About this property
Spectacular Kezar Lake Property On Eastern Shore Of Upper Bay;white Mtn Sunsets
“Hilamayna” is a lovely Adirondack – style lake house located on 2 ½ private acres on the most desirable east shore of Lake Kezar’s Upper Bay. The open deck, screened porch and master bedroom have spectacular views westward across the lake to sunsets over the White Mountains, from Baldface to well beyond Speckled Mountain. The property offers an unusual combination of privacy, yet easy access to Rte 5 for convenient shopping, dining out and day trips. The shingle house was built in 2011 and consists of a main section that sleeps 4 adults and 3 kids, and a semi- detached guest house that sleeps two adults. The main section provides a large open plan kitchen, dining area, and living room with wood stove. The master bedroom with a French door onto the deck has a master bath with shower and bathtub. Two large open lofts upstairs provide sleeping for three kids on twin beds, with their own half bath immediately at the foot of the stairs. Down the stairs there is a private bedroom and full bath suite with it's own entry from the outdoors. The spacious and airy guesthouse is accessed through a covered breezeway off the main house. It has a queen sized bed and a full bath with shower. The property slopes down steeply through woods and a beautiful meadow to 335 ft of private shoreline. The house location about 90 ft above the lake provides great views and some welcome separation from lakefront bustle. At the shore there is a dock with swimming ladder and also a separate sitting /swimming area with Adirondack chairs, for more gradual access into the lake for small children. Two kayaks are provided. A mooring off the dock can be used for a small boat, which can be launched conveniently at the nearby public access ramp. Amenities include WiFi, a fully equipped kitchen with microwave, coffee maker, and dishwasher. A washer and dryer are also provided.

Lovely new property. Very comfortable for our group which included children ages 2,4,6 and 13 parents and three post 65 adults. We were joining other families at other properties near by and the set up worked very well for us.
Beautiful property with stunning views. Clean and wonderfully set. A very comfortable house with ample room and amenities. Lake Kezar is really one of a kind. There was a very nice dock and float that was great for swimming and launching the provided SUPs and kayaks. The water was pristine. My family loved everything about our stay there. We certainly hope to be able to return in the future.
We were lucky enough to come back to this gorgeous home again. The layout is perfect for our group, plenty of wide open room for all. The upgrades in the kitchen were duly noted and appreciated. However, the new dock at the water was REALLY appreciated. Being allowed to use the kayaks is such a treat to get out on the lake and see those loons close up. Only one in the group was brave enough to try the stand up paddle board and had success, so another happy moment!
Kezar Lake is beautiful and this home gives you a fabulous space to enjoy it!
Location was fantastic. Our host Elizabeth was attentive and easy to communicate with if there were questions. House is a great place to enjoy Maine with family.
This is our second year staying at this property after 50+ years of coming to Kezar Lake. We have stayed at 5 different homes over the years and this one is the nicest hands down. We had one minor worry over a small leak after a torrential downpour and the owner got back to us right away. Everything you need is right there including kayaks to enjoy the water. We hope to be back again next year!

Awesome lake and comfortable private setting
Hilamayna is a great mix of a beautiful and relaxing setting where you can enjoy as many, and as strenuous, an outdoor activity as you like. The Lovell area is quintessential northern New England and the local markets and cafes were great. Kezar Lake itself deserves every accolade and is absolutely pristine. The private waterfront has a dock area and a separate sitting area with a gradual, though mostly stony, water entry. The dock access is great for a boat and for jumping off the end and swimming about over a sandy bottom. We kayaked, water skied and tubed, hiked a few trails nearby, and took evening boat rides around the lake. Fishing would have been great. Many evenings we sat around the fire listening to the loons' evening calls. Although the house is situated a few hundred feet up the hill from the water, that also makes for wonderful views and sunsets across the water to the west. The layout of the house is great for lake living, it is well cared for, and it works very well for families. Even in the event of a rainy day there are board games, books, and ping pong. The owners were very easy, prompt, and fair to work with and we hope that we are able to get back next summer.
This is not your typical lake house - it is new, modern, very well built, excellent location, kitchen stocked with everything one needs, nicely furnished and spacious. Each bedroom has it's own bathroom. The loft area was perfect for our 3 grand daughters. An adult would also be comfortable in the lofts. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the deck and screened porch along with a glass of wine watching the sunset. One can either walk or drive to the lake. We had no issues walking down to the lake as the house sits up on a slight hill overlooking the lake. Kezar Lake Country Club is near by for a round of golf. We rented a boat from Lee at the Marina and this house has a comfortable dock. The owner of the house was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. If you are searching for an up to date lake house - look no further as you will enjoy this property.
We have been visiting Kezar Lake for over 50 years and we all agreed this was the best house we ever rented. The layout of the house worked so well for our group. The two porches overlooking the lake couldn't have been better. The eagle flying overhead was an awesome touch! It was not possible for everyone to reach the lake as the road is rather steep, but the ones who did go down loved using the kayaks and seeing the loons up close. We look forward to returning!
This is a beautiful well equipped home with everything you can possibly need for a relaxing vacation. We spent a lot of our time in the spacious screened in porch overlooking the lake and Mountain View. There is plenty of reading material new and old that gave you a real feeling about the area, especially the book on Severance Lodge. The owners have gone out of their way to provide for all your needs with top rated accessories. We had a wonderful relaxing time and are thankful to the owners to be able to rent their beautiful home .
The floors wear extremely squeaky in the kitchen and master bedroom, this was extremely annoying . Ant traps on kitchen counter, kitchen draws could be cleaner . The place was picked up but definitely could use a deep clean. Considering the cleaning fee we paid we expected more The shed down below was loaded with bees definitely not a bunkhouse.
The view and water was amazing and we did enjoy our stay. The use of two kayaks was very nice.
Wonderful property - serenity from the workaday world
Lovely, well appointed house. Came with our "family by choice." Enjoyed adequate indoor space, but spent much of our time at the lakeside. Built a camp fire everyday which kept bugs at bay and have the kids an activity. Bright or own kayaks but 2 kayaks cube with the house. We also rented paddle boards which were put to good use.
We thoroughly enjoyed our time away from the world without cell phone service (though there is wifi at the house). Only downside is the steep slope down to the lake. We were ok with this, but or legs definitely got a workout!
This beautiful lake house was perfect for our family. It rained every day we were there but the screened in porch was the perfect gathering spot to play games and still enjoy fresh air and of course listening to the loons calling every morning and evening, our grandson loved that. Hoping to go back next summer.
Lovely young vacation home with smashing views of the lake. 3 full bedrooms with additional loft sleeping space. 2 wonderful porches.
Walk or ride down to lake and dock.
A wonderful family experience.
Our grandson swam and kayaked every day. A great vacation!
Our week was fabulous! The view of Kezar Lake from this home is absolutely breathtaking. Cleanliness and comfort are obviously the home owners number one priority!
Lovely home. For a party of 7 with an infant and toddler it worked out well. Only downside. It’s a little far from the lake. The steep hike made it a little tricky. An absolute wonderful spot with beautiful views
Our family rented this beautiful Maine home for a week for a family reunion. It was absolutely a perfect home for the size family we had with children and adults. The screened in porch was our favorite room, bug free and with a serene view of the lake.
Thank you for a memorable week!

Wonderful respite from all the hustle and bustle of our hyper-connected world!
My family has recently returned from a lovely week at this spectacular home. The beauty and tranquility are remarkable and beyond restorative. We loved the lake and were amazed at how quiet it was, a refreshing change from some other lakes we have visited. The water was amazingly clear and refreshing. It was a joy to kayak along the shore taking in the natural splendor. I would highly recommend this property!

A Spectacular Retreat
My family had a delightful stay here - the mountain view from the cabin is just wonderful (sunrises, sunsets, and inclement weather were all a joy to watch). The facilities (kitchen, laundry, beds, etc.) were fully as-described and provided a very comfortable setting for a large group; the living room, dining room and porch provided ample space for everyone to relax. We visited with two toddlers, and they had a great time both in and around the cabin and down at the water (note that there is a 5-minute walk downhill to the lake). Highly recommended!

Spectacular Summer Getaway
Our family thoroughly enjoyed this summer home. The house is set up perfectly for a large family and the attached guest room is perfect for visiting guests. The view from the home is just as advertised with beautiful hilltop view of mountains off to the west. We spent many hours in the water and on the kayaks and the kids even caught a few small mouth bass off the dock. The property is private and quiet and has plenty of room down by the water for camping, grilling and lounging around. We had a great week.
Sincerely,
Deron Weatherbie

Beautiful home in a serene setting
Our family had a fantastic time at Kezar Lake. The home was fully equipped to meet all of our needs. Working with the owner to prepare for our vacation was an easy, pleasant experience. The view from the home is spectacular. We sat on the deck for meals overlooking the lake and gazed at the the mountains beyond. We particularly enjoyed the seclusion. The home is tucked in the hillside and no immediate neighbors are visible. Also, whether looking from the house or relaxing at the dock, there are very few homes to see, just gorgeous lake, forest and mountains. We went on many kayak excursions, enjoyed swimming in the pristine lake, and just relaxing in the very comfortable home.
