Lodging in Maine and so Much More!
Seven Days at Lake House
Ever wonder what there is to do in Western Maine? Wanting
to experience life "as it should be"? Your lodging in
Maine will be provided by Lake House and we will share with you our
thoughts on how you
can fill your days if you so desire.
Here are 7 days of places to go and things to do that will give
you an idea about what the Western Maine Lakes and Mountains are like.

Right here in Waterford you have the Village where 21
structures are listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. 200 year old homes encircle the village complete

across from the Home of Artemus Ward, Mark Twain's mentor or
wander over to the Waterford Public Library or Mary Rice Museum.

Waterford has many lakes for boating, fishing, swimming, cross
country skiing, skating, snow shoeing. Launch your boat or take a swim in the
crystal clear water of Lake Keoka. Mt. Tirem, Hawk
Mountain, and Bear Mountain offer local hiking and views of the
area. Climb Mount
Tirem on
the Daniel Brown trail, named for a leading citizen in the early
1800's, a moderately steep climb that levels off to a fairly
gentle ascent. Just minutes from your room, take the one hour
round trip climb before breakfast to view farms and fields, Bear
Pond, Long Lake, Sebago Lake, Keoka Lake and surrounding peaks.
