Cottage & Guest House - Lake Thompson, Poland Spring, Maine

Vintage Cottage surrounded by window boxes of flowers, and Guest House a few feet behind it are just steps away from Lake Thompson (11 miles long, max depth of 121', and several islands). Since the lake is spring fed by the Poland Springs aquifer, it's considered to be one of the most pristine glacial lakes in Maine.

We are on the East side and so we get spectacular sunsets. Peaceful, private setting among 100+ yr old trees, lush ferns, old stone walls that were built before the trees grew. We have no ambient light so you see lots of stars, and no background noise - you won't believe how quiet it is!

We recently reworked the cottage floor plan and refurbished it with all new thermopane windows - adding many to be able to see woods from every room; completely new kitchen and bath with tub/shower; 3/4' pine paneling throughout; porch surrounded by casement windows/screens; new roof; 10' pine tree bear sculpture... and we aren't done yet!

Cottage is open from the kitchen to the family room which has a cathedral ceiling with paddle fan and clerestory windows providing lots of light and wonderful views from the loft. Great for entertaining.

All mattresses in the cottage and the guest house are new within a few years. The cottage 1st floor bedroom has 1 dbl bed, and a wall of windows that looks out on the old stone wall, huge pine trees, the lake, and unbelievable sunsets.

The cottage loft has 1 twin and 1 dbl bed. Also new windows… one of them is a skylight that opens so you can hear the loons and see the stars as you have never seen them. The loft is across from the clerestory windows with a great view of the lake.

The Guest house 1st floor: 1 queen bed and a set of bunks (and washer and dryer). It has ¾” pine walls and ceilings and all new windows. The 2nd floor has 2 queen beds, and room for a 2nd set of bunks, or a crib, or pack and play. It has a cathedral ceiling, two skylights and a paddle fan.

Duck families will visit, loons will serenade you, and we have often sited deer, moose, foxes, etc. Very good fishing for salmon, lake trout and bass.

Fernwood Camp (girl's camp) owns a large land buffer between us and so we have a lot of privacy and the land feels as much like ours as theirs. Fernwood sprays for mosquitoes too which is great.

The property will be cleaned before you arrive and we ask that you leave it as you found it, and remove your own trash - dump is less than a mile away. Deposit fee of $500 is due with lease agreement, and rental fee is due 30 days before arrival. Deposit will be returned if there is no damage or excessive cleaning.

No Pets. No smoking inside.
