Harrison House | The Chalet - Family-Friendly Waterfront Vacation Home on Crystal Lake

5 Bedroom House in Harrison

WATERFRONT on Crystal Lake! This quintessential chalet-style home sits on quiet Crystal Lake with 150 feet of private shoreline, private dock and swim platform for guest use, and close to a public town beach perfect for swimming! Perfect for your family getaway.
Maximum of 8 adults age 21+. Bunk beds are for children only.
Our large 3,700 square ft open-floor plan home has space for the whole family! Enjoy our walk-out lower level game room with Foosball and ping pong tables, plenty of games and puzzles, and a large TV viewing area with variety of DVDs to keep the kids occupied while the adults lounge on our comfy over-sized sofas on the main level in front of our large wood burning fireplace or enjoy a glass of wine on the deck while listening to music using our built-in Sonos sound system. Prepare gourmet meals in the expansive fully-equipped chef's kitchen with seating for everyone.
In the warmer weather months, take one of our 3 kayaks out on the calm water, grill burgers on our large 6-burner grill connected to our house propane system, and enjoy the evening in our screened-in gazebo. Feel free to tie off your boat on our dock or rent a boat from Harrison Marina 5 minutes away on Long Lake.
In cooler weather, jump on your snowmobile and ride on a local trail right on the frozen lake and take it to access 10,000+ miles of Maine's Interconnected Trail System (ITS) or drive 20 minutes to Shawnee Peak to ski on one of their over 40 trails, 7 glades, and 3 terrain parks - nighttime skiing too! Ice fishing is available on Crystal Lake and Long Lake. Cozy up to our one of a kind suspended wood fireplace while you watch the snow fall through our floor to ceiling windows.

Summary: Clean!! Comfy!! Lake was very enjoyable. The only downside was that the decking needs. some care., some tripping hazards, & quite a few boards were soft & loose & need replacing. Dont let this deter you, the house is great for multigeneration vacationing!! Cant wait to visit again
