About this cottage rental

Picture this; A rural dirt road leads you through the woods, past cottages dotting the edge of Sebasticook Lake. After a half mile you'll see on your left a line of boulders that set the scene for your entry to Quilt Maker Cottage. This sweet little cottage sits nestled in the trees. A horseshoe drive goes around the perimeter of the level, almost acre, lawn. Perfect for playing Corn-hole, Croquet, Badminton, Horseshoes, or just run with the kids or dog. Yes I did say dog. This cottage is only dog friendly. Sorry, no kitties, reptiles, hedgehogs, or other fancy critters allowed. Contract with owner has stipulations. This cottage is 600 square feet in size, and has been completely remodeled. Open floor plan with full size appliances in the kitchen. The pantry can hold just about anything you want to put in there. Head up the 'pure cottage' stairs to the master bedroom. A wall of windows with white sheer curtains that waft in the breeze is waiting at the top. From the Queen size bed the first thing you see in the morning and last thing you see at night is beautiful Sebasticook Lake, while you listen to the water lapping the shore and the Loons sing their songs. Why does this cottage have 'Quilt Maker' in the title? Because you will see there are handmade quilts everywhere for your warmth and to take you back in time to Grandma's house. There's even a sewing machine if you're in the mood to work on a project.:) Back downstairs is a full bathroom with tub/shower, stack washer/dryer, and a cool porthole window that opens. The living room has a queen sofa sleeper, TV, Bluray DVD player and large selection of movies. Bring your own games and hook them up to the TV. There are board games also. No WIFI as of yet but cellular service is great. No cable service but 6 -7 channels are crystal clear with one being a National channel. Large L shaped, sleeping porch, can sleep 2 more on full size bed. Also on the porch you will find a dining table for 4, 2 more sofas and 1 chair. Now the best part! 10 steps and you're in the lake! Boat Dock, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, paddle boat, and a campfire pit(wood provided) for those evenings to tell scary stories. There are two areas for outdoor dining. There is a large platform with dining table, a picnic table and a gas grill for those fun cookouts. There is a hammock, and the sunsets are remarkable! Newport is centrally located in the state of Maine and is within 90 minute drive to Bar Harbor, 30 minutes to Bangor Airport, two hours to Portland airport and is about 1 mile to Anglers Seafood Restraunt. Best seafood for the seafood lover! Sebasticook Lake is the largest lake (4,288 acres) within the confines of an individual municipality in the State of Maine. The lake provides for many recreational activities: swimming, boating, fishing, and snowmobiling. Both lake and its shores provide habitats for several wildlife species, such as sea run alewives, smelts, smallmouth bass, white perch, black crappie, and many bird species.

This was our second stay at the cottage. Very comfortable and cozy. We were able to have our dog with us which was a bonus. Close to friends and family for us. Already talking about our next visit.

The pros: Great location with great views of the lake and access to the water. The porch on the back is wonderful especially if it rains. Sleeping accommodations were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Cons: We had some troubles at check in as we had not received the code via email as the owner said. Also, it seemed a previous guest had a dog and there was still a lot of dog hair on the furniture that covered our clothes. We had several unfortunate events with the storm door glass breaking when the mowers came and clothes being stuck under the agitator in the washing machine that were beyond our control. Also heads up to those in smaller cars- the road to the house has not been leveled recently and is passable but slow going and pretty bumpy. The owner was fairly quick to respond to the glass breaking incident and the check in mishap, but his response to the laundry incident was frustrating, though it was eventually resolved. On the whole it is a nice place to stay and I think some of our experiences were just freak accidents that others won’t experience, but this is an honest review based on what occurred while we were there.

We really enjoyed our vacation in Newport. The camp was lovely and our 15 year old dog acted like a pup swimming and exploring. We had a great time and the camp is close to town if you need anything. We hope to come back soon. Thank you!!

Wonderful peaceful property, close to Acadia. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and had a great experience! Very clean and well organized, everything provided. There is some construction going on next door, but it wasn’t particularly loud so didn’t affect us at all.

Cute cottage with everything needed for a stay on a lake in Maine. Beautiful sunsets every night. Stairway to the upstairs bedroom is tight with smaller than average size stairs. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen has everything needed. Smaller compote bowls would be nice for dips/one scoop salads for smaller portions. Appliances worked great. Fridge kept everything fresh and cold. Lots of water activities with small wading area. We saw eagles and Loons every morning. Very quiet even with new construction on both sides of cottage. Lots of indoor activities in case of rain. Tv,s worked great with Roku. Several channels to choose from. Wifi worked great. No complaints except we should have stayed longer.

Perfect getaway. Feet from the water, great porch, all the ammenities you would need. Extra plus...owner provides far more than most, paper products,coffee,all kinds of soaps, spices, towels, tons of dvd movies if it's not there you probably can do without😁. The tv's wouldn't connect to the wifi so Dan went out and bought 2 new ones!! Great rental and great host. You won't be disappointed.

The location of the property was nice. It was well stocked with things we needed. The bed in the master bedroom was nice, however downstairs both the bed and pullout were very poor condition. Instead an adult slept on the sofa. This limits the number of people to comfortably sleep here.
