Houten huisjes in Messalonskee Lake

We had a great time, nice tucked away cabin, hot tub was fantastic, and the space is super cute. Would recommend and would definitely stay again.

Lori’s is exactly what we need while visiting family over a holiday. She is very gracious to host us over Thanksgiving as the last occupants of the year. Even during a snow storm, her place is cosy and beautiful. This is our second year coming, and we love it every time. We would recommend it for those looking for a charming getaway from busy life. Thanks Lori!

We had such a wonderful girls weekend at Audrey & Seb's home. The house was stunning. The view of the woods & pond was so gorgeous. It was such a peaceful & relaxing place. I bet this place in the fall is absolutely beautiful since there are so many tress. The house was immaculate. We felt so comfortable since it was so cozy & clean. The kitchen was amazing - a great place for us all to cook & eat together. The espresso machine & grinder was such a nice touch. Really elevated our weekend experience. You don't see that often in an Airbnb. The hot tub was so fun and very clean. Great to sit out in the hot tub and soak in the surrounding nature. Audrey & Seb were super responsive & helpful. I would love to try another one of their properties!!

We had a great late October stay for our honeymoon. The cabin was definitely warm enough for the 30 degree temperatures. Hot tub was amazing, that was clean as well. The outdoor kitchen was very convenient, even when it rains the kitchen is still covered. We had an amazing stay, will be visiting again!

Just returned from the most fantastic 2 weeks exploring the US which included a weeks stay at Kiwi Lodge. Where to start? This was exactly as described and the perfect base for exploring Maine. The property was spotless and has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. 3 beautiful bedrooms, 2 great sized bathrooms, wonderful living area and kitchen and fantastic games room. Hot tub was brilliant. The location on the lake is just perfect, we had the lake to ourselves and took the canoe out. Nearest town of Farmington has all the shops and cafes you’d need. The communication from Kay was great from the day we booked, and recommendations we took her up on were all absolutely spot on. Thank you Kay and thank you Kiwi Lodge for a holiday to remember!

Such a beautiful and quaint cabin with an incredible Mountain View! Clean and up to temp hot tub, lovely fire pit and comfortable Adirondacks to relax and enjoy the tranquility. Cabin was warm and well decorated, comfortable bed with soft linens, and just the right touches in the kitchen like fresh coffee and creamers in the fridge. I was a little wary of a “outhouse“ but it was warm and super clean with plenty of hot water and plenty of towels! We will absolutely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay and Lisa was an amazing host! Easy check-in, clean place, and very cozy after a long day on the slopes!

Even though we had a gray and rainy weekend, our stay at Misty‘s cozy cottage No. 3 was fantastic. The rain provided a perfect backdrop for a lazy, relaxing cozy weekend, enjoying the fire pit between showers and soaking in the hot tub while unwinding. The cottage had everything you need for a minimalistic little getaway. Misty was great. Super polite, friendly and communicative. The perfect little getaway, we’ll be making the trip back in the future for sure. 😊

Our family of six (12, 10, 8, and 6 y/o) couldn't have asked for a better weekend! The views from the cabin were phenomenal. After a stunning sunset on Thursday night, we enjoyed a camp fire and then stayed up late counting satellites and shooting stars. Our kids had never seen the Milky Way before and the low ambient light provided them with their first look. Friday was gem mining in town, a visit to a local apple orchard, and then apple cobbler back at the cabin. Yum! Kids enjoyed building forts in the woods, playing football out front, and our daily hikes. Cabin was very clean and all appliances worked without issues. Definitely recommend!

I loved this place! Enjoying coffee and meals outside on the deck overlooking the lake and beautiful surroundings of nature. I felt safe there and was a charming neighborhood. I loved that there were boats to use and a dock to watch sunset an autumn harvest moon over lake! Jess was the perfect host and made sure everything was great when I arrived. She was very helpful when I had any questions and I am looking so forward to going back there again! Thank you Jess for sharing this wonderful place!!!

Charming little cottage on the lake! Had a lot of fun, easy to get to town and the lake was serene and peaceful. Great place to stay!

Kim's place felt like camping out, in a great way. We love the little three stringed dulcimer and cooking hot dogs on the campfire. The beds were comfortable! Thank you, Kim!

Endroit idéal pour se sentir en nature. Le petit chalet est chaleureux, conviviale et propre. À 40 minutes de Sugarloaf, parfait pour un séjour de ski. Nous allons y retourner!

We came up skiing with our 11 year old kids and felt right at home. The cabin is very cozy and warm, all wood and tastefully decorated. It's the perfect get-away for skiing in the winter, or anything nature in the summer. The boys loved sleeping in the loft, extra bonus with kids old enough to climb up the ladder. Communication with Emily was easy and instant. We enjoyed every bit of our trip to Maine!

Due to unforeseen circumstances we were unable to stay. Craig’s was diligent, kind, and helpful. I believe that when we are in not so ideal circumstances our true character surfaces and more often then not our ability to do what it right is in question. Craig rose to the occasion. Hopefully our paths will cross in the future!

Lovely location, and cozy little cabin, close to Damariscotta. My boyfriend and I took a weekend away and I told him I just wanted to be in the middle of the woods for a night. Enjoyed the hammock chairs and home cooked breakfast on the porch, despite the rain. Only regret was not meeting Sherri and/or Joel since I opted for self-check-in. Hope to return!

Pamela was extremely helpful and accommodating. The place was cute, cozy and clean. Can’t wait to go back next year.

Such an amazing private, quiet place with breathtaking views! If your one with nature then this is the place to go, from its off the grid living ( no power and no running water) then this is a palace! Wood stove heating that keep us toasty during the Valentines weekend storm of 2025! Will definitely be returning in the future!!

Lovely spot, especially the screen porch.

If you are looking for a perfect Waldenesque retreat for a few days THIS IS IT. Perfect for those who appreciate the beautiful quiet of life on a marine estuary, who are looking to camp-glamp without intrusion, yet also not ready for a truly remote location (you can get to the charming town of Bath in 15 minutes!). I sincerely hope to return.

We had a very restful three days at Rod’s lovely cabin. This is a fantastic place to stay for those seeking to experience the midcoast area for what it is (without all the tourist traps and hustle and bustle that you’ll find in Bar Harbor area). Don’t sleep on this gem!

We love Katharine’s cabin! This is our second year and we plan to make it a tradition. It’s just a great location, and the cabin makes you feel right at home. It’s easy to disconnect and just take Boothsbay in! Thank you for having us!

A beautiful spot that I could easily have stayed at for much longer! We enjoyed the large, comfy couch on a rainy day as well as the location and proximity to Belfast and Camden. The beds were cozy and the place was spotless.

Such a comfortable, picturesque, and well-stocked space with friendly hosts who were completely respectful of our privacy while also being very responsive.
