Dream view no matter the weather

This was our second stay, and we enjoyed it even more this time. We had paddle boards delivered and there are kayaks at the house are great. Teresa’s lake house is easy to get to and also feels far away from Portland. The sound of the loons, morning paddles, family time. It doesn’t get any better. Fresh cut wildflowers in each room was a nice touch too!

So peaceful and quiet!

Highland Lake is a hidden treasure. (We had no idea lake was private until we arrived!) Fayth Cottage was the perfect spot to enjoy the water. Portland Paddle was awesome as well with their paddle board rentals. Delivery and pickup totally seamless. Stunning sunsets. The cottage is charming and cozy. Everything we needed was there! 🌎💙🌎

Charming, Well Appointed Cottage

A lovely, recently renovated cottage steps from the lake. This house, unlike so many rentals where we have stayed, feels as though you are home. Extremely well appointed with quality, tasteful furnishings and a fully appointed kitchen. Clearly this is a house also visited by its owner! My only minor suggestion would be to have an air conditioner or two in the bedrooms, especially as our Maine summers keep getting warmer and warmer.

Lovely lake house perfectly outfitted

We loved our week here. Everything was great. Be aware that there's no air conditioning upstairs in the bedrooms, but it cooled off every night with the fans and was comfortable. Also, be aware that the ceilings are a bit low. My son is 6'6" and had to duck often. But we loved our week here.

Perfect Week On The Lake

When we arrived the cottage was so welcoming and clean. It had everything to make our trip wonderful including comfortable beds, nice linens, well stocked kitchen. The pictures are a true representation of the house and the view of the lake was even better than expected! A two person kayak is provided and was a wonderful way to check out the lake and the wild life. Plenty of places to sit, look at the lake and read a good book. Took time to make a trip into Portland for some sight seeing and a wonderful meal. This little city that sits on Casco Bay has so much to enjoy for all ages. Took a day trip around Casco Bay on a ferry to check out all the islands. So much fun for the whole family. A stop at Holy Donut in the Old Port is a must ! We will be back to Highland Lake for sure next summer! Thank you for one of the best vacations ever!

Great stay!

We had a wonderful stay! The house was beautifully clean, well-appointed, and provided a cozy, comfortable environment. While the oven was unfortunately broken during our visit, and they couldn't arrange for a repair while we were there, the host did offer a small reimbursement for the inconvenience. We had planned to cook most of our meals, so this was a bit of a setback, but it didn't overshadow the overall experience. The house itself is lovely, and we especially enjoyed spending time on the dock by the warm lake—a perfect spot for relaxation. Just a note for future guests: there’s only one bathroom, located on the first floor, while the bedrooms are upstairs. This could be a challenge for those who get up frequently during the night or have mobility concerns. Despite this, we found the property to be a great getaway spot!

Nice lake house

Beautiful property on the lake. Clean, well maintained and decorated, and generously appointed with the needed supplies. Lots of room to spread out, people could sleep in the finished walk out basement as well. Quiet lake and neighborhood, very peaceful. Tall people should know that bedrooms are upstairs in a converted attic with low archways. Middle of the night bathroom trips require a trip downstairs to the first floor. None of these detracted from our experience at this nice house.

One of the best trips ever for our family!

The cottage is absolutely perfect and feels like a fairytale. Gorgeous views of the lake, and the house has such a warm fun feeling when you aren’t out on the water. So much to do nearby, but also no need to ever leave as the kitchen has everything.. Teresa the owner could not have been more kind and welcoming, and it truly felt like a home and not just a rental. We will be back for many years to come

Amazing

The perfect setting for family with older kids. We loved the house and spent our days enjoying kayaking and paddle boarding. Portland Paddle delivery and pick up was a cinch. What a spoil with great towels and linens (not to mention a garbage and recycling pick up!). Fresh herbs to cook with right out the back door. We will be back again and I already can’t wait!

Great stay, just what we expected

We stayed for a week with our two sons 19 and 21. The cottage has great lake access and beautiful afternoon/evening sun and sunsets. The swimming is nice and there is a bench on the dock which is nice for reading. We paddled the kayaks around the lake. The wifi connection is really strong. The kitchen is modern with everything needed. We made several trips to Portland which is about 20-25 min drive. Teresa answered all questions promptly and is a very responsive host.

Great week on the lake!

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed a week on Lake Highland at this cottage. The house was very clean and modern my decorated; we loved the plentiful windows and views of the lake! We took full advantage of the water front location - kayaking daily and swimming of the dock when warm enough. We loved the sunsets at night and spent most nights grilling and eating at the outside table. When we wanted to go explore, both Portland and Freeport are only short drives away. This was a great getaway in a quiet lake community. Would definitely come back!

Thank you Rebecca, I'm so happy you were able to enjoy the Portland area, the cottage and the lake with beautiful sunsets and meals outside overlooking the water! I've always felt so lucky to have enjoyed the same thing with family and friends over the years. Please come back and join us again at Highland Lake! Teresa

Lovely fun

Great place with plenty of space and various places to catch sun or shade at any time of the day. Well stocked kitchen and really a treat to have all the linens and beach towels available. The loons and bird music was fantastic. I would definitely be careful with small kids here. There are a lot of steps leading down to the water.

Highland Lake cottage

I definitely recommend this property. This is a very cute, comfortable, clean cottage, well appointed and decorated (as accurately depicted in the photos). It has a nice view of the lake and sunsets. Bedrooms are cozy, but well laid out. I think it important for potential renters to know that bedrooms are on second floor and nearest bathroom is on first floor. So nighttime toilet usage does require a trek down rather steep stairs. Cottage is on a little-used road, so walks in the neighborhood were safe and easy. There are nearby parks / playgrounds. Excursions into Falmouth and Portland took about 20-25 minutes. Owner was very friendly, however she was late in getting check-in information to me, causing some anxiety on my part... She did stay in contact during our visit to ensure we had everything we needed. All-in-all, a very good experience.

A truly lovely lake cottage with everything you need

Fayth Cottage is a gem - the perfect marriage of close to attractions of Portland/Casco Bay and Mid-Coast Maine, but also a refuge on a lake that you never need leave unless you want to. The modern kitchen is well outfitted for those who like to cook, with a Hannaford’s w/in a 15” drive. The grounds have multiple seating areas to enjoy the view, depending on time of day - the dock is situated for sunsets. The grill was most appreciated. There’s a two-person kayak (complete with PFDs, beach towels, etc) to explore Highland Lake. The finished basement allows a bit more privacy for teenagers or two family visitors. Teresa is a very accommodating host who answered our many questions with an attitude of generosity, aimed at helping us make the most of our vacation - not to mention the gifts of fresh veggies and homemade jam! We SO enjoyed our time in Maine, and will be back!

Lovely lakeside cottage

We loved staying on Highland Lake! I couldn't keep my two sons out of the lake, and the house was such a relaxing place to stay. Houses are really close together on this part of the lake but we barely noticed anyone else...felt peaceful all week long. The living areas are cozy and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were so many places to curl up and relax, both inside and out. We would love to come back someday!

Awesome Lake House!

I stayed at this property for a small family reunion this August and we had a blast! I was getting together with my siblings and my cousins and we loved the house and the lake. The house is beautiful, there is a great view from the living room right down to the water. The best part of all though was the lake, there is a long staircase down to the water and there is a deck to sit on and a dock as well. We spent all day outside swimming and using the kayak that was there and we also brought our paddleboards! It was fun to lounge with the fam this summer. There was also a space to have a campfire, which is always my favorite part of vacation. Teresa was great to rent from! She was so responsive and she even left a gift basket and a nice note for us when we arrived.

We spent an amazing week on Highland Lake in Maine. This lake is truly a hidden gem!

When we arrived at the cottage we were so happy with what we walked into! The place was so clean, the view was incredible and the space was perfect for our family of 5. Teresa was wonderful to work with, she told us all about the area, suggested things of interest and gave us recommendations of where to go. The location of this place is great if you want to fit any day trips in while on vacation. The lake was truly beautiful and serene. We swam, kayaked, paddle boarded and my son and husband went fishing one afternoon! The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. We also had s'mores at night around the camp fire. We will definitely be back next summer! One of our best family vacations ever!

Perfect Lakeside Getaway Spot

Hello, Thank you so much for the wonderful experience of staying in your sweet cottage by the lake. Normally my husband John and I head the other direction to South Jersey for a getaway. So delighted that we changed it up this time around. Your property is beautiful. Even the rain did not dampen our experience. Your cozy, serene cottage was the perfect place to pass the time. Your recommendations in Portland were spot on. We heeded your advice and found each and every place just as you described. We especially loved J's Oyster Bar and the new restaurant called Scales just one pier over. You are a too notch host and we will not hesitate to pass the word on to other travelers. Can't wait to see you again next year, but next time we will spending a week. Cheers, Jenni PS if I had to make one suggestion it would. be to hang a hammock, not that there aren't plenty of places to chill out already. But I can picture myself reading a great book while rocking to the sound of the water hitting your dock and nodding off for a perfect afternoon nap. THANKS!
