West Newfield Cottage | Quaint Summer Vacation Home on Beautiful Balch Lake

2 Bedroom Cottage in West Newfield

If you are looking to escape to a summer getaway... tucked away within the sprawling pine trees and nestled upon a beautiful lake amidst the loons and the flora and fauna that is quintessential Maine ... then look no further. The HI Camp, located on beautiful Balch Lake in the Lakes Region of Southern Maine in the quaint village of West Newfield, is a lovely, newly renovated 1930's two-bedroom cottage. While the camp does not sit directly on the water, a private dock with 30 feet of shoreline is part of the property and is just a few steps away.
The home and grounds are being continually renovated, and while it boasts all of today's modern conveniences, it still maintains the antique charm of a bungalow originally built in the 1930s.
Bring your personal small watercraft to ski, fish, boat, kayak or rowboat to explore the lake (If you don't have your own, there are a single and double kayak and a rowboat for you to use), enjoy loon watching, go swimming, hike up Mt. Chicorua in neighboring New Hampshire, go outlet shopping or take a scenic 30 mile drive to Maine's famous coastline for a lobster dinner. There is much to see and do while vacationing here and it is all nearby. In addition, the Hi Camp is located in a quaint lake community of cottages called Shady Nook, which provides for your unlimited and free use of tennis courts, a beach volleyball court, basketball court and a recreation center that hosts summer events such as community cookouts, parties and celebrations, movie nights, a triathlon in September and even a weekly kid's camp. Or, you could come with a good book, relax in an Adirondack chair and take it all in!

Summary: The community is wonderful, we had lots of nice conversations with those who have been there for a long time. Elaine and Bob who welcome you are very nice and approachable. The cottage was incredibly clean. I appreciated Kristen's "openness" to use what we needed and that significant parts of the cottage were not locked off like you sometimes find with a rental. The bunk beds especially were really comfortable. The location of the cottage right by the rec center and two small community beaches is great. The loons on the lake are amazing - you are almost guaranteed to see them (at least from when we went in July 2020). It's also hard to find pet-friendly rentals so I always appreciate that, and the community was very dog-friendly. Another bonus, at least when we were there, is that there were very few bugs. There weren't many kids but that wasn't a problem for our three year old. She had a great time. Two things to think about before you rent. The wifi is pulled from another camp and is not reliable. The cottage is also across the street and blocked by another house from the water. The path down is alongside the property of the other house. While the price Kristen is asking is comparable to others in Shady Nook, just make sure you understand how the property is set up and its location to the lake. The docks in the area are very close to each other as well so if you are looking for a private more remote location this probably isn't for you.

Summary: Clean, neat, handy, well-equipped with all you need plus the sounds of nature surrounding you. It's a great get-away destination for family time, and the teal-lime green color scheme adds to the charm of this wonderful cabin with a dock across the quiet road to use whenever you want.

Summary: We had a fabulous time at the HI cabin. It was wonderful. The colors are bright and the decor welcoming down to the towels and washcloths. All teal and green! Meticulously clean and neat throughout. The sheets (we went for the linens option) were soft and pleasant. We loved the dock and the clean water was refreshing to swim in. You can sit by the water across the way and bring a cup of coffee to enjoy. You can read a book. Our grandaughter was as in love with the place as we were!

Summary: My family and I have had the pleasure of renting Hi Camp on and off for a number of years. It is indeed a gem among the pines. Balch Lake is just gorgeous. The location is conveniently located close to the White Mountains and it is not far from the ocean. Hi Camp is well appointed, cozy, clean and has everything you need to enjoy your stay. The owners Kristen, Bob and Elaine are so pleasant and helpful with anything you need. We have many fond memories of this special place. That is why we have returned so often. Shady Nook is such a family friendly community where all feel welcome. Thanks for another great stay!!

Summary: The cabin itself is beautiful, well maintained, and easy to get to. The lake is quite, clean, and private access puts it right at your fingertips. There isn’t anything more you need! The caretakers for this place live just up the hill, so if you need anything at all they are right there for you. They were friendly and professional. There is a store just a short drive away that provides most of the things you would need while staying here. There are also several other options if you are willing to drive just a bit further. This was the perfect summer getaway for me and my family. We liked it so much that we will be back in the fall!

Summary: Four gal pals stayed here and enjoyed it very much. It is well equipped and had great sleeping options. Even tho the lake is across the street we enjoyed the walk down the hill and fun having munchies and drinks in the sun on the dock. Having the part owners next door was a comfort and they were there to welcome me when I was the first to arrive. Loved the peaceful setting and heard the loons calling in the night. Loved some of the vintage touches and was happy to have wi-fi and tv (we only watched it 2 times to catch the news on Irma). My bed was very comfortable.

Summary: We loved our stay, and my husband had an opportunity to connect to beloved faces and places. We hope we will be able to return soon. The rooms were clean, neat, and there was everything you need to make the stay a pleasant one. There were several TV with cable, a laundry room, and a dishwasher as well. The hosts can't be beat, and Elaine is a published author, having written an extensive account of the camp.
