Upstairs, you'll discover three cozy bedrooms (1 queen and 2 Fulls), a child's loft area, and a master bedroom with a king bed and bunk beds, along with a dedicated TV area equipped with smart TV and surround sound speakers for an immersive movie-watching experience.

The attached garage has been transformed into a game area with ping pong and pool tables, offering hours of entertainment for all ages.
Outside, you'll be surrounded by over an acre of lush lawns, beautiful perennial gardens, hand-built rock walls, charming bridges, and even your very own waterfall and Lilly pond. Down by the water we have a year-round permanent dock that gets an extension added to it from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. Bring your own boat and keep it on the dock, or rent one in town and come pick up the rest of the crew right from the house! We also provide kayaks and canoes for your enjoyment from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. When the sun sets, gather around the lakeside firepit, the wood is on us! Nature enthusiasts will delight in the regular visits from loons, deer, and bullfrogs.. as well as a wide variety of biting insects and the occasional rodent- This is northern Maine after all! Adventurers can explore nearby trailheads for the Appalachian Trail.
If you decide to venture out, the quaint town of Oquossoc is just 5 minutes away, offering a small grocery store/deli, a tap house, a museum, boat rentals, and a sporting goods store. A short 5-minute drive further leads to the larger town of Rangeley, where you'll find a variety of shops, bars, restaurants, and even a bowling alley with live music.
Sunrise Cove Lodge offers an exceptional opportunity to experience the best of Maine's Lakes Region, combining natural beauty with the comforts of home. We invite you to make lasting memories in this idyllic retreat.
However, there are a few things to consider:
-Summer rentals (July/August/First half of September) are week-long from Sunday to Sunday.
-The boats and dock extension are only available from Memorial Day to Columbus Day. The weather gets real in the area! We hire winter/summerization and lawn maintenance out to a company that just comes and does it when they can, so you may encounter them. We do not have a say about when they cut the lawn.
-The interior stairs may be challenging for some guests, but both levels have exterior entrances that are easier to navigate. Additionally, there's a large bedroom on the main floor with minimal steps to enter the house.
-This home is dog-friendly, but it should be noted that it is a challenging environment for dogs. The stairs inside are steep and narrow making it very hard for them to navigate. You can walk them around the outside to access the upper and lower levels, but leaving them unattended on the main level tends to lead to them scratching our wood doors- which will be noticed and charged to repair. Plus the allure of digging in the gardens or chasing the frogs in the man-made pond (with an easily tearable liner) can be too much for many dogs to resist. We are willing to allow dogs but before bringing yours please ask yourself if this is a good environment for your dog to not cause any damage to itself or our property.
-We have a general rule of not more than 100 lb "worth" of dogs with a maximum of 3. This means you can have three 30lb dogs. Two 50 b dogs, or one 100lb dog - But you cannot have three 100lb dogs.
-This is not a party house; considerate behavior is expected out of respect for nearby and full-time resident neighbors who value their peace and quiet.
