Liz and Rick's place for us is a little slice of heaven. It is a cabin where you can make memories of a lifetime and enjoy the gentle bliss that is the lake country in Maine .
The cabin was super clean when we got there. The rooms are a nice size. The sounds of the trees and of nature from the screened in porch is super relaxing and its a great place to watch your kids as they play in the playground below. The beds are very comfortable. Rick and Liz equipped the cabin with everything from plasticware to all the kitchen utensils, and also books for kids and adults, games for a rainy day, tons of extra blankets and towels and even beach towels.
In addition we had a couple of minor issues and the second we reached out to Liz and Rick, they popped over to help us out and fixed it. It's also about the small details for them. Over the years, they've added so many amazing little touches. This time we really loved the fairy lights they put on the porch, which made eating dinners at night into an enchanting experience.
Amazing Cabin.
Amazing Hosts.
Amazing Service.
Amazing experience.
We can't wait to come back!

We stayed a few days and the town and surroundings were very nice. The lake was clean and not too busy. The cottage was in a great location and had everything you needed.

As a kid, I summered just a few doors down from the Brookline Cottages, and am pleased to report the property offers a wondrous vibe decades in the making. The screen doors, the cribbage board coffee table, the woodwork -- everything said "chill here." Big ups to Liz, my responsive host. The beach was steps away, with kayaks and other amenities at your fingertips. Plus, the "neighbors" -- mostly owners from what I could tell --were quite welcoming, to the point where one generous gent took me on a pontoon boat ride, during which we traded stories of summers past. As I think of it, the lake isn't the only thing that's fluid here. So is time itself.

We had an amazing stay at the cabin. I went to "Camp Brookline" every summer for 20+ years from birth and it was amazing to be back. My kids would spend all day at the beach and town is so close, we'll be back every year.

It exceeded my expectations and was everything I dreamt it would be.
A very cozy and charming cabin, equipped with just about everything a person may need. We did not want for a thing other than sunshine. (Lots of rain.😊)
The owners of this cabin have put a lot of thought into the contents of the home. The outdoor shower is a must. The cabin was immaculate and neat as a pin. I tried to leave it that way…..
Honestly, when you walk in the front door, first impression is “ahhhh’l it just brings a smile to your face. I hope to go back sometime soon. MG

Great size for the two of us, there was also a second bedroom, so it could be a good house for a small family as well. Loved the three season porch, even if the October mornings on it were brisk! We really value walkability in a rental property and were thrilled this was just a 10 minute walk to downtown Bridgton.

This is a perfect cottage on a pristine lake in a friendly neighborhood with its own playground for the kiddos. Plenty of waterfront options to enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or just sitting lakeside enjoying the afternoon sun. Cottage is just as described - kitchen is well-equipped, entire cottage super clean, cute artwork and comfortable furniture and beds. Nice seating options outside of cottage with nice landscaping touches of seasonal flowers, there's an outdoor shower and gas grill is clean and works perfectly. And so close to Bridgton center with a mandatory visit to Renys (a Maine must-do), Saturdays farmers market with so much to choose from, casual eateries and coffee shops and a bonus - a seafood/lobster market that's a 2 min drive away that will steam your lobsters for you. Definitely a 5+ property and owner was extremely responsive. Such a great getaway and experience and is a do-again!! Kudos to the owners for their attention to detail - thank you!

Our quaint cottage within Bridgton's Brookline Housekeeping Cottages community was exactly as advertised. It is perfectly appointed with attractive furnishings, everything we could have needed, right down to the frosted glasses in the refrigerator! There are comfortable beds in the two generous bedrooms and an efficient kitchen area,. The living area contains a comfortable couch and rocking chairs and opens onto a spacious screened porch with couch, comfortable chairs for reading and an attractive eating area. On the grounds are a grill, picnic table and more comfortable sitting areas.
The cottage is located within walking distance of Bridgton, a typical Maine town which includes gift shops, art galleries, a Reny's Department Store, grocery stores, restaurants and even a Bavarian Chocolate Shop!
The cottage community, which has a beach on Highland Lake, is located within a ten minute drive of Pleasant Mountain and Moose Lake and is within a mile of the Bridgton Golf Course.

The cottage was welcoming from the time you walked in. Neighbors were friendly and Rick checked in to make sure we were all set. We enjoyed being out on the lake and sitting on the porch in the evenings. The downtown was a great place for walking and getting the yummy lattes at Beth’s cafe.

We had a lovely few days at this perfect little cabin. We enjoyed the lake, the kayaks, the cute little down town, and especially the huge screen in porch at night.

We loved our week at Liz and Rick’s place. The cabin was thoughtfully furnished and our kids loved the playground. Our days of morning swims and afternoon paddles and evening views of beautiful sunsets went by way too fast. We can’t wait to return.

The cottage was cozy, comfortable and in a beautiful area. It had everything needed for meals (outdoor grill), patio, the screened in porch was lovely for cooling nights. The available kayaks were a great addition as we didn't have to travel with our own. Overall, we loved it and hope to return next year!

Loved being able to take my kids on vacation to the same place that both dad and myself stayed as kids. Loved that the house still had similar features that I remember but with updated accommodations that made for a comfortable stay! Hope to get back next summer!

47th Anniversary Getaway
Liz was great to deal with! The cottage is sweet and comfy and just a very short walk to the water. In spite of a little autumn chill, I found it peaceful to sit by the water at night to look at the stars (no light pollution!) Took one of the kayaks out one evening while hubs fished a bit. We found this location convenient for day trips like the White Mountains, hiking, Fryeburg Fair, and loved the lovely town of Bridgton. The bridge in Pondicherry Park is a mathematical marvel! We even found a little movie theater! Beth's Cafe and Morning Glory Cafe were great finds! Enjoyed a round of golf up the road, too! Beautiful! Met a lot of friendly people! Thanks Liz!!

Lovely Maine Cottage
Everything was just as presented in the overview of the property. The cottage was sparkling clean and wonderfully
appointed with everything we needed. The paddleboard and kayaks were the added plus for us. Enjoyed every minute of our ten day stay.

Adorable cottage
Really adorable cottage for our family of 4. Fantastic screened porch and A/C was very much needed for a few days of our stay. LOVED the outdoor shower!! No view of the lake from the cottage but a close beautiful sandy beach and close access to the lake (we paddled every day). Beach excellent for swimming , water was warm and very enjoyable. Would be good even for small children closely supervised. Only slight drawback was kitchen needing a few more utensils- had to purchase-but small stove was fine for the cooking we did (outdoor grill as well). Small close playground also a plus. We very much enjoyed our week staying at the cottage.

Charming cottage
The owners are amazing! When we first walked in the cottage wash spic and span!! Very impressive. We have a 2 year old and considering it’s not a “ baby proof” I can say it was not cluttered , tidy , so for my husband and I were able to relax more. The Community is so welcoming. Hopefully we get to go back ! One thing is both screen doors slam shut - because of a new spring. Other than that it was perfect

Paradise in Maine!
Honestly just a breathtaking adventure with my girlfriend! The neighbors were all so welcoming Liz and Rick are amazing host who check in and help out when needed! The location is absolutely perfect 2 second walk down to the water! Paddle boarding was so much fun and the hiking trails are all in about a 10 mile radius! I never knew it could be so much fun for so cheap! Looking forward to returning!!

Lovely cottage with easy access to lake and town. Loved the enclosed porch and slept well on comfortable bed. Easy walk to town stores and restaurants. Owners easy to work with too. I wish the cottage had washer/dryer and ...heat!

Great Maine Cottage
Our group (my husband +brother and his girlfriend) had a great stay at this property for a week in early September. It was so clean and such a great location. Could walk to the cute town of Bridgton and had quick and easy access to the beautiful lake. The screened in porch was so nice to sit on and had a cozy Maine lake vibe. We also had a fire one night at the fire pit right next to the house. We loved it!

Perfect cozy resting spot
The property owner was so helpful and prompt. The house was extremely clean and comfortable. I felt like I was at my own personal al camp because of how cozy everything was. The queen size bed was extremely comfortable. My favorite part was the screened in porch. My mom ran into downtown Bridgton every morning and loved the little town center.

A Lovely Week

Great Little Getaway!
This is really a special place and we enjoyed every minute! The cottage is in a terrific location and the neighbors were friendly, welcoming and so generous. The beach, kayaks and paddle board were so fun, and even though the weather was a bit chilly at the start of our week we found lots to do in the area and around.

Perfect, classic, Maine lake house
A great example of a rustic, classic, lake house. The house was cute, comfortable, and well equipped. Every window had good screens and the screened in deck made for a comfortable stay. The beach is lovely and the neighbors were friendly.

Stay here only if...
...you like sunsets over the lake and Mount Washington; friendly owners and neighbors; kayaking to an island for picnics; swimming in a cool, clear lake; listening to loons while eating dinner on a charming screen porch; waking up early to stand up paddle board; chipmunks, blueberries and campfires; hiking and getting ice cream in town; the list goes on!
We stayed at Liz and Rick's cottage for two weeks and it was a wonderful spot for us to unwind. Liz and Rick were great hosts and very responsive. The cottage is basic but had everything we needed for our stay and is very charming and comfortable. Our kids were over the moon for the chipmunks, the blueberries, the lake and beach and little playground. Thank you, Liz and Rick!

Weekend Getaway
Liz and Rick's cottage was everything I dreamed for our weekend getaway. My girls and I wanted the rustic cottage feel but with a little updated charm. The cottage and the property was just what we were looking for. It was spotless, cozy, and was supplied with everything we needed. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddlebords and had an evening fire. Not to mention the welcoming neighbors It felt like home and we cannot wait to return be next year.
