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.

We love coming to this camp every summer with the family. It's a beautiful location, great for kids, and pet friendly which is perfect for us. It's rustic, cozy, and has everything you need to just unplug and enjoy nature. Unfortunately, this year we did not get to enjoy the quiet getaway we've come to expect. The neighbors had very loud parties 4 separate nights we here there. While I can appreciate a fun time, it was hard to look past revving engines, screaming 'woohoos', and blasting music well past midnight while the kids were trying to sleep. This is the first year we had this issue so I'm not sure if it was just bad timing or something to expect in the future. We still had a nice vacation overall, but the excessively loud nights put a damper on the experience.

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.
