Welcome to Echo Lodge

Hosts of Echo Lodge
★★★★★ Maine hosts, lake locals

Echo Lodge has been a family gathering spot for decades, and we love sharing it. The dock is steps from the back porch, the canoes are always ready, and the fire pit gets used most nights. We're a short drive away if you need anything, but most weeks you won't need to find us at all.

Good to know

What time is check-in and check-out?

Check-in is 4pm, check-out is 10am. We'll send keypad instructions before your stay, so there's no need to coordinate a meeting time.

Is the lake good for swimming?

Yes — the swim dock has a ladder and is roped off in shallow water, well suited for kids and adults alike. Water temperatures are most comfortable from June through September.

What's the cancellation policy?

Full refund if you cancel at least 14 days before check-in. Inside 14 days, you'll be refunded 50% of nights not yet started.

How many people can the lodge sleep?

Comfortably 8, up to 10 with the pull-out sofa and air mattresses. There are 4 bedrooms and 1.5 bathrooms in total.

Do you provide the kayaks and canoes, or do we need our own?

Everything's included — kayaks, canoes, and paddleboards are stored by the dock and ready to use, along with life jackets in a range of sizes.
