About the host
Hosted by Cynthia Gerke
After updating cabin I rented for a short time with Vacation Rentals. Fortunately I have been able to enjoy it for a few years. I only rent weeks for expenses . The rest of season I enjoy sharing with friends and family.
I enjoy hearing how restful,beautiful, Tranquil, and all the work we did are appreciated. When my Long Island grandson was 9, fishing from dock, swimming, boating, riding bike on dirt road in woods, he said " I want to live in Maine, it's so quiet, with clean air.
I am in 80s, live in MA but have large Maine family in area.

I am in 80s, live in MA but have large Maine family in area.
Why they chose this property
The cabin belonged to my brothers family and I fell in love with the quiet relaxing time I had on my visit there. When he passed I wanted to keep it in the family but needed to rebuild As a 3 season property it is my escape from city life from April till Oct. love the quiet spring, summer season and fall with the changing leaves. I canoe, swim, read, sometimes use big Waverunner or build sandcastles with great, great nephew and neices who I will now play croquet and other games instead of TV. July 4th, weekends and occasionally other friendly owners use their property.
What makes this property unique
Sebago is the second largest lake in Maine (11 mi by 7 mi) and has a depth in places of 316 ft. Frye Island located in the lake has many homes and a golf course ( built by my Dad). It can be reached by your boat or by car Ferry located near the end of Raymond Cape Rd. Tallwood is located in quiet Dingley Cove off Raymond Cape Rd. While others enjoy boating fishing, jet skiing, diving in the lake and,going to Frye Island for ice cream or traveling the 40 miles of waterway from Lake Sebago to Long Lake and Brandy Pond via the Crooked River, I enjoy swimming, sitting around a camp fire, laying on the hammock, sitting at the beach reading a book, taking a walk , taking my guests to Hackers Hill, the Sebago Locks and Naples. An outing can take you to Old Orchard Beach, Oxford Casino. Naples Causway, LL Bean, Cabalas and Freeport shopping.
