About this property

(Previously listed as property #4202072 with a 4 star rating.)

When my brother and I were little our parents, Stan and Sylvia, built this rustic cottage on the shores of Maranacook Lake. They created a space where our family could build treasured memories. We’re keeping the property in the family and invite you to build your own memories here too.

This private, rustic cottage is a perfect Maine lake getaway, tucked in the trees but close to all the amenities of modern life. Wifi and a washing machine just make it easier to enjoy fresh blueberries off the bushes on the shore. The loons and bass love the lake as much as you will enjoy watching wildlife or fishing.

Nice privacy

Enjoyed our stay, beautiful sunrises and very shady. Enjoyed the privacy. Beds were a little uncomfortable and windows didn't open for fresh air but a/c was helpful. Grill was very dirty but cleaned it up.

Wonderful Maine "Camp" Experience

Our stay here was wonderful. Beautiful spot on the lake. Everything was so comfortable and the location felt private and quiet (despite our loud children!) We loved sitting on the porch or by the firepit at night listening to the loons. The floating dock was a favorite of our kids. We did lots of fishing, swimming and canoeing. The owner was very communicative and responsive throughout our stay. We would definitely return!

Would Return

My family had a wonderful time at the camp. With one exception, the deck. My elderly father sat in a chair and the leg (of the chair) went through a rotted part of the deck causing him to fall. Overall the deck is in need of repair for guest safety.

Not what was expected-

We love Maine camps- they do not have to be perfect- but they have to have better bones than this one did- Positives- location (end of dirt road), yard (clean and nice) dock (nicely set up)- and swimming area (great access to a float) were all super positive, fun and what we hoped for. No issue there. But, there were issues- we need WiFi- it was out- the entire time- and we volunteered to wait during the stay for the cable company (Spectrum) to show- they didn't-so lost a 1/2 day there not the owners fault but should have been checked for usability PRIOR to us arriving. Because it was never repaired we had to leave early to do work when we could have done it during our stay. Did not find the camp super clean and it was damp- it rained but more so the house is in the shadows and just doesn't ever dry out- there is A/C (portable units) we should have probably tried to use them. Toliet condensates --this moisture and has a chronic puddle around it because it's old it "runs" downhill. Umbrella was broken. Hopefully they fix. Rug was awful- dampness + soiled rug-ugh. It was only 2 of us- supposed to hold 8-10 not sure that would be wise. Could use some TLC to be positive- shared this info with the owner- if the correct it's great, if not.....well...

About the host

Hosted by Brook

The story goes that when I was a baby boy, my parents put me in a bread basket to sleep while they helped build this cottage. My older brother swears it's true and I believe him. My wife and I live far away now but we're taking care of the cottage to keep it in the family. We still visit whenever we can, and we welcome you to share our special place on the lake in Maine.

Why they chose this property

Life on the lake is private, but the town of Readfield is only a short walk or drive away. For more services, Augusta and Lewiston-Auburn are just a short drive.

The most convenient way to travel is by car. Augusta Airport is 12 miles away and Webb and Sons can arrange transportation. There is a taxi service in Manchester and some Uber and Lyft drivers based in Augusta.
