China Lake Chalet with Private Waterfront & Dock
Escape to China Lake in this beautifully renovated lakefront chalet, perfect for families and friend getaways year-round. With 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths and room for 8, there’s plenty of space to gather. Enjoy summer days on the lake at your own private waterfront with dock, crisp fall mornings on the deck, or cozy winter evenings by the fire. Modern comforts, beautiful lake views and four-season Maine living make this a getaway for every season. Dog friendly!
With 3 bedrooms, 1.5 bathrooms and space for up to 8 guests, the home is designed for spending time together while still giving everyone room to settle in and relax.
The chalet combines the relaxed feeling of a Maine lake house with the comforts of a thoughtfully updated home. Large windows bring in natural light and showcase the lake, while the open living spaces make it easy for everyone to gather.
Settle into the living room after a day outdoors, cozy up to the fireplace and stream a movie on the Smart TV, play games together, or simply relax and enjoy the view.
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare anything or use the covered grilling area outside. Gather around the dining table or kitchen island, or enjoy meals on the deck overlooking the lake.
The home sleeps up to 8 guests across three bedrooms:
• Bedroom 1: King bed • Bedroom 2: Queen bed • Bedroom 3: Bunk room (Twin over Full) • Living Room: Queen Sleeper Sofa
All bedrooms are on the upper levels of the home. Fresh linens, pillows and towels are provided so you can arrive, unpack and start enjoying your stay.
Spend warm days swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing or simply relaxing by the water. China Lake is a renowned location for bass fishing and the water entry by your private dock is shallow and sandy.
The spacious deck provides another place for everyone to gather, with outdoor dining for eight and a comfortable seating area with beautiful views toward the water.
This is a fully year-round home, so the experience doesn't end when summer does.
Fall brings spectacular Maine foliage, cool mornings and beautiful drives through the countryside. Winter transforms the lake into a peaceful retreat that's perfect for a weekend away with friends or a cozy family getaway. Central Maine offers many miles of well-maintained trails for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing.
China, Maine is within 20 minutes of both Waterville and Augusta - Maine's capital city. Coastal towns of Belfast, Camden and Rockland are less than a hour away by car.
No matter when you visit, come home at the end of the day, get comfortable, cook dinner together and enjoy having your own place on the lake.
