hardwood trees. On the inside, the natural beauty of the outdoors is brought in with the white pine timbers, log walls, and pine walls and floors. Whether you are inside or out, you are surrounded by something of natural beauty to appreciate.
