Our second visit was wonderful. The cottage had everything we needed and the beach at the lake is perfect. We enjoyed using the kayaks, playground, and fire pit as well. The neighbors were all very kind and even took us out on his boat for a few hours. My kids are already asking when we can go back!

This is a very cute cabin, rustic, tidy, comfy, and for the most part quiet. There are friendly neighbors you can interact with them or not. The only thing I would have added is either some coffee or coffee machine that has capsules, and that a couple are left in the house for the first morning. It was a little chilly in the morning, but we did have access to heat even though it’s a rustic cabin/cottage.. This cabin is very close to a popular wedding venue so consider it if you’re looking to book for a wedding.. the property does have access to the lake about 150 feet away, but it was a little cool. We didn’t have a lot of time that particular weekend as we were attending an event.. They do have a water equipment under the cottage for your use. That would’ve been fun. Had we had time.

Cottage is comfortable and Liz has everything there for you that you would need to make yourself at home. The washer and dryer is a special perk of this cottage. Beautiful sandy beach area and clean, clear lake. Easy access to the town and so much to do in the area. Gorgeous sunsets on the lake.

Relaxation in Vacationland

We loved staying at Liz's beautifully restored and maintained cabin. The home was impeccably clean, the beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well appointed and the screen porch overlooking the community space and playground was perfect. The lake and beach area were beautiful and perfect for our family. Thank you for sharing your space with us!

Just like I remember

We had an amazing stay at the cabin. I went to "Camp Brookline" every summer for 20+ years from birth and it was amazing to be back. My kids would spend all day at the beach and town is so close, we'll be back every year.

Lakeside Time Machine

As a kid, I summered just a few doors down from the Brookline Cottages, and am pleased to report the property offers a wondrous vibe decades in the making. The screen doors, the cribbage board coffee table, the woodwork -- everything said "chill here." Big ups to Liz, my responsive host. The beach was steps away, with kayaks and other amenities at your fingertips. Plus, the "neighbors" -- mostly owners from what I could tell --were quite welcoming, to the point where one generous gent took me on a pontoon boat ride, during which we traded stories of summers past. As I think of it, the lake isn't the only thing that's fluid here. So is time itself.

47th Anniversary Getaway

Liz was great to deal with! The cottage is sweet and comfy and just a very short walk to the water. In spite of a little autumn chill, I found it peaceful to sit by the water at night to look at the stars (no light pollution!) Took one of the kayaks out one evening while hubs fished a bit. We found this location convenient for day trips like the White Mountains, hiking, Fryeburg Fair, and loved the lovely town of Bridgton. The bridge in Pondicherry Park is a mathematical marvel! We even found a little movie theater! Beth's Cafe and Morning Glory Cafe were great finds! Enjoyed a round of golf up the road, too! Beautiful! Met a lot of friendly people! Thanks Liz!!

A slice of heaven

It exceeded my expectations and was everything I dreamt it would be. A very cozy and charming cabin, equipped with just about everything a person may need. We did not want for a thing other than sunshine. (Lots of rain.😊) The owners of this cabin have put a lot of thought into the contents of the home. The outdoor shower is a must. The cabin was immaculate and neat as a pin. I tried to leave it that way….. Honestly, when you walk in the front door, first impression is “ahhhh’l it just brings a smile to your face. I hope to go back sometime soon. MG

Perfect, classic Maine cottage in an ideal location

This is a perfect cottage on a pristine lake in a friendly neighborhood with its own playground for the kiddos. Plenty of waterfront options to enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or just sitting lakeside enjoying the afternoon sun. Cottage is just as described - kitchen is well-equipped, entire cottage super clean, cute artwork and comfortable furniture and beds. Nice seating options outside of cottage with nice landscaping touches of seasonal flowers, there's an outdoor shower and gas grill is clean and works perfectly. And so close to Bridgton center with a mandatory visit to Renys (a Maine must-do), Saturdays farmers market with so much to choose from, casual eateries and coffee shops and a bonus - a seafood/lobster market that's a 2 min drive away that will steam your lobsters for you. Definitely a 5+ property and owner was extremely responsive. Such a great getaway and experience and is a do-again!! Kudos to the owners for their attention to detail - thank you!

Fantastic location. Beautiful, clean little beach, large concrete dock / patio area that extends into the lake ending in a vinyl floating dock that is perfect for diving into the crystal-clear lake. Water depth at the end of the dock looks to be 8-9 feet. There’s also a detached floating platform about 15’ from the dock which was perfect for sunning, jumping & diving.The cottage was a classic New England lake house with lots of pine floors and walls. The screened-in porch was roomy and received a nice lake breeze every afternoon. The A/C and Mitsubishi split came in handy during the one super hot day war had. Everything was super clean and the bedrooms were just right. Although it was just my wife and I during this stay, I would highly recommend this cottage to a family with 2-3 young children (e.g, age 2 -10) The gentle sloping sandy beach is perfect for toddlers and the dock / float is fun for the older kids. One master bedroom for adults and one bedroom with 2 twins for kids provide plenty of room. The center of Bridgton is small but charming. We had a dinner at Elevation Sushi & Tacos that would earn raves in Portland or Boston. Finally, all the neighbors were extremely friendly. All in all, it was an amazing stay.

Is this heaven?... maybe it's Maine

Liz and Rick's place for us is a little slice of heaven. It is a cabin where you can make memories of a lifetime and enjoy the gentle bliss that is the lake country in Maine . The cabin was super clean when we got there. The rooms are a nice size. The sounds of the trees and of nature from the screened in porch is super relaxing and its a great place to watch your kids as they play in the playground below. The beds are very comfortable. Rick and Liz equipped the cabin with everything from plasticware to all the kitchen utensils, and also books for kids and adults, games for a rainy day, tons of extra blankets and towels and even beach towels. In addition we had a couple of minor issues and the second we reached out to Liz and Rick, they popped over to help us out and fixed it. It's also about the small details for them. Over the years, they've added so many amazing little touches. This time we really loved the fairy lights they put on the porch, which made eating dinners at night into an enchanting experience. Amazing Cabin. Amazing Hosts. Amazing Service. Amazing experience. We can't wait to come back!

Liz's property has modern amenities with the open, traditional feel of a Maine cabin. The landscaping is lovely, and the cabin is cute and comfortable. The only thing that would make it better would be a two week stay instead of ony one.

I stayed in these cabins growing up with my best friend’s family and it was great to be back with my own kids! They loved the cabin and the beach as well as the several playgrounds we visited that were close by. The cabin is also super close to town and lots of options for dining or takeout. Liz was a great host and was very responsive when we had questions. We will definitely be back!

This was the perfect rental for our stay. It is the good kind of rustic cottage. It has everything you need. Super clean. The lake is right outside, a very short walk away. I was surprised to find the water temperate for swimming in June. A pleasant surprise. It was a hot stay so I was happy the AC works just fine. But most memorable is the cabin ambiance. It was so relaxing and enjoyable spending time there.

Nice little cottage close to downtown

Great size for the two of us, there was also a second bedroom, so it could be a good house for a small family as well. Loved the three season porch, even if the October mornings on it were brisk! We really value walkability in a rental property and were thrilled this was just a 10 minute walk to downtown Bridgton.

Quaint Cottage Community

Our quaint cottage within Bridgton's Brookline Housekeeping Cottages community was exactly as advertised. It is perfectly appointed with attractive furnishings, everything we could have needed, right down to the frosted glasses in the refrigerator! There are comfortable beds in the two generous bedrooms and an efficient kitchen area,. The living area contains a comfortable couch and rocking chairs and opens onto a spacious screened porch with couch, comfortable chairs for reading and an attractive eating area. On the grounds are a grill, picnic table and more comfortable sitting areas. The cottage is located within walking distance of Bridgton, a typical Maine town which includes gift shops, art galleries, a Reny's Department Store, grocery stores, restaurants and even a Bavarian Chocolate Shop! The cottage community, which has a beach on Highland Lake, is located within a ten minute drive of Pleasant Mountain and Moose Lake and is within a mile of the Bridgton Golf Course.

Perfect getaway!

The cottage was welcoming from the time you walked in. Neighbors were friendly and Rick checked in to make sure we were all set. We enjoyed being out on the lake and sitting on the porch in the evenings. The downtown was a great place for walking and getting the yummy lattes at Beth’s cafe.
