Renovated in 2024, this private getaway offers the best of both Maines: a peaceful wooded lakefront setting with convenient access to the coastal attractions of the Midcoast region. Explore Medomak Pond’s 240 acres with the on-site kayaks, fish from the dock, take a swim, or just sit on the deck and enjoy the views.

With an optimal mix of modern amenities and traditional Maine “camp” design, the cottage has beautiful lake and woodland views from the house, front deck,and screened porch. Added in the last two years: new kitchen, shower, washer/dryer, air conditioning, fiber optic internet wifi, flooring, front door, windows, deck, roof, some furniture, etc. And now featuring a sleeping loft with two twin beds and ship’s ladder access under a 4-1/2' ceiling.

Accommodation for six guests includes: one queen bed in a private bedroom; a twin daybed with a second twin trundle in the second bedroom; two twin beds in the loft; and one full sofa bed in the living room.

Located right at the water's edge on a private dirt drive, Lakeside Cottage amenities include: dock with swim ladder, exclusive use of two kayaks (one single, one tandem), stand-up paddleboard (upon request), deck chairs, picnic table, and propane grill.

Access to the driveway and floating dock is shared between the Lakeside Cottage and the owner’s home, about 300 feet farther up the driveway. These two homes share about twelve acres of woods on a dead-end road, providing peace and privacy.

    Pretty much the quintessential Maine lake experience. Humble, but well maintained cottage on a lovely lake, only a 10-15 minute drive from groceries, restaurants, etc. We were just there as a couple, but it would be perfect for a family of 4.

    In one word, tranquility! Amazing property, literally only a few steps to the lake shore. Very peaceful, yet many activities are within a 2 hour and closer drive. Highly recommend staying here. The only drawback is the lack of clothes washer and dryer on site. Its a 15 minute drive to a laundromat in town. Not a big deal or a deal breaker though.

    Very nice and comfortable. We are seniors and the very small shower was a bit of a challenge. Den lighting could be better. I would just remove the tv. Even on perfectly clear days the satellite reception would go out. The lake was very quiet during our stay. A nice place to read and unwind

    The cottage was exactly what we expected: a super cute semi-rustic cottage in the woods. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Our teenage boys loved fishing and kayaking. The location felt extremely private. We even saw three otters swimming by one morning while enjoying coffee on the screen porch.
