4 Bedroom Cottage in Rome

This four-bedroom cottage combines the vintage charm of a rustic lake house with modern updates to make your stay carefree. The property offers plenty of spaces for guests to relax and unwind, including an expansive screen porch overlooking 100 feet of private wooded shoreline on a quiet cove.
The outdoor areas are just right for enjoying beloved summer activities: swim, nap in a shaded hammock, and gather around the fire pit as you watch the sun set over the lake. A canoe, two kayaks and two stand-up paddleboards are available, and the dock is set up to accommodate a motor boat if you wish to rent from the marina.
The cottage’s great room includes a cozy living area with a smart TV, WiFi, games, and well-stocked bookshelf. Meals can be enjoyed at the indoor dining table, or at the picnic table on the screen porch. There are two modernized rooms in the cottage: a bathroom with shower, and a well-equipped kitchen with fridge, oven and microwave. We supply linens, paper goods, cookware and some basic kitchen supplies.
Upstairs, four bedrooms provide ample sleeping space with classic Maine camp style . Each bedroom has 12-foot walls that are open to the rafters above. To preserve the historic interior, the cottage is not insulated.
PLEASE NOTE there is no air conditioning in the cottage, but each bedroom has two large windows and fans to circulate the cooler evening air.
STAIRS: guests must be able to readily navigate stairs to access all parts of the property: the entrances to the cottage, the bedrooms and the waterfront all require use of stairs.
Minimum rental is 7 nights, with arrival and departures on Saturdays. Departure time is by 10:00 am, with arrival any time after 3:00 pm.

Summary: We had an amazing week at Lynn’s cottage. It was extremely clean and well-organized. Every time we wondered if there was an item, they had it! From small toiletries to beach towels to paper products, the rental was very well stocked. There was even a nice tray for my charcuterie board during our happy hour lakeside. We were amazed at all they provided in the shed. Life vests, fishing rods, paddles, etc... We rent on the lakes every summer and this was a first. I was worried about renting a cottage this old, since they tend to have that damp musty old camp smell. If you grew up in the lakes you know what I’m talking about, but this property had zero smell. It was just a hint of wood, but clean. They did a very nice job modernizing the kitchen and bathroom. We had 4 adults/4 kids sharing the bathroom and it was not an issue; it is large, so you can have an adult and kid in there at the same time- no problem! Our only tip is to bring headlamps. If you have little kids going down the stairs at night to the fire pit, it is dark. Lynn had excellent communication and was very responsive. If you want the feel of a real deal camp, but with modern amenities, this is the rental for you!
