Great stay at the Quaint Little Cottage

We stayed at the Quaint Little Cottage while visiting Thomas College. Very easy to get to and from Waterville/the lake and a great alternative to a hotel room. The communication with the hosts was fantastic and the property was clean/exactly as advertised. We would stay here again!

Stayed one night on route to a wedding in New Brunswick, Canada. Very clean and comfortable cottage! Many thoughtful touches like books and extra blankets and cold water bottles in the fridge. On a quiet lot and convenient to the highway.

Quaint little cottage

It was a lovely cottage and private but yet close to town. It was a wonderful stay and an enjoyable place. My only thing was not enough kitchen utensils and basic amenities.

Adorable!

Cottage is just like pictured and described! Super cute, quaint, SPOTLESSLY clean, and comfortable. Check in was quick and easy, beds were all comfortable and everything we would need was there. The AC worked great at cooling the whole cottage pretty much and the neighborhood is very quiet. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Cottage in Oakland ME

We were in Waterville visiting family and didn’t want to stay in a hotel. I found this cute little cottage-style small house in Oakland. It met expectations and was very clean.

The house was so clean, comfortable and a charming space! Lot’s of attention to the details both in decor and amenities. Erika was a fantastic host- very thoughtful. She reached out to make sure we had everything we needed (which we did). The house is within 10 minutes of Colby College, so a perfect place to stay when visiting our son. Also, the house is just around the corner from the Korner Store and Deli which has fantastic lobster rolls and hot sandwiches. Would definitely stay here again!

Though she be but little she is fierce

Small house that is cleverly laid out and decorated to feel big. We were a group of 3, and this house had everything we needed. There were lots of small touches that made this house so much better than a hotel.
