About this property

Cozy Keyes Cottage | Lakefront • Dock • Kayaks

Summary:
Cozy Keyes Cottage is your peaceful lakefront escape on Cobbosseecontee Lake — a hidden gem in Winthrop, Maine. With a private dock, kayaks, a fire pit, and room for up to five guests, this well-appointed cottage blends comfort and charm with direct access to the water. Whether you’re sipping coffee while listening to the loons, paddling the cove, or gathering around the fire pit under the stars, this is where memories are made — in every season.

The Space:
Step into a lakeside haven that blends rustic warmth with thoughtful comfort. Cozy Keyes Cottage is a two-bedroom, one-bath getaway designed for guests who love the outdoors as much as the indoors.

As you enter, you’re welcomed by a fully equipped kitchen — complete with oven, stove, microwave, fridge, cookware, and a Keurig stocked with assorted pods. Whether it’s your first coffee of the day or a family dinner after a long paddle, this kitchen is set up for simple, enjoyable meals.

The living room sits just off the kitchen, with large windows that frame the lake just steps away. A loveseat and two cushioned chairs create a perfect nook for reading or watching your favorite shows on the wall-mounted TV. The decor is cozy, inviting, and unmistakably Maine.

The first bedroom offers a king-size bed and dual bureaus, giving you space to fully unpack and feel at home. The second bedroom includes one full-sized bed and one twin, ideal for kids or additional guests. A full bathroom with a soaking tub, plush towels, and personal toiletries completes the space.

But what makes this cottage truly special is what lies just outside your door: a private deck with lounge seating and a gas grill, a gentle lawn that leads right to the water, and uninterrupted access to Cobbosseecontee Lake — one of Maine’s most beloved lakes.

Whether you’re stargazing by the fire pit, casting a line off the dock, or watching loons glide across the cove, this is a space designed to help you slow down and savor every moment.

Whether you’re visiting in summer for kayaking and swimming, during the fall for brilliant foliage and peaceful walks, or in winter for snowmobiling and ice fishing right from the shoreline, Cozy Keyes Cottage offers something special in every season. Cobbosseecontee Lake is widely regarded as one of Maine’s top bass fishing destinations and regularly hosts popular tournaments, including the state’s largest single-benefit team event. It’s a true year-round escape designed to make memories no matter when you visit.

Guest Access:
Guests have full and private access to the entire cottage and surrounding outdoor spaces.

Step outside to your own dock, where you can launch one of the included kayaks, paddleboards, or the canoe for a quiet trip around the cove. Enjoy the BBQ grill on the deck for lakeside meals, and gather around the fire pit in the evenings for s’mores and stargazing.

Whether you’re fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just relaxing by the water, everything you need is right here — and available year-round. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a playground for ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skating, all just steps from your door.

The Neighborhood:
We are lucky to be a part of Winthrop, Maine! There are so many charming local shops and eateries nearby in downtown Winthrop. We are down the road from one of the most famous ice cream shoppes in Maine, Fielders Choice! If you are new to Maine or new to this area, we definitely recommend! The theater at Monmouth is always a great family outing if you happen to be visiting when a production is playing! We are close to Hannaford (a local grocery store) in downtown Winthrop as well as in Augusta as well!

Here at the cottage, our quaint neighborhood is quiet and serene. You will find more noise made by the loons than anything else! The quiet dirt road let’s guests walk around and look at the surroundings. Feel free to adventure as best as you can in this very small neighborhood! The local neighbors are all friendly and welcoming.

Getting Around:
Cozy Keyes Cottage is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Winthrop and a short drive to Augusta. The public boat launch is nearby, and guests can dock their boats right at the cottage.

Within walking distance, you’ll find Lakeside Marina, which offers baked goods, sandwiches, convenience items, and boat rentals. The popular White Duck Restaurant & Pub is just a two-minute walk away and perfect for a casual lakeside meal.

Guests can easily explore the area by car, but many choose to stay close and enjoy the peaceful surroundings on foot or by water.

Other Things to Note:
Just a short walk from the cottage, Lakeside Marina offers boat and jet ski rentals, baked goods, convenience items, and more. Guests are welcome to dock rental boats right in front of the cottage, making it easy to get out on the water whenever the mood strikes.

We’re also happy to welcome pets at Cozy Keyes Cottage, because we know they’re part of the family. If you’re bringing a pet, please let us know in advance — a $195 pet fee applies. To help us maintain a clean and comfortable space, we kindly ask that pets stay off the furniture and that owners pick up after them, both inside and outside the cottage.

Whether you’re visiting in the warm summer months or during the snowy season, Cozy Keyes offers a peaceful, private escape year-round — perfect for swimming, fishing, kayaking, or ice fishing and snowmobiling right from the shoreline.

We’re always available by phone or text if you need anything during your stay. Whether you have a question, a special request, or just want local recommendations, don’t hesitate to reach out.

Excellent experience

This cottage was the perfect place for a small family reunion for a water-loving bunch. Feras went out of his way to welcome us and make us feel at home with the many special touches (welcome basket, goodies, etc.). The cottage provides a well-equipped kitchen. Having use of kayaks, canoe and fire pit added so much to our experience. I highly recommend this place!

Love Cozy Keys

We had another amazing week at Cozy Keys. I must say that Feras and team do an awesome job preparing their VRBO for their guests. Every big AND small detail is to perfection. Cozy Keys has everything you need upon arrival. Feras is also available at a moments notice if needed. His communication is on point. We will definitely be back again in 2025.

Lakeside beauty and amazing accommodations!

I'd never seen such an accommodating and responsive host in my life! Feras reached out frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. In fact, prior to our stay, we reached out with concern over the record high temps that were expected. So, even though the unit already has a strong mini-split system, he went out and got two brand new bedroom window AC units for us!The house was as expected and very comfortable. Everything in great condition. Two good sized bedrooms, comfortable living room large Roku TV. Gas kitchen, probably could use a few more pot/pan sizes, but other than that was fully stocked. New wood deck with grill, firepit, your own dock and paddleboats, kayaks and canoe. We took the canoe for a little spin around the lake. Soooo beautiful. Great location, right on the water, 7 minutes from Rt 95, gas stations, supermarket, coffee all a few minutes away, and a nice restaurant/brewpub a 1 minute walk.Neighbors are relatively close on the sides, so it's not like a wooded/isolated area, but we hardly ever saw anyone anyway. and we had more than enough space and privacy.Next time we stay in the area, we'll defiitely look for this unit

In Augusta for Family Reunion

The property was right on the lake, very clean and well-equipped. Feras was very professional and helpful to us -- always prompt to respond to a question. The only reason we gave it a 3 star for location was the traffic noise from rt. 202 was almost non stop. Though it did not bother us much, dogs are more sensitive.

Blissful stay at Cozy Keys Cottage

Our family of three had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Everything was perfect—fully equipped and supplied, near a fishing lodge where we rented a pontoon and bought fishing equipment, and secluded but not so remote. The house was very clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, canoeing, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Feras left us a lovely basket of snacks and fresh-cut flowers and was so communicative. I highly recommend Cozy Keys Cottage!

About the host

Hosted by Feras Alkurabi

Host profile image
I grew up in the heart of the city, surrounded by buildings, traffic, and a constant buzz of activity. Nature wasn’t part of my everyday life — it was something distant, something I only saw in postcards or movies. It wasn’t until much later that I truly discovered the peace, simplicity, and grounding beauty of the natural world. That discovery changed everything.

Hosting became my way of sharing that experience with others — to give people a chance to slow down, reconnect with the outdoors, and savor quiet moments they don’t get enough of in their daily lives. I now manage a collection of unique lakefront properties throughout Maine, and every one of them is designed with thoughtfulness, comfort, and charm. Whether it’s waking up to the sound of loons, soaking in a private hot tub under the stars, or simply enjoying coffee by the water, I want each guest to leave feeling more rested, more inspired, and more connected — to nature, to each other, and even to themselves.

This work is deeply personal to me. I pour my heart into every property and every guest experience. From the layout and design to the small details that make a stay memorable, I want people to feel cared for and at home. For me, hosting is about creating spaces where guests feel welcome, appreciated, and surrounded by beauty. It’s about giving others the kind of escape I never knew I needed — until I found it for myself.

Why they chose this property

Cobbosseecontee Lake is one of Maine’s true hidden gems — a long, winding lake known for its quiet coves, peaceful mornings, and some of the best bass fishing in the Northeast. We chose this neighborhood because it offers the full lakefront experience: direct water access, calm natural beauty, and just enough nearby convenience to make your stay effortless.

Our properties sit right on the shore, with private docks, clear views of the water, and ideal spots for swimming, kayaking, or simply relaxing with a good book and a breeze. The lake has a unique rhythm — active but never busy, tranquil but never dull. It’s perfect for families, couples, or anyone looking to unplug and soak in the slower pace of Maine lake life.

What makes this neighborhood truly special is its location. You’re just minutes from downtown Winthrop and a short drive to both Augusta and beautiful Hallowell — a small, artistic riverside town full of galleries, live music, and incredible food. Guests can enjoy a peaceful lakeside morning, then head out for an afternoon of exploring, dining, or shopping before returning to the stillness of the water.

We chose Cobbosseecontee because it has heart. It’s the kind of place that welcomes you in, offers space to breathe, and keeps calling you back.

What makes this property unique

Cozy Keyes Cottage stands out for its idyllic lakeside setting, offering guests direct access to the water with a private dock, kayaks, a canoe, and paddle boards. The cottage combines rustic charm with modern comforts, including a fully equipped kitchen and a spacious deck overlooking the lake. Whether you're looking to relax by the water, explore the outdoors, or simply unwind in a peaceful environment, Cozy Keyes Cottage provides a perfect retreat. The serene location, paired with the warmth and comfort of the cottage, makes it a truly unique getaway.
