We had an absolutely lovely time at this classic Maine lakefront cottage. It was clean and cozy and very much like the photos. The swimming at Deer Pond is excellent, with warm clean water and very little boat traffic on the pond. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to cook our meals, and plenty of space to relax inside on the days it rained. The neighborhood was quiet and calm, and we were able to have our dog off leash without worry and take walks down the little road. The deck and docks face east, and we did our best to take in the sunrise daily. We hardly saw any bugs. We did take advantage of a few local attractions, such as Big Daddy's North for ice cream and Xota Brewing, but mostly we didn't want to leave this cozy lakeside cottage for any reason at all. Our hosts were communicative and kind, and it would be my honor to return year after year to this perfect little house.
