Raymond Retreat - Luxury Lake House

Growing  up in New England, vacations in Maine are some of my fondest memories:  exploring the boardwalk at Old Orchard beach, indulging in fresh lobster  and oysters by the dozen in Portland, lake swims and hiking in the  summers, and skiing in the winter; Maine really has it all.  As an  adult, work pulled me far away from home, but I continued the tradition  by planning yearly trips with family and friends. When I met my wife in  2012, she too was enchanted by the beauty of "Vacationland". Since then,  we have lived in many places and adventured all over the world, but  Maine was the one place we always came back to. We continued our yearly  trips, and even hosted our wedding in Sunday River. Maine was our  paradise, and we were determined to own a piece of it someday. After  more than 10 years of renting lake houses from Sebago to Rangeley, we  saw an opportunity. We saw more and more of our friends opting out of  traditional resort vacations in favor this option. With the right  rental, you could have plenty of space for a large group, unique  amenities, healthy, home-cooked meals, and the chance to indulge in  nature and local culture, but that is only if you find the right  property. We have found many lovely places to stay over the years, but  with our extensive travel and corporate experience, nothing met all of  our requirements or lived up to our exceedingly high standards. What  many property owners did not seem to understand was that, in today’s  market, a vacation rental is not just a spare property you can use to  collect an few extra dollars with little attention, it is a service you  are providing to your guests. It is the thing that will make or break  somebody’s hard-earned vacation, family reunion, or romantic getaway.  Our goal in every decision we have made in building this property was to  put together a product that provides the turn-key, relaxing, luxury  experience we look for in our own vacations. We hope you will visit us  for your next family vacation, getaway, reunion, or special event and  experience all of the beauty Maine has to offer.
