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.
Take some time to come & stay in our home. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!!

Fireplace Instructions (Please do not start a fire in the wood fireplace on the morning of departure)
Step 1: Open doors & metal curtain
Step 2: Open Flue – Reach in & up, grab lever to push up & outward to open (towards the lake) until it sets into the open position
Step 3: Light the fire & enjoy. Metal curtain should be closed & doors should remain open/partially open when fire is in use.

Bedroom Heat
Leaving the bedroom doors open will provide the best heating experience in both first level bedrooms, especially the master bedroom. Make sure to leave all bedroom & bathroom doors open prior to leaving the house.
*** Please leave the thermostat near the front hall/bathroom at 58 degrees prior to leaving the house.
Small campfires are allowed in the firepit. All fires must be supervised & put out completely when done with use. Once ashes are cooled renters should use ash buckets to discard ashes
***The Homeowner's Association asks homeowners to notify renters to obey the Speed limit signs posted (10-20 mph in varying places) to help maintain the quality of the roads as well as for the safety of people/dogs who may be walking.
*** No parties, smoking, hunting, or pets. Please be mindful of neighbors & keep noise to an appropriate level so they can enjoy their quiet space.
***Four-wheel drive vehicles will be necessary for accessing the house in the winter. Per the HOA, they are not responsible for stranded cars. Call AAA.
***Currently there are no bathroom fans, this is on the to do list. If you are familiar with those in your party please consider leaving the bathroom doors cracked to prevent major steaming in the bathroom when showering to save the wood walls. Please avoid cracking the windows in the winter months.
***Lighting: Additional lighting, controlled by various remotes, is available for ambiance. The remotes are in the green reindeer dish located on the cabinet under the TV in the living room. Point the remote, that is labeled “below moose”, below the moose (slightly to the right) to illuminate. Colors can be changed to your preference. Additional ambiance lighting in the kitchen is controlled by the switch to the right of the kitchen sink (labeled accordingly). Once the switch is in the on position, point the remote labeled “above sink” above the sink and to the right to control the lights/desired color. One last remote controls the front & back deck lighting, you will not need to adjust this. The lights automatically turn on at 5pm and turn off at 11pm. Window candles also go on/off automatically in winter months.
