Very nice and comfortable. We are seniors and the very small shower was a bit of a challenge. Den lighting could be better. I would just remove the tv. Even on perfectly clear days the satellite reception would go out. The lake was very quiet during our stay. A nice place to read and unwind

The cottage was exactly what we expected: a super cute semi-rustic cottage in the woods. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Our teenage boys loved fishing and kayaking. The location felt extremely private. We even saw three otters swimming by one morning while enjoying coffee on the screen porch.

We had a perfect and restful vacation. We hit the weather just right, and the pond was like glass every evening for moonlit fishing. The cabin is basic but cozy and we were comfortable. Loved the quiet spot and the feeling of having the pond to ourselves. It was a wonderful vacation.

Perfect little cabin on the lake in the woods. Very private setting. Great communication with owner.

Our family spent a week here and absolutely loved this property. The cabin is small, but we were able to make it work for our family of four (2 adults, 17, 14). We considered renting a larger property further from the water, but we absolutely make the right choice.
This place is steps from the water, and the pond (lake?) was amazing. It's quiet and was a perfect place for a quiet day in between all the sight seeing we did.
Read the contract! This house has no laundry facilities and you must provide all linens and towels. We live on the West coast, and had to scramble a bit to meet this requirement. If you need laundry, there is a great full service laundromat a few miles down the road that turned our items around in just a few hours.
There's no internet here, if that's important to you. We brought a hotspot and were able to get an adequate connection for our needs (pro tip: best signal is in the kitchen window).
We would absolutely come back to this hidden gem.

The cabin was just right for one or two couples. The view of the pond is beautiful and the area very peaceful. You can hear some traffic from across the pond, but it isn’t annoying. The cabin is well furnished and comfortable. The screened porch overlooking the pond makes it easy to be out doors, but not get bitten by mosquitoes. We spent most of out time there. The area is centrally located along the mid cost and makes it easy to get to the ocean, And all the mid cost cities. We did a lot of exploring. I highly recommend the rental.

Serene retreat
Secluded lakefront cottage. Great fishing from wharf. Enjoyed the Lakeview and beautiful sunsets from screened in porch. Comfortable furniture. Small shower can be challenging. Required to bring own sheets and paper products, but this is made clear ahead of time. Kayak use included in rental. Very quiet. TV came in well, but no internet included. Verizon cell phone reception adequate. Easy drive to many great scenic & historic coastal destinations.

The cottage was fantastic. The kitchen is well equipped. Sitting on the screened in porch was awesome. We saw lots of wildlife and had a juvenile eagle fly by multiple times. It was centrally located for us (we don't mind driving) to the coastal towns. We would highly recommend this lakeside cottage.

My family and I had a wonderful low tech retreat at Deirdre's lakeside cabin over the week of July 4th (we have T-Mobile which did not have coverage at the cabin). The space was cozy and comfortable for our family of four (two adults and two school aged kids). The pond was so much fun for the kids and adults alike and we took out the kayaks several times over the course of our stay. The location is very secluded but was still convenient to interesting locations including lighthouses, historical sites, and restaurants. I highly recommend staying at this cabin if you're looking for a quiet rustic retreat.

Clean, just as listed, the owner really thought of the needs of her guests. Even such things as fans and night-lights were already there. Plenty of cups, silverware, kitchen "stuff". The view was amazing, a nice breeze from the lake, and the screened-in porch was a delight when the mosquitos arrived in the evening. A great week....

Place to unwind
For 2 weeks (August 1-15) we made The Cottage our home. What a wonderful vacation we had. It was a time for rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation. The little camp is perfect for a small family. It is nestled beautifully in the oak trees and close to the lake. The porch was our favorite spot and we spent a lot of time there. The kitchen was sufficiently appointed and suited our needs.
The best part was the lake! We were able to watch the morning awake and the day close out from the porch and it was truly beautiful. My wife was able to fish AND catch from the shore just a few steps away from the camp. The kayaks were great fun. Again, my wife fished her heart out, usually rising and fishing before breakfast and then again in the early evening.
Check-in & check-out were seamless and easy.
If you are looking for a true Maine camp experience, The Cottage is great! We will be looking to stay again next year!
