Little Landing Retreat | Lakefront · Dock · Kayaks

Summary:
Slow down, breathe deep, and let the lake carry your worries away. At Little Landing Retreat, mornings start with loons calling across the water, and nights end under a sky full of stars. With a cozy interior, private dock, kayaks, and paddleboards, this peaceful haven invites you to reconnect—with nature, with loved ones, and with yourself.

The Space:
Step into a cozy lakeside hideaway where comfort meets classic Maine charm. Little Landing Retreat is a two-story property designed to make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. With views of Cobbossee Lake greeting you through the windows, you’ll settle into a space that feels peaceful, thoughtful, and full of character.

The open-concept layout welcomes you with a sunlit living area featuring a couch and two comfy chairs — perfect for relaxing after a day on the water. Just behind, a full kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare meals, including a Keurig plumbed directly to the water line so you’ll never run out of water for your morning brew. A farmhouse-style dining table offers a great place for meals, games, or just good conversation.

Off the kitchen is a full bathroom with a bathtub/shower combo, plush towels, and even a washer and dryer to make extended stays easy. Around the corner, a narrow staircase leads to the upstairs loft — an intimate A-frame space with two queen-size beds, a nightstand, and a bench by the window overlooking the lake. While the loft is cozy and low-ceilinged (especially at the sides), most guests find it charming and perfect for a restful night.

To keep things comfortable year-round, the retreat is equipped with both monitor heating and mini-split units on each floor for heating and cooling. Whether you’re visiting for summer lake days, a fall foliage getaway, or winter ice fishing, the space is ready to welcome you.

Just outside, a large deck with a gas grill and seating area leads down to your own private lakefront lawn. Enjoy direct access to Cobbossee Lake with a personal dock for swimming, fishing, or launching kayaks and canoes. Spend your evenings by the firepit, listening to the loons and taking in the calm beauty of this quiet cove.

Guest Access:
Guests have full access to everything the property offers, including the private deck, gas grill, lakeside lawn, and personal dock. Enjoy the complimentary kayaks, canoe, paddle boards, and life jackets provided for your use during your stay.

Whether you’re casting a line from the dock, paddling across the cove, or enjoying a lakeside bonfire at the fire pit, the space is yours to relax and explore. During the winter months, guests are also welcome to snowmobile or ice skate right from the shoreline when conditions allow.

There’s even a marina within walking distance where you can rent your favorite boat or jet ski — and dock it right in front of the retreat for the full lakefront experience.

The Neighborhood:
Little Landing Retreat feels tucked away in its own peaceful world, but you’re just a short drive from some of central Maine’s most charming spots. Downtown Hallowell offers a lively, artsy atmosphere with live music venues, riverfront restaurants, and antique shops.

In Augusta, Maine’s capital, you’ll find cozy cafés, local boutiques, walking trails along the Kennebec River, and convenient amenities.

When you’re ready for a bit of adventure or a night out, it’s all just minutes away — then it’s back to your lakeside retreat for quiet nights under the stars.

Getting Around:
The retreat sits right on the cove of Cobbossee Lake with a public boat launch just minutes away and private docking on-site.

Within walking distance, you’ll find a marina with baked goods, sandwiches, and essentials, plus the White Duck Restaurant and Pub.

The retreat is easily accessible by car and offers parking on-site for your convenience.

Other Things to Note:
There’s a $195 pet fee per stay. Pets are welcome, but please let us know in advance. We ask that pets stay off the furniture and that guests clean up after them inside and out. The public boat landing is just minutes away, and you can dock right in front of the cottage.
A nearby marina offers boat and jet ski rentals, a bakery, convenience items, and the White Duck Restaurant & Pub, all within walking distance. Year-round activities include boating, swimming, paddle boarding, snowmobiling, and ice fishing right from the property.

Interaction with Guests:
We’re always just a message or call away. Our goal is for you to have the perfect stay, and we’ll check in periodically to ensure everything is going just right and that you have everything you need.

Lakeside vacation

What a very nice property that was exactly as described. We had a great week enjoying the lake views, kayaking and just relaxing. Feras was very helpful and the cottage was really well maintained with excellent amenities. The whole family, including the dog, absolutely enjoyed our stay!

Weekend Stay with Family

Just a lovely weekend! Upon arrival, the cottage was impeccably clean with spa touches throughout, including a handwritten note and treats;) Feras and his family definitely went above and beyond to make our stay very comfortable. The view is stunning, and the surroundings peaceful and serene. This was our best experience so far, our only regret was that we didn’t extend our reservation, but next time we will!

Wonderful Lakeside Retreat

I had a great stay at this charming lakeside cottage. The property is beautifully maintained and exudes a cozy, welcoming vibe. The interior was spotless and well-appointed with all the modern amenities one could need. The kitchen was fully equipped making it easy to prepare meals and the living area was perfect for relaxing in the evening. The outdoor space was a highlight. I kept my boat on the dock and spent my days fishing Lake Cobbossee. We spent evenings around the fire pit with the lake as our backdrop. Communication with Feras was seamless. He was very responsive and provided detailed information about the property and local attractions. Highly recommend!

Immaculate, new and modern little cabin

We had a great stay over Labor Day weekend. Myself and wife, plus a tall teenager and a dog. The place must have been recently renovated inside and out. Everything was new and tastefully decorated. We didn't do a lot of cooking (just breakfast) but the kitchen was very functional and also seemed just built. I would definitely recommend a stay. The only negative was the tight quarters upstairs and the stairway up, although the main floor was very open and "full sized" including the bathroom. We walked 2 minutes to the marina and rented a pontoon boat for the day, that we easily tied up to the private dock. The lawn in front was perfect for hanging out and we kayaked daily.
