About this cottage rental

Highland Cottage
Nestled Between the Atlantic Ocean and White Mountains. Still, WiFi Internet Service is available at Highland Cottage.

Picturesquely situated in the highlands overlooking the Saco and Ossipee River Valleys, this cottage offers a phenomenal mountain view with rolling hills and open fields. The winding country road, bordered by long stretches of stonewalls, provides a partial panorama of the foothills of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. A three-minute stroll brings one to an impressive overlook.

Highland Cottage is located one-half mile off the Pequawket Trail (Route 113), a Maine Scenic Byway. It is a two-story structure with lovely woodwork and is attractively decorated; the artistically-designed stairway is accentuated by morning sunlight. There are two bedrooms: one with a full-size bed, the other with a set of twin beds. The living room has a futon that opens to a full-size bed. Thus the cottage sleeps six. An eat-in kitchen with special country charm seats six diners. There is one bathroom with a shower as well as a washer and dryer laundry center.

The kitchen has a microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, and full-size cook stove as well as a dishwasher. Pots, pans, dinnerware, and utensils are provided.

In addition…
• A screened-in porch with table and chairs
• A TV and DVD player (no cable)
• A CD player
• Small library collection, including general interest books, cookbooks
• Games and puzzles
• Portable electric fireplace and electric heat

This cottage is very clean, comfortable and well equipped. I stayed there for 4 nights while attending a music camp in the area. It was a great place to unwind after a busy day; quiet and peaceful, and I slept great. I want to come back next year for a longer stay.

This rental transported us to visits to grandparents’s…easy to make yourself at home, practical, curios stashed in corners, a little smelly. The checkin process was straightforward. Gerry stopped by to work on something in the garage during our stay.

Cottage was nestled in the woods overlooking the mountains. The kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed. The host was very responsive to our needs when the gas grill would not light.

We rented Highland Cottage from June through October 2022. It is a lovely spot, nestled on the edge of a forest and on property that houses an amazing 1794 Farmhouse. The cottage is tucked away on a winding country road with views to the foothills of the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Deer seen often and in the fall.....lots of wild turkeys....a peaceful retreat. Located next door to the Lake Country of Maine, the area has abundant access to water for swimming, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, etc. Beautiful hiking trails are abundant. There is quick and easy access to main roads and highways that lead to all the treasures of a New England visit. Bernadette and Gerry are the Best Hosts ever! Attentive and super quick communicators, they are truly gracious hosts. They attend to any need(s) immediately, yet are so respectful of guests' privacy needs. My husband and I really can't give enough accolades to them! Wonderful people....you won't meet better! The place was super clean, neat and welcoming. Enjoy a special visit here! Thank you, Bernadette and Gerry!
