About this property

Discover the Perfect Maine Escape on Long Lake, Bridgton. The Way Life Should Be

Nestled among the trees on beautiful Long Lake, this recently renovated cabin offers the very best of Maine living in Bridgton—“the place for all seasons.” Enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the beach and dock, with the soothing sound of Stevens Brook cascading over the rocks and the distant call of loons. Just 250 feet away, a private beach (shared with one other home) invites you to swim, boat, or simply relax by the water.
The cabin comfortably sleeps guests in three bedrooms: a primary suite with a queen bed and private bath, a bunk room with two bunks and full-size futons, and a third bedroom with full-size beds. With ample closet space, a fully stocked spacious kitchen, and the convenience of a washer and dryer, you’ll have all the comforts of home.
Close to Bridgton Center, North Conway, and Freeport for shopping and dining, this lakeside retreat is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy Maine before the summer crowds arrive.

Beautiful lake house! Clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. We loved mornings on the deck, afternoons kayaking, and evenings by the fire pit. Peaceful setting but close to town—perfect getaway. We’d definitely stay again!

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of four. It was clean, had enough space for all of us and just a short walk to the lake. We enjoyed our time on the lake fishing and paddling. Bridgton has so much to offer - museums, parks, shopping and good eats. If we make it back to Long Lake, this cabin would be our first choice.

We enjoyed our weekend getaway in Bridgton. The promise of bald eagle sightings was a big draw and we were not disappointed! We enjoyed multiple sightings of one adult and one sub-adult. The sounds of the loons across the lake were so beautiful. The house was clean and comfortable and the check in process was super easy. The owners live next door and were available to answer any questions, but did not hover. No complaints at all. Don’t miss the Bavarian Chocolate place or Beth’s Cafe. Highly recommend!

Relaxing on the Lake

We had a delightful and relaxing stay at this charming cottage, which truly captures the essence of lakeside tranquility. I highly recommend this hidden gem for family getaways. The fire pit next to the horseshoe game, set against a sandy backdrop, provides a perfect setting for quality family time.

Perfect for quiet lake weekend

Spent the weekend for a father son getaway. Water access from the house was great. Really quick ride (< 5 mins) to downtown Bridgeton so we could pop down to a restaurant or bar. Maureen and Bill were friendly, welcoming and gracious hosts. Would stay here again, it was everything we were looking for.

Hidden gem

The property felt secluded even though there were neighboring homes nearby. It was quiet and peaceful, lending itself to a very relaxing stay. The home was clean and well maintained and had everything needed for an enjoyable time. The welcome package was detailed and offered lots of information regarding the surrounding area. The beachfront was clean and the lake, beautiful.

Perfect Vacation!

Everything was as advertised. The house was clean and welcoming when we arrived. Perfect small beach and dock area where my kids loved swimming and catching fish. Maureen & Bill were helpful with info about the lake and the area. This place is a 5 min drive from downtown Bridgton which made it easy to get groceries, go to Rennys and there are several good restaurants close by as well. Definitely a prime family vacation spot!

Nice Getaway

4 of us stayed at this cabin. It was very spacious, clean and comfortable with plenty of room for 4 adults. We had 2 boats for a fishing trip and spent time on Long Lake as well as other lakes in the area. The boat launch was very close by the cabin and there is plenty of area to park your trailers on the property. There is a nice grille and deck overlooking Long Lake which was great for cooking out. We enjoyed our stay here. I would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Host profile image
We've been enjoying all that Bridgton has to offer for 22 years. We found this lovely town when we used to camp at Point Sebago and decided to make it our permanent home away from home. Our time on Long Lake has given us so many wonderful family memories. We are hoping that staying at this Cabin will create happy memories and have you coming back again for the "best vacation ever".

Why they chose this property

This home will allow you the opportunity to relax, play and make wonderful memories in a beautiful setting. The property is family-friendly and features a campfire area, basketball hoop, open field in a small lakeside community. The property is immaculately kept, comfortable and cozy. Located in Bridgton, this home embraces that Bridgton is a place for all seasons. we are steps away from the semi-private beach with a sandy shallow entrance. We are available for rental for the entire ski season. Minutes away from Shawnee Peak , within an hour drive to Sunday River and many New Hampshire ski areas.

What makes this property unique

This home has recently been completely updated. The cabin is steps away from the beach, on the snowmobile trails, hiking trails, walking distance to Town and all that it has to offer. 10 minutes from Shawnee Peak ski mountain and less than an hour drive to numerous other ski areas. 25 minutes from North Conway, 45 minutes to Portland and Freeport. Bridgton also has a regional hospital and urgent care center.
