Notes
- We are pet-friendly, kid-friendly and eco-friendly! We accept almost all pets. (We are pet owners ourselves!) Please include in your reservation request what kind of pet you would like to bring and what breed. (The breed is particularly important since we can't preapprove peoples' booking requests until we know what breed of dog.) Also, please include in your request that you are nonsmokers as we only accept nonsmokers. Thank you! Please note that the cottage is rustic and does not have heat though we provide heating blankets on the beds in the bedrooms in the cooler weather. Also, please note that the water from faucets is from the lake so is not recommended for drinking (though it's fine for showering and doing dishes). Please use the gallon of water in the fridge that we provide for drinking. We hope you have a wonderful time at Blueberry Cove Cottage! :) Please let us know if you have any questions. We are a family business and we want all guests to have a great time!

Ask a questionAbout Carol Gray
Hello! My husband, Jeff, and his brothers own this cottage which has been handed down from one generation to the next for decades. Their grandfather bought the property many years ago. My husband, Jeff, and I and our 12 year old son love spending time on Tripp Lake. It's so relaxing and peaceful. We heard the loons calling almost every night when we visited this summer.
Carol Gray purchased this Cottage in 1950
Why Carol Gray chose Poland
We love this property because the lake is right out the window, the beach and the raft are great for swimming and it's so nice to use the paddle boat and canoe. It's also a great location. We love hiking at the network of trails at Poland Springs, visiting the 24-hour LLBean store in Freeport, going to Portland for shopping or exploring, going to the Maine Wildlife Park down the road. In the right season, the blueberry picking is terrific right outside the door!
What makes this Cottage unique
This is a cozy cottage and we have some families or couples who enjoy returning, creating their own family tradition with a special vacation spot. The lake is serene and beautiful with wildlife and a lovely cove to explore. It's wonderful place for children of any age and a wonderful place for a romantic getaway for couples. If you casinos, the Oxford one is about 15 minutes away. We happily accept most pets and all children! :)
