10 Steps And You're In Sebasticook Lake. This Is Where You Go To Unplug

Picture this; A rural dirt road leads you through the woods, past cottages dotting the edge of Sebasticook Lake. After a half mile you'll see on your left a line of boulders that set the scene for your entry to Quilt Maker Cottage. This sweet little cottage sits nestled in the trees. A horseshoe drive goes around the perimeter of the level, almost acre, lawn. Perfect for playing Corn-hole, Croquet, Badminton, Horseshoes, or just run with the kids or dog. Yes I did say dog. This cottage is only dog friendly. Sorry, no kitties, reptiles, hedgehogs, or other fancy critters allowed. Contract with owner has stipulations. This cottage is 600 square feet in size, and has been completely remodeled. Open floor plan with full size appliances in the kitchen. The pantry can hold just about anything you want to put in there. Head up the 'pure cottage' stairs to the master bedroom. A wall of windows with white sheer curtains that waft in the breeze is waiting at the top. From the Queen size bed the first thing you see in the morning and last thing you see at night is beautiful Sebasticook Lake, while you listen to the water lapping the shore and the Loons sing their songs. Why does this cottage have 'Quilt Maker' in the title? Because you will see there are handmade quilts everywhere for your warmth and to take you back in time to Grandma's house. There's even a sewing machine if you're in the mood to work on a project.:) Back downstairs is a full bathroom with tub/shower, stack washer/dryer, and a cool porthole window that opens. The living room has a queen sofa sleeper, TV, Bluray DVD player and large selection of movies. Bring your own games and hook them up to the TV. There are board games also. No WIFI as of yet but cellular service is great. No cable service but 6 -7 channels are crystal clear with one being a National channel.
Large L shaped, sleeping porch, can sleep 2 more on full size bed. Also on the porch you will find a dining table for 4, 2 more sofas and 1 chair.
Now the best part! 10 steps and you're in the lake! Boat Dock, 2 kayaks, 2 paddle boards, paddle boat, and a campfire pit(wood provided) for those evenings to tell scary stories. There are two areas for outdoor dining. There is a large platform with dining table, a picnic table and a gas grill for those fun cookouts. There is a hammock, and the sunsets are remarkable!
Newport is centrally located in the state of Maine and is within 90 minute drive to Bar Harbor, 30 minutes to Bangor Airport, two hours to Portland airport and is about 1 mile to Anglers Seafood Restraunt. Best seafood for the seafood lover!
Sebasticook Lake is the largest lake (4,288 acres) within the confines of an individual municipality in the State of Maine. The lake provides for many recreational activities: swimming, boating, fishing, and snowmobiling. Both lake and its shores provide habitats for several wildlife species, such as sea run alewives, smelts, smallmouth bass, white perch, black crappie, and many bird species.

Vacation getaway!
We really enjoyed our vacation in Newport. The camp was lovely and our 15 year old dog acted like a pup swimming and exploring. We had a great time and the camp is close to town if you need anything. We hope to come back soon. Thank you!!

Mixed review
The lake was beautiful with clear water and a small beach area. The cabin was well appointed and comfortable. Sleeping on the screened in porch was a treat. Upstair bedroom was quite warm. Could use additional tower fan. Comfortable queen bed. The outside equipment could use some updating. 3 of the 5 water crafts had a broken part or two. Lounge chairs would be a great addition, however, overall a really nice rental cottage. Close neighbors but very friendly.

Great getaway
Wonderful peaceful property, close to Acadia. We stayed over Labor Day weekend and had a great experience! Very clean and well organized, everything provided. There is some construction going on next door, but it wasn’t particularly loud so didn’t affect us at all.

A perfect spot for a family vacation
What an amazing vacation spot! The cottage is cozy, well stocked, and located in the most peaceful setting. We enjoyed time in the water and around the fire. Loons, owls, ducks - even some migrating Canadian geese! I cannot imagine a more perfect spot for a family vacation. We have already booked for next summer! Thank you so much for making this beautiful place available to us!

nice cottage for a couple
Cute cozy cottage, clean and full of everything you may need. The swimming is great. It is perfect for a couple, but not for more then that as couch in living room is not very comfortable and there is no wall between the stairs and bedroom, so you can hear everything what's going on in the whole cottage.

Wonderful Cabin
Where do we start on this wonderful quilter's cabin?! Clean, easy access, well stocked with the necessities, great communication and such a gem on Sebasticook lake. Bed was so comfortable and the view was fantastic. Lots of info on the area too. We enjoyed it so much we're talking about booking for next year. Thanks Narda you've got a winner for the cabin and hospitality.

Fantastic property
Cottage was exactly what we were hoping for: small but updated, clean, options for sleeping arrangements, right on the water, well stocked with necessities. Everyone loved the paddle boards and kayaks (tandem!) and eating on screened porch. Setup was perfect for keeping track of kids, and they loved all the DVDs.

Great Getaway!
We had a incredible great 5 days at this cottage right on the lake! Enjoyed the kayaks and quietness! Place is fully stocked with items so you don't need to bring alot of extra stuff with you! Roxy our Yellow Lab couldnt stop jumping off the dock and swimming! The only thing we disliked was the 7.5 hour drive to get there!

Lake life relaxation
This is our 5th timing staying here, we wish we never had to leave , overlooking the amazing views of Sebasticook lake , water is very clear. Narda has this cottage stocked with everything you would ever need and then some. We have been too many cottages this is by far our favorite. Can’t wait to come back in a few months . Todd & Brenda

Lake life at its best
This is our 8th time going to this cottage We have been too many cottages through out the years. This is by far the best. Dan has everything you would need for a relaxing stay , plus many water toys. Everyday you can go out on the dock and watch the Bald eagles in the tree a few hundred ft away. We plan on coming back next year just have to pick the dates.
