We had a wonderful weekend stay at Cosmoâs Cottage. Julia and Tony went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything needed to enjoy our stay. The location on the lake is perfect and accommodations were even better than expected. We will definitely be coming back!
Julia made this easy breezy for my family. We had everything we needed and more. The process was so easy start to finish. The house was so comfortable, clean and what a beautiful lake. Thank you!
We had a great week at this rental. Julia was so kind and responsive. Cottage was clean and came with towels and sheets. We were able to dock our boat no problem. There are kayaks and paddleboards for use. We paddled right across the lake and went to the Village Tie up for some great breakfast sandwiches. My family and I had a great time.
Very clean and welcoming cottage. All the small touches were much appreciated.
Beautiful location.
Enjoyed using the kayaks & paddle boards on the lake. Explored the town and local brewery.
Decent proximity to Pinkham Notch for a planned hike to summit.
Would definitely rebook. đ
We thoroughly enjoyed our one-week stay. The cottage was spic and span when we arrived (and we hope not too much worse for wear when we left! ) We could dock our boat right down the hill. Our only disappointment was that Julia was abroad on her own vacation so we didn't cross paths.
Beautiful views and breeze sitting on the dock. Lake has fish (caught a large mouth bass) and lovely loons. Owner is super nice and helpful. She has thought of many great amenities -- 2 kayaks plus toiletries, paper towels, toilet paper, even shampoo, sugar and various salt/seasonings. Great location -- Bridgton is a lovely town, and we kayaked to Harrison several times for ice cream. The one drawback is that there are quite a few homes in close proximity.
The location was perfect. The home was very well maintained. The fishing was excellent!!
The property owner was available if needed and was easy to reach.
We would stay at this property again.
Great experience!
We loved it so much last year we came back for a second stay. This property and location are just perfect. Julia, the owner and host, is so warm and welcoming and genuinely excited to share her beautiful property.
This is a terrific spot to get away from it all and enjoy some peace and quiet, with still plenty to do close by and on property. I cannot recommend this place enough!
Our family had a great time on Long Lake and staying at Cosmos Cottage. Julia was an amazing resource with her knowledge of area. We rented a pontoon boat at Harrison Marina which made the experience one to remember
We had a great time at cosmos cottage. From the moment we arrived - everything was so clean, well organized , cozy. Julia had thought of every little detail.
Enjoy your time at the dock. Take walks, swim, use kayaks. Such warm place, filled with fresh air and the love of the owner.
Looking forward to coming back
Just what we were looking for! We wanted somewhere close to the mountain for skiing, but also where we could ice skate and ice fish. This couldn't have been more perfect. Julia was so kind and accommodating and genuinely wanted us to enjoy our stay. The property was clean and perfectly supplied. We'll be booking again.
Our family had a wonderful week at Julia's Cosmo's Cottage.
The location and cottage are perfect, and Long Lake is beautiful.
Julia is an amazing and very thoughtful host. She knows exactly what a family needs to enjoy a lake front cottage vacation and provides it all and more.
It was great having her right next door. We chatted with her at least once a day, and it seemed like she was an old friend who we had known for years.
We spent the entire week on the water swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, and tubing. The huge smiles on our kids faces when they got to go tubing for the first time was priceless.
When our week was over, our kids did not want to leave and told us they want to come back to Julia's cottage every year.
It really was the best family vacation ever. We got to relax and recharge while spending lots of quality time together as a family making memories that will last a lifetime.
We will definitely be back.
My husband and I stayed here with our 2 young adult sons. We absolutely loved everything about this property. Loved taking our little boat across the lake for lunch. Lots of hiking trails in the area to explore. Julia, the owner, is so sweet and helpful. Plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The lake views were just amazing.
We will definitely be back!
This was the most exceptionally maintained rental weâve ever had. A wonderful cottage in excellent condition, spotlessly clean. Our host had thought out every need for a stay and provided for it.
The property is excellent with a nice yard on the lakeshore, sandy area for kids to swim, large accessible dock and a great fire pit. The host living right next door is a major plus - she is very welcoming and helpful throughout the stay, but still manages to make the rental very private.
The cottage itself is well fitted out and very comfortable. Our family of four also made use of the living area futon as a third bedroom and it worked great. Both nearby towns offer fun for rainy days and the lake is beautiful.
A wonderful place for a week away!
This little cottage had everything we needed including the sâmores kit, which was such a nice touch. The inside was super clean and comfortable. Long Lake is wonderful with beautiful clear water. My son enjoyed fishing right from the dock. Julia is a great hostess, right there if you need anything but not intrusive at all. Thank you for such a memorable vacation.
Judy is an amazing host. The house is super clean and had everything- linens, extra towels, first aid kit (which we used when my son got a cut), sâmores kit for the fire pit, the laundry room (kids got wet every chance they got). We rented a boat at Gateway and the dock was great, and the kids just liked swimming around the dock area. Kayaking to ice cream was also so fun. We had great weather and weâre grateful for the A/C at night. Judy pointed us to Restaurants and they were great. She was there when we needed something, but we also had tons of privacy and enjoyed being outside in the yard and sitting on the lake. The yard also looks amazing with new landscaping. Great place to stay!
This is a lovely lakefront cottage ,well maintained and with all amenities. Julia is a wonderful host, very friendly and gracious to accept last minute requests from us. We absolutely loved our stay here and are looking forward to coming back.
We were looking for a weekend getaway with a few friends and Julieâs place was just perfect. We enjoyed BBQ by the fire, morning coffee on the dock, and the cottage was clean and very well stocked. We stayed in early October and the bedrooms each had ample heating.
Meticulously kept and renovated lake house at the North end of Long Lake, a short distance from the small town of Harrison. 2 bedroom and a futon. Clean, with new utilities wifi, tv, oven dishwasher and grill. Back yard leads with fire pit leads to dock and lake. 2 kayaks included. Owner lives next door and super helpful. Lake is gorgous. There is some boat traffic, but not bad. Plenty of wild live, short drive to Harrison, Bridgeton and Naples. Easy kayak trip to the icecream store in Harrison was a hit with the kids.
Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Julia's Long Lake Cottage. The cottage is compact, but well designed and equipped with many extras, including a wide selection of k-cups and a complete s'mores kit. (We really enjoyed our campfire!)The reservation and check-in process was very easy and Julia is very responsive to questions. The waterfront area is very peaceful, with adirondack chairs on the dock and grass. There are some rocks and grasses in the access area but they are easy to swim around for enjoyable swims. The cottage is conveniently located within easy walking and boating distance of Harrison and is only a few miles from Bridgton as well. Julia is a great host and we recommend staying at her cottage!
I moved to Bridgton in 2018 and quickly fell in love with Long Lake, small town living and the peace and quiet in this beautiful cove. I spent the last 8 years in Los Angeles and realized it was time to create a life that included nature, peace, and quiet. While I loved living close to the beach in Santa Monica, I was tired of spending hours fighting traffic on the 405 and the 10. I decided during a long run in the remote trails of Malibu that it was time to go. Absolutely haven't looked back - I wake up to the sounds of loons and can't believe I get to live in such a beautiful location year round.
I've always wanted to live on the water - it's been my vision ever since growing up in Grand Rapids MI and visiting spectacular Lake Michigan as a child. For the past 20 years we've held an annual family reunion on the water and it's always where I can breathe more easily and see life's grander gifts. When friends encouraged me to move to Maine, I immediately fell in love with all the lakes and ponds. The moment I walked onto the property (albeit in mid-January with a frozen lake and snow-covered lawn) I knew it was meant to be. A home I get to live in year round with 2 Corgis and a guest cottage next door I get to share with my family, friends and renters.
This property is on a quiet road in a cove on Long Lake - a couple of blocks from a boat launch. It's directly across from the village of Harrison from which you'll hear the church bells ringing. It's quiet on this side of the lake because most traffic is on the opposite side heading to restaurants or getting gas. I'm discovering new reasons to love Lyons Cove Way every day!
