Welcome to your quintessential lakefront cottage in Wayne, Maine. Nestled on the shores of Pocasset Lake, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom home is designed for those looking to swap the noise of the world for the rhythm of lake life. From slow coffee mornings on the screened porch to glass-calm rows across the heart of the lake, this cottage is a sanctuary designed for the simple realization that you finally have nowhere else to be.
The Space
Our home is designed for comfort and connection, perfectly suited for couples or families. With an open layout and dedicated spaces for relaxation, you’ll find plenty of room to spread out or gather together.

The Heart of the Home: Our spacious open-concept living, dining, and kitchen area was designed to keep the focus where it belongs: the lake. Whether you’re prepping a local Maine meal in the kitchen or gathered around the dining table, the floor to ceiling views ensure you never miss a sunset or the sight of the loons on Pocasset Lake. It is the perfect setting for shared meals and slow, sun drenched afternoons.

Home Comforts/Essentials:
Unplugged Living Areas: You won't find a TV in our main living room or the enclosed porch. These spaces are intentionally reserved for the crackle of the grill, the call of the loons, and real conversation.
The Essentials: We provide high-speed Wi-Fi for your convenience, but we encourage you to leave the laptop closed and the notifications off.
Connection Over Consumption: We’ve traded the "noise" of multiple screens for a selection of board games, puzzles, and the best "show" in Maine, the view of Pocasset Lake right outside your door.
While the property does not feature an outdoor fire pit, you can still enjoy a cozy evening by the indoor, on demand propane fireplace, perfect for relaxing with a good book at the touch of a button.
Restorative Sleep: To ensure you wake up refreshed, the only HDTV in the home is tucked away in the primary suite for a quiet movie night before bed.
Plush Linens: Fresh linens and soft towels are provided for every guest, so you can pack light and focus on the lake.

Things to Note:
Kayaks: We have a kayak and a canoe and assorted life jackets for use. A release form is required for use of kayaks.
While we strive to keep the cabin spotless, you're on the lake in a wooded area in central Maine, where even our best efforts can't keep every curious critter away. You may spot an insect or two indoors. Consider them your cabin companions here to complete the authentic lakeside experience!
Inclement Weather: We are in a quiet lakeside community and may experience brief power outages during storms. We have someone who plows the driveway, and shovels are provided for your convenience.
