About this property

Wake up on Long Lake to spectacular sun rises and the serenading of loons. This charming cottage faces East and sits directly across the water from the village of Harrison. Borrow one of two kayaks or the paddle board and head to Harrison for a meal or ice cream.

This cozy cottage is 800 square feet and includes a balcony overlooking the water and 2 air-conditioned bedrooms and laundry room on the lower level. The upper level (where you enter) is an open-floor layout with a sofa and a futon that sleeps two. The well-stocked kitchen includes a dishwasher.

Bring or rent a boat and tie it up to the dock for the week. Looking for an all-day boating adventure? Leave the dock and boat to Frye Island in Sebago Lake through the Songo Lock...one of the last manual locks in the country. Long Lake connects to Brady Pond, Crooked River, the Lock, and then Sebago Lake and Frye Island. A highlight for any boater in the Lakes Region! Or stay in Long Lake and enjoy 11 miles of lake. Swimming, fishing, boating, kayaking, paddleboarding...so many choices!

Yard and dock is shared with the owner but unless she's heading out on her pontoon boat or taking a 5 minute dip after a run, you'll have the yard/dock to yourself during your stay.

The town of Bridgton is 3 1/2 miles away and is the quintessential small town with great restaurants, a book store, gift shops, an art gallery, movie theater, grocery store, nail salon, pharmacy and more. And don't miss the drive-in movie theater!

Hawk Mountain overlooking Long Lake is an easy 20 minute hike with gorgeous views, including Mount Washington! Hawk Mountain is a 10 minute drive from the cottage.

The owner lives next door and can easily provide support if any issues arise. Don't miss jetting out on your boat and enjoying Long Lake this summer!

A sweet cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our one-week stay. The cottage was spic and span when we arrived (and we hope not too much worse for wear when we left! ) We could dock our boat right down the hill. Our only disappointment was that Julia was abroad on her own vacation so we didn't cross paths.

Great time.

Very clean and welcoming cottage. All the small touches were much appreciated. Beautiful location. Enjoyed using the kayaks & paddle boards on the lake. Explored the town and local brewery. Decent proximity to Pinkham Notch for a planned hike to summit. Would definitely rebook. 👍

Our 2nd Stay Here!!! Love it!

We loved it so much last year we came back for a second stay. This property and location are just perfect. Julia, the owner and host, is so warm and welcoming and genuinely excited to share her beautiful property. This is a terrific spot to get away from it all and enjoy some peace and quiet, with still plenty to do close by and on property. I cannot recommend this place enough!

Perfect

Just what we were looking for! We wanted somewhere close to the mountain for skiing, but also where we could ice skate and ice fish. This couldn't have been more perfect. Julia was so kind and accommodating and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. The property was clean and perfectly supplied. We'll be booking again.

Best Family Vacation Ever!

Our family had a wonderful week at Julia's Cosmo's Cottage. The location and cottage are perfect, and Long Lake is beautiful. Julia is an amazing and very thoughtful host. She knows exactly what a family needs to enjoy a lake front cottage vacation and provides it all and more. It was great having her right next door. We chatted with her at least once a day, and it seemed like she was an old friend who we had known for years. We spent the entire week on the water swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and tubing. The huge smiles on our kids faces when they got to go tubing for the first time was priceless. When our week was over, our kids did not want to leave and told us they want to come back to Julia's cottage every year. It really was the best family vacation ever. We got to relax and recharge while spending lots of quality time together as a family making memories that will last a lifetime. We will definitely be back.

Relaxing Family Vacation

My husband and I stayed here with our 2 young adult sons. We absolutely loved everything about this property. Loved taking our little boat across the lake for lunch. Lots of hiking trails in the area to explore. Julia, the owner, is so sweet and helpful. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The lake views were just amazing. We will definitely be back!

Wonderful lake cottage for young kids

This was the most exceptionally maintained rental we’ve ever had. A wonderful cottage in excellent condition, spotlessly clean. Our host had thought out every need for a stay and provided for it. The property is excellent with a nice yard on the lakeshore, sandy area for kids to swim, large accessible dock and a great fire pit. The host living right next door is a major plus - she is very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay, but still manages to make the rental very private. The cottage itself is well fitted out and very comfortable. Our family of four also made use of the living area futon as a third bedroom and it worked great. Both nearby towns offer fun for rainy days and the lake is beautiful. A wonderful place for a week away!

Perfect little cottage!

This little cottage had everything we needed including the s’mores kit, which was such a nice touch. The inside was super clean and comfortable. Long Lake is wonderful with beautiful clear water. My son enjoyed fishing right from the dock. Julia is a great hostess, right there if you need anything but not intrusive at all. Thank you for such a memorable vacation.

Great weekend on Long Lake

Judy is an amazing host. The house is super clean and had everything- linens, extra towels, first aid kit (which we used when my son got a cut), s’mores kit for the fire pit, the laundry room (kids got wet every chance they got). We rented a boat at Gateway and the dock was great, and the kids just liked swimming around the dock area. Kayaking to ice cream was also so fun. We had great weather and we’re grateful for the A/C at night. Judy pointed us to Restaurants and they were great. She was there when we needed something, but we also had tons of privacy and enjoyed being outside in the yard and sitting on the lake. The yard also looks amazing with new landscaping. Great place to stay!

Excellent lake house in Bridgton

Meticulously kept and renovated lake house at the North end of Long Lake, a short distance from the small town of Harrison. 2 bedroom and a futon. Clean, with new utilities wifi, tv, oven dishwasher and grill. Back yard leads with fire pit leads to dock and lake. 2 kayaks included. Owner lives next door and super helpful. Lake is gorgous. There is some boat traffic, but not bad. Plenty of wild live, short drive to Harrison, Bridgeton and Naples. Easy kayak trip to the icecream store in Harrison was a hit with the kids.

Lovely stay at Julia's Long Lake Cottage

Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Julia's Long Lake Cottage. The cottage is compact, but well designed and equipped with many extras, including a wide selection of k-cups and a complete s'mores kit. (We really enjoyed our campfire!)The reservation and check-in process was very easy and Julia is very responsive to questions. The waterfront area is very peaceful, with adirondack chairs on the dock and grass. There are some rocks and grasses in the access area but they are easy to swim around for enjoyable swims. The cottage is conveniently located within easy walking and boating distance of Harrison and is only a few miles from Bridgton as well. Julia is a great host and we recommend staying at her cottage!

Excellent Summer Vacation with Family

This place really is a gem. It is small, but for our family (myself, my wife, my parents, and our 2 kids ages 5 & 7) it was perfect. The lake is gorgeous, great fishing, and the location is perfect. We walked into town, got ice cream at the Creamery and any thing else we needed we found at The Tie Up or the Harrison General Store (all right next to eachother). Long Lake is spectacular and this home was perfect for us. Julia was right next door and couldn't have been nicer and more accomadating. Everything was perfect.

Relaxation and fun at the lake

We enjoyed a wonderful week at Julia’s cottage with our twin 6 year old boys. The house was perfect for our family of 4 (we had our boys share the queen bed). Upon arrival the house was spotlessly clean and nicely cool (which was great since it was 90 degrees outside). The views of the lake from the upstairs and the sound of loon calls in the night were lovely. Although Julia was away the week we were there, she checked in on us via message and was very friendly and responsive. The cottage is not overly large, but the layout is very nice and the furniture was quite comfortable. The lake was perfect for our 6 year olds. There is a sandy bottom near the shore and calm warm water for floating, kayaking, canoeing, paddle boarding, and swimming. Although the lake was busy with powerboats on the weekend, they stuck to the middle of the lake and the area near the house felt very protected. During the weekdays the lake was quiet. Ideal for a relaxing day by the lake with our kids. Julia also recommended a wonderful hike, and we enjoyed fires in the fire pit. The only thing we didn’t use was the lawn games we brought, as the lawn down to the water was quite wet, but we didn’t miss those as the lake was so great. There is a great washer and dryer and a new grill at the house. We enjoyed both of those. Overall, the house was just as we had hoped it would be, and the lake was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Julia

I moved to Bridgton in 2018 and quickly fell in love with Long Lake, small town living and the peace and quiet in this beautiful cove. I spent the last 8 years in Los Angeles and realized it was time to create a life that included nature, peace, and quiet. While I loved living close to the beach in Santa Monica, I was tired of spending hours fighting traffic on the 405 and the 10. I decided during a long run in the remote trails of Malibu that it was time to go. Absolutely haven't looked back - I wake up to the sounds of loons and can't believe I get to live in such a beautiful location year round.

Why they chose this property

I've always wanted to live on the water - it's been my vision ever since growing up in Grand Rapids MI and visiting spectacular Lake Michigan as a child. For the past 20 years we've held an annual family reunion on the water and it's always where I can breathe more easily and see life's grander gifts. When friends encouraged me to move to Maine, I immediately fell in love with all the lakes and ponds. The moment I walked onto the property (albeit in mid-January with a frozen lake and snow-covered lawn) I knew it was meant to be. A home I get to live in year round with 2 Corgis and a guest cottage next door I get to share with my family, friends and renters.

What makes this property unique

This property is on a quiet road in a cove on Long Lake - a couple of blocks from a boat launch. It's directly across from the village of Harrison from which you'll hear the church bells ringing. It's quiet on this side of the lake because most traffic is on the opposite side heading to restaurants or getting gas. I'm discovering new reasons to love Lyons Cove Way every day!
