COMMUNITY VIBE
We are proud to be part of the peaceful, historic Lakewood Community. To keep our neighborhood serene, this home has limited parking and is best suited for quiet family retreats. No large parties or disruptive gatherings are permitted.

DOG POLICY
Pets are considered on a case by case basis. Please message us with the number and breed of your dogs. A signed pet release form and a one time non-refundable pet fee of $150 apply.

WATER SAFETY
Maine law requires a properly fitted, USCG-approved life jacket for everyone on board a watercraft. Children under 10 must wear them at all times. We provide an assortment of life jackets and a required kayak liability release form prior to your arrival.

WEATHER & TRAVEL INSURANCE
Maine weather can be unpredictable year-round. Because we cannot control the elements or provide refunds for weather-related disruptions or power outages, we strongly encourage purchasing travel insurance at checkout to protect your trip investments.

BUGS & THE MAINE WOODS
Lakewood Haus is nestled in a beautiful, natural lakeside community surrounded by trees and water. Being immersed in nature means you will likely encounter some of Maine’s local wildlife, including squirrels, chipmunks, loons, and—yes—bugs!

Depending on the season, mosquitoes, blackflies, "no-see-ums," and lake midges are a normal part of the outdoor experience. We recommend bringing your favorite bug spray, keeping the cottage doors and window screens closed, and embracing the authentic lake life vibe.

EXTERIOR CAMERAS
Please note we do have 3 exterior ring cameras located at all entrances/exits to the home.
