It's also a great jumping off point for the Katahdin region including Baxter State Park. We have a paddle boat,two canoes, and three kayaks available. Bird watch, leaf peep, moose watch, white water raft, hike, kayak, swim, fish, x-country ski ,snow shoe, ATV, snowmobile or just relax and enjoy the view. We are close to a network of trails. Just leave the house and hit the trails.

Cozy Cottage On The Lake

This property was perfect for our visit to Maine. It’s close to the town of Millinocket and Baxter State Park. It’s right on the lake with access to canoes and kayaks. The hosts were wonderful and very helpful. It was clean and comfortable.

Excellent stay - feels like visiting family (in the best way possible!)

Donny and Faye were lovely - their property was very comfortable, and they clearly go above and beyond to make it a good experience. We loved staying on the water, and they even took us out on their boat for a tour of the surrounding lakes. We really enjoyed our time there (especially our kids), and we would definitely go back!

Great Getaway

We traveled north to explore Baxter State Park. Norcross Cottage has shoreline property which was perfect for an early morning paddle and relaxing evening viewing with a glass of wine while being serenaded by loon calls. It was a great place to wrap up the day after strenuous hiking.

a long overdue visit

We had a great trip to northern Maine and Norcross Cottage! Faye and Don were great hosts! We are familiar with the area but, we were long overdue for a visit. Don and Faye had great suggestions for us. We enjoyed the use of their kayaks and boat rides! And they were available when we needed them. We had a great stay! We would definitely stay again.

Quaint farmhouse right on a lake near Mt. Katahdin

We've stayed in a few lakeside cottages, but this one was different: a Victorian farmhouse full of antiques! Very comfortable, right on a lake, and about as close as you can get to Mt. Katahdin and the rest of Baxter State Park. The hosts Don and Faye are above and beyond.

This property is on a stunningly beautiful lake. Check-in was easy and we appreciated learning about the history of the house. The kitchen was well stocked and comfortable. We spent time kayaking the lake. This was a quiet and comfortable location.

Perfection

Norcross Cottage was a cozy, beautiful, comfortable home away from home that had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. The cottage was decorated with antiques and pieces that were true to its history. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. We loved kayaking on the lake, and it was incredibly generous of the hosts to allow usage of their kayaks, canoe and paddle boat! The location was a great launching point for hiking Mount Katahdin and exploring Baxter State Park.

Lakeside Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our stat at this quaint lakeside cottage, tastefully decorated with antiques. It was great to have access to the owners if needed but it had everything we needed so there was no need to bother them. The lakeview was wonderful even though it was a little chilly to spend time outside. We would definitely stay here again if the need arises.
