Rustic & relaxing

The island cottage was such a magical relaxing spot for a getaway! We were told to bring everything, but they had more creature comforts than we expected! The mattresses are pretty lumpy, but the sound of the loons and the breeze of the water more than compensated for any discomfort. We loved paddle boarding around and having campfires each night. Sometimes the wind made the row back to shore a challenge (and our boat took on a little water. This is a lovely spot for a relaxing week!!

Wonderful!

We had a lovely week on the island. The house is charming, made comfortable by a working fridge and oven (and comfortable beds, everything spotlessly clean) but otherwise probably unchanged in 100 years — which is very very charming. Lovely old wood furniture and pretty curtains etc. Our children were ENCHANTED by being on an island especially one surrounded by water full of bass (they spent most of their time fishing). Because the lake is quite shallow around the island it is warm to swim in. The owners are very kind and welcoming - whole place has the nice atmosphere of a longtime family business. Highly recommend!

Sweet retreat

We enjoyed birdwatching, kayaking, and swimming off the island (bring water shoes) and appreciated its quiet seclusion! The cabin was spotless and the propane fridge and stove work fine. The composting toilet, shoehorned into a preexisting outhouse, is awkward to use but didn’t project bad smells. Many thanks to the owners/hosts for being welcoming, trusting, and responsive to questions and requests.

Really getting away!

We wanted to have a beautiful off grid spot for our vacation that still let us enjoy all of mid coast Maine. And this was perfect. Our private island was only boat accessible, so we canoed 350 yards as our commute each day. Back on our island, it was quiet, private, and just rustic enough to feel like we were hardy folk.

About the host

Hosted by Christina Pinkham

Lakehurst Properties has been in operation as a family business on the coast of Maine since the early 1920’s. After a brief period as “Camp Pemaquid”, a boys’ summer camp, the original cottages were converted into all-seasonal rentals for those seeking a lakeside retreat. The property has been in the Pinkham family for over 4 generations. Honeymoon Island was built by Lawson Pinkham in the 1930s on the island off the cove of Lakehurst Properties. Today, Dan and Ann Pinkham, along with their sons Dan Jr., Jon, and Josh, own and operate Lakehurst Properties LLC.

Why they chose this property

Honeymoon Island is one of only a few cottages on Pemaquid Lake that is situated on an island. It is very private and offers guests a unique experience of island living. It is special to the Pinkham Family as it was built by Dan Pinkham Sr.'s father, Lawson Pinkham, in the 30s.
