Quiet - Romantic - Secluded Cottage on Lake

Dramatically set on the side of a mountain, overlooking a sparkling clean, spring-fed 12-acre lake, our cottage is perfect for honeymooners or nature lovers-- or anyone who appreciates peace and quiet. It's tucked away down a private road-- secluded, quiet and private, surrounded by the beauty of Maine's woods. There's a horse stable on our road with beautiful horses including miniatures.

The cottage features a high deck facing our 200 feet of natural lake frontage with dock and canoe. In the dappled sunlight or under a star-blasted night sky, it’s utterly private, on 3 wooded acres.

Please note: We rent only to (non-smoking) adults. And since the bedroom is up a flight of stairs, our cottage is not suitable for handicapped individuals.

The 2005-built cottage has mahogany flooring, knotty pine paneling, and big windows with pretty views. The sunny living room has comfortable, furniture and a cozy dining area next to a cast iron heat stove (ceramic log, propane fireplace).

Due to changes in climate, I've added a heat pump with air conditioning and heating. Summers in Maine have become warmer and even sometimes humid, so air conditioning is important for a good night's rest.

Upstairs, a romantic "loft" bedroom overlooks the living room and has a custom-made, queen-size platform bed with a firm mattress with added memory foam topper. All bedding is supplied. Windows upstairs offer a view of the lake and treetops.

There's a small, quiet room at the back of the house with a futon couch/bed.

The big bathroom features a washer/dryer, a walk-in shower and a large, custom made, pine cabinet, inset with a Mexican ceramic sink and with roomy drawers for towel and extra blanket storage. Towels are supplied. Good, fresh water comes from a deep, private well and a water filter pitcher is also supplied.

In the compact kitchen are new appliances including a microwave and smooth-top range. (No dishwasher besides yourself.) Good lighting with an extra LED light over the stove. Quality cookware, knives, dishes, glassware-- fully equipped except for your groceries.

There’s a CD/radio/cassette player, a 13" TV (satellite dish connection) and DVD player with a several DVDs on hand. There’s satellite internet, and very good cell phone reception. Books, maps and brochures are supplied.

The canoe at our dock is equipped with life jackets and paddles, and the water is very clean for swimming and good for fishing-- mainly bass and pickerel.

Several more photos available on request-- interior, exterior, lake view panorama, etc...

Getaway from it all
The place had everything we needed, was comfortable bright and clean. Surrounded by trees and plenty of sun or shade as preferred. The canoe was easy to get to and launch. The natural stone walk down to the pond was energizing. The fish were definitely jumping. Mid week very quiet and private. Weekend pretty much the same.

Delightful getaway
This adorable cabin was perfect for my husband and I. The environment was everything we hoped for and the location was perfect for day trips and exploring the area. They even resurfaced the dirt road the week we arrived!

Nice small house on a quiet pond
House was exactly as described. Very clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen well stocked. Great for a relaxing getaway and home base to explore other towns. Only recommendation would be some maintenance on path to pond.

Secluded is the best part!
My husband and I came here for our honeymoon. We enjoyed the seclusion of the property and the immediate access to the pond. My husband enjoyed using the property's canoe to fish and I loved the wake-free water for paddleboarding. We were close enough to the coast to make day trips. Great location!

Great fall get away.
Thoroughly enjoyed the extended stay in the woods. We were there to unwind and visit family and this let us do both very nicely. Well equipped, clean, cozy, and welcoming. Thanks for the hospitality!

Not exactly ON a lake
The way down needs more accommodation. My husband made it down once with difficulty. I made it half way once. We spent the week on the deck looking at the lake. The cottage was beautiful, and better provisioned than any previous rental, but we came for the lake. Never even inflated our tubes.

Peaceful
Clean, well equipped, cozy and quiet. Location was perfect for us to simply relax, read, cook. Kayaked much at Three Mile Pond, played a round of golf at Western View. Both 15 minutes away. Maine Cabin Masters was our draw. The coast is not far but chose to stick close and enjoy the cottage.

Beautiful oasis
Ginger’s place is even sweeter than it looks in the pictures. The setting is idyllic and the house is set up with guests in mind with a well stocked kitchen and even shelving to store your own food and equipment in the kitchen and toiletries in the bathroom. The way to the lake is a tiny bit of a climb but anything more structured than the few stepping stones here and there would ruin its charm. There are only a few other residents around the lake but there was some construction going on directly across the lake starting on Thursday of our stay: sawing and nail guns etc which broke up the serenity. Hopefully their construction will end soon. It is a beautiful and otherwise peaceful place!
