Access to the driveway and floating dock is shared between the Lakeside Cottage and the owner’s home, about 300 feet farther up the driveway. These two homes share about twelve acres of woods on a dead-end road, providing peace and privacy.

Thank you for taking the time to review my lakeside cottage, Hannah. I'm so glad you had a good time. I agree, the kitchen is basic - the typical Maine "camp" situation. But you may be interested to know that plans are in the works to add more storage, amenities, and functionality soon. In fact, this fall I am adding a washer & dryer, a bigger shower, and making more improvements. So check in again next season! Thanks again for taking the time to review.

A beautiful spot on a pond in Maine. Very peaceful and quiet, with a nice screened-in porch that helps keep out the bugs. The house is a cottage overlooking the pond with a couple of bedrooms and a loft. The kitchen area is small but functional, with fridge, propane stove, and microwave (no dishwasher, which is not unusual for this type of rental). Washer and dryer in one of the bedrooms. I believe the house was renovated recently, so it's pretty up-to-date and nice. The location is out in the woods, but the towns of Union and Waldoboro are not far away by car. A nice place to get away from it all for a while!

Idyllic cottage on a lake experience
Pretty much the quintessential Maine lake experience. Humble, but well maintained cottage on a lovely lake, only a 10-15 minute drive from groceries, restaurants, etc. We were just there as a couple, but it would be perfect for a family of 4.

Thank you for posting a review, and for your kind words. It is a classic - built right on the water, when you could still do that! We're continuing to add modern conveniences and improve the integrity of the cottage, while maintaining that traditional "cabin on the lake" feel. Stay tuned!

Charming Cottage
The cottage was exactly what we expected: a super cute semi-rustic cottage in the woods. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying nature. Our teenage boys loved fishing and kayaking. The location felt extremely private. We even saw three otters swimming by one morning while enjoying coffee on the screen porch.

Pure pleasure.
The cottage was fantastic. The kitchen is well equipped. Sitting on the screened in porch was awesome. We saw lots of wildlife and had a juvenile eagle fly by multiple times. It was centrally located for us (we don't mind driving) to the coastal towns. We would highly recommend this lakeside cottage.

Thank you for taking the time to review my cottage. We do have a pair of bald eagles that spend much of the year there at Medomak Pond, and it's always a thrill to be sitting out on the dock and see one glide overhead! We share the property with the beavers, porcupines, raccoons, deer, loons, woodpeckers, hummingbirds - and of course the chipmunks! So happy you had fun.

Quiet retreat on the lake
My family and I had a wonderful low tech retreat at Deirdre's lakeside cabin over the week of July 4th (we have T-Mobile which did not have coverage at the cabin). The space was cozy and comfortable for our family of four (two adults and two school aged kids). The pond was so much fun for the kids and adults alike and we took out the kayaks several times over the course of our stay. The location is very secluded but was still convenient to interesting locations including lighthouses, historical sites, and restaurants. I highly recommend staying at this cabin if you're looking for a quiet rustic retreat.

I'm so glad you had a good time, thank you for your review! We love the location, so private but still close to so many fun attractions. And thank you for letting me know about your experience with T-Mobile. Guests often ask about cell service, and since I have good service there with Verizon, it's helpful to have information about other providers. We look forward to better service from all providers in the future, as Maine keeps improving its broadband and cellular coverage. For now, it's just part of the "get away from it all" appeal!

1st Maine trip
In one word, tranquility!
Amazing property, literally only a few steps to the lake shore.
Very peaceful, yet many activities are within a 2 hour and closer drive.
Highly recommend staying here.
The only drawback is the lack of clothes washer and dryer on site.
Its a 15 minute drive to a laundromat in town.
Not a big deal or a deal breaker though.

Very nice and comfortable. We are seniors and the very small shower was a bit of a challenge. Den lighting could be better. I would just remove the tv. Even on perfectly clear days the satellite reception would go out. The lake was very quiet during our stay. A nice place to read and unwind

The cabin was perfect for our stay in Mid Coast Maine. Everything that we needed for our 3 week stay was provided. The setting in the woods, directly on the pond was wonderful. We practically had the pond to ourselves for kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing and viewing the amazing sunsets. The location was perfect for exploring the coast, quaint towns and lighthouses and was close to pickleball!

Medomak Pond
We had a perfect and restful vacation. We hit the weather just right, and the pond was like glass every evening for moonlit fishing. The cabin is basic but cozy and we were comfortable. Loved the quiet spot and the feeling of having the pond to ourselves. It was a wonderful vacation.

Awesome Property But Read the Listing
Our family spent a week here and absolutely loved this property. The cabin is small, but we were able to make it work for our family of four (2 adults, 17, 14). We considered renting a larger property further from the water, but we absolutely make the right choice.
This place is steps from the water, and the pond (lake?) was amazing. It's quiet and was a perfect place for a quiet day in between all the sight seeing we did.
Read the contract! This house has no laundry facilities and you must provide all linens and towels. We live on the West coast, and had to scramble a bit to meet this requirement. If you need laundry, there is a great full service laundromat a few miles down the road that turned our items around in just a few hours.
There's no internet here, if that's important to you. We brought a hotspot and were able to get an adequate connection for our needs (pro tip: best signal is in the kitchen window).
We would absolutely come back to this hidden gem.

Pretty and Peaceful
The cabin was just right for one or two couples. The view of the pond is beautiful and the area very peaceful. You can hear some traffic from across the pond, but it isn’t annoying. The cabin is well furnished and comfortable. The screened porch overlooking the pond makes it easy to be out doors, but not get bitten by mosquitoes. We spent most of out time there. The area is centrally located along the mid cost and makes it easy to get to the ocean, And all the mid cost cities. We did a lot of exploring. I highly recommend the rental.

Secluded lakefront cottage. Great fishing from wharf. Enjoyed the Lakeview and beautiful sunsets from screened in porch. Comfortable furniture. Small shower can be challenging. Required to bring own sheets and paper products, but this is made clear ahead of time. Kayak use included in rental. Very quiet. TV came in well, but no internet included. Verizon cell phone reception adequate. Easy drive to many great scenic & historic coastal destinations.

Thank you for taking the time to review my property, I'm so happy you enjoyed staying there. It's the perfect spot to get "back to nature" and also be close to so many Midcoast attractions. I do try to make sure the reasonable rental rate reflects the true value of the stay, so the cost of satellite internet is prohibitive. We love the place for its simplicity and location, just a stone's throw from the shoreline. That being said, we are raising and improving the cottage even more this winter. And we are petitioning for broadband on our private road, and hope to get it in the near future.

I purchased this from the long-time original owners, and I'm enjoying improving the property and sharing it with summer visitors to Midcoast Maine.
この宿泊施設のオーナーになった理由
Privacy - on 12 acres, on a private road, with acres of woods between us and the nearest neighbors. Lakefront - Medomak Pond is the perfect size, big enough to kayak or fish for hours but too small for noisy power boats. Location - between Boothbay Harbor and Camden, within an easy drive of dozens of great main streets and waterfront attractions.
この宿泊施設の特徴
After a day of touring bustling harborfronts, it's so relaxing to drive down our private dead-end road and return to a quiet oasis surrounded by shady woods and wildlife. And the central location is a short drive from all the attractions of Midcoast Maine.
