About this property

Authentic Northern Maine Lakeside Retreat. Live Like A Local!

Located in beautiful Northern Maine, on a crystal clear lake on the end of a secluded road. Our super cute 2 bedroom cottage boasts all of the comforts you would expect from a cozy retreat, at the same time, living like a local. Paddle the lake in your canoe, stopping at the rope swing or packing a picnic for Blueberry Island or walk to the Country Club for a round of golf and lunch.
The cottage features two bedrooms, cozy living room with a wood stove, kitchen amenities for almost any size or type meal and a dining table on the screen porch give the authentic Maine lake living feeling.
If you're looking to unwind, unplug and fall asleep to the lonely tremelo of loons, this is the spot. The summer camps on the lake use lake water for drinking, bathing and cooking. If this is unsuitable for your system, plan to bring your own drinking water.

Peaceful cottage on beautiful lake
If you want peace and wuiet this cabin is for you. At the end of the lake there is little noise except for the loons on the water. All the furnishings are adequate and comfortable. The best features are the screened in porch for enjoying your meals and the deck for sirring, reading and relaxing. If you are looking for a low key, relaxing vacation this quiet yet close to town location has it all.

Peaceful cottage on the lake
If you are looking for peace and quiet in a beautiful location this is it. Everything you need is right handy (although no tv and internet -fine with me). Lovely screened in porch for eating, beautiful deck on which to watch the loons and almost no noise. Love it.

Quiet Maine camp like you'd read about! Relatively close to town and a bit of action- but not taken over by speed boats and party barges!

Fantastic Family Camp Experience
We loved everything about our stay at this camp! It has everything you would need for a wonderful camp experience. We really enjoyed the privacy provided by being at the end of the lake. The listing stated it included a canoe and paddle, which were not there. This wasn't a big issue for us, as we brought our own fishing kayak, but may be a bigger deal for others. The big front window and screened in patio provided a beautiful view of the lake, even on cooler or rainy days. As a lifelong Maine resident, and having grown up spending time at my grandparents' camp, I can definitely attest that this property truly is an authentic Maine camp! We will definitely be back next summer.

Maine Camp Adventure
Typical Maine lake camp experience. Clean and tidy place. Near local rural golf course and gourmet restaurant. Loon family with 2 offspring serenaded us nightly. No tv but wh needs that. Would have liked a canoe or boat with this rental package to cruise the lake. Host is very helpfu and cordial l when contacted

Beautiful stay
Our over all experience here at the cabin was beautiful. The cabin in itself was not. It is a cabin so with that in mind, the glass is single pane. Meaning you can stand on the otherside and have a conversation. It is not well insulated hence the wood stove. The cabin was not cleaned prior to our arrival. Not sure if that was on the "maintenance manager" or the last guests. The red couch was covered in dog hair and black stains make sure you bring furniture covers. I went to Walmart thats about 10min down the road for alot of things. The toilet seat was broken. The rugs throughout the cabin were soiled. The cabin is about 3hrs from Acadia Park. We went for the day and came back woke up the next morning and found the paddle boat we left in the water was gone. (the canoe in the listing has a crack in the front. Paddle boat was provided.) I text Alison in a frantic manner as we thought someone had taken it. Turns out the maintenance man did and didn't bring it back. He put it in storage for the year. That stinks, that was part of the listing/perks as to why we chose this place. That was the 3rd day we were there. We had 2 days left and no boat or anything to go back out into the lake with. There's a picnic table out on the island. You can putz around the calm lake on the boat. It's really nice , it is. We ended up cutting our vacation short due to the above reasonings.

Great location
We had a wonderful stay here, would've like it a little cleaner and the canoe we were told was there for us to use had a big hole in the bottom so we couldn't use it. We did enjoy ourselves.

This cabin is at the end of a lake with wonderful privacy, quiet and loons. The swimming to a large granite rock across the small lake was fabulous.

Slice of heaven
Everything was just perfect. The privacy at the end of the lake was incredible. The water was shallow enough to not worry about my kids by it. The property had everything we needed and then some! We saw loons, bald eagles, bunnies, etc. My husband and sons caught a bunch of fish! We swam, we had s’mores, hotdogs on the fire both indoors and out. We explored blueberry island and had a picnic We enjoyed dinner and ice cream at nearby Anderson Mills Dairy Bar The golf club restaurant has amazing food and service as well! The cell service was unavailable in the house, but came back as soon as outside. It was honestly perfect. It kept us off our phones and spending quality time together! Our boys cried as we left and are already asking when we can go back! Thank you so much for giving us the opportunity for such amazing memories at your oasis :)

Quiet and relaxing
If you wanna just chill by the lake, spend time with family or even play some golf then this is perfect. There is only one house nearby so it’s extremely quiet. You are only 12 minutes away from a Downtown that has everything you need. No internet or TV so it forces you to put down the electronics and get away from work for the time you are there. My cell phone worked fine and I was able to stream a Celtics game using cellular data. I highly recommend staying here. My favorite parts were having a wood stove and two big recliners that face the lake. Let’s just say I fell asleep for naps often. Much needed retreat. I have already recommended this property to other friends that wanna get away.

Perfection
This little cabin is a slice of heaven. Lakeside, woodside, no other camps in sight, and a world of wildlife to listen to and watch. No need bring your own binoculars, the camp has at least one pair. Everything works like a charm and clean up is a breeze in this camp tht harkens back to simpler times.

Quiet peaceful Maine cabin on the lake
Perfect relaxing experience on the quiet end of a beautiful Maine lake. Loons, geese, eagles, are part of the landscape. Close to town. A wonderful refreshing respite.
