Lakeside Living w\sandy beach, gas fireplace -easy 25 minute commute to Portland
Enjoy swimming, boating, ice skating or ice fishing but get outside to enjoy the large deck, lake and large yard. When inside the large windows will make you feel like you are still outside so you can enjoy the views while you get cozy by the fire or cook in the fully furnished kitchen. Get a great night sleep in a comfortable bed after enjoying a show on the SMART TV. Take a walk or run around the lake which is exactly a 5k or walk over to Libby Hill trails. We have a Hannaford, Chinese restaurant, and Gas Station with a deli and pizza within walking distance. Windham is only about a 12 minute drive with lots of restaurants, shopping, etc. One of our favorite places to visit is Pineland Farms which is only ten minutes away. They have a great market\cafe and offer farm tours and outdoor activities for all seasons. This is a 4 Unit Townhouse Style Property but Unit 1 is very large with a private deck and fire pit. 3 smaller units have friendly year round tenants that you may see occasionally in the large yard or beach and dock areas.

Beautiful view of Lake. Property justice pictured very clean and well supplied With dishes and all the essentials for great stay! Wish we could have stayed longer, but we will be back!!
Great place to getaway from the hustle and bustle but still be close enough to go to Portland and experience the seafood and dining. The place was very clean and the host was top notch. The listing photos are accurate and everyone was very friendly. Stay here you won't be disappointed.
Celebrated a family wedding at nearby venue. This was a beautiful, pet friendly condo with gorgeous view of the lake! There was traffic noise from the main road, but ample parking in site, as well as outdoor space with seating and dining.
The lake was nice not too busy, the host provided canoes, kayaks, and a small peddling boat. The view from the unit was beautiful and the pictures were accurate. The inside was very clean and kitchen was fully stocked had everything we needed
We loved eating at the long table overlooking the water, the views are spectacular. We watched birds and sunsets from the spacious deck, the dock seat, and second story balcony. Grilling and cooking were facilitated by a large, well equipped kitchen. Clean and modern bathrooms, comfortable beds, and so many household conveniences made our stay extraordinary. The many lake toys (kayaks, canoes, paddle boat, paddles and oars, life jackets) topped it off for a memorable vacation!
We rented this property to spend time with family for the month of July. The property is exactly as described. The few days that it didn’t rain, the kids enjoyed the beach area, and everyone enjoyed the sunsets! The home is spacious, and the kitchen is well stocked! Looking forward to returning in the future!
Our family and our dog had a great kick off to summer here at Joan's place on Crystal Lake. Our kids loved the kayaks and canoes, taking a run around the lake, and s'mores by the fire. Our family loved grilling on the large deck overlooking the lake. The neighbors were kind and Joan was a great host, even saving the day when our dog made a surprise early morning escape from his harness. Great experience!
We stayed for four nights with my parents, husband and 2 teens. It was the perfect place to enjoy the water, campfire, large outdoor deck for games and dinner. We brought our own paddlebaords but it was fun to try the peddle boat and canoe, I think they had kayaks as well. We spent most of the time on the lake and kids enjoyed jumping off the docks. Inside was clean and had all the basic amenities we needed from morning coffee to making dinner. The owner responded quickly when we needed her which was only during check in.
My wife and I spent a few days at Joan’s place after our wedding as a “mini-moon”. The property was super conveniently located and easy to find. The property is consistent with the pictures in the listing and includes a nice deck with a grill and a really nice stretch of grass/sand along the lake. We brought our dog with us and it was really fun to let him go swimming in the lake. We cooked a few of our meals at the property but also made a trip in to both Portland and Freeport for dinner. Bathrooms are nice, solid AC situation, living room has a nice long table for eating and playing cards. All in all a very nice stay!
We had a great stay at Joan’s property, and everything just *worked.* It was the least complicated and smoothest vacation house stay we have ever had. The security code to get in, the wifi, the TVs, everything was easy to use. There was nothing we needed that we didn’t have. The lake is beautiful, the kids had a blast, and there was lots to do in Gray and Windham. We even got to see a moose at the Maine Wildlife Park, which is just around the corner from this house. 10/10 stay here.
The property in Gray was very clean and has comfortable sleeping arrangements. Communication with the host was excellent and she was very accommodating. Beautiful views of the lake! We visited at a time when the water level was very low so we didn't get to do as many water activities as originally planned but we still had a blast. The fire pit and large deck are perfect for eating dinner alongside the lake or roasting s'mores at night. It is a multi-unit but it never felt like it. We hardly saw the neighbors and when we did, everyone was very friendly! The inside of the home was nearly sound proofed from the nearby street traffic and neighbors. The home is close to many nearby attractions and just a short drive to larger areas such as Freeport and Portland. Would recommend to anyone looking for a clean and comfortable place to stay on the water!
My family of three really enjoyed our stay! My 5 year old enjoyed playing with the different toys and puzzles at the house. Photos are accurate and the beds were very comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for making meals. My son liked having his own room and bathroom upstairs. We spent a lot of time outside and had several fires! Visited Pineland Farms (loved seeing the cows up close!) and the Maine Wildlife Park (1000 ft from the house). Also loved that it was dog friendly so our pup could join us for the weekend away!
My son said he had too much fun and wants to come back!
Nice place. Well stocked and clean. Open area very roomy for our stay.
Two problems:
Listed as two twin beds. One twin bed as a trundle bed. OK for us. Not for everyone.
Property is on a very busy street. Traffic noise may not be a problem for everyone, but it was for us.
My small nephews had a blast with swimming, paddleboat and canoe. Water warm and wonderful.
This place is really nice, just like the pictures. Very clean and comfy beds. The kayaks and paddle boat were great to be able to take out. The floating dock wasn’t out when we were there but might be since the water level was so low. There’s a public beach right around the corner with one though! We had fun fishing and swimming off the dock that’s there. Just a heads up the property is actually a multi unit, so you’re sharing the outdoor spaces with 2 other apartments. We hardly saw anyone but definitely kept our dog on her leash the whole time.
We had a lovely stay at Joan’s lakeside home. The place was roomy and exceptionally clean and very well stocked when it came to kitchen items, towels, games, etc… The grounds are expansive and the views of the lake are magical. We have family just down the road and the location could not have been better. We look forward to returning next year!
Check in process was clear and simple – much appreciated! The house was extremely bright, clean, and spacious. We loved the dock, fire pit, and use of the paddle boat.
