The Wee White Cottage on Tripp Lake in Poland, Maine.

Great spot for fishing, kayaking, watching the loons, the eagles and herons. The sun rises directly across the lake, and the dock is a perfect spot for a cup of morning coffee. This is a studio arrangement with a lake view living area, a QUEEN size bed, pull out queen sofa, and a pull-out twin bed, fully equipped eat-in kitchen (no dishwasher), clean bathroom, with stand up shower. Suitable for a couple, or close friends. The cottage has an assortment of new and antique furnishings. It's very clean and very quiet. Window unit air conditioner.

My family and I had an amazing week stay! The cabin was the perfect size for a family of 4, with each of the kids getting their own couch bed. We loved hanging out on the dock and taking the kayaks out. My son and daughter absolutely loved the floating ring and spent hours out there. It's a great place to relax and spend time together. We would definitely stay again and highly recommend this to others.

This was our second stay at Wee White Cottage, this time with our pup. The weekdays were as relaxing and peaceful as we remembered from 5 yrs ago. Communication with the host was excellent, and the lake was so warm! The listing stated no AC, but we were pleased that a new window unit was provided, although positioned in the window closest to the bed would be helpful. The grill worked wonderfully for local veggies and corn on the cob. We had paddle boards from Sebago Trails delivered, and we even got our pup up on one. Needless to say, she was exhausted when we got home- the hallmark of a good vacation.

The cottage was adorable and the host was great. The bed was a bit uncomfortable and it was difficult to sleep for me, my family seemed fine though. We had a bit of rain which nobody can controll but the TV didn't seem to be a smart TV and several of the DVD's on sit were so scratched they didn't work. No cribbage or deck of cards FYI, bring along if that is your thing. The lake was ok, a bit mucky. Unfortunately you can hear a busy road from across the lake often which put a bit of a damper on the relaxation.

Beautiful spot, cozy, cute cottage.

We LOVED staying at the Wee White Cottage. We had so much fun using the kayaks and swimming to the lily pad dock. This lake spot is so peaceful - it was just what we needed. The house had everything we needed and was very clean and cozy. We could only stay 3 nights but next time, we'd like to stay longer!

This was by far the cleanest and most adorable cottage we've ever stayed in. It was so cozy! The closeness to the lake was pretty awesome too. We didn't have the best weather our week, but enjoyed relaxing and reading in the cottage. We would definitely return to this little treasure.

Wee White Cottage Was Wonderful !

The Wee White Cottage is at the end of a private road. In October when we stayed we had the neighborhood mostly to ourselves. It was wonderfully quiet. The cottage is rustic but nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It felt like home. The lake is only steps away. If I had to use only one word to describe our stay it would be relaxing!

Far better than a hotel!

We flew in to visit family. The Wee White Cottage was the perfect place to visit without the noise of a restaurant. Everyone came to us instead of us spending most of our time driving. The cottage is quaint, quiet and rustic. Kitchen had everything we needed to host dinners. No basic or cable television ended up being just what I needed to truly relax. Host had great communication. We will definitely return!

Perfect week

We spent a lovely week at the cottage. The space is so cozy and the lake is beautiful. We had hot weather but even with no AC, the cross breeze and easy lake jumps kept us plenty cool. Loons were a treat! Would not hesitate to return! The camp has everything you need. It’s old and just a little bit funky but oozing with charm, just how a lake cabin should be. Bedding was comfy, kitchen was stocked! Kayaks were a dream. Thank you for having us!

Sept 2023

The cottage well depicted in pictures. Well equipped yet rustic. There is no room to enjoy indoor events of any kind or to sit for more than 1 or 2. TV reception non existent, wifi connection was good.The lakeside grounds are not for unsteady guests and the steps to dock are fairly steep, hazardous with pine needle droppings in the unrelenting rain for my stay.. The pine tree branches are low hanging and block a lot of the lakeview. Not a place I would rebook but I can see athletic parties who enjoy water activities liking it. The owner was responsive with good contact availability. Weather issues nothing owner can fix. In heavy rain there is a leak in kitchen near the left side of the microwave.

6/10 Okay

Disliked: Communication
I have come to Maine I was six with my family and friend’s rustic lake cabins, this cabin more accurately in need of some attention. The information on the website, as per the owner, was incorrect for getting on the Internet. After some back-and-forth, and paperwork scattered about, I discovered the Wi-Fi box and got the network and password from that. Internet is very spotty… But common on a lake in Maine. There lightbulb in the bathroom was out, there was no replacement. The bed is quite soft. The bedding is sparse and cheap, comforter that barely covers bed and uncomfortable pillows… same towels, bring your own. There’s no place to play a game or spread out a puzzle… Living room furniture is uncomfortable. As you can see from the pictures, carpets are fraying, wiring is concernining. It lists having a fire extinguisher, but I could not find one. I would suggest letting your guest know where the fire extinguisher is and including fire blankets. It was generally “clean”, it didn’t feel cleanCommunication was a little difficult as I prefer the app, but she communicated by a phone call, text, email and on the app. Difficult to follow conversation.At checkout, I was unable to locate any of the things I was meant to use for garbage, recycling, and aluminum and glass. I took my recycling with me.

Why they chose this property

Tripp Lake is a very special place for our family. The Wee White Cottage is set among tall pines, and family camps along the western shore. We own both the Wee White Cottage and a larger year round vacation home next door. We welcome guests that enjoy the peace and quite of a Maine lake.

What makes this property unique

Go to sleep in this cottage to the sounds of the loons. Wake up with the sun. Watch the moon rise from the dock. Kayak to sunset cove. Sip coffee on the new dock. Take a nap on the hammock. Swim in crystal clear waters. Check out the local farm markets, ice cream stands and antique stores.
