WATERFRONT 20' from Lake Private End of Road Float KayaksFirepit 2025 is booking

Consider the shoulder months of June and September, which are lovely with less traffic and easier to get into restaurants. Last 7 photos are from a guest in October.

Please contact me through the VRBO inquiry feature prior to booking with any questions so we make sure this cottage is THE ONE :) for your family vacation.

Imagine watching the reflection on a lake of an orange sun rise over a wooded hill; You breathe in the aroma of the towering pines that is quintessential Maine and hear loons calling to each other. Welcome to Isla’s Will; A cottage at the end of a private child safe road, tucked in the woods just 20 feet from the water’s edge. Away from it all, but super close to area amenities: Fun Park, Movie Theatre, and most importantly, ice cream and gourmet deli salads and sandwiches.

Spend your days diving off your private swim float, then eat lunch at the picnic table or deck. Fish off the dock, explore the nearby winery or catch a movie if the weather is inclement. Top off the day with a campfire toasting s’mores on the fire pit or dine at a hip restaurant in Portland with every cuisine imaginable just 40 minutes away.

Waterfront Amenities: There is 100 feet of direct lake front and an additional 100 feet on a ROW shared by everyone on the road. There are 3 steps with a railing to a sandy bottom waterfront. Ideal for the young or elderly. The water temperature in the top 18 inches is 70 degrees by the end of June.

As part of a private association, Isla’s Will offers 2 other swimming venues in addition to your own private lake front. There is also a boat launch facility and a private 20 foot dock where 2 kayaks and a canoe are available for your use only (a $700 rental value). Loons, turtles and ducks will be your constant water companions.

Cottage Amenities: Beds for 6 plus the possibility of two more using the rollaway on the second level and a futon in the bedroom on the first floor. There is a pull out queen sofa in the living room. Queen bed in master bedroom, twin beds in loft. First floor bedroom has a queen and the aforementioned futon twin.

Bathrooms on both floors. 1st floor was remodeled with granite counters and sit down shower. 2nd floor is ensuite with new shower and has clawfoot tub.

The gourmet galley kitchen is fully outfitted (food processor, dish washer, microwave, 2 lobster pots, blender, waffle and crepe maker etc) has Pergo floors and hand painted tile backsplash. There is an unusually large kitchen table with 2 leaves that has room for 6 chairs. Additional seating with 2 bar stools at the breakfast nook.

Area Highlights: While very private, the location is not remote. Windham's Fun Park with go carts, sky swing and mini golf, movie theater and mall are 15 minutes in one direction while Naples with a game arcade, old fashioned steamboat ride around Long Lake, water sports, and plane rides is 15 minutes in the other direction.

Day trips under 2 hours: Portland is a great walking city from which you can tour the outer Maine islands via the mail boat or explore Peaks Island via golf cart. Freeport and North Conway for outlet shopping are an hour away. Family outings might include visits to the Maine Wildlife Park in Gray or the Sabbathday Shaker Village in New Gloucester which is the last active Shaker village in the US. Hike any variety of mountains including Shawnee Peak in Bridgton 45 minutes away; an artsy town where there is a wonderful park along a stream, an old time movie theatre, antique shops and art galleries to browse. Closer to the cottage, 5 minutes away is Hacker’s Hill with mesmerizing views of Sebago Lake in one direction and Thomas Pond in the other.

About the lake: Thomas Pond covers 533 acres and has a maximum depth of 64 feet. It is about 1 mile long and a mile wide with nooks and crannies to explore. Very quiet and private with just one neighbor on one side with trees in between. The surface temperature of the water in the summer is 78 degrees. There are 14 different kinds of fish living in the pond including: Brook and Brown trout, white and yellow perch as well as large mouth bass. In 1989, the largest smallmouth bass ever caught in Maine came from Thomas Pond. In the morning you can see the fish from your bedroom window.

Yard Amenities: A private lot is extremely rare in the Lakes Region. Children will enjoy playing in our pesticide/herbicide-free yard. Lots of potted flowers and perennial beds with garden ornaments give the feel of a bed and breakfast. An herb garden is yours for culinary experimentation. Book lovers take notice. We have a large assortment of books for children and adults with topics to please all tastes.

Google 'Isla's Will' for a video on U tube.

I pulled the following paragraphs on Thomas Pond trivia from Jon Whitney a local realtor's blog:
"The mood on Thomas Pond is relaxed. In fact, this is where Nathaniel Hawthorne, the famous 19th century author of The Scarlet Letter and many other works, used to enjoy relaxing as a kid. There is even a granite rock known as Inspiration Chair located along the shoreline that it is said he enjoyed sitting on.

Hawthorne spent some off his boyhood only a stones throw from Thomas Pond at his Uncle Richard Manning's home. According to the Hawthorne in Salem Web site, "Nathaniel and his friends could walk along broad Dingley Brook as it flowed down from its source, Thomas Pond, a half mile away. On its shores was the brickyard run by Jacob Watkins, which made the bricks necessary for the chimneys of the houses. From Thomas Pond, Nathaniel could see Rattlesnake Mountain, several miles away, a view which he loved." Today, family names in the area still include Dingley and Watkins. And in the summertime you can visit Hawthorne's home on nearby Raymond Cape Road in South Casco.

Tall white pines surround the 7.5 miles of shoreline. The lake covers 497 acres and has a maximum depth of 64 feet. The outlet, Dingley Brook, drains directly into Sebago Lake. Seasonal and year-round homes dot the shoreline."

Lakeside retreat
We thoroughly enjoyed this lakeside cabin. The beach front is perfect for swimming and paddling. And we utilized the kayaks and canoe everyday. The lake was very quiet and the neighbors friendly. I loved the cozy feel of the house. And I loved all the lakeside windows so you could really enjoy the view from kitchen living room and upstairs bedroom. The kitchen was well equipped to handle our multigenerational group. We would love to come back. And would highly recommend.

The kayaks and the wifi service were both, a welcomed bonus. We had such a wonderful time relaxing on the deck overlooking the water. Our host, Mary, was so easy to work and her welcome packet included so many local suggestions for hikes, restaurants, and adventures. What a wonderful vacation! We hope to get back soon.

Perfect early fall vacation spot.
This is a close-to-Portland and very convenient location situated at the end of a road, so despite proximity to suburban Maine, it is mostly a private site. The house was nicer even than the pictures depict and very much as described by both the lovely owners and the previous guests. It is more house than cabin or camp and even has air conditioning (smart move given that summers are getting warmer). The WiFi connection was excellent and we were all three able to work and Zoom without a hitch. For an end-of-September stay, it was wonderfully quiet and peaceful with very few of the many houses on all sides of the pond occupied, so we mostly had the pond to ourselves. Given the number of houses I would think this pond quite busy in peak summer—ideal for a family vacation with children or teens—with this house’s spot adjacent to a wooded natural area being quite prime. Our visit coincided with the moon’s peak and the moon rises were spectacular, directly across the pond. Our last night we had an owl calling. The loons were there daily (and nightly) as were a number of ducks (wood ducks and mallards), herons, woodpeckers, chickadees and plenty of lingering warblers and vireos.

Great Get Away
My husband and I enjoyed our stay at Isla's Will very much. Property was clean and very organized. We loved our morning sunrise from the deck and kitchen. It was a full moon during our stay, so we enjoyed many gorgeous moon rises as well. Loon calls in the evening echo over the pond. Beautiful sound to hear. The chipmunks and turtles were quite entertaining. We saw a couple eagles fly by. We hiked a bit in the wildlife area next to cottage. Very nice. The view from hawk mountain is absolutely amazing. Mary is a very nice woman. Communication with her could not be any easier. She has so much information about our stay, it left little to no questions. However, we knew if we needed anything, she was just a phone call away. Our visit was just the two of us, but plenty of room for more adults and children. The atmosphere is very welcoming and homie. We felt quite comfortable as soon as we got there. My husband enjoyed fishing from the dock. We were sad to leave this slice of heaven. We hope to be back next year. Thank you Mary. We loved Isla's Will.

We had a nice week. The location is fabulous and Mary is a wonderful host. We kayaked, fished and swam. Walked the trail and biked the road. Used the canoe and had a couple camp fires and roasted marshmallows. We saw a kingfisher, the loons came up close while we were kayaking. The eagle swooped down and snagged a fish right in front of us on one trip. Blue Heron flew between us just minutes after. The pond is nice and quiet. Perfect for a get away. The camp fit the four of us perfectly with room for visitors.

Quiet, pristine lake yet close to everything
Everybody in my family loved the house and the lake. The lake itself is pristine and clear - a lot of wildlife too, from ducks to loons to turtles to a majestic bald eagle. The water was warm and the kids spent many hours in the water each day. As far as cottage, it was comfortable and spotless, we were thankful for air conditioner since it was actually quite hot during the week that we stayed. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen well-stocked and Mary is one of the most attentive and pleasant hosts I ever had to deal with. Thank you for the wonderful week.

This lakefront home was a great place for our family to enjoy. The home accommodates the family including a four year old. The property has several places from which to enjoy the lakefront view, eat a meal, read a book and even a small lawn area for some games. The water, deck and float where great and the lake itself is fairly quiet, clean and not too developed. The kitchen was very well equipped and allowed the family to make some amazing meals. The owner was very helpful through the process.

Peaceful, easy, beautiful retreat
First, Mary was SO easy to deal with. It was covid and things were changing. But we were planning to just isolate by ourselves up there. She was super easy to talk to, quick responses, very thoughtful about her COVID prep (like advised us to bring our own pillows just in case, of took the jigsaw puzzles out of the house bc they’re porous). We just brought some of our own games but I appreciated that she thought things through. The house was perfect for a single family, maybe 2. We had kayaks, and the swim platform, and discovered little islands on Thomas pond. We saw turtles, frogs, eagles, loons. It was just beautiful and relaxing from morning to night. We figured out grocery and food delivery. Drove through some cute towns that we’ll explore next time. It really reset us and we’ll be back!

Perfect, Relaxing Stay on Thomas Pond
This home on Thomas Pond was the perfect place for relaxing and enjoying the region near Sebago Lake. Mary was the perfect host, very responsive and helpful in all her suggestions. The house was extremely clean and well stocked on the end of a peninsula, so extremely quiet and private. They supplied 3 kayaks and a canoe which we utilized at least once a day. The pond is large enough with undeveloped areas and coves to make the kayaking and birding always interesting. We saw Loons, osprey, an eagle and migrating birds. There were plenty of places to hike for all ages. We especially enjoyed the views from Hawk Mountain and the Beaver Loop Trail in Sebago State Park. During this period with the Coronavirus, we felt perfectly safe, isolated but never bored. I would highly recommend this wonderful home and hope to return.

You found what you’re looking for
Location, location, location. Mary’s cottage is what anyone would think of for a lake house getaway in Maine...and then some. No pictures can describe the beauty and vastness of this place. At the end of a dead end street, there’s one neighbor and nothing but woods and a quiet little cove to yourself. Amazing views from every window. We spent a week and only left the cottage for a day trip to Portland and another to check out Hacker’s Hill. Plenty of space for any kid’s imagination to run wild! Thank you Mary for going above and beyond any owner we’ve come across in the past 4 years using HomeAway. One other note, my wife is a chef and the plethora of local food we were able to find blew us away! Maine has much more to offer than just lobster! Highly recommend this place to families looking for an amazing relaxing vacation. Can’t say enough, enjoy!
