This is our second stay at Little Thumb. We love the private dock, and relaxing in the cozy cottage. It was chilly in September and we used the little gas fireplace/stove to take the chill off. We will return again for sure.

Oh the silence! Beautiful location……wish we could have taken a swim from the dock to the float but fall chill was lovely along with the stove fit heat. Every detail thoughtfully executed. Notebook showing the progression of the remodel process very enjoyable. Very easy to communicate when necessary. Congrats Natalie!

A wonderful spot - lovingly restored, perfectly comfortable, and ideal location. This small house right on the lake was exactly what our small family was looking for, and the property exceeded our expectations. Quiet but not isolated, and close to anything you might need, but we rarely left the house and spent our days swimming, kayaking, looking at birds, taking afternoon naps. The cottage is very nicely appointed - we wanted for nothing. Thank you so much, Natalie, for sharing your home with us.

This is a beautiful spot to rest and relax. The lake is beautiful and quiet. The cottage is nicely decorated, comfortable and has great views of the lake. We kayaked and swam, listened to and watch the loons, and had a lovely chat with Natalie when she came to water. Her gardens. Highly recommended!

If you are looking for relaxing, laid back, comfy cottage, look no further. Just returned from a perfect week here. Everything we needed was right there. The host is very easy to communicate with, check in was easy. The decor is very eclectic. It's a mixture of old and new. Beds were comfortable, kitchen stocked with all that you need, beautiful view. A peaceful quiet spot to go and. unwind. We will be back.

This property is beautiful and tranquil! The house space was just what we need for 2 adults, cozy area overlooking the lake was my fav reading spot, other than being on the dock. Kayaking the lake was perfect, we saw osprey catching fish, baby geese, and loons! It was a perfect place to kick back and relax with plenty of areas nearby to go and explore.

Comfortable, classic lakeside cottage. The camp has been restored with new kitchen counters and most of the windows throughout. Furnishings and beds are comfortable. Supplies were adequate though the owner requests that renters re-supply what they use (reasonable request); so a few things were a little scarce (I.e. hand soap). Lakeside dock is very nice and a swim-up float further out in the lake. Provided kayaks are a nice bonus with the camp in a somewhat protective cove and a marshy area to explore.Departure procedures request that renters strip beds and wash sheets and linens, leaving them in the dryer for the cleaning crew to finish up. Since we had a morning flight out of Boston (3 hour drive min), this can be somewhat challenging to complete. Would be preferable to let the cleaning crew handle the required laundry.

Dear R,, thank you for your review. I do appreciate your time and thoughtfulness. Your comments are valuable to me and to future guests. As always, if you have any concerns please do not hesitate to contact me. Though the cleaning service does not replenish supplies (I am only one of their many summer clients), you can reach out to me if you are lacking anything. And if you are scrambling for an early flight, please let me know and I can notify the service so they will book additional time for the laundry. It is a courtesy requested by them that the laundry be started so that they can stay on schedule, but courtesy can be offered to you as well. No one should feel stressed at the end of a vacation.

Lovely cabin for a relaxing vacation. Days on the dock soaking up the sun and watching the birds, cozy nights with the fireplace. We went to the Pemaquid lighthouse, Round Pond and Wiscasset for a Reds lobster sandwich and took some scenic roads to see the beautiful fall colors

My husband and I stayed here for part of our honeymoon. We absolutely fell in love with this cabin. Waking up to the lake view, sitting outside with some coffee and a bonfire was our favorite way to start the day there! Made it hard to leave the cabin to go explore Maine since we loved this place so much! Such good vibes. Thank you!
