About this property

The Cove - Beautiful private log home with large deck, fireplace and dock on Lake Umbagog!!

Come take a break at the Umbagog House. Escape the hustle and bustle of your daily schedule and enjoy the rejuvenating feel of the cool, clean water against your skin. Swim in the lake or relax by its crystal clear shores.

At the Umbagog House you will find time to connect with family, time to share stories with friends, and a place to share wine alongside the sunset. This one-of-a-kind lake house has it all, and now your family can enjoy a vacation here.

The home is built with true log construction and it sits on the shores of one of Maine and New Hampshire's most pristine and coveted lakes. Much of the waterfront land surrounding Umbagog Lake is part of the Umbagog National Wildlife Preserve and this provides a stillness and tranquility that more populated lakes cannot offer.

The fish population of Umbabgo Lake is healthy and plentiful and is comprised of landlocked salmon, perch, trout, largemouth and smallmouth bass. Fish from the dock, a boat, or spend a day at the Wildlife Refuge. As you cast into the water and breathe in the serene landscape, you will feel your mind settle and your stress subside.

The snowmobile community is huge here and Upton is a popular destination for riders. Whether you enjoy a day ride on local trails or a multi-day trip around Maine and New Hampshire, there are a variety of trails to choose from. The Umbagog House can be connected to the ITS trail without needing to trailer your sleds- from the yard you can reach local, interstate and Canadian trail networks.

With an open concept floor plan, guests will enjoy views of the lake from every level. The massive living area provides a space for adults to cook and dine, children to play, and friends to gather by the fireplace. A wrap around porch with a screen room allows for outdoor living and entertaining. This house makes it possible to enjoy the great outdoors no matter the activity or the time of day.

There are three large bedrooms and two full bathrooms that are arranged as follows:

On the first floor, the master bedroom is furnished with a queen size bed, dresser and full closet. There is a his and her bathroom that serves the entire main level.

Upstairs, there are two bedrooms and one bathroom. One bedroom is furnished with a queen bed and dresser, and the second has two double beds that can accommodate up to 4 people. There is also a dresser in the second bedroom and there are closets in both.

The loft area on the second level overlooks the dining area and is furnished with a pull-out couch for extra sleeping capacity.

The lower living space has walk-out doors to the yard and features a separate living room with a T.V.

Visit the Umbagog House once and make this vacation a family tradition.

Important Notes:

Snow removal: All our homes are contracted with various snow removal companies in the area. This includes plow service and snow shoveling for decks and harder to reach areas.
​​​​​​​
Smoking: All of our properties are non-smoking.

Great place to get away from it all!

If you're seeking a tranquil retreat away from the hustle and bustle, this cabin is a perfect choice. The cabin is modern, spacious, beautifully decorated, and offers everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kitchen has a Keurig machine, toaster, and every kitchen utensil, pot, pan, and dish you would ever need. The game room in the walk-out basement was super fun. Pool table, Skeech-Ball, bean bag toss, big TV. Walk out to a private, well-maintained hot tub for a relaxing soak. The cabin's location on the serene Lake Umbagog, with stunning mountain views, is truly idyllic. The lake was quiet and the sunsets were breathtaking. The property management team was exceptional. They are easily reachable by text and responded immediately to all of my messages. I could not have asked for better service from check-in to check-out. Thank you, Peak Properties of Maine!! A few things to note: While the cabin's remote location offers peace and quiet, it's important to plan ahead for grocery shopping as the nearest store is about 40 minutes away. Additionally, there's no cell phone service, but the Wi-Fi was reliable. Launching the kayaks was a bit tricky. There is no place to enter from the shore, so you need to lower them from the dock, which is a lot higher than the water level. (The water level may have been due to the extremely dry summer?) Overall, we had an unforgettable experience at this cabin and can't wait to return for another peaceful getaway!!

Guys annual fishing retreat

We have been staying off and on at this home for over a decade. Our most recent trip was this past weekend (4-nights). The new owners have made some very nice renovations including a nicer waterfront approach (less trees to block the view of the water), a nice big lawn and fire pit facing the water. On the inside the lower level is now a rec room with pool table, wall toss bean bag game, and a variation of shuffle board called Skeetch - lots of fun, along with a Pac Man video arcade-stye game. Just outside (facing the water is a 4-person hot tub. Parking on the non-water side is much improved for more vehicle parking. We will stay here again for sure.

The perfect lake house! We took our canoe out fishing every morning and my kids swam in the lake. The house had everything we needed to cook, clean and fun games to play. Good communication and instructions made it an easy stay with a gorgeous lake view!

Simply Amazing!

We've been renting homes in New England for the past 30+ years. This has been the best! The kitchen is a dream, the lake is fabulous and the home was spacious and well equipped. Like/love: ~all the light switches are marked--it has always been a challenge figuring out which switches go to which lights--not here...well done ~amazing and well appointed kitchen--can't say that enough ~peaceful and quiet ~clean bathrooms ~great dining table--we are a big family and it's nice to have room for everyone. ~linens aplenty!!! Thanks. Wish: ~wish there had been outdoor deck seating (lounge chairs). We brought our own, but do wish there were a few on site. The screened dining area was lovely though. ~wish we could see the lake better from the house--also understand that there may be regulations prohibiting the downing of live trees and I'm not opposed to that. ~Wish we could have stayed longer! Thanks again for an amazing retreat---we will be back!

What a getaway!

this place is beautiful! So well maintained. The rooms are huge. Everything you need is there. The water and water access was terrific. It was plenty of room for the 8 of us. We wanted for nothing! We actually left stuff behind and the staff worked with us to get it back, with no hassle at all!!! I can't recommend this place enough.!!!

Lakeside solitude cabin house

House was absolutely beautiful. Exactly what we were looking for.A great spot if you just want to enjoy the surroundings and the house and relax. We went The day after Thanksgiving and began stowing just as we arrived( perfect) had a nice fireplace ( only downside is you have to provide your own firewood) and we had a 5 hour drive and a packed car so would of never been able to bring any. Great amenities in the house otherwise,. Plan on bringing food ( which we were told) nearest store is 45 minutes out.. No good restaurants within an hour plus.Would recommend this house for rest and relaxation..

Early summer trip

My family of two young children and our in laws could not have loved our trip any more. This house will not disappoint! Immaculate and fully stocked with every household item you didn't know you needed! The lake is quiet, peaceful and filled with fish :) the proximity to grafton notch state park makes adding a hiking trip into your lake adventure easy. This house is remote which means packing the food you need ahead of time - as the nearest fully stocked grocery store is about 45 mins. We can't wait to visit again.

Great winter getaway!

We had a wonderful time at the Lake Umbagog house. The open-concept common area and kitchen on the first floor was perfect for family and kids to be able to hang out together without being on top of one another. We cooked and ate all our meals at the house and with the fully-equipped kitchen with plenty of storage we were easily able to fit all our week's provisions. Bedrooms were spacious and comfy for the week. It was really nice to have direct access outside through the basement so we could leave our snow gear there and not have to traipse through the house. The property itself was gorgeous. We ice-fished and walked out onto the Lake right from the house and found a hill for sledding. It was a perfect family retreat and we would stay there again!
