Step inside to discover why guests love the beautifully appointed lake cottage decor that blends classic coastal charm with modern comfort. When you aren't out exploring, you'll love relaxing on the private front and back decks, soaking in the pristine saltwater hot tub, and sleeping soundly in your premium Casper Cooling King bed.
• THE SETTING
• Located on a peaceful neighborhood road with virtually no traffic, the cottage offers a private, sunny atmosphere surrounded by woods on three sides. A flat, semi-private lane leads you directly to our shared lake launch access.
• LAKEFRONT & LIFESTYLE
• Easy Water Access: Launch your canoe, kayak, or paddle-board directly into the pristine, crystal-clear waters of the "Middle Lake" section (across from Treasure and Bass Islands). The water here is incredibly clean, inviting, and perfect for a refreshing dip or an easy paddle.
• The "Loon Serenade": Our coveted lake is home to a healthy population of about 20 resident loons. You will be mesmerized by their hauntingly beautiful hoots, yodels, tremolos, and wails echoing across the water. They return year after year to feed in these clear waters and raise their chicks. Listen closely an hour after sunset and again near midnight for an unforgettable, authentic Maine serenade.
• THE COTTAGE
• Charming Interiors: Enjoy the entire cottage to yourselves with flat, private rear parking. Deck entry to the cottage door is up eight wide, broad steps; large 18" treads and low 6" risers make carrying luggage a breeze. The space features a beautifully decorated living area with French doors opening to the front porch, where two classic rocking chairs await.
• Boutique Comforts: The king bedroom features a premium Casper Cooling Hybrid mattress wrapped in luxury linens. A full shower bath and a beautifully styled, fully equipped eat-in kitchen provide everything you need for a seamless stay.
• Outdoor Living: The large wrap-around deck is your private oasis, featuring an outdoor dining set, a Green Egg grill, and our sparkling, well-maintained saltwater hot tub.
• PREMIUM AMENITIES
• Climate Controlled: Ductless split dual-header AC and heat in both the living area and bedroom keeps you perfectly comfortable in any season.
• Fully Stocked: We provide all household needs—from plush bedding and beach towels to premium shampoo, conditioner, body soap, and kitchen spices. Forgot your toothbrush? No worries, we always keep a spare set in the bathroom.
• Pre-Arrival Provisioning: Save time and skip the grocery lines! Request this service two weeks in advance for a nominal fee, and we will have your local grocery order beautifully stocked in the cottage before you arrive.
• THE BEST OF MAINE LAKES & COAST
• Proximity to Portland: Positioned perfectly for effortless day-trips, the cottage sits just 30 miles from downtown Portland and its airport. You can easily spend your mornings paddling on a crystal-clear lake and your evenings experiencing the best of Maine's vibrant coast.
• The Cape Elizabeth Lighthouse, and Freeport shopping are also within 30 miles; Kennebunkport in 60 miles, and Mount Washington in 90.
• Award-Winning Dining: Portland was recently voted the #1 Small City Food Scene in the Country by Food & Wine magazine. Foodies and travelers fly in from all over the world to experience the city's legendary working waterfront restaurants, award-winning bakeries, and craft breweries—making our cottage the ultimate home base for the perfect "lakes and lines" vacation.
• Ask us about: Our favorite day trips, including the Old Port, quintessential lobster pounds, best of antiquing, and mountain hiking trails.
• IMPORTANT HOUSE NOTES
• Age Policy: To maintain a serene, quiet atmosphere for our guests and neighbors, we are unable to host children under the age of 13. This is a strict policy that cannot be changed under any circumstances.
• Pet Policy: To keep the cottage allergen-free, we cannot accommodate pets (including small, well-behaved ones). Likewise, this is a strict policy that cannot be changed.
• The View: While we are directly across the road from the lake, lush summer foliage naturally obscures approximately 80% of the water view from the cottage itself. However, the sounds of the loons (and our local resident barred owl!) won't escape you.
• Booking: Summer rentals run weekly with flexible arrivals on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. Exception: The July 4th holiday week offers flexible check-in/out, and occasional last-minute openings may have a 5-night minimum. Please see the calendar for specifics.
• Cleaning: 100% of your cleaning fee goes directly to our local, woman-owned cleaning business. Professional staffing is limited in our lake community, and we appreciate you helping us support local businesses!
• SALTWATER HOT TUB CARE
• Our Standard of Care: Our pristine, sparkling saltwater hot tub is one of the most loved features of the cottage. To ensure it stays crystal clear and perfectly balanced for your arrival, we maintain a very high standard of care, fully servicing the tub between every guest.
• The Refundable Tub Deposit: We collect a $350 hot tub deposit prior to arrival. This deposit is 100% fully refundable immediately after checkout, provided the tub and water quality indicate the hot tub rules were followed.
• Keeping it Sparkling: Cosmetic lotions, sunblocks, soaps, and beach sand quickly cloud the water, accumulate residue along the tub perimeter, and can permanently ruin the expensive filter cartridges. Because of this, we kindly require all guests to briefly shower-rinse before soaking and use the outdoor foot bath to wash sand off their feet before entering. Clear, easy guidelines are posted right on the refrigerator.
• Our Balancing Act: When these simple, considerate steps are followed, the water balance remains refreshing and perfect, requiring only a standard, routine balance check between guests.
• When the Deposit is Retained: Neglecting these pre-rinsing rules can necessitate an immediate, labor-intensive shutdown. This process includes draining the tub, scrubbing the interior, replacing damaged filters, and refilling the system for the next arrival. In those rare instances, we must unfortunately retain a portion or all of the $350 deposit to cover these direct maintenance costs.
