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.
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 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 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 !
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.
Excellent stay - feels like visiting family (in the best way possible!)
Donny and Faye were lovely - their property was very comfortable, and they clearly go above and beyond to make it a good experience. We loved staying on the water, and they even took us out on their boat for a tour of the surrounding lakes. We really enjoyed our time there (especially our kids), and we would definitely go back!
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.
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.
We absolutely loved our stay at the Norcross cottage - it was such a charming, clean, and spacious place, surrounded by so much beautiful nature. Don was a wonderful host and we really enjoyed our time with him, as well. We would love to return someday and we highly recommend staying here! Thank you for everything, Don & Faye!
This cute cottage had everything we needed for a family vacation. Faye and Don are great hosts and the lovely faces of Maine. Good location by a lake and easy access to Baxter state park. Many thanks!
interesting cottage built in 1905; hosts are very welcoming; lake is really pretty, but the mosquitos were epic when we were there; bed linens could use updating; we really enjoyed our stay
Quaint farmhouse right on a lake near Mt. Katahdin
We've stayed in a few lakeside cottages, but this one was different: a Victorian farmhouse full of antiques! Very comfortable, right on a lake, and about as close as you can get to Mt. Katahdin and the rest of Baxter State Park. The hosts Don and Faye are above and beyond.
