About this property

Cozy 2BR Pondside Cottage

Relax and unwind on your vacation in this serene setting in a quiet cove away from main boat traffic while listening to the serenading family of loons. A sandy beach and lake bottom with gradual downgrade is ideal for children and swimming. The spring fed lake is incredibly clear with particularly good bass fishing with little competition. This will truly be an unforgettable experience for everyone in the family.

The cottage is located on Swan Pond in Lyman, Maine. It has two bedrooms, sleeps 4, one queen bed and 2 single beds, 1 bathroom with shower, large deck 8 feet from shore front with magnificent view of the lake, boat dock and boat launch available. Heated and air conditioned with a heat pump, gas stove and microwave for indoor cooking, propane BBQ for outdoor cooking and a washer/dryer for your convenience. Please keep in mind that we don't have WI-FI, but there is OTA television with local channels.

Located in southern Maine while only 1 ½ hours from Boston, 1 ½ hours to North Conway and the New Hampshire white mountains, 45 minutes to Maine's largest city of Portland, 15 minutes from the ocean and the lovely coastal town of Kennebunkport. Only 7 miles from Biddeford with award winning restaurants, Walmart, large food markets, fast food chains, gas stations, hardware stores, etc...

Cozy cottage

It was a cute little cozy stay! The house and the proximity to the water was nice to wake up to. We heard loons almost every day. It was extremely peaceful and a nice spot in the world. The host was extremely responsive and was detailed. It was a really nice stay!

Peaceful get-a-way

Loved the cabin/cottage and location. I must say, the place was better in person than the online pictures lol. When we arrived it was bigger than we thought, very roomy. The deck is wonderful and I spent every morning out there having my coffee and listening to the birds and the loon that was nearby. Nicole was nice to deal with and answered any questions we had. It was a pleasure to rent from her.
