The cottage was perfectly situated on Taylor Pond for sitting by the water. With no public access to the water, it was very quiet & serene. The minimal boat activity was absolutely perfect in July for just enjoying a quiet & relaxing retreat. My teen kids enjoyed hiking Mt Apatite nearby and found tons of quartz and mica. No mosquitos was a nice surprise!

My kids and I had a great stay at this cozy cabin on Taylor Pond. It was clean and well stocked and had everything we could need. Mike, the owner, lives very close by and was very helpful with our arrival and departure and answering questions. There's a great screened porch to enjoy in the mornings and evenings overlooking the water, and we were able to access the dock and swim in the pond to cool off. Highly recommend!

Wonderful weekend escape. Very comfortable and right on the lakefront. Quiet and serene but very convenient to downtown Lewiston/Auburn.

We had a fantastic time at this lake house. It was 5 adult guys just trying to get away, play some disc golf, and have somewhere cool to chill after. And this place was perfect! Favorite spot was the screened in room overlooking the pond, but the fire pit right on the water was great too! Mike was AWESOME to work with. We will be back summer 2024

This is a great well cared for camp with a large screened porch just feet from the lake. Hosts are great. Location is peaceful, yet just a few miles to urban Lewiston-Auburn for all your shopping needs.

The hosts answered the few questions we had and were very friendly. The cottage has a very well-equipped kitchen with small appliances, food prep utensils, dinnerware, etc. The cottage is steps from the water and the waterfront of the cottage faces the morning sunrise. We hope to return!

We loved the house perfect for a getaway. The pond was clean and quiet. Mike was easy to access right next door when we had questions. Perfect place for a vacation if your wanting to relax. Town had way more options of stores then we expected(nice surprise) We did have trouble with the boat ramp with it only being open for Friday and sat. But mike and the neighbors helped out!!
Thanks mike and family for an amazing long weekend :)

Our family of 4 loved our week stay! We really loved being right on the water, fishing off the dock, net fishing along the shore, using the kayak, floats, fire pit, etc. The cottage is simple, old school, very clean w/ a great screened in porch. The only thing lacking from our usual rentals was laundry and basic kitchen items (salt, pepper,sugar...) , but we have family across the lake so it wasn't an issue. Internet was spotty but the owners who lived right next door were always available to help. The property and location were perfect for us!

Our visit to this place on Taylor Pond met all of our expectations. And being from Maine my expectations were that the our vacation on the pond would be a great way to relax and listen to Loon as they make their calls at night. Great place to stay, and Mike and family were gracious hosts.

So much more than we expected!
We loved the cottage! It was so clean and had everything we needed. Mike was an excellent host ensuring we enjoyed our stay. My boys loved swimming and fishing on Taylor Pond. It really was so much more than we expected, I just could not get enough of the view from the screen porch.

Beautiful, clean family camp on a very quiet and tranquil pond - a hidden gem!
We had a fantastic stay. The house was immaculate and had a wonderful old fashion feel. We loved the rockers on the screened porch. There was seating both inside and out for plenty more than our family of 5. The house has every kitchen amenity one would need and if you didn't know about the location you'd likely not know it was there. We loved how peaceful the lake was. Just enough water skiing to watch but not so much that all you do is hear boat motors. Mike and his sisters were in neighboring houses and they allowed us access to all their fun boats and floats. We enjoyed a campfire, paddling and sunrise coffee over the lake.
