Great space and location. Very clean cabin with all the amenities you need. The enclosed back porch facing the lake and the master bedroom with a wall of windows facing the lake were our favorite features!

Back Again
Sweet, cozy cottage right on the shore of Lake Sebasticook. My husband and I have stayed here several times and will be back, hopefully, for many more visits. It's small but provides a comfortable place to unwind. It's quiet. Morning coffee on the sunporch and sunset next to the campfire are the best ! Stairs inside are steep and are not suitable for children or those with mobility issues. The outside has many, many tree roots with uneven terrain so care must be taken when walking next to the cabin. Lots of space for playing games and such on the back lawn and the small front yard is great for reading and R&R. Restaurants, fast food, grocery stores ( Walmart and Hannaford) are located within a couple of miles. Bangor is 30 min drive and Bar Harbor is a couple of hours away if you fancy a day trip. Pets are welcome. Washer and dryer are provided. There is a pod-type coffee maker and microwave but no dishwasher. Overall a nice little place for a couple to spend a relaxing vacation. by the the campfire areCoffeeTheCofthesun

Wonderful lakeside cottage with lots of privacy
The only problem we had was finding the driveway since there was a neighborhood party going on and there were cars parked at the head of the driveway. Other than that, the cottage was perfect and the owner very helpful. I would point out the staircase to the bedroom is rather steep and narrow and perhaps would be difficult for some older folks.

The cottage is cozy, comfy and in great shape. Clearly, guests have been considered in the planning. Nothing hard about staying there. And, of couse, the Lake is magnificent. Loved seeing all the ways the weather played with the sky over the water!

Property was clean, very well represented on the VRBO site. The lake is so clear it was amazing. The property manager was very responsive and gave us some good tips on local dining. Very relaxing. We would definitely recommend it and would definitely go back ourselves.

Mixed review
The lake was beautiful with clear water and a small beach area. The cabin was well appointed and comfortable. Sleeping on the screened in porch was a treat. Upstair bedroom was quite warm. Could use additional tower fan. Comfortable queen bed. The outside equipment could use some updating. 3 of the 5 water crafts had a broken part or two. Lounge chairs would be a great addition, however, overall a really nice rental cottage. Close neighbors but very friendly.

Great swimming spot
The camp’s proximity to the water, screened porch and open plan are all excellent. We planned on sleeping on the porch, as the bathroom is downstairs; the “double bed” on the porch is really a double cot so it was impossible to sleep well. If the owner puts in a real, comfortable double bed on the porch, we would definitely return for another stay.

July 4th, 2024 week
We booked through Bring Fido (VRBO) to include our small, friendly dog. We were looking for a small cottage witth direct lake access. We're NH natives & have been to most parts of Maine. We had never stayed in this area before. In the past have used VRBO also so booking was pretty straight forward. Depending on where you're driving from, it's a bit of a ride. Cottage is not too far from gas/groceries though. Going up Route 95 is most direct for us but decided to take the back way which is more scenic. The road leading to cottage can be very muddy & bumpy, we have 4 wheel drive. We got the cottage code shortly before we got there to get in. The cottage was clean & had A/C on 1st floor with ceiling fans throughout, There are sliders to back porch which has ceiling fans & 3 way lake views. There are small sized steps with railing leading up to bedroom, on left there is old door mounted. (Use caution) which has windows overlooking the lake. There seems to be plenty of outlets throughout & lighting (labeled). The appliances were full sized and clean with well stocked kitchen & pantry. There were plenty of beach & bath towels. Weather was sunny & mid 80's all week, perfect for swimming & boating. There was also the bonus of a dock since we brought our canoe & cottage 2 kayaks which we used & (paddleboards need updating). Neighbors on either side nearby with some woods in between (both working on their places). Overall enjoyed views, lake, firepit, loons & peace.

The pros: Great location with great views of the lake and access to the water. The porch on the back is wonderful especially if it rains. Sleeping accommodations were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. Cons: We had some troubles at check in as we had not received the code via email as the owner said. Also, it seemed a previous guest had a dog and there was still a lot of dog hair on the furniture that covered our clothes. We had several unfortunate events with the storm door glass breaking when the mowers came and clothes being stuck under the agitator in the washing machine that were beyond our control. Also heads up to those in smaller cars- the road to the house has not been leveled recently and is passable but slow going and pretty bumpy. The owner was fairly quick to respond to the glass breaking incident and the check in mishap, but his response to the laundry incident was frustrating, though it was eventually resolved. On the whole it is a nice place to stay and I think some of our experiences were just freak accidents that others won’t experience, but this is an honest review based on what occurred while we were there.

We really enjoyed our vacation in Newport. The camp was lovely and our 15 year old dog acted like a pup swimming and exploring. We had a great time and the camp is close to town if you need anything. We hope to come back soon. Thank you!!

Wonderful peaceful property, close to Acadia. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and had a great experience! Very clean and well organized, everything provided. There is some construction going on next door, but it wasn’t particularly loud so didn’t affect us at all.

Quiet and charming
Cute cottage with everything needed for a stay on a lake in Maine. Beautiful sunsets every night. Stairway to the upstairs bedroom is tight with smaller than average size stairs. Beds were comfortable. Kitchen has everything needed. Smaller compote bowls would be nice for dips/one scoop salads for smaller portions. Appliances worked great. Fridge kept everything fresh and cold. Lots of water activities with small wading area. We saw eagles and Loons every morning. Very quiet even with new construction on both sides of cottage. Lots of indoor activities in case of rain. Tv,s worked great with Roku. Several channels to choose from. Wifi worked great. No complaints except we should have stayed longer.

Perfect getaway. Feet from the water, great porch, all the ammenities you would need. Extra plus...owner provides far more than most, paper products,coffee,all kinds of soaps, spices, towels, tons of dvd movies if it's not there you probably can do without😁. The tv's wouldn't connect to the wifi so Dan went out and bought 2 new ones!! Great rental and great host. You won't be disappointed.

The location of the property was nice. It was well stocked with things we needed. The bed in the master bedroom was nice, however downstairs both the bed and pullout were very poor condition. Instead an adult slept on the sofa. This limits the number of people to comfortably sleep here.

Lake life at its best
This is our 8th time going to this cottage We have been too many cottages through out the years. This is by far the best. Dan has everything you would need for a relaxing stay , plus many water toys. Everyday you can go out on the dock and watch the Bald eagles in the tree a few hundred ft away. We plan on coming back next year just have to pick the dates.
