8 / 10Excellent·Aug 2025
Overall all, it was fine. We enjoyed exploring the area and the location of the cottage was convenient. We did so much traveling that we didn't have time to sit outside, build a fire in the firepit in the evening, or sit on the dock. The price was reasonable.

We stayed at this cottage for five days in early July and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The cottage is centrally located in the state. It's a quick ride to Camden, Rockland and a two hours to Bar Harbor. The cottage sits on a very pretty clean lake and boat/canoe rentals are available in a campground ten minutes away. The cottage is fully furnished. The kitchen has everything you need. When we had a problem with the stove, the owner very quickly got in touch with the property manager who fixed the problem while we were out. The cottage is spacious and can easily host up to six people. The living room is welcoming and it's nice to sit in after a day exploring the beauty of Maine. There is a small grocery nearby and a well stocked Hannaford market not to far away. Finally, the area is very quiet and peaceful.

This was my 2nd trip there and it was just as great as it was last time. If it’s available on my next trip to Maine, I’d certainly rent it again.
6 / 10Average·Sep 2025
Would have loved to have more time to stay at the property and enjoy the lake - it was beautiful! The house itself was fine - my friend described it as a giant shed. But there needs to be pillow protectors on the pillows - it sucks when you're a non-smoker, haven't brought your own pillows from home, put your head down late at night to finally go to sleep and get the stench of cigarette smoke. I don't believe anyone had been smoking inside but I do believe smokers had rented the property before us and the smell was imbedded in the hair and transferred to the pillow. Yuck!!!
