About this property

Pond side get away

Relax in our jacuzzi, while enjoying the breathtaking sunsets over the pond and listening to the loons. Cook fresh Maine lobster on the gas grill. Enjoy the quiet evenings on the screened porch or sit out on the porch swing and stargaze. This rustic cottage also offers delightful weekends in early season June and late September when the beaches are quieter and more laid back. This wonderful home on pond offers a bounty of activities.


Go kayaking, canoeing, fishing, and swimming. Visit numerous nearby sites such as the charming fishing village of Ogunquit with its spectacular ocean walk (Marginal Way), outlet shopping in Kittery, or arcades, taffy pull and Wild Kingdom Amusement Park at Short Sands Beach. Take a picnic to the ocean only ten minutes away and enjoy the view of the Nubble Lighthouse. Nearby are 22 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails.Great Fall get away.Foilage.

The kids can play on the clean, white-sand beaches, in the amusement arcades, or at the beautiful new playground.

This wonderful vacation cottage has something for everyone. It's a fabulous family vacation place which has sleeping quarters for up to a maximum of 4 adults and 3 children or less adults and more children.

Great, cozy place!

We spent a couple of nights at this lovely place on the lake - the beds were comfortable, it was quiet and private, and we *loved* the hot tub! Even in winter, there was so much to see and do nearby in York, Ogunquit, etc. Beautiful location!

Just what we needed!

My family, including my parents, stayed here for 6 days and loved every minute of it! My father has just completed a round of chemotherapy so we were looking for a place to rest, relax, and enjoy some family time and this was perfect. We were able to play bocce and cornhole, but also just sit in the sunroom to admire the beautiful pond views! The hot tub was a huge hit for my husband, who used it every night! So happy with our stay!!

Serene and scenic

We had a guys weekend here, and it was just perfect. The lake was serene and glasslike for good chunks of our stay. The house was just the right size for us not feel cramped, but also not feel like there was wasted space. Kathy was awesome and very responsive. I plan to return sometime with the family sometime, will definitely stay here again.

Mother Daughter Weekend

We loved our stay at Kathy’s and are looking at dates to return. It was the perfect spot for a casual fall getaway with our daughters. The view is gorgeous and the accommodations comfortable. Kathy was a very responsive host and communicated well and during the trip. Only thing I would suggest to future guests is to bring gallons of water as the kitchen tap came out brown occasionally.

Cottage on the pond

We had a wonderful two night stay in this cozy cottage on the pond. Great location with an amazing water view and a great fire pit and outdoor area you're super close to both York and ogunquit for fun! The cottage sleeps 5 comfortably and has all the basics you need. Be aware it IS a cottage and more rustic but the location and outdoor space makes it worth the stay, not too mention the hot tub!!! Take a soak and look up at the stars!

Picturesque view!!

Enjoyed a long fall weekend on the pond. The house was toasty warm with a nice gas fireplace in the living room and a amazing fire pit outside. The kitchen is well stocked to meet our cooking needs and steaming fresh lobsters. The hosts promptly answered our questions. The hot tub was crystal clean and a yummy 120 degrees. Overall a great stay.

best of both worlds

My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights, ot was nice to be on the pond, yet only minutes from the ocean. Could use a little updating, however, it had everything we needed. Only other thing was the Hot Tub, nice and clean but, could have been a bit warmer. All in all we were satisfied with our stay. Matt and Kathy thank you for sharing your home.

Ants

The property was nice, but was filled with ants! The were all over the place including on beds etc. Also, the hot tub was filthy and needed cleaning. The dock and furniture around the fire was rickety. I would not stay in this cabin again. However, the location was lovely!

Perfect for a weekend away!

My friends and I were looking for a cozy spot, close to lots of take-out options, with a fireplace and a jacuzzi. This home was perfect!! Our little group slept well, loved the easy access to York Village, Kittery, and Ogunquit, and truly just relaxed. Kathy was great to communicate with and we hope to make this an annual experience. Our only qualm - the road and driveway are dirt... and we stayed during a VERY rainy weekend, so we were nervous getting our cars up and out! HIGHLY recommend this home for a relaxing spot!! Thank you for hosting us!

Description did not match the house/ chlorine burns

The listing sed the sleeping arrangements where completely different then they actually where. Along with the fact that there was soo much chlorine in the hot tub it burned our skin and bleached bathing suit ( found 11 chlorine tablets in a small hot tub should be 3 MAX)

Clean and comfy with great views and location

The location is fantastic! We loved waking up to the gorgeous lake views, star gazing in the hot tub, s’mores by the fire, and a great day of autumn surfing on Long Sands Beach. The cabin was spacious for our family of 4 with lots of activities for our teens to do both on and off property. The kitchen was well appointed and the living spaces were clean and inviting.

Cozy home in a great location

We stayed for a long weekend. We were looking for something on a "lake", but close to the ocean. This was the perfect spot. The town is adorable with great restaurants and shops nearby. The inside of the house was exactly as described. We had 4 adults and 2 kids. There was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and relax. The yard definitely needs some clean up. We didn't do much outside beyond using the fire pit because it was not so great. Overall it was a really good stay beyond that.

Good place to rest.

This property is old and not fancy, but is in a lovely setting and was great for our trip. There was plenty of room for the 5 adults in my group. We all slept comfortably. The shower was good with plenty of hot water for us all. We happily used the large hot tub every morning. We were gone most of the day so did not fully utilize the pond but It was lovely to sit by with a glass of wine at the end of the day.

Why they chose this property

This cottage has the best of both worlds. Lake swimming and many activities for the kids. Like boating campfire ,bocce,, basket ball. Volley ball, Jacuzzi, And the other world is 5 min to the Ocean. Children have some much to do they don't want to leave.

What makes this property unique

My favorite thing is the Sunset over the lake. And watching the hummingbirds.
