Lakeside cottage with boats, grill, firepit, pet and Kid Friendly

Blueberry Cove Cottage, located on Tripp Lake in Southern Maine (Poland, ME), a few hours north of Boston, is the perfect place to get away from everything. Everything you need is right there: a canoe, and paddleboat (with great fishing!); a dock and raft; a grill and a firepit; a huge picnic table, lawn furniture, and a hammock; board games, books and video games for rainy (or sunny!) days; and a cozy rustic interior that can be your home away from home for your vacation. comfortable lawn furniture (including a very relaxing hammock) are all available for your enjoyment. You'll fall in love with the beauty and tranquility of the lake and the evening calls of the loons. Great for swimming & boating.

You can also enjoy the two golf courses, Oxford Casino and Oxford Plains Speedway are minutes away. One hour from the Maine Wildlife Park, L.L.Bean and other outlets, Bowdoin College, and Portland. Other easy day trips include Casco Bay, Old Orchard Beach, Bethel, Augusta or North Conway and Mount Washington, NH. Enjoy the real Maine!

Please note that the cottage is rustic and so has no heat and no air conditioning (though there are many fans). Also, we welcome nonsmokers and pets on a case by case basis. Please verify in your initial booking request that you are nonsmokers and tell us what kind and especially what breed of pet you have. Thank you very much for including this information so we can pre-approve your booking request quickly! :)

Engagement Surpise!!
My wife and I enjoyed our stay. The location was convenient to family we were visiting close by and enabled us to have a quiet and scenic place to retreat to when needed. Everything was in place when we arrived and the owners went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable.

Wonderful Little Cabin!
This was a beautiful, cute little home to spend a long weekend in. The inside was a perfect rustic setting with many books & dvds to choose from on rainy days. The outside was beautiful, the water was warm and the hammock, grill, & eating area was just what we needed. The hosts were absolutely amazing to work with and Carol was very kind and had many suggestions for things to do. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for a cabin getaway on a pond!

Perfect secluded getaway!
This cabin was the perfect, fully stocked with all appliances we could need. We had an 11 year old with us who loved the canoe and the hammock, and the fire pit and smoors! We spent some time hiking and took a trip to the wildlife park. We mostly ate in the cabin, using the kitchen and the grill outside. It was a little chilly with no heating, which we were expecting but the beds were equipped with electric blankets and loads of spare blankets to it wasn't an issue. Carol was a great host and answer all questions and checked din on us as well while we were there. We will hopefully be back in the summer when its a little warmer so we can swim in the lake!

Glorious lake experience!
Our family loved being in and on the lake. Great marsh areas to explore in the canoe. Our 12 year old granddaughter loved taking the paddle boat out to the raft. Great wildlife: loons frequently, an amazing water snake which we saw while fishing, and saw evidence of and heard a beaver. Plus the host provided the fixings for s’mores!

Perfect summer get away
What a wonderful little spot. The lake is so beautiful and the shallow beach is perfect for kids. It felt very private and all the amenities like boats and grill and large picnic table made out outdoor living easy and fun. We brought dogs and they were easily contained on the property. The house is comfy and clean. We watched movies and played cards and games--all of which were provided. The owner was very attentive though we didn't need anything while we were there. There is a grocery 5 minutes down the road. This was the perfect summer get away. Having had such a good time it's easier to face going back to school and work now that fall is coming. Definately recommend this lovely little slice of heaven.
