Ark - Gull Pond home with walk in area to the water

Ark is a picturesque waterfront lodge nestled on the shores of Gull Pond in Rangeley, Maine, offering a private retreat in one of Maine's most scenic regions. Surrounded by tranquil waters and lush forest, this spacious property is perfect for families and groups looking to escape into nature while enjoying the comfort of a well-equipped lodge. With direct water access and breathtaking views, Ark provides an ideal setting for a peaceful and memorable getaway.

The lodge combines classic Maine charm with modern convenience, featuring a unique layout that includes both an old-style main lodge and a newer addition. The main lodge retains the warmth and nostalgia of a traditional camp, with wood finishes, a cozy fireplace, and comfortable furnishings that create a welcoming atmosphere. The newer addition expands the space with a second kitchen, dining, and living area, making Ark perfect for larger groups who want both shared gathering areas and plenty of room to spread out.

Outside, Ark offers multiple ways to enjoy the natural surroundings. A spacious deck overlooks the sparkling waters of Gull Pond, making it an ideal spot for morning coffee, outdoor dining, or simply soaking up the views. Guests can also take advantage of the private dock for swimming, kayaking, or just relaxing by the water's edge. With its stunning location, thoughtful design, and ample space, Ark offers a beautiful and private escape for those looking to enjoy Rangeley's pristine lake region.

Amazing Stay
Our family would highly recommend “The Ark”. The space is massive and easily accommodates large parties. Two kitchens and two living rooms is unheard of - this rental offers that. The waterfront is also ideal with sandy bottom, weedless swimming and plenty of space. We enjoyed canoeing and fishing, lawn games and relaxation. If you’re planning a vacation for several people, this is the place to book!

This house is absolutely beautiful! We enjoyed every minute of it. The house is spacious, plenty of room for everyone to sleep comfortably. It had everything we needed, very clean and well maintained. The lake is nice and clean. Very relaxing, we went kayaking, canoeing, swimming. Shallow area great for kids. Management office was great to work with, someone is always available. We would definitely go back. We had a great family vacation, we couldn’t be happier!
