About this property

Lakeside cottage with boats, grill, firepit, pet and Kid Friendly

Blueberry Cove Cottage, located on Tripp Lake in Southern Maine (Poland, ME), a few hours north of Boston, is the perfect place to get away from it all! Everything you need is right here. The rustic interior creates a comfortable, homey atmosphere and is fully equipped to insure it feels like home. While there is a tv, DVDs, and board games to fill your time inside, outside is where the fun is. Take a relaxing swim out to the raft or float on the lake in the canoe or paddleboat. Fishing is great here, from the dock or out on the lake! If you prefer to relax, grab one of the many books for some reading from the comfort of the hammock or a beachside rocking chair. The gas grill and giant picnic table will make meals easy and fun. As the evening rolls around, listen for the calls of the loons while making smores over the fire pit. You will be sure to fall in love with the beauty and tranquility of the lake and all it has to offer.

If you are up for a little adventure, some nearby attractions include the Maine Wildlife Park, two golf courses, the Oxford Casino, Oxford Plains Speedway and the beautiful causeway in Naples, home of the Songo River Queen. Within an hour you can visit Freeport, ME, home to LL Bean and numerous other outlet stores, the bustling downtown of Portland, ME, Casco Bay, Sebago Lake State Park, Bradbury Mountain State Park for light hiking, or the lovely Bethel, Maine area. While we prefer the beauty of Maine, we can’t deny the greatness of Mount Washington and all the area has to offer, such as outlet shopping, hiking, Storyland and Santa’s Village, all within a 1 ½ hour drive through beautiful scenery.

We sincerely hope you choose to join us at Blueberry Cove Cottage. If you do, please note a few things:

- The cottage is rustic and has no heat or air-conditioning. We have many fans and extra blankets to accommodate the typical New England weather changes during the summer season.
- The water comes from the lake and is not for drinking, brushing teeth or cooking. Bathing and washing dishes is fine. We will provide a gallon of fresh drinking water to get you started.
- We are a non-smoking cottage.
- We do accept pets on a case-by-case basis. Please let us know what type of pet and breed you have.

Rustic gem!

This dog friendly 2BR cottage is right on crystal clear Tripp Lake, with a large screened in porch/family room. It is small but very well appointed and maintained. The weekend we were there it was very quiet, and we had the beach to ourselves. Enjoyed kayaking, hiking nearby, and hearing the loons daily. Owners and manager were very thoughtful and responsive. Highly recommend!

Perfect, peaceful summer getaway

My husband and I took our two toddlers here for the week and we all had an amazing time. The lake was so peaceful and we all enjoyed using the canoe and paddleboat to explore. We saw LOTS of fish, loons, and even a bald eagle. The kids had plenty of room to run and play, and especially enjoyed picking the plentiful blueberries. There was plenty of outdoor seating and the hammock was a real plus. The cabin was very clean and cute, the perfect size for us. The owners made sure it was stocked with anything we might need (soap, dishes, towels, etc). We'll be back!

Perfect secluded getaway!

This cabin was the perfect, fully stocked with all appliances we could need. We had an 11 year old with us who loved the canoe and the hammock, and the fire pit and smoors! We spent some time hiking and took a trip to the wildlife park. We mostly ate in the cabin, using the kitchen and the grill outside. It was a little chilly with no heating, which we were expecting but the beds were equipped with electric blankets and loads of spare blankets to it wasn't an issue. Carol was a great host and answer all questions and checked din on us as well while we were there. We will hopefully be back in the summer when its a little warmer so we can swim in the lake!

Wonderful Little Cabin!

This was a beautiful, cute little home to spend a long weekend in. The inside was a perfect rustic setting with many books & dvds to choose from on rainy days. The outside was beautiful, the water was warm and the hammock, grill, & eating area was just what we needed. The hosts were absolutely amazing to work with and Carol was very kind and had many suggestions for things to do. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cabin getaway on a pond!

Glorious lake experience!

Our family loved being in and on the lake. Great marsh areas to explore in the canoe. Our 12 year old granddaughter loved taking the paddle boat out to the raft. Great wildlife: loons frequently, an amazing water snake which we saw while fishing, and saw evidence of and heard a beaver. Plus the host provided the fixings for s’mores!

Perfect summer get away

What a wonderful little spot. The lake is so beautiful and the shallow beach is perfect for kids. It felt very private and all the amenities like boats and grill and large picnic table made out outdoor living easy and fun. We brought dogs and they were easily contained on the property. The house is comfy and clean. We watched movies and played cards and games--all of which were provided. The owner was very attentive though we didn't need anything while we were there. There is a grocery 5 minutes down the road. This was the perfect summer get away. Having had such a good time it's easier to face going back to school and work now that fall is coming. Definately recommend this lovely little slice of heaven.

Peaceful

We stayed for almost a week with a 1 1/2 year old. The cottage worked out great. The water was very clean and warm, and we enjoyed using the paddle boat and canoe. The cottage is a good size for our family of three and the owners made sure the place was stocked and ready for us to arrive. They were very attentive to all our needs both prior to arrival and were quick to answer a few questions we had once we arrived. I would recommend staying here to friends.

Maximum Relaxation

I hadn't been to Maine since I was maybe 9 years old and had always wanted the full experience whenever it was I returned. This place was definitely the best I could have hoped for. I flew up to Boston and met up with a friend and then we made the journey north. It was the perfect size for the two of us. There was lots of helpful info on the area just inside. Watching the sunset from the beach isn't something I could soon forget. Tripp lake is beautiful and we spent many hours canoeing around, swimming or laying on the floating dock. I had never before been in water so clean and refreshing. Definitely check out the little zoo they have up here and make a day trip out to Portland. I plan on returning ASAP Definitely give this place a try!

About the host

Hosted by Jeffrey Lee

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

We love this property because the lake is right out the window, the beach and the raft are great for swimming and it's so nice to use the paddle boat and canoe. It's also a great location. We love hiking at the network of trails at Poland Springs, visiting the 24-hour LLBean store in Freeport, going to Portland for shopping or exploring, going to the Maine Wildlife Park down the road. In the right season, the blueberry picking is terrific right outside the door!

What makes this property unique

This is a cozy cottage and we have some families or couples who enjoy returning, creating their own family tradition with a special vacation spot. The lake is serene and beautiful with wildlife and a lovely cove to explore. It's wonderful place for children of any age and a wonderful place for a romantic getaway for couples. If you casinos, the Oxford one is about 15 minutes away. We happily accept most pets and all children! :)
