Cottage vacation rentals in Merrymeeting Lake

A gem of an Airbnb! The hosts truly thought of everything and this was the perfect place to stay with two young kids; in fact, my son loved the bunkbed and toys so much he refused to go to bed every night! From the tonies box and kids toys, to all the beach and baby gear, there wasn’t one thing they lacked. The place was clean and organized and felt so cozy. I highly highly recommend this place, especially for families! The hosts were so friendly and accommodating as well.

A great spot tucked away!! House was cute and as shown in the pictures, is right on the water and has some great views! It rained the majority of the time we were there so didn’t get to take advantage of all the outdoor amenities, but would have if better weather! Host was very friendly, communicative and responsive!

We enjoyed our stay. Nice and clean. Smelled fresh. The cottage was as described and even had more homey accents than expected - coffee maker, coffee pods, coffee milk, condiments in the fridge, toaster, snacks, nice dishes and cookware, great TV, comfy sofa and even an electronic fireplace in the main bedroom. Many thoughtful details throughout. Soap, shampoo and conditioner in the shower. Extra towels. A hot tub ready to enjoy and kayaks at the house to use at the nearby lake. I really wish it wasn’t a downpour weekend so we could’ve used the hot tub and kayaks. Quiet neighborhood. Parking for 1-2 cars. Great notebook chock full of helpful information of the area. Nice touch! We would stay here again and can see this being a great location for summer with the lake and water availability. The owners were kind and very responsive to any and all feedback.

Lovely one night stay at this sweet little cottage! Grounds are well-kept, enjoyed morning coffee on the front porch. AC kept it nice and cool. Convenient location close to a great donut shop- Congdon’s and our favorite ice scream spot- Scoop Deck. Chloe is a gracious host and even granted us a late check-out!

Wow! What a beautiful place to stay. We visited all the surrounding cities we came to Maine for. The beds were so comfy! The towels smelled so fresh. The washer and dryer were so nice to have- so thoughtful that detergent was provided! We appreciated all the cute details the cottage had to offer. My girls loved the ride on the golf cart! 10/10 stay. Thank you so much for sharing your lovely place with us!

The house was clean and well maintained. The view was gorgeous, too bad Mother Nature didn’t cooperate. It was cold and rainy. Used the fire pit nightly and it was nice. Linens were clean, towels were soft and fluffy and smelled freshly laundered. Kitchen was spotless and well stocked with pot/pans and dishes. Having a dishwasher was nice too. Two grocery stores (Hannaford and Market Basket) were close by and plenty of restaurants too. We came with the intention of doing nothing and just changing scenery for the weekend. This place was perfect.

Great cottage with a perfect location. Not too close to the ocean but close enough. Grocery stores and other shops within a mile radius. 10-20 miles gets you to many other small Maine locations.

Everything inside was so thoughtfully designed. Anything we needed was carefully labeled and placed where you might think it would be. The cottage was cozy, and very close to the main road leading to either Ogunquit or Wells. The welcome guide was detailed and informative. Plus we really appreciated our welcome message letting us know that it’s possible to see the northern lights during the night time.

We had such a wonderful stay at this beautiful, quiet, waterfront cottage that had everything we needed (and more!) for our week-long stay. Jacky's place was exactly as described and she was very responsive and helpful throughout. Hope to come again!

Great location and cozy home with great ambiance, decor, and all of the necessities. The spiral staircase and upstairs rooms felt much smaller in person but no major issues! If you're bringing dog(s) that may have noise sensitivity like ours sometimes do - note that the walls to nextdoor Airbnb are quite thin. The dogs also had difficulty on the stairs - one learned to go up and down by training and the other one had to be carried up and down 😂 Hosts were great!

Another great stay at this place! It’s been consistently a great spot for us. Perfect for a walk to beach or into town. We love it and will definitely be back.

When we arrived at this small, lovely marina where the property is located, my first thought was: magical!!!!! Inside, a little oasis, modern and well appointed. A huge, comfy sofa, large TV, great bed and thoughtful amenities. We did not need the AC, but I tried it and it got cool, quickly. Outdoors: paddleboards, kayaks and a grill overlooking the lake and the homes along the lake. Stunning. It’s a less than a minute walk to the restrooms, which are also modern and pristine, and part of the experience. I genuinely loved our stay here! It’s a very special, private place in the best of ways. Highly recommend,

The property is tranquil and private but near convenient stores and food options. The cottage is so cute and quaint and was perfect for our stay with our dog. The art and small touches in the cottage are very lovely. This location is fantastic for accessing the beaches and harbors of York area.

Hidden creek cottage was a perfect little getaway spot for our family!

Cheryl's home is cosy and quiet, and the photos don't quite do the place justice. It's an amazing spot since you can walk into town and access the trails to Pondicherry Park, and it's back off the road enough to feel private and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay, and especially the cupcakes that were there upon our arrival.

Amazing views!!!!!! Great communication. Welcoming to dogs and extremely peaceful. Happy we want

We had the best weekend at this place! It’s a beautiful home (in our opinion the cutest on the entire lake) in an even more beautiful area. It was a bit overcast and rained one day but the lake was surprisingly warm and we still went swimming even on the cooler day. We also used the kayaks and SUP the host provided to spend more time on the water. There were lots of board games provided that we played often. The kitchen was well-stocked with spices, pans, and even small appliances, and the toiletries provided were nice. The best part of this place, however, is the French doors that open onto the balcony. We kept them open, with the screen closed to keep bugs out, almost the entire time we were in the house. Despite being a guest house on the same property as Janath and Beth’s home, the carriage house felt very private. This has been one of our most favorite places we’ve stayed. A beautiful home that is quiet and with lake views you can’t beat. I’d recommend to anyone! You’ll love it.

We absolutely loved our stay at Jane & Dan’s house. It was perfect. We felt so peaceful and relaxed during our time there. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting outside on the porch swing while the sun was setting watching the mountains, horses and sunset. Can’t wait to come back!

My husband, 15 year old son and I stayed at Jim & Janet’s cottage #5 last week. I could not recommend it more! We had the best time. The check In/check out process was smooth. Jim & Janet are wonderful, friendly hosts who are super communicative. The location of the cottage was amazing being directly on the lake. The grounds are absolutely beautiful. The access to the paddle boards and kayaks was great and made for a lot of fun days. The cottage’s close proximity to Alton Bay is also a plus because it’s such a cute and easy to navigate area with a few restaurants and great scenery. The hosts’ local recommendations were spot on. We couldn’t have asked for more with our stay. The cottage was the cleanest rental we’ve been in so far. We got so much in that we wanted to and also relaxed with the beautiful scenery. It is such a hidden gem! Thank you Janet and Jim! We hope to return again!

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and we felt right at home. It's beautifully furnished, very clean and the surroundings are so peaceful. Loved that we were walking distance from the beach but with the nice screened in porch we didn't even feel the need to leave! David and his wife are very friendly, communicative and gave thorough instructions and recommendations for the local spots. We will definitely return the next time we want another peaceful weekend in Maine!

Spent a peaceful fall weekend with my family at this beautiful lakefront cottage. We spent most of our time out on the dock or on the screened-in porch. Fully stocked kitchen and comfortable rooms made us feel at home. Rebecca was a fantastic host - easy to communicate with, organized and very welcoming. Thanks for a five star stay!

We love to stay here. Etoile is always very helpful and the place is clean. It is centrally located to where we want to be.

Would absolutely recommend. We were looking for a place to stay with our baby while visiting friends nearby and this place was as described and worked great for us. It’s like luxury camping and you get to enjoy the beautiful lake views!

We were looking for a quiet place near the water to relax and unwind. Marina's place was perfect! We enjoyed kayaking, and great views of the lake whether reading on the deck or playing boardgames in the dining room on a rainy day. We'd definitely stay here again.
