3 Br Private Vacation Home Vacation Rental In Rangeley, Maine

A 'Lookout' At The Overlook

Welcome to our All-season Chalet style home with Breathtaking Panoramic Views of the Mountains & Rangeley Lake. Snowmobile & Lake access. Close drive to Saddleback.

Our well-appointed home provides all the necessary modern amenities for the perfect vacation. The location is set in an Association neighborhood, “The Overlook”, where there are private homes & wooded lots near downtown Rangeley. It is great for gathering with friends & family anytime of the year. Taking in views & wildlife watching from inside the living room, kitchen, master bedroom or from the outside deck & yard will allow the relaxation one desires while on vacation. Barbequing while using the propane grill (May-Oct) on the large deck, enjoying the yard & sunsets while roasting marshmallows at the firepit (May-Oct), & stargazing at night from this secluded spot are more perks that this home has to offer. On colder nights one can cozy up inside by the wood fireplace or the propane viewing stove.

While the quiet setting creates a sense of being away from it all, allowing one to unwind & relax, the home is also nearby many local downtown amenities. Some include 2 local grocery stores (IGA & Oquossoc Grocery, 5 & 15 min drives), Rangeley downtown restaurants/shops (6 min drive), public swimming beach/boat launch (6 min drive), & a Bowling Alley (8 min drive) for family friendly fun. Saddleback Mountain, featuring a new high speed chair lift as well as “The Pub” for dining, is open year-round for opportunities including skiing, hiking, & biking (15 min drive). Sugarloaf Mountain is another year-round recreation possibility (30 miles/40 min drive) from this property.

If staying connected is a must, this home has Wifi internet/Direct TV options with the ability for the renters to sign into apps through Roku TV (Hulu, Netflix, etc.). The home has direct in/out snowmobile access to the ITS trails as well as shared private water access to Rangeley Lake about 1 mile from the property. The Association area includes a dock, picnicking space, & a swimming area. ATV/SXS trail system access is also only a short drive (minutes) from the property. Plenty of driveway space as well as garage use is available for vehicle storage when renting this property. The Rangeley location is perfect for relaxing & rejuvenating as well as enjoying many outdoor recreation adventures including swimming, boating, jet skiing, paddle boarding, kayaking, canoeing, fishing, listening to/watching loons, looking for moose, hiking, hunting, golfing (Mingo Springs), mountain biking, watching waterfalls, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice fishing, skiing, stargazing, ATV use & most importantly taking time to breath in some fresh mountain air.
