About this cottage rental
Quiet location on small lake for a quiet get away or retreat - a writing, crafting, art, meditation time, or just a beautiful Maine relaxation week a few feet from the lake? What ever!!! But water sports and hiking are certainly available in the area too.
Max 2 person. Full kitchen, 3/4 bathroom with shower, front room (living and dining) overlooks Pleasant Pond. Deck with patio furniture out front door of cottage. New internet installed last year.
Cottage has 100 feet of lakefront, and is 10 steps from the clear, freshwater Maine lake with loons (and usually 2 babies!) nesting across the way. Resident great blue heron is seen quite often. I've actually seen a loon swim under our dock - very exciting to see him so close!!! Ramp to dock and stairs to water from dock, for swimming, as well as tying up kayaks or canoes, or small power boat. (Boat ramp available on other side of lake.) Swimming is refreshing, and water is clear. Fishing is available, although I'm not much help in that area.
Pond has a few power boats on the weekends, but mostly Patio boats, trolling skiffs, Kayaks and Canoes are in residence. Lake is 1 mile by 1/2 mile, with an inlet and outlet to explore, and a sand bar extends out near the middle. It is 60 ft deep just off our shore.
The cottage was totally renovated in 2019. Wood floors and knotty pine interior. A queen bed in the one bedroom, which is 'open' to the front room, with pocket doors that can be closed for privacy. Large trestle table for dining or crafting. Front of cottage is totally windows for the southern and western view of the pond , which includes exquisite sunsets (of course!!).
Access is on a well kept private road. The town of Turner is delightful, has a grocery store, a convenience store/sandwich shop, hardware, laundry, and library . The larger town of Auburn is about 15 minutes from Turner, which has more amenities as needed (larger department stores etc), including a nice artist presence. Bates College Dance festival is in full swing during mid summer. Nezinscot organic farm is 2 miles away in Turner. Turner Highlands Golf Course is up the ridge behind the cottage. Portland is about 1 hour from the cottage.. New Internet installed.

Property as described, a very cozy getaway right on the lake. Kitchen is well stocked. We canoed the lake, and some of the notable wildlife we saw included loons, barred owls, and a fisher. Great hiking nearby also. Host communicated very well, and check-in couldn't have been easier. Thank you!

Beautiful!! Everything was amazing. The property was better than described. Carol was a pleasure to deal with, super friendly and out goin! Check in was a breeze, and large dog friendly! We would not hesitate to book again with Carol!

Absolutely wonderful stay at the cottage. The place was very clean and very comfortable, it was quiet and peaceful as advertised and there was great communication with Carol, the host, who made us feel welcome and comfortable the whole time. The lake was amazing, plenty of kayaking, paddle boarding and swimming and a perfect place to relax and unwind. Will definitely be booking another stay next year.

The host Carol was professional and gracious. The cabin was clean and had a cute home feel. The bed and sofa were very comfortable. The cabin in pet friendly and the deck is great for beautiful sunsets. The access to the pond is great for kayak/canoe. The gravel road however is not great to walk with small breed dogs.Medium size active dogs ok. My small dog was happiest on the deck. I would rent again in a heartbeat.
