Lakeside Maine cabin
Very nice and comfortable. We are seniors and the very small shower was a bit of a challenge. Den lighting could be better. I would just remove the tv. Even on perfectly clear days the satellite reception would go out. The lake was very quiet during our stay. A nice place to read and unwind

Charming Cottage
The cottage was exactly what we expected: a super cute semi-rustic cottage in the woods. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Our teenage boys loved fishing and kayaking. The location felt extremely private. We even saw three otters swimming by one morning while enjoying coffee on the screen porch.

About the host

Hosted by Deirdre

Host profile image
I purchased this from the long-time original owners, as my future summer retirement home, and I'm enjoying improving the property and sharing it with summer visitors to Midcoast Maine. I spend many weeks here in the off-season working on the houses and the grounds.

Why they chose this property

Privacy - on 12 acres, on a private road, no neighbors within sight of the two houses on this property.
Lakefront - Medomak Pond is the perfect size, big enough to kayak or fish for hours but too small for noisy power boats
Location - between Boothbay Harbor and Camden, within an easy drive of dozens of great attractions and the ocean.
