Clean cottage in a great spot. Kayaks included was a nice plus. Swimming area also works out great as the water is shallow for a long way from the shore. Only complaint would be the doors to the bedrooms and bathroom are a little funky and don't like to close correctly. Not really a problem if you are just traveling as a couple though. Overall, we enjoyed it and had a great time.

Nice and relaxing! Our dog loved the lake!

It’s exactly what I imagined when looking for a classic Maine-lake cottage. It was cozy with a great kitchen (it’s hard to find a decent-sized kitchen in a cottage). The living room was big enough to fit 2 XL dog crates and still have plenty of room. We didn’t try out all the beds, but the one we did use was very comfortable. Our family made lots of use of the kayaks and fire pit. Highland lake has incredible fishing- we reeled in lots of small and large mouth bass. The property’s little beach/dock was perfect for playing fetch with the dogs, wading in the water. The view from the cottage was beautiful and the cove very quiet. We got to see and listen to the loons and other beautiful wildlife. The cottage has a great water heater and water pressure. It’s Maine, so we can drink the water from the tap too! There is a trail system (Lowell Preserve) which was walking distance from the cottage. The dogs and I hiked 3.5 miles in there (you can mountain bike too). The location is great- it’s an easy drive to Portland and local shopping. The host was very responsive when we had a question.

We had a super relaxing time. The view is beautiful. Lake access is easy, convenient and perfect for swimming and lounging. The host also graciously offers the use of their kayaks, which we loved! The house is clean and the property is beautiful Everything we needed to disconnect and unwind. A great vacation and we will definitely be coming back!
