Dramatically set on the side of a mountain, overlooking a sparkling clean, spring-fed 12-acre lake, our cottage is perfect for honeymooners or nature lovers-- or anyone who appreciates peace and quiet. It's tucked away down a private road-- secluded, quiet and private, surrounded by the beauty of Maine's woods. There's a horse stable on our road with beautiful horses including miniatures.

The cottage features a high deck facing our 200 feet of natural lake frontage with dock and canoe.In the dappled sunlight or under a star-blasted night sky, it’s utterly private, on 3 wooded acres.

Please note: We rent only to (non-smoking) adults. And since the bedroom is up a flight of stairs, our cottage is not suitable for handicapped individuals.

The 2005-built cottage has mahogany flooring, knotty pine paneling, and big windows with pretty views. The sunny living room has comfortable, furniture and a cozy dining area next to a cast iron heat stove (ceramic log, propane fireplace).

Due to changes in climate, I've added a heat pump with air conditioning and heating. Summers in Maine have become warmer and even sometimes humid, so air conditioning is important for a good night's rest.

Upstairs, a romantic loft bedroom overlooks the living room and has a custom-made, queen-size platform bed with a firm mattress with added memory foam topper. All bedding is supplied. Windows upstairs offer a view of the lake and treetops.

There's a small, quiet room at the back of the house with a futon couch/bed.

The big bathroom features a washer/dryer, a walk-in shower and a large, custom made, pine cabinet, inset with a Mexican ceramic sink and with roomy drawers for towel and extra blanket storage. Towels are supplied. Good, fresh water comes from a deep, private well and a water filter pitcher is also supplied.

In the compact kitchen are new appliances including a microwave and smooth-top range. (No dishwasher besides yourself.) Good lighting with an extra LED light over the stove. Quality cookware, knives, dishes, glassware-- fully equipped except for your groceries.

There’s a CD/radio/cassette player, a 13 TV (satellite dish connection) and DVD player with a several DVDs on hand. There’s satellite internet, and very good cell phone reception. Books, maps and brochures are supplied.

The canoe at our dock is equipped with life jackets and paddles, and the water is very clean for swimming and good for fishing-- mainly bass and pickerel.

Several more photos available on request-- interior, exterior, lake view panorama, etc...

    House was great! Really enjoyed out stay, Wonderful layout of place- small, but doesn't feel small. Only downside was the drive in on the dirt road - not grated yet, so it had many large potholes. Luckily not a problem for out vehicle.

    This property is in a very quiet and secluded area. The dirt road in is maintained well and the scenery is beautiful. The home is beautiful, loved the decor, and had wifi and Roku tv. We found the walk down to the lake was too steep for us to walk safely (late 70’s) so we sat on the deck. We know the area well as we have family living in Freedom. The access to groceries is close as well as gas. Other stores are in Augusta. Went to Bar Harbor and Cadillac Mountain which was beautiful. Highly recommend this home and owner. Will stay again.

    We had a wonderful stay at this charming cottage. The peace and quiet were exactly what we needed, and the serene pond view off the back deck made every morning and evening feel like a peace of heaven. The kitchen was thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need, making cooking a pleasure. Every detail of this cottage contributed to a truly relaxing getaway. We couldn't have asked for more.

    filthy, living room did not look as advertised, dirt and hair on couch, dirt, bugs and windows. It's a pity since the windows faced the woods and lake and the breeze would have been fantastic if it was so terribly dirty and smelled musty.

    It was a wonderful stay at this home on a lake! Exactly as described. The lake and area the home is, is very quiet and away from other houses. Great experience and would love to visit again!

    The place had everything we needed, was comfortable bright and clean. Surrounded by trees and plenty of sun or shade as preferred. The canoe was easy to get to and launch. The natural stone walk down to the pond was energizing. The fish were definitely jumping. Mid week very quiet and private. Weekend pretty much the same.

    This adorable cabin was perfect for my husband and I. The environment was everything we hoped for and the location was perfect for day trips and exploring the area. They even resurfaced the dirt road the week we arrived!

    House was exactly as described. Very clean and nicely decorated. Kitchen well stocked. Great for a relaxing getaway and home base to explore other towns. Only recommendation would be some maintenance on path to pond.
