About this cottage rental

Located in beautiful Northern Maine, on a crystal clear lake on the end of a secluded road. Our super cute 2 bedroom cottage boasts all of the comforts you would expect from a cozy retreat, at the same time, living like a local. Paddle the lake in your canoe, stopping at the rope swing or packing a picnic for Blueberry Island or walk to the Country Club for a round of golf and lunch.
The cottage features two bedrooms, cozy living room with a wood stove, kitchen amenities for almost any size or type meal and a dining table on the screen porch give the authentic Maine lake living feeling.
If you're looking to unwind, unplug and fall asleep to the lonely tremelo of loons, this is the spot. The summer camps on the lake use lake water for drinking, bathing and cooking. If this is unsuitable for your system, plan to bring your own drinking water.

This is such a nice little camp for a family vacation. The lake is so peaceful and great for swimming with young kids. There is lots to explore kayaking and some very friendly loons out on the water! The cell service can be pretty spotty but the Wi-Fi works great. Really enjoyed being in a spot that felt so private yet still close to town for groceries and restaurants. This was the third time our family stayed here and second time bringing our dog. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Bither cottage. It is rustic but comfortable. The waterfront is easily accessible and a great place for kids to play and swim. We hope to return another time.

This is an old fashioned camp, but with the update of electricity and indoor plumbing. It maintains that rustic camp life feel with a little more comfort. I will note that this is a bring your own sheets and towels rental.

Our over all experience here at the cabin was beautiful. The cabin in itself was not. It is a cabin so with that in mind, the glass is single pane. Meaning you can stand on the otherside and have a conversation. It is not well insulated hence the wood stove. The cabin was not cleaned prior to our arrival. Not sure if that was on the "maintenance manager" or the last guests. The red couch was covered in dog hair and black stains make sure you bring furniture covers. I went to Walmart thats about 10min down the road for alot of things. The toilet seat was broken. The rugs throughout the cabin were soiled. The cabin is about 3hrs from Acadia Park. We went for the day and came back woke up the next morning and found the paddle boat we left in the water was gone. (the canoe in the listing has a crack in the front. Paddle boat was provided.) I text Alison in a frantic manner as we thought someone had taken it. Turns out the maintenance man did and didn't bring it back. He put it in storage for the year. That stinks, that was part of the listing/perks as to why we chose this place. That was the 3rd day we were there. We had 2 days left and no boat or anything to go back out into the lake with. There's a picnic table out on the island. You can putz around the calm lake on the boat. It's really nice , it is. We ended up cutting our vacation short due to the above reasonings.
