We had an excellent stay at the cabin! We loved the close proximity to the lake and had a great time taking the provided kayaks to the sandbar! The close proximity to downtown Bridgeton made for great walks for lunch and checking out the shops. Will definitely return!

Beautiful lake house! Clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. We loved mornings on the deck, afternoons kayaking, and evenings by the fire pit. Peaceful setting but close to town—perfect getaway. We’d definitely stay again!

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.

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.

Perfect for quiet lake weekend

Spent the weekend for a father son getaway. Water access from the house was great. Really quick ride (< 5 mins) to downtown Bridgeton so we could pop down to a restaurant or bar. Maureen and Bill were friendly, welcoming and gracious hosts. Would stay here again, it was everything we were looking for.

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!
