Whip O’ Will Beach House on Sabbathday Lake with In law Studio Apartment
The Whip O Will is located in a sandy cove on Sabbathday Lake in New Gloucester, Maine, home of the nearby Sabbathday Lake Shakers.
This sandy beach front house offers the best of both worlds: an oasis of peace and quiet that is still within striking distance of Portland, Freeport, the White Mountains, and the Maine coast. Listen to the loons every morning and night while enjoying direct access to the private association-shared swimming sandy beach.
This Beach house is located on the southern end of the lake. The beach gets full afternoon sun and gorgeous sunsets that light up the sky
You can use the house as a home base to enjoy Maine's blue skies in the summer, peep at spectacular foliage in the fall, Ice fish or ski and snowmobile in the winter.
The kitchen features a full gas stove, refrigerator, and microwave and is stocked with all the necessary cookware and tableware.
There is a bright and airy dining and living room with a 180-degree view of the lake and the great outdoors. We provide a canoe, a gas grill for outdoor cooking, and everything you'll need for your getaway, including linen and towels.
The main house has full bath, one bedroom with a queen-size bed, and a sleeping loft with one queen-size and one twin-size futon sofa.
There is a washer and dryer, Wifi, and 3 Flat screen smart TV.
A separate studio apartment with a private entrance has an open-concept layout with 3/4 bath, one queen-size bed, and a pull-out full-size couch.
We have plenty of parking. There is also plenty of outdoor beach seating with an outdoor firepit. A 30 foot dock for docking your boat. Access to Tesla charger.
Together, both units sleep eight comfortably.
Bookings are from Saturday to Saturday. Check in is at 3:00 PM and check out at 11:00 AM.

Peacefull vacation
Very clean and well supplied with everything needed for a relaxing week. The owner was available for questions when needed, but was not at all intrusive. The dock was not available due to the excessive rain, but Peter made arrangements with a neighbor to use their dock for our boat. Very nice.

Wonderful week on the lake in August
Peter is a great host. The lake is lovely and clean. Getting into the water is gradual and sandy, which made it easy for our grandkids to walk in and play where it's shallow or jump in off the dock. They loved swimming to the floating dock. Lots of chairs for sitting by the lake plus kayaks, canoes and paddle boards. The house is as described and very comfortable. The separate "apartment" below the main house worked well for our two families. We had a great time. Thank you, Peter.

Loved our first trip to Maine!
I stayed at this house with my mom, dad and adult daughter. There was plenty of room for all of us to spread out and enjoy the week. The house itself had everything we needed and then some! While we didn’t have the best of weather, we thoroughly enjoyed time on the dock, in the paddle boat and kayak, and the beach. We could have easily stayed another week and loved every day.
We drove to Freeport for shopping, Portland and Cape Elizabeth for sightseeing and Boothbay Harbor area for the botanical gardens and a whale watching excursion. Everything was a bit of a drive from the house but I knew that before booking. We wanted to see Maine and all the different countrysides so this location ended up being perfect for us!
Thank you for opening your house up to us so we could experience Maine together. Memories were made that will last a lifetime ❤️

Incredible spot!
What an amazing oasis. The house is very comfortable, well appointed and right on the beach! Peter was a gracious and responsive host. Lots of thoughtful touches, kindling and newspapers for s’more fires, buckets of water by the door to reduce the amount of sand one tracks in, etc. Perfect vacation. Highly recommended.

Fabulous stay on Sabbathday Lake!
We had a wonderful week at Peter’s rental on Sabbathday Lake! Lovely, well equipped rental—plentiful kitchen and cooking supplies. We were very happy and Peter was a gracious and lovely host. Great spot for kids with the nice sandy beach and lots of interesting things to do in the area! Would happily go back!
