We loved our 4 night stay on Rangeley Lake. The house was fantastic, cozy (the kids loved the loft), comfortable, and clean. It is right on Rangeley lake, an inlet of the lake actually, which makes it perfect for paddle boarding and canoeing on really calm water. (Although we did venture out beyond the inlet and that was great too.). The town itself is a huge bonus. Delicious restaurants (with gluten free options), supermarket, and this great place to rent water toys. We rented paddle boards, which were delivered with life jackets and picked up after we left. It was a long ride for us coming from MA, but honestly if all the lake houses we have vacationed it, this is one I would want to go to first!
