| The
cottage sits on Labrador Pond (a true lake) in the rolling hills of a
scenic wooded farm area in Oxford County, Maine. The lake is about 3/4
by 1 mile in size, located 25 miles northwest of Lewiston (about 40 miles
south of Augusta.) |

| Labrador
is an unusually pretty lake, spring-fed, clear and mirroring the sky and
distant hills.The cottage is built on a rise overlooking the lake with
a western view of mountains and sunsets. It is about 100 feet from the
water just across a small blacktop country road which leads to good hiking
around the lake. The western shore of the lake is a wild bird preserve, offering habitation to ducks, Canadian geese, loons, as well as the occasional moose. Canoeing through the reeds here reveals the wildlife, as well as the best fishing spots.The cottage has a large living room with views of lake and woods. An open kitchen dining area faces west. |

Off the kitchen a long screened porch allows for pleasant lounging during the glorious sunsets. For barbecues, there is a Weber grill and picnic table. A flat grass lawn off the porch offers outdoor play space, then slopes to the beach. Stairs from the front door also lead to the beach. The kitchen and bath have hot and cold sweet running water pumped from a spring-fed well. A phone is provided for incoming and local calls. Swimming is excellent. The long narrow sand beach has a wide shallow water swimming area just across from the cottage. |

The water stays shallow (two to four feet) at least 50-60 feet out from the shoreline, providing a safe area for children and non-swimmers. There is a swimming float and inner tubes are available for floating. The canoe is docked off the pier. The lake abounds with food for the fisherman: plentiful bass, lake trout, perch and pickerel. Many trout streams are nearby. Large mouth bass hide out in the reeds at the far south (left) end of the lake. |
