About this property

Walk out beach in private cove on Cobboossee Lake

T.E.S. Cottage is available for weekly rental on a pristine lake in the Winthrop Lakes Region of Maine. Enjoy a natural sandy beach in a private cove on Cobbossee Lake, a nine-mile long lake spanning East Winthrop, Monmouth, Manchester and Augusta. The cottage and beach face south, so the winds and breezes off the lake in July and August are warm and seem almost tropical.

The cottage is very comfortable with many modern conveniences, including free WiFi and cable TV, but still retains that "Maine camp" feel. It sleeps four easily and is just steps from the lake. The sandy beach allows for easy walking through the shallows into deeper water for jumping off the float and swimming. The quiet cove provides privacy and safety for children and adults who do not want a steep drop-off.

A fire pit is included for toasting marshmallows at night under the gaze of the stars above, and being serenaded by the evening loons as they pass by the front of the cottage.

This is the perfect rental if you want to enjoy swimming in clear, clean water, jumping off the float in the cove, napping in the sun, or simply sitting and reading a book in the shaded chairs or hammock overlooking the water.

Best Getaway in Maine!

This little lake house is perfect. Cozy yet roomy enough for two adults and one large, goofy dog, was fully stocked, and was incredibly charming! The area is so quiet, except for the sounds of nature (loons, raptors, owls, songbirds, geese, etc.) and an occasional motor boat. My dog thoroughly enjoyed the lake which was crystal clear and only a few steps from the front door. Not only do you have a stunning view of the lake, you're surrounded by trees! We had to pinch ourselves a few times to ensure we weren't dreaming. And within 15-20 minutes there are several small towns that each offer a different experience including rail trails, nature trails, quaint shops, and excellent eateries. The property owner, Kit, was great! She made herself available should we have needed anything and communication was perfect, prior to, during, and after our stay. We fell in love with this little house and plan to come back next year for a longer stay!

Heaven on earth

This was the second year my family has stayed at this cottage and we will certainly be back next year. The cottage is the perfect size from my family and our small pup, and our daughter lives the shallow sandy beach area in front of the cottage. We will continue to go back year after year.

Perfect family location

We just returned from our week at this quaint cottage. The cottage itself was well equipped and thoughtfully laid out. The wifi was great in case you need to work from home or watch a movie on a rainy day. The perfect size for a small family with a dog. The water was crystal clear and the beach area perfect for playing in the sand. The gradual entry is perfect for kids and for floating around. There was enough room on land for lawn chairs, horse shoes, corn hole and more. Our son caught two small mouth bass from the swim dock which was a highlight of the week. The lake is calm enough for kayaking which we found lovely. You feel like you are alone in the woods by a lake yet only 10min drive to anything you could need. We will definitely love to be back next year.

FL Gator-AU Tiger in Maine

We truly enjoyed our stay at Ms. Kit’s cabin! There’s an incredible view of the lake, it was very quiet and everything you might need is just a short drive away. The cabin was very clean and was stocked nicely with kitchen utensils, cookware, etc. Ms. Kit and her husband are such a pleasant couple! Our reservation was booked several months in advance and Ms. Kit communicated with us periodically during that time. We drove from the Florida Panhandle and the evening before we left, she made us promise to let her know when we got home!! We are definitely hoping to come back next year!

Wonderful cottage right on the lake!

My husband, our dog and I stayed for a week at Kit’s cottage. It was a beautiful location, we had many hours on the lake kayaking and fishing. The cottage was immaculate when we arrived, it had a well stocked small kitchen, and a beautiful view out of the windows. Kit was very helpful and left us with good information on the area. It was a great dog friendly place to spend a week in Maine!

Cobbossee vacation.

It was perfect!! We enjoyed every minute. Meeting Kit and Mike was a real joy, they were very social and fun to visit. Great People. The cottage was very nice with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. the lake access was really nice with a shallow sandy walk in to deeper swimming and snorkeling. Even a mooring for the boat. The only bad thing was we had to leave. Hope to have another visit soon.

I miss it already

My family of four (3 yr old and 4 yr old) had an amazing stay. The sandy beach was ideal for the kids and they couldn’t get enough of the float and the dock. We just left and miss our peaceful week and camp already! The camp was incredibly tidy and just the right size. The full sized bed was too small for my husband and me, so we used our inflatable queen in the living area, which worked fine. We LOVED our stay!

Rustic cottage in a quiet cove.

Quiet spot. Lake Cobbosseecontee a beautiful large lake. Our dog loved swimming from one boat mooring to another. She spent a lot of time in the water. It was great to be able to take her along on our fishing vacation. Saw eagles and loons daily. Great place for some down time and good memories!

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay here. The cottage was just as described. Real cute and cozy. It had everything we needed and more. It was very relaxing and quiet. Even on a chilly rainy day we were able to sit and enjoy the view of the beautiful cove right from the cottage. We enjoyed meeting and talking with the owners Kit and Mike. They are so nice and very welcoming. We look forward to renting again next year. Thank you again Kit and Mike for letting us enjoy your beautiful cottage. We loved it!

Cozy Cottage on the water

A relaxing getaway right on the water in this immaculate, well-supplied, adorable cottage. Perfect for a couple or a small family. Sitting by the lake listening to the loons, or taking our canoe out for a paddle around the lake, or staying inside to nap or play games, or cook up a meal in the well-stocked kitchen..... all ingredients for a perfectly relaxing vacation. Thank you, Kit!

About the host

Hosted by Kit Cope

This property has been in my family for 60 years, first to my aunt and then my parents. I inherited it 9 years ago after my father passed on. There are two cottages on the property. We share one as a family and rent out the other. Since we live in Mass, work only allows us to get up on most weekends and some weeks when we are lucky.

Why they chose this property

This property sits in a private cove and offers a place to get rid of all your stress. It offers a quiet place to relax, read a book, entertain friends, go swimming at a walk out beach, a boat mooring if you want to bring a boat. The loons serenade you mornings and evenings. A great place to let your kids play in the shallow water or build sand castles in the sand. Nap time is required. Boats do not come into the cove unless to fish early mornings.

What makes this property unique

Steps from the water and peaceful cove. Dogs love to fish the minnows in the shallow water and also venture out to the deaper waters 15 feet out. Neighbors are very friendly but leave you to yourself if you so desire. Driving distance to ocean beaches and local hotspots: Boothbay Harbor, Camden. Portland, Freeport outlets, mountain climbing in Camden. Local seafood available at restaurants or buy to cook in the cottage.
