Covered Porch Cottage on First Eel River Lake

Covered Porch Cottage sits right on First Eel River Lake in Maxwell, NB — a quiet corner of York County where the pace slows down the moment you turn off the highway. It's a three-bedroom lakefront cottage with a private dock, a canoe, a covered porch, and everything you need for a proper stay on the water.

The cottage has been updated for modern use without losing what makes a lake place feel right. There's high-speed Starlink internet if you need it, a Weber grill for evenings outside, and a covered porch that's exactly where you'll end up spending most of your time. The kitchen is fully equipped, the bedrooms are comfortable, and the dock puts you directly on the lake.

It's the kind of place where the morning starts with coffee on the porch watching the mist come off the water, the afternoon disappears on the lake, and the evening ends around the firepit. The bass and chain pickerel fishing is genuinely good. The canoe is there for whenever you want it. And Buddy's Place — ice cream, mini golf, lawn games — is a short walk up the road.

We have some of the best neighbours - they are our friends and some are family - so, please be respectful to ensure everyone is able to quietly enjoy the lake. Please be aware that the cottages on this lake are close together, lake lots were subdivided in the 1960s into 50 feet of lakefront each to maximized affordability as the community was being developed. This makes being a good neighbour especially important.
