Norcross Cottage, quiet lakeside cottage in Maine moose country

Wonderful old 1906 house. Lots of antiques and so comfortable. Our hosts were charming and explained the history of the place and also gave us a tour of the yard, where the kayaks and boats were, the firepit and the many birds in the yard. Wish we could have stayed many days longer. Thank you for a wonderful stay......

Perfect place for us to stay for the Millinocket marathon and half!!

We had the most peaceful and relaxing stay at this beautifully and lovingly maintained property. Faye and Don were incredibly warm and friendly hosts, and provided us with some fascinating history of the area and home, as well as great tips on where to sightsee. Everything was so cozy and comfortable, and the setting is absolutely picturesque and gorgeous everywhere you look. This is truly a gem of a place and we both can't wait to come back again for another visit, for a longer period of time!

Great stay!

The Norcross Cottage was perfect for us my son-in-law and I with his four children ranging in age from 7 to 15. The house was immaculate and well furnished with space for all to eat together, play games, and sleep comfortably. The outdoor setting on a lake with kayaks, canoes, and paddleboat expanded our world even further.Faye and Donny could not have been more welcoming and enriched our stay through their warmth and knowledge.Staying here enabled us to easily access Baxter Stare Park, then return happy hikers to this welcoming setting. A definite return destination!

We truly enjoyed our stay at Faye and Donnie’s quaint little cottage. The property is beautiful and serene. The area is very quiet and has a spectacular view of the lake. It’s located about five minutes from town and 15 minutes from all the activities and restaurants at NEOC. Faye and Donnie couldn’t have been better host’s. We would definitely stay at this property again and highly recommend it to those considering staying in Millinocket.

Quiet,cute,comfy. Excellent communication with Faye and David. We loved sitting on the bedroom deck enjoying the view and listening to the birds. A nice central location for activities in and near Baxter. Thanks for a great stay.

Spent one week at this wonderful place that really felt like home. So comfortable, on a beautiful lake and close to everything northern Maine has to offer. Hosts are terrific and we’d definitely consider staying again.

The hosts were wonderful. We enjoyed talking with them and they provided great advice of where to go to enjoy the area.

Can’t describe how perfect this place is. Thank you for having us!

Faye and Donny are amazing hosts. They are available and present and keep to themselves unless you need info or want to ask them about all things local! Wifi was amazing and the house has everything you need on a beautiful cove with ample kayaks canoe and paddleboat! Kirchen is well appointed but a tad ackward. Only potential issue is the hpuse is older (historic and very cool also) so dint expect a cozy couch or lounge space etc. We dont stay inside while in the area so it didnt matter and our daughter found the wicker couch perfect for reading while we packed up for the day. I think the hospitality makes up for the age of house but to each their own. Also there isnt laundry...Faye tried to change the listing but it hasnt undated so fyi.

Perfect base camp for a Katahdin hike. Faye and Donnie are fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Told us where to spot moose and we saw 2 exactly where and when they told us. Lake is full of smallmouth as well

Kayaking was a highlight Peaceful, pretty settingComfortable bedsHosts are fun to talk to, responsive and kind

We enjoyed the place - it had everything we needed. The hosts, Faye and Donny, were so friendly and kind. Donny spent a lot of time giving us directions to find ice caves and places to see moose even when we got there quite late the first night! The lakeside location is peaceful and they have canoes and kayaks. If we ever travel to Maine again we will stay here again!

I was a bit surprised by the duplex style accommodations, but it turned out well. Our hosts were friendly and gave us our privacy throughout our stay. I wouldn't think twice about staying with them again.

Wonderful! Faye and Don are the best!!!!!

Very comfortable beds, incredibly hospitable hosts, great place!

The property was clean, with direct access to a lake. Hosts were very nice.

This is the 2nd time we stayed with Donny and Faye and we love them and their place! So nice and hospitable, clean and cozy, plenty of room and amenities. Timely cleaning of snow and walkway and the house was nice and warm and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again !

We enjoyed our stay very much—beautiful scenery and the cottage was delightful. Our host was so helpful with suggestions for touring, and we were very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This property was perfect for our visit to Maine. It’s close to the town of Millinocket and Baxter State Park. It’s right on the lake with access to canoes and kayaks. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. It was clean and comfortable.

What a delight! Unexpected treasure on our travels. Beautiful and super quiet spot on the water. Lovely home oozing with character and charm. Easy WiFi and cable as well as books and interesting artifacts all while simultaneously being plenty spacious for us who love to “unfurl on arrival” types. They had everything we needed from games, kayak & paddleboat, and more. The star gazing/bird watching veranda gave us a beautiful view of the Milky Way. And we found the lakes/ponds to be pure magic. Loved our sunset time near 5 Lakes Lodge, dinners at the Sawmill and friendly local folk in town Definitely hope to return!

Exactly as advertised. Clean property. On a lake and access to canoes and kayaks was wonderful. Very quiet and relaxing
