Maine Cottage

Year-round Maine cottage on Barker's Pond Road. Adorable accommodations for 2 to 4 in a Maine lake setting. The cottage is in the perfect location close to everything but with a secluded feeling. Bring your paddle boards, fishing poles, and hiking boots. Excellent little cottage for Ice Fisher people! Great trails for ATVs, hiking, or biking. We provide 2 Old Town Kayaks with life jackets and paddles. The water is crystal clear and the fish are biting Summer and Winter! The water is crystal clear and perfect for swimming!

Well Worth It

Communication before, during and after was great. The location was within a short drive to many offerings. Swimming access was ideal and was very enjoyable. I would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great base point in a central location with the option to have a great time at the location as well.

Beautiful view of the pond.

Cottage was very clean, organized and equipped. For older seniors and people with disabilities it might be helpful to mentioned that the main floor has the kitchen and bathroom and the main bedroom is down one flight and the living room is up one flight.

Quiet and Relaxing

Penny & Peter were lovely hosts. They live close by but only saw them occasionally. They were there to greet us and get us settled in. There's a lovely outdoor grill space with a brand new grill and your own private dock to chill on. They had everything we needed down to the olive oil! I would definitely stay again.

Our Maine Adventure

My kids and I stayed at this little cottage on the pond. It was so peaceful and the manager was so very pleasant to talk with. We fished and the kids swam in the pond. We are definitely planning to come back in the winter because they are making a 4 season cottage ready. Everyone in the area was friendly! And the hen eggs were delicious! Thank you again!

Mini vacation

The house was the perfect spot for us. The host was very nice and we enjoyed our stay very much. It was nice to sit on the dock with a coffee in the morning or in the evening with a glass of wine. The home was very clean and cozy.

Friends getaway

We were looking for a low key friends weekend, a place to hang out by the fire and relax. Penny and Pete’s place was perfect! Clean and cozy, they provided all the amenities one would need (charcoal for grill, wood for fire, bottles of water, towels, etc) overall a great stay!

Lovely

Lovely owners, lovely cabin, lovely lake! The owners are in the cabin next door and were there to greet us when we arrived after a 12 hour drive. The cabin was just like the pictures, perfect for our little family. My husband enjoyed fishing and the provided kayaks. It's inland about half an hour which is great for visiting multiple locations. We stayed a week and went to Kennebunkport, Wells, Old Orchard Beach, Biddeford Pool and Fortunes Rocks. We went hiking, beaching, antiquing and dining. Great experience for our first trip to Maine!

Cozy Little Cabin

Nice cabin right on a little pond, was clean and well cared for. Owner met us for check in and was attentive to issue with a power outage due to a storm. The cabin had a generator, so we didn't miss a beat. The cabin had all the necessary amenities for a nice stay. Overall a good experience.

Great place to stay

We rented the cabin because our son was getting married over the weekend a short drive away. We were not there much, but wished we had more time to explore the area. The pond view in the early morning was nice and quiet. The owners were both very nice. The cabin was as described and the added beverages to the fridge and coffee supplies were greatly appreciated.

Memorable stay at Penny’s and Pete’s

We had an amazing time at this charming cottage. The place was spectacularly clean and exactly as advertised. It is cozy and charmingly decorated, complete with all the amenities one could need for a weekend getaway (or even longer stays) and a beautiful lake-side deck and natural fire place. Penny and Pete were very gracious, responsive and accommodating hosts. We would definitely come back for another relaxing getaway weekend.

The Extra Mile

If you want an extremely relaxing place, drive the extra mile into the woods to a great cabin on a beautiful pond. We were out to dinner our second night when a storm hit. On our way back to the cabin, a tree had fallen across the only entrance to the property and was impassible by car. The host was extremely quick to respond and brought us in via ATV trails on a side-by-side. Talk about service! If you want to get away from it all, stay with hosts that will go that extra mile to ensure you have everything you need.

Beautifully Secluded

This is a gorgeous small guest house great for a relaxing weekend or a place to crash after local hiking or other activities. The property owners were responsive and wonderful to work with. There is an outside hearth which you can use on request which is just GORGEOUS! The water has a bit of local flavor, so if you are picky bring a galleon of drinking water. Absolutely amazing stay!!

Excellent Vacation Rental

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! There was plenty of room for a family of four. Access to the lake was right at our back door. We enjoyed the dock and the kayaks. The owners are also very nice! Our daughter was sick on one of our days here and they offered to drive into town for us to get her medicine if needed. We lost one day of sightseeing because of her sick day, but we were able to keep ourselves and our other child entertained on the lake. Would definitely stay here again!
