Just like I remember
We had an amazing stay at the cabin. I went to "Camp Brookline" every summer for 20+ years from birth and it was amazing to be back. My kids would spend all day at the beach and town is so close, we'll be back every year.

A slice of heaven
It exceeded my expectations and was everything I dreamt it would be. A very cozy and charming cabin, equipped with just about everything a person may need. We did not want for a thing other than sunshine. (Lots of rain.😊) The owners of this cabin have put a lot of thought into the contents of the home. The outdoor shower is a must. The cabin was immaculate and neat as a pin. I tried to leave it that way….. Honestly, when you walk in the front door, first impression is “ahhhh’l it just brings a smile to your face. I hope to go back sometime soon. MG

Nice little cottage close to downtown
Great size for the two of us, there was also a second bedroom, so it could be a good house for a small family as well. Loved the three season porch, even if the October mornings on it were brisk! We really value walkability in a rental property and were thrilled this was just a 10 minute walk to downtown Bridgton.

Perfect, classic Maine cottage in an ideal location
This is a perfect cottage on a pristine lake in a friendly neighborhood with its own playground for the kiddos. Plenty of waterfront options to enjoy swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding or just sitting lakeside enjoying the afternoon sun. Cottage is just as described - kitchen is well-equipped, entire cottage super clean, cute artwork and comfortable furniture and beds. Nice seating options outside of cottage with nice landscaping touches of seasonal flowers, there's an outdoor shower and gas grill is clean and works perfectly. And so close to Bridgton center with a mandatory visit to Renys (a Maine must-do), Saturdays farmers market with so much to choose from, casual eateries and coffee shops and a bonus - a seafood/lobster market that's a 2 min drive away that will steam your lobsters for you. Definitely a 5+ property and owner was extremely responsive. Such a great getaway and experience and is a do-again!! Kudos to the owners for their attention to detail - thank you!

Quaint Cottage Community
Our quaint cottage within Bridgton's Brookline Housekeeping Cottages community was exactly as advertised. It is perfectly appointed with attractive furnishings, everything we could have needed, right down to the frosted glasses in the refrigerator! There are comfortable beds in the two generous bedrooms and an efficient kitchen area,. The living area contains a comfortable couch and rocking chairs and opens onto a spacious screened porch with couch, comfortable chairs for reading and an attractive eating area. On the grounds are a grill, picnic table and more comfortable sitting areas. The cottage is located within walking distance of Bridgton, a typical Maine town which includes gift shops, art galleries, a Reny's Department Store, grocery stores, restaurants and even a Bavarian Chocolate Shop! The cottage community, which has a beach on Highland Lake, is located within a ten minute drive of Pleasant Mountain and Moose Lake and is within a mile of the Bridgton Golf Course.
