The cottage was lovely and Teresa was very helpful.

We had an outstanding experience! The camp was perfect for us our son our daughter in law and our 2 grandchildren ages 1.5 and 5. Teresa was an fantastic host and we had no problems at all. Will definitely be back.

The cottage is absolutely perfect and feels like a fairytale. Gorgeous views of the lake, and the house has such a warm fun feeling when you aren’t out on the water. So much to do nearby, but also no need to ever leave as the kitchen has everything.. Teresa the owner could not have been more kind and welcoming, and it truly felt like a home and not just a rental. We will be back for many years to come

The perfect setting for family with older kids. We loved the house and spent our days enjoying kayaking and paddle boarding. Portland Paddle delivery and pick up was a cinch. What a spoil with great towels and linens (not to mention a garbage and recycling pick up!). Fresh herbs to cook with right out the back door. We will be back again and I already can’t wait!

We stayed for a week with our two sons 19 and 21. The cottage has great lake access and beautiful afternoon/evening sun and sunsets. The swimming is nice and there is a bench on the dock which is nice for reading. We paddled the kayaks around the lake. The wifi connection is really strong. The kitchen is modern with everything needed. We made several trips to Portland which is about 20-25 min drive. Teresa answered all questions promptly and is a very responsive host.

My husband, daughter and I enjoyed a week on Lake Highland at this cottage. The house was very clean and modern my decorated; we loved the plentiful windows and views of the lake! We took full advantage of the water front location - kayaking daily and swimming of the dock when warm enough. We loved the sunsets at night and spent most nights grilling and eating at the outside table. When we wanted to go explore, both Portland and Freeport are only short drives away. This was a great getaway in a quiet lake community. Would definitely come back!

When we arrived the cottage was so welcoming and clean. It had everything to make our trip wonderful including comfortable beds, nice linens, well stocked kitchen. The pictures are a true representation of the house and the view of the lake was even better than expected! A two person kayak is provided and was a wonderful way to check out the lake and the wild life. Plenty of places to sit, look at the lake and read a good book. Took time to make a trip into Portland for some sight seeing and a wonderful meal. This little city that sits on Casco Bay has so much to enjoy for all ages. Took a day trip around Casco Bay on a ferry to check out all the islands. So much fun for the whole family. A stop at Holy Donut in the Old Port is a must ! We will be back to Highland Lake for sure next summer! Thank you for one of the best vacations ever!

Great place with plenty of space and various places to catch sun or shade at any time of the day. Well stocked kitchen and really a treat to have all the linens and beach towels available. The loons and bird music was fantastic.I would definitely be careful with small kids here. There are a lot of steps leading down to the water.

I definitely recommend this property. This is a very cute, comfortable, clean cottage, well appointed and decorated (as accurately depicted in the photos). It has a nice view of the lake and sunsets. Bedrooms are cozy, but well laid out. I think it important for potential renters to know that bedrooms are on second floor and nearest bathroom is on first floor. So nighttime toilet usage does require a trek down rather steep stairs. Cottage is on a little-used road, so walks in the neighborhood were safe and easy. There are nearby parks / playgrounds. Excursions into Falmouth and Portland took about 20-25 minutes. Owner was very friendly, however she was late in getting check-in information to me, causing some anxiety on my part... She did stay in contact during our visit to ensure we had everything we needed. All-in-all, a very good experience.

Fayth Cottage is a gem - the perfect marriage of close to attractions of Portland/Casco Bay and Mid-Coast Maine, but also a refuge on a lake that you never need leave unless you want to. The modern kitchen is well outfitted for those who like to cook, with a Hannaford’s w/in a 15” drive. The grounds have multiple seating areas to enjoy the view, depending on time of day - the dock is situated for sunsets. The grill was most appreciated. There’s a two-person kayak (complete with PFDs, beach towels, etc) to explore Highland Lake. The finished basement allows a bit more privacy for teenagers or two family visitors. Teresa is a very accommodating host who answered our many questions with an attitude of generosity, aimed at helping us make the most of our vacation - not to mention the gifts of fresh veggies and homemade jam! We SO enjoyed our time in Maine, and will be back!

We loved staying on Highland Lake! I couldn't keep my two sons out of the lake, and the house was such a relaxing place to stay. Houses are really close together on this part of the lake but we barely noticed anyone else...felt peaceful all week long. The living areas are cozy and comfortable, the kitchen had everything we needed, and there were so many places to curl up and relax, both inside and out. We would love to come back someday!

I stayed at this property for a small family reunion this August and we had a blast! I was getting together with my siblings and my cousins and we loved the house and the lake. The house is beautiful, there is a great view from the living room right down to the water. The best part of all though was the lake, there is a long staircase down to the water and there is a deck to sit on and a dock as well. We spent all day outside swimming and using the kayak that was there and we also brought our paddleboards! It was fun to lounge with the fam this summer. There was also a space to have a campfire, which is always my favorite part of vacation. Teresa was great to rent from! She was so responsive and she even left a gift basket and a nice note for us when we arrived.

When we arrived at the cottage we were so happy with what we walked into! The place was so clean, the view was incredible and the space was perfect for our family of 5. Teresa was wonderful to work with, she told us all about the area, suggested things of interest and gave us recommendations of where to go. The location of this place is great if you want to fit any day trips in while on vacation. The lake was truly beautiful and serene. We swam, kayaked, paddle boarded and my son and husband went fishing one afternoon! The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a great vacation. We also had s'mores at night around the camp fire. We will definitely be back next summer! One of our best family vacations ever!

Hello, Thank you so much for the wonderful experience of staying in your sweet cottage by the lake. Normally my husband John and I head the other direction to South Jersey for a getaway. So delighted that we changed it up this time around. Your property is beautiful. Even the rain did not dampen our experience. Your cozy, serene cottage was the perfect place to pass the time. Your recommendations in Portland were spot on. We heeded your advice and found each and every place just as you described. We especially loved J's Oyster Bar and the new restaurant called Scales just one pier over. You are a too notch host and we will not hesitate to pass the word on to other travelers. Can't wait to see you again next year, but next time we will spending a week. Cheers, Jenni PS if I had to make one suggestion it would. be to hang a hammock, not that there aren't plenty of places to chill out already. But I can picture myself reading a great book while rocking to the sound of the water hitting your dock and nodding off for a perfect afternoon nap. THANKS!

This house is so lovely and situated in such a perfect place. We spent the days by the water enjoying the air and water and sun. I highly recommend! Property is beautifully maintained and was clean and comfortable. Love the decorations!

This lovely lakeside cottage was the perfect property for our girls getaway/college reunion. It was very easy falling into a stress-free routine here. Morning coffee on the dock followed by hiking, we found amazing trails less than two miles away. Then back to the cottage for lunch overlooking the lake and afternoons spent reconnecting, reading, lounging and napping in cozy little spots throughout the cottage. The home was fresh, clean and well appointed..loved the bedding! We are looking forward to returning when the weather is a bit warmer to take advantage of the two person kayak. I highly recommend this rental for your next relaxing getaway.

This place could not be more perfect for a week on the lake with the family. The house is meticulously maintained and came stocked with all of the amenities. We spent countless hours on the deck in the adirondack chairs reading and enjoying the quiet. When we got restless, we drove into Portland, but were always happy to get back to the lake, the loons, and the view. I've already booked a week for next year.

Thank you for sharing your home. My daughter, who was home from Spain for a wedding, thought we'd have more time together if we all stayed someplace together. Your place was perfect. The house was clean and tastefully decorated. New linens, a well stocked kitchen, nice size bathroom and incredible views of the lake all helped to make our stay very relaxing. Portland was tempting, however, we decided to dash to the market and cook in, enjoying cocktails by the lake watching the sun set. Overall, a very peaceful getaway. We'll be back.

I can not think of a better place to vacation and unwind than This cute Maine cottage. We all felt right at home. Great layout for cooking and enjoying family while overlooking a gorgeous lake. Bathroom was a good size and new. Bedrooms were nice and new linens were nice touch. Home was immaculate and tastefully decorated. Property was what I expected from pictures and it was easy communication with homeowner. She helped with questions regarding nearby Portland and restaurants. Everything was nice and new. Definitely looking forward to returning to this special spot.

The downstairs “family room” trundle bed did not stay locked in place and slammed down when someone went to lie down on it and the spring shot off. The number of spiders and cobwebs was mind-boggling. A professional exterminator should be called. The floor was filthy turning our feet black. There was black mold/mildew on the slider door track and the “family room” smelled like a basement, not a family room. Heading up the stairs to the bedrooms, I caught my foot on the top step and the flooring actually pulled up on the left- a major tripping hazard as the top floor hangs over the top step. There was no warning about “step ups” (entrance, bathroom, kitchen) and uneven flooring in the house-my elderly mother who was almost 80 years old fell entering the bathroom on the ground floor and cut her arm. Ants had made a home in the dishwasher, the stove-top and microwave were dirty, some of the dishes/pots were dirty. There was no cover on the kitchen trash-can. The tub had black mold and mildew around the shower control. “Both bathrooms are recently updated and modern”- is what the description on the website said. While there may have been a few updates, but I didn’t expect to see an old tub with holes in the walls with a makeshift caulking job. The couch in the living room had so much dog hair on it when we arrived that we covered it with a comforter from one of the beds. There was a large toenail clipping on the carpet in the living room and my son went to do a load of laundry and found a pair of dirty underwear still in the washer! We were never told about the low ceilings- my brother is 6’0”- we had to hang orange tape from the lights so he wouldn’t walk into them. The neighbors are in spitting distance. We heard every inappropriate word the man next door used, and had to deal with the smoke from his cigars/cigarettes as it blew in the front windows. The renter also gets to take out the trash from the prior renters-nice!
