Portage Lakeside Cabins

Lakefront in Portage Lake, Maine.

Summer Camp / Sporting CampLakefront

Five cabins on Portage Lake, deep in Aroostook County, rented as a whole property for a wedding weekend rather than by the hour. The distinguishing thing here is that everyone sleeps on site: the cabins take up to 37 people between them, so the guest list and the accommodation list are the same list.

That changes the shape of the day. Instead of a few hours and a drive home, you get the lakefront to yourselves for the weekend — gathering by the water, a campfire with firewood provided, kayaks, and the kind of quiet that Aroostook does better than anywhere else in the state.

The property was Jackson's Lakeshore Rentals before the Morneault family took it on in October 2023. Worth knowing: their standard rental minimums are two nights at a weekend and three on a holiday weekend, so a wedding here is a multi-night booking by design.

A dash means the venue doesn't publish that number and we haven't confirmed it. Seated-with-dancing is usually well below the plain seated figure — it's the number worth asking about.
