About this property
Discover the Perfect Maine Escape on Long Lake, Bridgton. The Way Life Should Be
Nestled among the trees on beautiful Long Lake, this recently renovated cabin offers the very best of Maine living in Bridgton—“the place for all seasons.” Enjoy peaceful mornings overlooking the beach and dock, with the soothing sound of Stevens Brook cascading over the rocks and the distant call of loons. Just 250 feet away, a private beach (shared with one other home) invites you to swim, boat, or simply relax by the water. The cabin comfortably sleeps guests in three bedrooms: a primary suite with a queen bed and private bath, a bunk room with two bunks and full-size futons, and a third bedroom with full-size beds. With ample closet space, a fully stocked spacious kitchen, and the convenience of a washer and dryer, you’ll have all the comforts of home. Close to Bridgton Center, North Conway, and Freeport for shopping and dining, this lakeside retreat is the perfect place to unwind and enjoy Maine before the summer crowds arrive.

Thank you for your kind words. Enjoying the sunrises on the dock is heavenly especially this time of the year when the lake is quiet. I hope to see you again !
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!

We‘re so happy that you enjoyed your stay. We try to make sure we anticipate the needs of our guests. Our camp is close to everything, yet private and off the beaten path.
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.

Thank you! We enjoyed your family staying with us. We were happy to see that you took advantage of the yard games and had quality time by the fire pit. We appreciate your suggestion of putting the address number on the house. We will be doing that this weekend. I hope we do see you back!
The house was nice for the seven of us and the location on the lake was fantastic. It is nestled in the woods but just a mile walk to a grocery store and downtown area.

Thank you for your kind words. Your family was lovely. I am happy that “our eagle” was a frequent visitor. I’m happy that you enjoyed this hidden treasure. It was a pleasure to meet you. Maureen & Bill
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.

We are very happy to hear how much you enjoyed your stay. Thank you for the compliments.
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!

Bill, We were happy to have you stay with us for your annual fishing weekend. Your secrets of good spots are safe with us. WE hope you and your family come back next year. Maureen & Bill
Stayed for a couple days. Just wanted to be close to Shawnee Peak. Property would have been great if I wanted to go snowmobiling as well. Perfect place to park a truck and trailer.

Thank you! We enjoyed having you come to stay with us! Our spot is ideal for anyone with a boat or sleds, we have plenty of parking, close to the trails and provide dock space.
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.
The house had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. Furnished simply and clean. Hosts were helpful, hospitable, and friendly. Nice to have view of the lake from the house and the dock was perfect for our boat. Thank you!

Thank You! We loved meeting you and having you stay with us!
Everything was as advertised. The house was clean and welcoming when we arrived. Perfect small beach and dock area where my kids loved swimming and catching fish.
Maureen & Bill were helpful with info about the lake and the area. This place is a 5 min drive from downtown Bridgton which made it easy to get groceries, go to Rennys and there are several good restaurants close by as well.
Definitely a prime family vacation spot!

Our time on Long Lake has given us so many wonderful family memories. We are hoping that staying at this Cabin will create happy memories and have you coming back again for the "best vacation ever".
