Fall asleep to the sound of the loons over pristine Tripp Lake and wake to another day in paradise when you stay at the Wolf Cove Inn, 11 rooms and one cabin set on almost two acres of scenic lakefront, gardens, pine groves and sweeping lawns. After your complimentary breakfast (blueberry baked stuffed French toast, anyone?), take one of the inn’s kayaks or canoes out to explore the lake. Come back for some real relaxation in the four-season outdoor sauna and cold-plunge tub, or arrange for an aromatherapy massage in your room. Each room is unique, with garden or lake views. Some have a fireplace or jetted spa tub. The Eagle’s Nest Cabin has panoramic lake and pine grove views. Some rooms, and the cabin, are pet-friendly.

Sebago Lake, 55 square miles of pristine water, is the centerpiece of the Point Sebago Resort, with a one-mile stretch of sandy beach perfect for swimming, paddling or just relaxing with a Tiki Bar beverage while the kids build sand castles. The resort’s cabins and cottages are at or near the water, as are several glamping options. The seven-bedroom island lodge offers views of the lake from its wraparound deck. Activities at the resort include an 18-hole championship golf course, an inflatable waterpark obstacle course, tennis, bocce, pickle ball and volleyball. There are kids’ organized activities, arts and crafts programs, a restaurant, two lounges with live entertainment and themed weekends (one for beach-lovers; another for pirates!).
