Description:Lake House Getaway Do you want a kid-friendly place for a family vacation? In search of a spot for a romantic getaway, a spiritual retreat, time with a group of friends who love skiing and or being together? Do you need a quiet and beautiful setting in which to study, read, write, create, reflect, recharge, work, or pursue a spiritual quest? Do you like skiing or other winter sports? Do you want an escape surrounded by natural beauty? Would you like a personal spiritual or yoga retreat? Are you an artist, writer or musician who wants to tap into your inner well of creativity? Our beautiful, year round vacation home is located in The Western Maine Mountain Region on 19 wooded acres on Clearwater Lake, one of Maine's most pristine, spring-fed lakes. The lake has six-and-one-half miles of shore line with a depth of 135 feet. It is near the culturally rich college town of Farmington, Maine and a little under 200 miles distant from Boston. It feels nourishing to be here at Clearwater Lake, where we can slow down and not be interrupted, and enjoy nature from inside and also by going outside. We love how deeply we sleep, and how rested we feel when we return to the city. We love how we feel connected with nature and each other after visiting. We love how kids respond by finding adventure and fun outside their usual activities. Enjoy a morning cup of tea or coffee out on the large deck in the warmer weather. In cooler or inclement weather gaze at the lake and its surrounding wooded hills through the floor-to-ceiling living room windows. In wintry weather, enjoy the panoramic view from inside looking through the picture windows at the surrounding mountains, the trees, the snow and ice, and sky. The scene is always changing with mist appearing and disappearing, with sunsets and sunrises, and with visiting birds and other wildlife. The house has a large deck with a grill with a large picnic table. You can enjoy the deck, reading and resting or simply watching the lake. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, the location abounds in opportunities for outdoor play and nature viewing. Accommodations: * The home is fully winterized and can sleep 9 people. It has 2 downstairs bedrooms, a romantic master sleeping loft and a daybed and convertible futon sofa bed in the living room.
