Description of the Casco vacation cottage rental

In the Sebago Lake Region of the Western Maine Mountains, the Crooked Cottage is absolutely adorable. Waterfront on the Crooked River, from here you can paddle to either Sebago Lake or Long Lake. Better than renting hotels or accommodations in Maine which force you to leave to have fun! Have fun hiking to the very nearby Mountains of Maine and New Hampshire. I call Crooked Cottage my "Illusion of Seclusion"! It is minutes form most attractions & restaurnats...Shop at the Outlets in Freeport Maine and N Conway New Hampshire, both about 35 - 40 minutes away. Go antiquiing all over the place. See beautiful Maine and New Hampshire fall foliage. Excellent and very reasonable restaurants all very close-how close - within 2 minutes drive! Very nice wooded walking trails within 5 minutes walk. Leave your car in the driveway if you want. Get groceries on the way to the Lakes Region of Maine and enjoy the full kitchen with oven, stove, microwave and all kinds of appliances- pop corn maker, blender for those frozen umbrella drinks, toaster & waffle maker! Outdoor dining area & gas grille, Adirondack chairs & toys for the kids. perfect for families or for a romantic vacation for 2. Brand new outdoor shower with hot water Hiking, kayaking & outlet guides are all in the cottage along with area maps & directions. Walk over to your very private sandy beach & drag in your beach chair & keep your feet cool! Safe area for kids since the water is not swift & there are many shallow areas. Want to get a bit more wet-go dip in the deeper swim holes! Great river fishing or head over to Long Lake or Sebago Lake- both minutes away. Canoes & kayaks can be rented locally & even delivered. Paddle from the back door over to either Lake. There is satellite TV/dvd player/CD player & stereo, music, VCR player, games, books, etc. All rentals can come with full linen & cleaning service after you leave (for additional fee). Dogs allowed with prior permission & additional deposit. Come & have a blast. Here you have the "Illusion of Seclusion" yet are very close to everything. Or just hang in the hammocks! All here in the Sebago Lakes region & Western Mountains of Maine!

Serene Getaway, June 25, 2008

By Stephen Cory (Cape Cod, MA USA)

This was my fourth year staying at Crooked Cottage. My two Beagles and I absolutely love the tranquility and simpleness of the cottage life. My dogs and I enjoy a swim in the river or just laying around in the hammocks. There is a feeling of being in the woods alone and yet the security of civilization being only a minute away. The cottage is comfortable and cool. The fragrance of the woods, the vision of the quiet river flowing peacefully by the back yard, the smell of hamburgers on the grill or breakfast on the stove in the kitchen, coffee on the front porch in the morning, the shade, the sun, the gentle breeze - all help to make my stay so relaxing and restful. And oh, the hummingbirds are absolutely delightful! The cottage is cute and cozy with all the amenities to make it comfortable and easy and yet still have the feel of camping. The outside shower is unbeleivable! The hot tub in evening is a perfect way to end the day. Can't wait until I return again (and again, and again,...).

Absolutely ADORABLE, March 24, 2007

By A renter (Cape Cod Mass)

OK this description is apt! The owner told us the cottage is small but sleeps 5 in 2 bedrooms & that is correct. It was better than described in the listing! Complete right down to a waffle maker the place was charming. Decorated in Maine rustic style with moose & pine cones- the beds were all furnished with feather beds- which I had never slept on before!! Nice touch. All linens were pretty new & all in great shape. Quiet neighbor (there is only one) since they live in another state & we never saw them. We woudl go back again- we had 2 adults & 2 kids with us. Place is perfect for families or couples alike. You'll be happy at how you feel far away but you can get anywhere quickly- you have to take teh River Queen- Mississippi kind of paddle boat on Long Lake- about a 2 minute drive.

Owner Supplied Testimonials

We loved Crooked Cottage. Aug 2006 week . We had a 7 yr old with us who had a great time splashing around on the small private beach- it really is just a 1 minute walk for easy access- Crooked Cottage was elevated above the water which made for nice evening camp fires! The place was spotless & had everythign the owner said and then some! We found a box of outdoor toys & water toys for kids which our kid loved. There is only 1 nearby neighbor who we did not see at all & lots of space with no traffic for our child to ride the bike. We found the place small as we knew it was and charming & indeed "adorable" as the owner called it. We'd definitely go back again.
