Enjoy the quiet evenings on the screened porch or sit out on the porch swing and stargaze. This rustic cottage also offers delightful weekends in early season June and late September when the beaches are quieter and more laid back. This wonderful home on pond offers a bounty of activities.


Go kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and swimming. Visit numerous nearby sites such as the charming fishing village of Ogunquit with its spectacular ocean walk (Marginal Way), outlet shopping in Kittery, or arcades, taffy pull and Wild Kingdom Amusement Park at Short Sands Beach. Take a picnic to the ocean only ten minutes away and enjoy the view of the Nubble Lighthouse. Nearby are 22 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.Great Fall get away.Foilage.

The kids can play on the clean, white-sand beaches, in the amusement arcades, or at the beautiful new playground.

This wonderful vacation cottage has something for everyone. It's a fabulous family vacation place which has sleeping quarters for up to a maximum of 4 adults and 3 children or less adults and more children.

Easy check in, gorgeous spot - and so close! We loved the hot tub and the lake, and found the house with everything we needed to enjoy a week of relaxation with our two kids, 10 and 13. Thank you, Matt and Kathy! We had a great time!

A great property!

This property checked all the boxes for us: peaceful, water views and access, secluded but with easy access to ocean, shopping, and restaurants, and an overall relaxing space. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would rent this again!

The view of the pond is the nicest part. The screen porch was also very nice. The water in the camp is disgusting. It smells like raw sewage. There was only one smoke detector that I could see. The bunk bed room where my 3 year old son would have stayed was unsafe. When you shut the door the bunk bed would just about block you from opening the door. When you drive in it looks like a junk yard. There is a van that has a sign in it stating “owners camping van”. The tires are sunk in the ground. There is also a jeep. I’m guessing it’s a “camping jeep” as well. I see a lot of good reviews for this property which I just can’t understand. Some of the reviews say if you don’t like rustic go to a 5 star hotel. Well I can say this is NOT rustic. The dock is wobbly and seemingly unsafe. There were plastic toys everywhere which seemed great at first. Until we notice many were broken and had sharp plastic edges. Overall this is not a place to have young children. If there was any maintenance done to this property we could not tell. We stayed here for one night out of four nights we were supposed to. My main concerns were the wiring of the “camp” mixed with the lack of fire detectors. Also there is a faint smell of mold. They do not want you taking a bath, which I wouldn’t want to anyway. This property needs a lot of TLC. Beds were terribly uncomfortable. This property IS NOT REFUNDABLE for a REASON!
This is what you see when you drive in!
And this is the other side when you drive in. The shrubs cover up a lot of garbage
It might not drain if you took a bath. But the water smells so bad you wouldn’t want to.
To the right of the skylight window here is the only smoke detector I saw.

Just what we needed!

My family, including my parents, stayed here for 6 days and loved every minute of it! My father has just completed a round of chemotherapy so we were looking for a place to rest, relax, and enjoy some family time and this was perfect. We were able to play bocce and cornhole, but also just sit in the sunroom to admire the beautiful pond views! The hot tub was a huge hit for my husband, who used it every night! So happy with our stay!!

Cottage on the pond

We had a wonderful two night stay in this cozy cottage on the pond. Great location with an amazing water view and a great fire pit and outdoor area you're super close to both York and ogunquit for fun! The cottage sleeps 5 comfortably and has all the basics you need. Be aware it IS a cottage and more rustic but the location and outdoor space makes it worth the stay, not too mention the hot tub!!! Take a soak and look up at the stars!

Ants

The property was nice, but was filled with ants! The were all over the place including on beds etc. Also, the hot tub was filthy and needed cleaning. The dock and furniture around the fire was rickety. I would not stay in this cabin again. However, the location was lovely!

Perfect for a weekend away!

My friends and I were looking for a cozy spot, close to lots of take-out options, with a fireplace and a jacuzzi. This home was perfect!! Our little group slept well, loved the easy access to York Village, Kittery, and Ogunquit, and truly just relaxed. Kathy was great to communicate with and we hope to make this an annual experience. Our only qualm - the road and driveway are dirt... and we stayed during a VERY rainy weekend, so we were nervous getting our cars up and out! HIGHLY recommend this home for a relaxing spot!! Thank you for hosting us!

Description did not match the house/ chlorine burns

The listing sed the sleeping arrangements where completely different then they actually where. Along with the fact that there was soo much chlorine in the hot tub it burned our skin and bleached bathing suit ( found 11 chlorine tablets in a small hot tub should be 3 MAX)

Clean and comfy with great views and location

The location is fantastic! We loved waking up to the gorgeous lake views, star gazing in the hot tub, s’mores by the fire, and a great day of autumn surfing on Long Sands Beach. The cabin was spacious for our family of 4 with lots of activities for our teens to do both on and off property. The kitchen was well appointed and the living spaces were clean and inviting.

Cozy home in a great location

We stayed for a long weekend. We were looking for something on a "lake", but close to the ocean. This was the perfect spot. The town is adorable with great restaurants and shops nearby. The inside of the house was exactly as described. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and relax. The yard definitely needs some clean up. We didn't do much outside beyond using the fire pit because it was not so great. Overall it was a really good stay beyond that.

Why they chose this property

This cottage has the best of both worlds. Lake swimming and many activities for the kids. Like boating campfire ,bocce,, basket ball. Volley ball, Jacuzzi, And the other world is 5 min to the Ocean. Children have some much to do they don't want to leave.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing is the Sunset over the lake. And watching the hummingbirds.
