### Peaceful.... Lakefront Cottage... Kayakers Paradise....
This cozy cottage is situated twenty feet from the shoreline of quiet Dyer Long Pond in Jefferson ME. Closed in the winter this quiet retreat offers a rustic pine interior with all the amenities needed to enjoy your Maine vacation. Full size bed on the first floor and full size /twin bed located in the loft. The loft has ladder like steps with rails. There is also a full size futon in the living room. Located on the lower half of the lake, the cottage is nestled in dense pine and oak trees. The lake is quiet with very little power boating and is geared more towards kayaking and canoeing. It is definitely a nature lovers retreat.... good chance you will see an osprey, bald eagle, beavers, turtles, loons and many other bird species. Only 15 minutes from mid coast Maine! Come explore Damariscotta and the Penobscot Bay areas.... Close to area lighthouses and maritime museums.

#### Home away from home
Because my boyfriend's family had a summer "getaway" a few cottages down, when we rent this cottage it feels like going home again. We remember all areas of the lake and enjoy the solitude and peaceful feeling that surrounds us. Anyone that is looking to disconnect from the hectic pace of life, this is the place to go!

#### Amazing and very peaceful
The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to be able to enjoy a quiet and peaceful get-away. We used the canoe and explored the lake, where we saw loons and other wildlife. Very beautiful lake. All and all, we would be happy to comeback for another stay.

#### Quiet and beautiful Maine escape!
My friend and I stayed here for a few days. The space was very clean and it was great to have the fire pit and kayaks to use and the location on the water is peaceful and beautiful. The location was a good middle spot to go either toward Augusta or to the coastal towns. We also appreciated the host’s recommendations - we had a great breakfast one morning at the Jefferson Market. I would stay here again and recommend it for anyone who is looking to get away from the city and enjoy Maine!

#### Lovely cabin on the pond!
We had a wonderful stay at this great little spot on the pond. SO peaceful and quiet - gorgeous morning sun on the deck looking out over conservation land. The cabin had everything we needed for our few days and was exceptionally clean. The cabin is very comfortable but is small and intimate - perfect for a couple or close family! We loved paddling on the kayaks and caught numerous bass and pickerel. Great communication with Dawn leading up to the visit.

#### Perfect Trip “Home”
I grew up just down the road and this cabin was everything that I hoped for and a textbook Maine “camp” with modern comforts and the perfect location. Every time I thought we needed something I opened a drawer and there it was! 10/10! Great week!

#### Another great stay!
We couldn’t ask for a better place to decompress and spend quality family time together! My 14 and 12 year old keep us very busy throughout the year and this is our opportunity to be in the moment and take a breath. We loved swimming, fishing, kayaking, playing cards, and cooking dinners together. We spent a day in Boothbay and another day at Pemaquid Beach. It was exactly what we needed and have looked forward to since our stay last year. The property is very clean and has everything you need. Beyond compare are the sights and sounds of the water.

#### Memory Lane
My boyfriend's father passed this past May and we wanted to return to the lake that the family had a cottage on from 1971 until 2004\. It brought back a lot of memories and we were lucky enough to rent from Chris and Dawn just a few cottages down from the old cottage. Chris and Dawn have a beautiful place that allows you to disconnect from the world and enjoy nature. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We are already talking about returning next year for a longer stay than just the few days we had.

We are very grateful to Dawn and Chris for renting this wonderful cabin on the lake! The cabin is small and smartly, solidly built and perfect for 2 people..there is a loft bedroom upstairs with 2 more beds but with the access via ladder-stairs it would be best for older children. Everything was so clean on arrival as the reviews have noted and the coffee supply with sugar and creamers was a very thoughtful and welcoming touch! Although we did not really need it, the air conditioning unit is quiet and effective (and was one of the amenities that attracted us) - as well as a washer and dryer. The lake is big but very quiet and we only got to see the loons after being here for 4 days! The area is wooded but on a sunny day the light is plentiful. This is a wonderful and special place.
