About this property
Waterfront Maine cottage! Next to Sebago Lake State Park!
New to VRBO!!! Enjoy your family getaway in Naples, Maine, at the Crooked Cottage located directly on the Crooked River, uniquely positioned between Sebago Lake and Long Lake, and a bike ride from Sebago Lake State Park. With this unique positioning, you can boat to either lake for a different daily experience. Spend your days on the sandbar on Sebago! Fish, swim, and kayak to your heart's desire, right from your front door. Much more private than lakeside you'll have your own, private grounds giving you the campground feeling with a sandy beach for your family's enjoyment. Play volleyball or badminton, or simply put your tube in the water on one side of the property and float around the peninsula to the other. Your own natural lazy river! (our favorite pastime!) Enjoy your nights around the campfire, under the stars. Visit the Naples Causeway when you're looking for some excitement. Take the Songo River Queen, rent jet skis or people watch to your heart's desire. SeaCoast Funpark is a short drive away.
Leef peep and hike in the fall, as trails are all around you. In the winter months, you're minutes from the ITS snowmobile trails, country skiing, and snowshoe trails. If downhill skiing is your thing, you've got Pleasant Mountain, Sunday River, and others a short drive away. 45 minutes in either direction will get you to Portland, Maine, or North Conway, NH.
The kitchen is fully functioning with all the appliances and utensils you need. Just bring your food and drinks! Open floor plan with a bar that seats 6, and outdoor dining includes spacious seating on the patio and fire pit. A grill is available.

Wonderful

The little beach was overgrown and the outdoor shower was disconnected - disappointing. Otherwise the rest of the property was wonderful. Would stay there again.
Where to begin: our hosts were very responsive, helpful and kind. Their cottage was exactly as described, was as immaculate as a cottage in the woods could possibly be, and was well supplied with everything we needed. The outdoor property was expansive and felt secluded on the little peninsula in the woods, even though there were other properties nearby. Beautiful dock, outdoor seating, and at night the solar torches they set up provided the perfect ambiance. If we had more time we would have enjoyed sharing the outdoor space with family there along the Crooked River, but instead it served as our quiet little home base while we traveled to visit family in the state. We also would have brought along our tubes and kayak to cruise along the river! Next time!

Place was great. Plenty of room for our family and a unique spot that spans the peninsula so you can float from side to side. Short trip to Sebago State Park or all the fun in Naples.

Great secluded location, as though you are camping.
- Ample towels, kitchen supplies etc.
- comfortable bedding
The lazy river is probably a 10-15 minute float, which is a good amount of time.

Disliked: Listing accuracy
The property and location are fantastic, with river access on both sides of the house. Crooked River is a slower and quieter pace than Sebago Lake, which we enjoyed very much. Proximity to Sebago Lake State Park is also a plus. Be aware that the 3rd "bedroom" actually contains a sofabed and washer/dryer, and access to the only full bathroom is quite difficult unless in sofa position.
Crooked Cottage is adorable and rustic. The home was clean, with most of the necessities. i loved having a washer/dryer and a grill. No AC in the upstairs bedrooms but we ended up with cool July weather so it wasn't missed. Easy shopping nearby. The property is great, plenty of space and alot of river frontage. We enjoyed our week in Maine.

We enjoyed the country location on the Crooked River. The river was quite low and we did ot try to swim there. We loved the rustic interior and decor. It was a perfect size for our family of 4 adults.

Thank you, Donna! We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay with us. We hope you return next year!
Highly recommend this property! Great place to rent. Few houses in area have AC, so that was a great amenity as our family’s first day was quite warm, The place is clean and well kept. Loved the yard! 2 docks on Crooked River, and fishing was good as well. We plan on coming back soon!

Thank you so much for your review, Leo! We are so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to having you back!
We had such a wonderful time it's hard where to start.We traveled here with our 2 granddaughters and 2 of their friends. They all had a great time tubing and fishing and swimming in the river and in the lake. We brought our bass boat and used the boat ramp at the park to launch it.( free for military btw).The kids played board games and cards every night and made smores by the fire. A very peaceful location for sure. We saw deer here, a very friendly chipmunk, and cool turtles too.We were sad it was time to head back to reality
Angie and Clayton were very responsive before, during, and post stay. The addition upstairs is absolutely charming. The cottage was clean and well equipped. Loved the badminton court! Very peaceful retreat. Definitely would recommend.

This is a great property! It is private and quiet yet you can be in downtown Naples in a few minutes. Very clean with lots of natural light. Plenty of room inside when it is raining but also lots of space outside when it is nice out…and the river passes on both sides of the property because it is on a bit of a peninsula! Also, some older reviews mentioned issues with high mineral content in the water…the house has a filter now and no issues at all with my sensitive skin!

Thank you at much for your review! I'm so pleased that you enjoyed your time and space. Most of all, Im so thankful that you noted the water system. :)
Its a challenge on the lake, and Im so thankful you noticed. I hope that you come to stay with us again one day!
Stay well,
Angie and Clayton
This spot was the perfect location for a quiet, kid free girls weekend. The property is absolutely beautiful and has easy access to the water for some swimming or fishing. The camp itself was cozy but also spacious enough. We had 5 adults and we had plenty of space for activities, plus we all had our own bed! All in all we had an amazing weekend and made great memories that we will never forget.

Thank you, Allyson! We are so glad that you had a great time! We hope you choose to stay with us again.
The cottage was in a nice quiet and secluded area. Unfortunately, we were probably there during the hottest days/nights of the summer and the upstairs had no A/C but there were plenty of fans though. Need to change the bed description for third room. Was expecting an actual bed but it was a pull out sofa.
This property was peaceful and exactly what we were looking for! The inside was described exactly as the listing and so much more. Having 2 bathrooms was convenient for a group of 4 and did I mention the outdoor shower my favorite with plenty of hot water. Plenty of seating indoors and out with a cafe table on a covered porch. If floating on the river isn’t your thing, Sebago Lake State park is just a short drive away(Beautiful beach, bathrooms, picnic tables etc.) This beach allows floats a bonus. We had a couple of minor issues (our fault) but Clayton returned call immediately and problem was solved! Would I recommend this property absolutely

Great quiet spot to kickback and relax. Perfect for what we were looking for. River access to the lake (about 50 min in the kayak) but the lake is a driving distance away, which is the only drawback having to load up little kids. The beds were a little firm is my only complaint. We had a blast and the kids lived in the river. Thanks for wonderful memories!

We had the most magical time at the crooked river cottage. We dropped our boat in the Sebago Lake park boat launch and drove it down the river to the cottage and left it on the dock. It was about a 20 minute ride down the river and the kids loved it. The next day we took the boat to the sand bar at sebago and to captain jacks for lunch. The cottage was clean, sweet, and so much fun. We can’t wait to plan our next visit!

We had a multi generational family stay at Angie's house, ranging in ages from 1-70. The set up of the house was perfect for all of us and accessible for my mother.
Everyone was comfortable and happy. The lazy river was so fun, relaxing and beautiful.
One thing to note is that the water is heavy on minerals, so we'd recommend bringing jugs of water for cooking and brushing teeth, but that was easy for us to pick up.
We will be back for sure!

Thank you, so much! We are so pleased that you had a wonderful time with us and will be back. You're correct, living on the water does bring the minerals with it. We have a brand new well and water filter system. It is safe for drinking and brushing, but I too bring my drinking water, as I'm picky about my water flavor. :) I'm very thankful, again that you enjoyed your stay, and apologize for any inconvenience about the water. We look forward to having you back!

The house was right on the river, and it was very quiet and peaceful. The kitchen was adequately stocked, and the house was a charming cottage. It is small. The third 'bedroom' has no bed, but a couch in a tiny room. A single bed would have been much better. Not to mention, that the only full bathroom with a shower requires you to go through that room. Also, no A/C upstairs, wish it had A/C in bedrooms. During the day, the wood walls upstairs tend to hold heat in, but after sunset in the summer putting fans in the windows and an industrial fan on high helps with the heat. Cute cottage, family loved it.

Hi Chris,
I'm glad you enjoyed your stay. Perhaps you knew this, and it's just not clear in your review, but the couch in the third room is a pull-out that reverts to a full size bed. I hope that was clear in the listing, but I'll go back and check to see if I could make that clearer.
I'm glad that you enjoyed your stay!

Poor experience:Couldn’t get door to lockWasher didn’t workOutside shower didn’t workNo a/c upstairs, super hot. Box fans ineffective. Tried to use the pullouts downstairs, but the one in the living room had an unusable mattress on it and the floor underneath was filthy. No railing on part of the stairs to the ‘attic’ bedrooms.‘Docks’ unsafe, One side you have to ‘walk a plank’ literally or walk through mud.

Hi Sarah,
It's unfortunate that your experience changed so drastically after the $40 charge for gluing the bed sheets together resulting in tears when either you or your grandchildren tried to separate them. Prior to that when you checked out, your message was very thankful and that you "had a GREAT time!" I would have been extremely understanding if you had simply mentioned the damage to me with an apology.
I would address each of your items in this review, but it seems a little silly. You lock the door by pushing the big button on the lock. The power button on the washing machine works etc. The upstairs rooms are clearly not in an attic. But, you know those things. The outdoor shower WAS broken however, as a piece had fallen off. The next renter let me know and it was fixed the next day. The other correct comment surrounded the couch in the living room. It is not an advertised bed.. because the mattress is indeed uncomfortable.
About the host
Hosted by Angie Brown
Although we are experienced renters, this is our first VRBO and we are excited to share our cottage with you and your family. Our kids love it here, and we know you and yours will love it as much as we do. As lifelong campers, hikers and all around out door people, we can't resist sharing our unique getaway with you.
Why they chose this property
Being on the river is magical. It can only be understood once you've seen the stars on the water at night, and had your coffee outside in the morning. The serenity is exceptional.
What makes this property unique
Most lakeside homes are incredibly close to each other, making it difficult to have privacy. Being on the river is a unique experience that is difficult to match, but most importantly to us, is that we feel like we've got a campground all to ourselves. You have to experience it to understand it's magic. This property is on a peninsula, with one side overlooking the water and unbuildable land on the other side. Making you feel entirely alone with the water and stars. The other side of the peninsula looks across the water to homes and camps of our "neighbors," where their camp lights make me feel like I did as a child camping with my grandparents. Their lights just make me smile. You'll understand when you see it.
