The Norcross Cottage was perfect for us my son-in-law and I with his four children ranging in age from 7 to 15. The house was immaculate and well furnished with space for all to eat together, play games, and sleep comfortably. The outdoor setting on a lake with kayaks, canoes, and paddleboat expanded our world even further.Faye and Donny could not have been more welcoming and enriched our stay through their warmth and knowledge.Staying here enabled us to easily access Baxter Stare Park, then return happy hikers to this welcoming setting. A definite return destination!
We truly enjoyed our stay at Faye and Donnieâs quaint little cottage. The property is beautiful and serene. The area is very quiet and has a spectacular view of the lake. Itâs located about five minutes from town and 15 minutes from all the activities and restaurants at NEOC. Faye and Donnie couldnât have been better hostâs. We would definitely stay at this property again and highly recommend it to those considering staying in Millinocket.
Quiet,cute,comfy. Excellent communication with Faye and David. We loved sitting on the bedroom deck enjoying the view and listening to the birds. A nice central location for activities in and near Baxter. Thanks for a great stay.
Spent one week at this wonderful place that really felt like home. So comfortable, on a beautiful lake and close to everything northern Maine has to offer. Hosts are terrific and weâd definitely consider staying again.
Faye and Donny are amazing hosts. They are available and present and keep to themselves unless you need info or want to ask them about all things local! Wifi was amazing and the house has everything you need on a beautiful cove with ample kayaks canoe and paddleboat! Kirchen is well appointed but a tad ackward. Only potential "issue" is the hpuse is older (historic and very cool also) so dint expect a cozy couch or lounge space etc. We dont stay inside while in the area so it didnt matter and our daughter found the wicker couch perfect for reading while we packed up for the day. I think the hospitality makes up for the age of house but to each their own. Also there isnt laundry...Faye tried to change the listing but it hasnt undated so fyi.
Perfect base camp for a Katahdin hike. Faye and Donnie are fantastic and extremely knowledgeable. Told us where to spot moose and we saw 2 exactly where and when they told us. Lake is full of smallmouth as well
We enjoyed the place - it had everything we needed. The hosts, Faye and Donny, were so friendly and kind. Donny spent a lot of time giving us directions to find ice caves and places to see moose even when we got there quite late the first night! The lakeside location is peaceful and they have canoes and kayaks. If we ever travel to Maine again we will stay here again!
I was a bit surprised by the duplex style accommodations, but it turned out well. Our hosts were friendly and gave us our privacy throughout our stay. I wouldn't think twice about staying with them again.
This is the 2nd time we stayed with Donny and Faye and we love them and their place! So nice and hospitable, clean and cozy, plenty of room and amenities. Timely cleaning of snow and walkway and the house was nice and warm and welcoming. Would absolutely stay here again !
We enjoyed our stay very muchâbeautiful scenery and the cottage was delightful. Our host was so helpful with suggestions for touring, and we were very comfortable. Wish we could have stayed longer.
This property was perfect for our visit to Maine. Itâs close to the town of Millinocket and Baxter State Park.
Itâs right on the lake with access to canoes and kayaks.
The hosts were wonderful and very helpful.
It was clean and comfortable.
What a delight! Unexpected treasure on our travels. Beautiful and super quiet spot on the water. Lovely home oozing with character and charm.
Easy WiFi and cable as well as books and interesting artifacts all while simultaneously being plenty spacious for us who love to âunfurl on arrivalâ types. They had everything we needed from games, kayak & paddleboat, and more.
The star gazing/bird watching veranda gave us a beautiful view of the Milky Way. And we found the lakes/ponds to be pure magic.
Loved our sunset time near 5 Lakes Lodge, dinners at the Sawmill and friendly local folk in town
Definitely hope to return!
We traveled north to explore Baxter State Park. Norcross Cottage has shoreline property which was perfect for an early morning paddle and relaxing evening viewing with a glass of wine while being serenaded by loon calls. It was a great place to wrap up the day after strenuous hiking.
Norcross Cottage was a cozy, beautiful, comfortable home away from home that had everything we needed to make our stay wonderful. The cottage was decorated with antiques and pieces that were true to its history. The kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were comfortable. We loved kayaking on the lake, and it was incredibly generous of the hosts to allow usage of their kayaks, canoe and paddle boat! The location was a great launching point for hiking Mount Katahdin and exploring Baxter State Park.
Norcross Cottage is a delightful, comfortable, historic home. Its lakefront location is beautiful. It is quite spacious. The kitchen is fully equipped. Don and Faye are wonderful hosts. We could not have felt more welcomed.
