About this property

Our love for the great outdoors, the solitude, the miles of undeveloped shoreline, are things that we do not take for granted.

The amazing wildlife, moose, deer, loons and eagles are just some of the things you will see while visiting.

Whether it is kayaking, boating, canoeing or just finding the perfect cove or island for a picnic, you will find the lack of seeing boat after boat and bustling refreshing. In the evening sit back and relax by our lakeside fire pit on the swing.

If this 7x2 mile lake is not enough to keep you busy and entertained you can also reach by boat, kayak or canoe another 11 lakes. Can be seen on Google Earth just type in the address bar Junior Lake Maine and it will take you to Boyce cove.

Keywords: Private, cozy lakefront cabin. Relax, fish, swim, kayak, canoe, boat or hike.

Family Fun

Tracy and Mike's cabin is a wonderful place to spend quality time with family. It is private with a beautiful lakefront view, but very accessible, even in the winter. Very clean, warm, charming cabin with modern amenities!

This is my happy place

Second time we were here. Love the lake and the kayaks. Love the porch. Love the house. I think there’s a new bed in the main bedroom, which was very comfortable. Pretty isolated, but that’s a plus for us!

Lovely cabin

Our family absolutely loved staying here. We spent the whole time either in the water, kayaking or fishing. The kids played so hard that they were ready for bed as soon as it got dark. The hosts were were great, if we needed anything, they were available. We want to stay there again.

Tranquility plus

We were very fortunate to rent this property at peak foliage time....The leaves were spectacular and reflected beautifully in the crystal clear waters of Junior Lake. The house provided everything we needed--a fully equipped kitchen, a propane heater, an outdoor grill, WiFi, washer/dryer and kayaks. For the outdoorsman, there are both opportunities to hunt and fish nearby. We saw and heard loons daily (often echoing in the peace and quiet) and saw a bald eagle several times. And, the house was dog friendly as was the entry point into the lake which our Black Lab enjoyed daily.

Loved this remote cabin on the lake

My partner, my dog and I loved our stay in Maine. The cozy cabin was great. Kitchen was well stocked, which was helpful since grocery store was 45 minutes away ( though a general store was closer). I loved the deck, which had a swing and a spectacular view of the lake. There’s a hammock, fire pit and a large swing down by the lake as well. Lots of kayaks and a canoe. We loved kayaking on the lake. Very relaxing and peaceful getaway. There.are lots of trees so very secluded..Lots of birds too. One issue was that the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms are difficult to access bc of ladder-like stairs. Main bedroom has double bed which was a bit tight so would have liked for other beds to be easier to access. Internet access was acceptable but not great. Last few miles of road are not paved - a bit rough to navigate the first time but you get used to it.. Certainly none of these were dealbreakers! I’d definitely stay again.

A wonderful stay––it won't be our last!

We loved our time at this peaceful cabin on serene, undeveloped Junior Lake. We were within a short paddle to an island where there's a terrific tent camping site, and felt as if the network of lake gave us endless exploration possibilities. The cabin was just as simple, rustic, and well-equipped as we'd hoped. We were incredibly grateful that owners Tracy and Mike live just a little ways down the road and we could text them with our needs or questions––they always responded immediately when we had any questions at all! Our two weeks of vacation were even better than we'd hoped, and we were sad to leave. Can't wait to return!

Our third stay

As always we highly enjoyed our stay here. It is so relaxing and beautiful. We continue to come back because of the tranquility this place has. Junior lake is so beautiful. Just sitting on the dock was one of our favorite things to do every day. The hardest part is leaving. We look forward to returning again.

Little piece of heaven!

The cottage was clean and had everything you would need. It also had games and puzzles for rainy days. The lake was peaceful and breathtaking from the dock in the morning. A cup of coffee, listening to the loons and watching the sunrise there is nothing like it!! A little piece of heaven. The best way to unwind and get away. Thank you Tracy and Mike for sharing your cottage.

Family Vacation

Perfect spot for a family vacation in the woods of Maine. Owners are very accommodating and attentive to detail. Cottage is clean and well supplied. Access to area lakes makes for full days of outings and quiet evenings a great time to wind down.

Fantastic vacation

The cabin had everything we needed, all we had to bring was food and suitcase. We kayak and fished all three lakes, ate blueberries from the shore, roasted hot dogs over the open fire, swam and snorkled. The bass fishing was amazing. We saw loons with their young and other ducks. Took a walk down the road to see a deer standing in another roadway staring at us. Watched the red squirrels everyday and had quality family time together. The cabin was immaculate, very welcoming and peaceful.

Relaxing get away

The Lakefront Retreat on Junior Lake was a perfect get away. The cabin is secluded in a private setting, giving us plenty of time to enjoy the beauty of the area and nature. We enjoyed kayaking the lake, listening to the loons calling at night and a beautiful sunset. Picked the perfect night for a campfire and made s'mores. Not enough time to explore all the connecting lakes. The cabin was well furnished and stocked with everything we needed. Next time we will come a little later in the season, mid-May can be cool, wasn't expecting snow on May 23rd. Glad we stopped in Lincoln for groceries on the way in, not used to being so far from a town (45 minutes). The owners were very helpful with any questions we had.

Memorial Day Weekend 2014

Our family had a fantastic time at the Lakefront Retreat. The owners are very welcoming. The cabin and the property is beautifully maintained in a quiet, private setting. The cabin has all the amenities of home. Junior Lake is a pristine, beautiful lake. The fishing for Salmon was excellent. The owners were very knowledgeable about the area and where and how to catch fish. Within a short drive you can get gas, bait, groceries. The owners and the people in the area are happy to help with any assistance you may need. It is a wonderful retreat location when you want to get away from it all. We will definitely make return visits. We highly recommend this Lakefront Retreat on Junior Lake.

True Beauty

I would highly recommend this cozy, clean, well maintained private cabin. I enjoyed the magnificent reflections of the forrested hillsides and clouds on the clear lake. The sunrise in the morning with the calls of loons over a cup of coffee on the deck were undescribable. There was hardly any traffic on this lake, so while I was paddling and fishing I had the whole lake to myself. This tranquil, country cabin and area can be described as true nature. The owners were kind, helpful and knowledgeable of the area. You have the modern conviences right there for your needs and all the aspects of nature at your finger tips. You have the best of both worlds at this exclusive getaway. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy this wonderful place. I had a great time and will be returning.

Soothing Get Away

One of the best places I've ever stayed! The owners are friendly and accomodating and supply you with just about everything you need (short of food) for you to have an amazing vacation. We started every morning with coffee on the dock, and then spent most of the days kayaking, fishing and exploring the surrounding areas. The property is extremely clean & well maintained. I would recommend this property to anyone, or...maybe just keep it to myself. I will definately be staying here again.

Perfect Maine Vacation

This is a wonderful place for a quiet retreat but with lots of opportunity to explore the Maine lakes. The cabin was great with everything that we needed and a wonderful deck with amazing views over the lake. Kayaks are provided and there are more places to explore in the lake and adjacent lakes than we had time. Our boys loved to explore the woods and swim in the lake right off the pier.
