Dog-friendly Maine 1 BR lakeside cottage with WiFi, laundry, and full kitchen.
Your cozy getaway awaits in Augusta at this charming lakeside cottage. With 1 bedroom featuring a plush queen bed, it's the perfect retreat for couples or solo guests with/without pets. Amenities include WiFi, in-window AC in the bedroom + living room, full kitchen, and a washer/dryer. A ramp from the driveway to the deck, walk-in shower with grab bars, and a low step into the house make it friendly for people with mobility issues. The large deck out front has a table and chairs for outdoor dining, and a smaller deck out back lets you take coffee with lake views.
The yard is fenced and dogs are welcome as long as the dog is not a puppy (for the sake of the furniture!). Owners of dogs under 30 lb need to be mindful that they might wriggle under the gate; we recommend small dogs stay leashed and supervised. And yes, we do allow multiple dogs, but please let us know if it's more than two.
Early risers will be rewarded with pastel sunrises over still waters; night owls can watch the stars reflect in the water from the back deck. Relax in the recliner and listen to the loons calling, golf at the nearby links, walk down by the Kennebec River, visit historic Old Fort Western, go antiquing in Hallowell, or bring your fishing rod and try for bass or pickerel in the pond. Our property provides a comfortable and inviting home away from home—off the beaten path, but it's only a 15- to 20-minute drive to restaurants, shopping, and more.

About the host
Hosted by Elizabeth Hamblin
We are Mark and Elizabeth, a older couple still raising our kids on a farm an hour or so south of our cottage. Elizabeth's parents lived in the Augusta area for 40 years and the cottage has been in her family for many years. We're not quite ready to retire yet, so until the day comes that we sell the farm, pack up our dogs, and send our two remaining teenagers out on their own, we're hosting travelers who want the Maine woods-and-waters experience that we love so much.
Why they chose this property
It's a quiet and peaceful location with natural beauty, yet everything you could want or need is just a quick drive down Rt. 3. It's close enough to the coast to get to the attractions there without having to fight too much traffic (even in summah!) and having renovated the house ourselves in 2014—Mark is a master carpenter—we know it's snug and warm in winter.
What makes this property unique
It has that perfect combination of being away from it all but close to everything. There are restaurants, grocery stores, hardware stores, pharmacies, places to walk or ride bikes, a golf course, and even the hospital is only 15 minutes down the road. The sunsets are breathtaking and the pond itself has many beautiful moods. Coastal Maine communities such as Ellsworth, Damariscotta, and Rockland are only about an hour away, and they have galleries, restaurants, and seaside attractions that make it worth the trip.
