About this property

Discover the Perfect Maine Escape on Long Lake, Bridgton. The Way Life Should Be

Nestled among the trees on beautiful Long Lake, this recently renovated cabin offers the very best of Maine living in Bridgton—“the place for all seasons.” Enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the beach and dock, with the soothing sound of Stevens Brook cascading over the rocks and the distant call of loons. Just 250 feet away, a private beach (shared with one other home) invites you to swim, boat, or simply relax by the water.
The cabin comfortably sleeps guests in three bedrooms: a primary suite with a queen bed and private bath, a bunk room with two bunks and full-size futons, and a third bedroom with full-size beds. With ample closet space, a fully stocked spacious kitchen, and the convenience of a washer and dryer, you’ll have all the comforts of home.
Close to Bridgton Center, North Conway, and Freeport for shopping and dining, this lakeside retreat is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy Maine before the summer crowds arrive.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of four. It was clean, had enough space for all of us and just a short walk to the lake. We enjoyed our time on the lake fishing and paddling. Bridgton has so much to offer - museums, parks, shopping and good eats. If we make it back to Long Lake, this cabin would be our first choice.

We enjoyed our weekend getaway in Bridgton. The promise of bald eagle sightings was a big draw and we were not disappointed! We enjoyed multiple sightings of one adult and one sub-adult. The sounds of the loons across the lake were so beautiful. The house was clean and comfortable and the check in process was super easy. The owners live next door and were available to answer any questions, but did not hover. No complaints at all. Don’t miss the Bavarian Chocolate place or Beth’s Cafe. Highly recommend!

Relaxing on the Lake

We had a delightful and relaxing stay at this charming cottage, which truly captures the essence of lakeside tranquility. I highly recommend this hidden gem for family getaways. The fire pit next to the horseshoe game, set against a sandy backdrop, provides a perfect setting for quality family time.

About the host

Hosted by Maureen Doherty

Host profile image
We've been enjoying all that Bridgton has to offer for 22 years. We found this lovely town when we used to camp at Point Sebago and decided to make it our permanent home away from home. Our time on Long Lake has given us so many wonderful family memories. We are hoping that staying at this Cabin will create happy memories and have you coming back again for the "best vacation ever".

Why they chose this property

This home will allow you the opportunity to relax, play and make wonderful memories in a beautiful setting. The property is family-friendly and features a campfire area, basketball hoop, open field in a small lakeside community. The property is immaculately kept, comfortable and cozy. Located in Bridgton, this home embraces that Bridgton is a place for all seasons. we are steps away from the semi-private beach with a sandy shallow entrance. We are available for rental for the entire ski season. Minutes away from Shawnee Peak , within an hour drive to Sunday River and many New Hampshire ski areas.

What makes this property unique

This home has recently been completely updated. The cabin is steps away from the beach, on the snowmobile trails, hiking trails, walking distance to Town and all that it has to offer. 10 minutes from Shawnee Peak ski mountain and less than an hour drive to numerous other ski areas. 25 minutes from North Conway, 45 minutes to Portland and Freeport. Bridgton also has a regional hospital and urgent care center.
