Beautiful spot. Very comfortable accommodation. Only problem is arrangements in master bedroom make it difficult to get in and out of bed and bathroom door can’t be closed.

Must Stay Cozy Getaway!

My 3 girlfriends and I stayed at Luke and Laura’s cozy lake side cabin in late June and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Newcastle area. The location was perfect, just under ten minutes from the main st area, with a ton of options to eat and shop! I highly recommend sunny side for breakfast and the shuck shack for lunch or dinner.

We had an amazing time at the lake!

We are four adult sisters, 60+. The cabin was comfortable, had everything we needed for a good stay. It’s located right on the water and so convenient to all the sightseeing we wanted to do. I would highly recommend as our stay far exceeded our expectations.

Always fun!

This is our second visit to the "Kayakers' Cabin" and just as wonderful! It's so nice to have the option of a few day's stay as opposed to a full week which is hard to do with work. Thank you for sharing your sweet spot on my favorite Maine lake!

Masterful! (lol)

Very much enjoyed the treehouse feeling of this cool place -- we had excellent July weather during our short stay; this was one of the places we stayed in on a two-week jaunt up and down the coast. Cool breezes, warm lake, very peaceful. The place is perfect for a couple or one family with a few kids. Has the added cachet of having been on an episode of "Maine Cabin Masters" some years back -- if you know, you know. Not luxurious, but that's not the point of a good summer camp! We loved it.

2nd stay and still love it!

You can't get closer to the water. There are multiple kayaks to use. The firepit is a decent size (which is readied for use with kindling stacked). The place is kept very clean and is stocked with essentials: coffee maker (brew, as well as keurig), typical kitchen ware, bathrooms have plenty of towels. We haven't used it yet, but there's a stacked laundry wash and dryer. We'll definitely go back!

Peaceful and lovely

We loved staying here for our anniversary! Warm sunny days and gentle breezes off the lake most days. Everything is provided that you might need with some fabulous lobster and restaurants close by. Our boat tour to see the Atlantic puffins was such a treat. Laura was very accommodating and helpful. A ten out of ten!

Perfect waterfront getaway

My husband and I adore this place and plan to return. It was clean and had everything we needed (kitchen and bathroom necessities, etc.). The cabin is right on the water (it appears to be a renovated boat house), has a large fire pit, has several kayaks and paddle boards for use, and has a large deck with a grill. Also had a hammock and a porch swing. It's the perfect summer weekend getaway!

Wonderful getaway

Our family of 4 had a lovely time kayaking on the lake and playing foosball and other games in the cabin. We took advantage of fun activities in the mid-coastal Maine region, as well, such as the botanical gardens, Hardy Boat Cruises, and enjoyed a couple of visits to Round Top Ice Cream. The cabin was a great little base for exploring the area as well as a wonderfully relaxing and beautiful location to enjoy. We were pleasantly surprised at how quiet the lake was during a July weekend.

Only two downsides to the property everything else was great! Getting to the property you need a higher clearance vehicle, or drive in the brush. Our van bottomed out each time if we didn't drive in the brush in 2 spots. If you're a bigger person or claustrophobic don't stay here because the shower is way too small for those. I'm claustrophobic, and a bigger person had a panic attack the first time. Otherwise, perfect stay, we would 100% come back. My husband loves it here, he had his coffee each morning by the water, and said he wishes we had a place like this at home!

Wonderful stay !

Wonderful and peaceful stay. We brought a small boat and were able to put it on the side by hand carrying it . Lots of kayaks and standup paddle boards as well as plenty of floats . Bottom half of house stays cool as it is built in to the hill. able to keep cool with fans . Great time ! Plenty of life jackets . Washer and dryer on the small side but we managed . Could have used maybe a brownie pan :) Pots and pans and kitchen stuff was well equipped. Great stay !

Amazing stay!

It's hard to put into words how wonderful this cottage it. Literally right on the lake. The lake was frozen so we were able to get out to the middle at night and see the milky way and again in the morning to catch the sunrise. The sunsets here are equally beautiful. Lots of activity on the ice. We saw some folks ice fishing, snow machines, cross country skiers, and even a float plane landed and took off a few times right outside our window! Luke thought of everything for sure. Many board games, smart TV, portable heater, extra blankets, and everything you need to cook meals. The wood stove was an added bonus. The bed was super comfortable and all the linens were clean and soft. Do not hesitate to book this place. You'll be glad you did.

Have stayed several times over the last few years. Love the proximity to town (and obviously the lake!). It's hard to take a full week off so the flexible schedule at the "Maine Cabin Master's" remodel is a real blessing.
