About this property

Charming 2BR Lakefront Cottage on Serene Cobbossee w/ Kayaks, A/C

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful lakefront retreat on Cobbosseecontee Lake. Lovingly remodeled by the owner and his family, this charming two-bedroom cottage beautifully blends the rustic soul of a Maine cabin with thoughtful modern updates. Every corner reflects their care — from the refreshed kitchen and newly added shiplap accents, updated bathrooms, expanded lower level, and even the relocated porch posts that now frame an unobstructed lake view.

The main level welcomes you with a full kitchen, cozy dining area, spacious living room, full bath with washer/dryer, and a screened porch that invites you to linger over morning coffee or evening sunsets. Downstairs, the walk-out lower level offers two comfortable bedrooms, a second bathroom, and a sunlit open deck perfect for soaking in the stunning lake views.

Step outside to explore all the lake has to offer — whether you’re paddling out in the provided kayaks, swimming, or simply relaxing by the water’s edge. This retreat is a place where memories are made, laughter lingers on the porch, and the simple joys of Maine’s natural beauty come to life.

We loved this place. Very comfortable. Location perfect. The view from the bottom deck was worth a million dollars. Great area to stay in. Very quiet. Planning a trip for next year already.

The cabin was nice and in a great location however when we arrived the cabin had not been cleaned beds weren't made and trash not removed. We notified host, they were very responsive, and apologetic and sent a cleaning service. The lake was great and having a boat rental service on the lake worked out perfect.

The cottage was fine, but we could not park a boat and trailer on property. They let us park up the steep road to a spot but a bit of work to hook up boat.

Nice house right on the lake. We had issues with the water supply on the first day but it was corrected on the second day. Communication regarding the water issue could have been better.

Host profile image
Forrest and Liz, a couple from Salem, Massachusetts, are the heart and hands behind this charming lakefront cottage. Drawn to the natural beauty and peaceful rhythm of Cobbosseecontee Lake, they lovingly transformed this home into a luxurious retreat—not only for themselves, but for guests to enjoy as well.

What began as a personal getaway quickly turned into a passion project. Together, they remodeled the cottage with care and intention, updating the kitchen, adding beautiful shiplap details, refreshing the bathrooms, expanding the lower level, and even relocating the porch posts to capture the most breathtaking, unobstructed lake views.

Forrest and Liz are thrilled to share this special place where their own happiest memories have been made. Whether it’s a quiet morning coffee on the porch, an afternoon paddle on the lake, or a cozy evening by the fire, they’ve designed the cottage to offer guests the same sense of comfort, adventure, and connection to nature that they treasure so much themselves.

Why they chose this property

Forrest and Liz were drawn to this peaceful spot on Cobbosseecontee Lake for its rare blend of natural beauty, tranquility, and classic Maine charm. They fell in love with the friendly, tight-knit community, the calm waters perfect for paddling and swimming, and the breathtaking lake views that change with the seasons. For them, this neighborhood offered not just a retreat from busy life in Salem, Massachusetts, but a place where they could slow down, connect with nature, and create lifelong memories with family and friends. They chose it with the dream of sharing that same experience with guests — offering a true escape where people can relax, recharge, and fall in love with lake life.

What makes this property unique

This lakefront cottage is more than just a place to stay — it’s a carefully crafted retreat where every detail reflects Forrest and Liz’s love for lake life. What sets it apart is the perfect balance of rustic Maine charm and thoughtful luxury. From the beautifully remodeled kitchen and shiplap accents to the updated baths and expanded lower level, the cottage was designed to feel both cozy and elevated.

One of its standout features is the unobstructed lake view, made possible when Forrest and Liz relocated the porch posts — turning an already beautiful space into a front-row seat for sunrises, sunsets, and everything in between. Guests love the screened porch, the included kayaks, the private deck, and the feeling of serenity that wraps around you the moment you arrive. It’s a home that invites you to slow down, explore, and make lasting memories — just as the owners have done themselves.
