About this property
Lakeside Story - Log Cabin, Fire Pit, Beach!
Built in 1963, this classic Maine Log Cabin is a real charmer! You`ll love the warmth of the natural wood interior and exposed beams throughout, which all add to character that could never be recreated in this one-of-a-kind property. Steps to a spacious semi-private beach on Long Lake, and an easy walk to the Naples Causeway, the cabin is a perfect home base for a family vacation, or a group getaway. Fully updated amenities including super-comfy beds, streaming media, and a cook`s kitchen.
We are located in the heart of Naples, walking distance to restaurants and shopping on the newly redesigned causeway. Relax in the large common beach area (safe for swimming). The property features two bedrooms and one bathroom, and a sunroom with a futon that functions as a third bedroom, sleeping six comfortably. Interior features include washer/dryer, a fully-equipped kitchen with breakfast bar, flatscreen TV and stereo, and high-speed internet. Enjoy the beautiful exterior features including a large deck overlooking westerly views of Long Lake, an outside dining area, grill, picnic table, fire pit and lawn furniture for relaxing in the sun or under a shady tree.
Guests will be able to enjoy the sandy white beach which is a short walk down a footpath. The water is shallow here and great for swimming. We also have a two person kayak for use to use as well. It is located on the rack down by the beach, it is yellow and says emotion on it.
We`re available if needed to help but generally like to give guests their space.

Great property to enjoy a vacation! It is within walking distance of several local businesses...including Sebagel...amazing homemade bagels!Place was clean, quiet and cozy. A short walk down a footpath leads you to a quaint little beach on Long Lake. Communication with owner was easy and responses were timely. Would recommend this property!

Jon thank you so much for the kind words, we are so glad you enjoyed your stay!
It was perfect for our week long stay.
Great view of the lake and a nice short walk to the Naples causeway. The cabin was very clean.
I would recommend it for family or a couples get a way.
This cabin is the absolute best. Perfect location, beautiful beach, clean, and comfortable. My family and I stayed here with our three young children and had an amazing time. It had everything we needed and was nice and cool on some really hot days. We were able to walk to downtown Naples, and enjoy so many things Maine has to offer. Thank you for a wonderful stay, we will be back again for sure!

My wife and I stayed here with our three kids over the summer and we cannot say enough about the location and cabin itself. The owner went above and beyond with communication, making sure we had all the details and the property was ready for our arrival. I would definitely recommend as the location is tucked away yet very close (walking distance) to food and booze shopping. Also, compliments to the gentleman at the bait shop nearby, he was very nice and accommodating. We’d stay there again!
Between myself and my daughter, we have rented the cottage
Many times thru the years. It’s a little gem! Near town but quite with a small beach. The cottage has charm and everything a person needs.
Kelly has thought of everything to make your stay comfortable.
This is my Happy Place!❤️
We paid in full for our 4 day stay, certainly not cheap. My husband and I got covid and were very sick. We were travelling up for my sister's wedding and wanted to stay in Naples to be close to her. We have a home on Barker Pond. They would not give us any credit for future dates or any type of partial refund. Did not even have the common courtesy of calling us directly when we asked. Did not work with us at all considering our situation that could not be helped! Will never suggest this rental/owners.

Response from VrboOwner on 15 September 2025
Berkeley notified us under 24 hours before her check-in date that she was unable to travel due to Covid. At that stage, the property had been fully prepared and reserved exclusively for her stay for weeks. Berkeley wanted to reschedule, however we were unable to accommodate that due to occupancy and a long term lease that was to commence soon.
We are sorry Berkeley became ill, but the responsibility for personal circumstances such as this should not fall on the host. Our role is to have the property prepared and available as advertised, which we fulfilled. While it is unfortunate she could not travel, that situation should not translate into a negative review of our property or service.
Our cancellation policy was clearly stated, and Berkeley did not purchase trip protection to cover unexpected events like this.
Leaving a 1-star review for a stay that never occurred is not an accurate reflection of our property or our service. We consistently maintain a 4.9-star rating across nearly 100 reviews on Airbnb and VRBO, and this review does not represent the experience that our guests actually receive.

It was all right
The ad is a little misleading - this is not a lakefront property. It does have a nice view of the lake but it is a little walk down to the lake and there are lots of other houses crowded in / close by. The house feels unloved, drab - there was pet stain on the carpet. The sign in the bathroom, which is supposed to be a joke, is sort of gross. Not enough glasses, no lids for the pots. We did see a moose however; nice screened in porch/outdoor deck. The female owner was a little rude about my (elderly) parents being less than an hour over the checkout time (a very early 10 am). We probably would not stay again. There are better places in the lake region with nicer owners.
As a family of four with two teens, this place was perfect. Beds were comfortable, cabin was clean, the outside deck with a charcoal grill, (easy to light with some propane attached) firepit with supplied wood and access to Long lake with a cute little beach with a kayak. We explored Sebago Lake, (rented a pontoon boat) did the Songo River Queen riverboat ride (the 12p-2p is more informative, the later night one is more of a party boat). We hiked Rattlesnake mountain, took walks to explore the Songo river locks and Sebago Lake state park (in total about a 7 mile walk from this cabin), (Songo Lock was one of the 28 locks built for the canal, and provides a major transit point between Sebago Lake and Brandy Pond, the southernmost portion of Long Lake.)
We went to Brother Flecker's for Karaoke and their smoked wings were fabulous. We explored Captain Jack's Marina and also were able to check out Gary's Pub, which also has family Sunday night karaoke.
The cabin has many towels and beach towels. Kitchen was great, and since we were there in mid August, the area was quiet and chill. Everything is definitely in walking distance, with also the grocery store with package store and pharmacy less than one mile away, very convenient. Overall, would we go back? Absolutely!
This property was everything we could have wished for. The cabin was exactly what you would dream of staying in during a stay in the northeast. It was plenty of space for my family of 4 but not too large that we could hide from each other. There is an amazing (partial) lake view from the rear deck and living room window. The semi-private (shared with the small HOA) beach is just a very short walk down the hill with one of the best views I have ever seen. You get a great view of the lake and mountains on one side and a view of the Naples causeway on the other. All of the people we met down there were so friendly and more than welcoming. We also loved the firepit and the availability of firewood for purchase right next to the cabin at the baitshop (they sell on the honor system 24hrs a day).
This property is just a short walk to the causeway where you can find tons of things to do. Make sure to take a seaplane ride and see the property from the air!
In addition, the owners are top notch. I'm new at vacation rentals and they helped me through the entire process! They also take very good care of the home and grounds.
WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Once we arrived we felt so relaxed and at home!!!!! We have been to Naples, ME for the past 8 years and stayed at the same location, cottage on the lake. This year we tried this log cabin only 3 minutes away from our previous location. Great space inside and comfortable for 3-6 people very homey! A nice view of the lake from the large window in the livingroom! and just a minute walk to beach,kayak access.
Cooked on the grille everynight and had a fire! This would be
great for the fall season also!!!! Thank You so Much Kelly for having this great home away from home!!!!!

Good location
Great location, convenient to stores and restaurants. Deck was a real plus and distance to water was just a short walk down the road/path. Room off the deck was lovely for eating and relaxing. House was clean. Host called to check in the morning we arrived, nice touch.
Negatives:
The master bedroom had an odor that made the room almost uninhabitable as our vacation progressed. The second bedroom smelled too but not as bad. Sewer issue? Dead animal under the house? We let the owners know upon check out via a phone message but never heard back from them...an apology would have been appreciated.
Bathroom was old and in need of updates. Shower stall felt like campground quality and not what one would expect for a rental that costs over $200 per night after fees and taxes.
