Cozy Maine Lakeside Family Cottage

A cozy summer cottage on David Pond in an idyllic spot for camp fires, board games, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and canoeing. Perfect for reconnecting with family and friends. The space Welcome to our cottage! It has everything you need except your food and clothes. Enjoy sunrise breakfasts on our screened-in porch, a cookout by the grill and picnic table after a refreshing swim, and a peaceful canoe ride around the lake. A floating dock just off the shore is perfect for a quick swim. Good news — you can drink water straight from the tap, so no need to bring your own! A quick note: This is our personal home, where we live for several months of the year tucked away in the woods. Because of its natural setting, it’s not a pristine, hotel-like rental—there may be some dirt, insects, and the everyday reminders of living close to nature. We hope you’ll enjoy its authentic, cozy feel and the peaceful beauty of the surroundings. CHECK-OUT Please check out by 10:00 AM. We need time to prepare the property for our next guests. Thank you for your understanding. QUIET HOURS To respect the peace and privacy of all guests and neighbors, no loud music, shouting, or yelling is allowed between 10:00 PM and 8:00 AM.
