We absolutely LOVED it!! The cottage has so much character and charm, the AC was KEY, the porch amazing!! So easy to tie up our boat and jet skis - super close to public launch. GREAT restaurants in area. Loved being able to wake up early and get the great still water for skiing and wakeboarding. The hosts of Good Cheer were absolutely AMAZING, HELPFUL, FRIENDLY, GENEROUS, and super fast responders!! I would HIGHLY recommend this cottage! GREAT FAMILY VACATION!! (We were lucky to have GORGEOUS summer weather!!)

We had a wonderful stay. Property, amenities, location were fantastic. There was nothing more that we could have possibly asked for and then some. We loved the house, the location and we spent so much time on the porch enjoying the views and relaxing. Can't wait to return!

Our family of 5 had a wonderful time at the Good Cheer cabin! It was quiet, the property was very nicely maintained, and the peaceful location on the lake was just what we needed. We cooked a lot during our week long trip and the kitchen had everything we needed. Kath was truly a pleasure to communicate with and she was very responsive. We experienced a couple of minor issues with an alarm battery and water occurred and she was right on it. Highly recommend and will come again!

Lots of charm at Good Cheer! Lovely spot on the lake. We enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch, watching the chipmunks play in the beautiful backyard. Easy to cook in the well-appointed kitchen. A/C was much appreciated on the mid-90s days. Kath was always quick to respond from the moment we booked. Had a small issue with a window at the start of our stay and she had someone over to fix it immediately. Overall, we had a great week!!! Thank you!

Our family of 4 enjoyed our stay at Good Cheer. Property was exactly as posted and the neighbors were courteous and quiet. Hosts met us on arrival and we enjoyed meeting them face to face. We are so thankful we found this gem, and hope to return.

My two friends and I needed to take a break from work and the stress of what is happening in the news and aound pandemic. Good Cheer Cottage is just what the doctor ordered. Three bedrooms with wonderful mattresses, a well-stocked kitchen, a living room with a wood stove, and a fabulous roof covered porch looking over the lake where we spent much of our time. Our hosts were so attentive, easy to communicate with, and met us on arrival with a bottle of wine and some saltwater taffy, that was such a nice surprise. The new tiled shower on the first floor was a welcome addition and the large kitchen sink made preparing dinners easy. I would highly recommend staying at Good Cheer Cabin!

My husband and I absolutely loved staying at Good Cheer Cottage. The cottage has an incredible history. Our family used to vacation on Long Lake Bridgton every summer at a family owned cottage close to Good Cheer and it was fabulous to be back on the lake. The cottage is so cozy and comfortable with amazing views of the lake. We enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking the lake- very relaxing. Kathleen was amazing and very flexible with check in and out times to accommodate our schedule. Wonderful hosts who wanted to be sure we had a good time. The house has everything once could need including good air conditioning because it was hot. Lake was amazing - water very warm and clean. It was the most relaxing and wonderful vacation we have had in a long time. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you to our hosts.

Our family of five (mom, dad, and three adult children) enjoyed a relaxing week at Good Cheer. The highlight of this cottage is its lovely porch with its beautiful view of the lake - great for meals, telework, reading and relaxation. The kitchen is brand new and nicely equipped. Kath was very responsive to our needs/questions both before and during our stay.
