Cottage holiday rentals in Knickerbocker Lakes

We had a great two nights here and enjoyed the hot soak and the sauna. It was near many amenities and also felt very removed. Matt’s was attentive without being intrusive, making sure our stay was perfect and the escape we hoped it would be.

Adorable cottage, newly renovated. Perfect for two with an open space loft for one more. Kitchen is well stocked right down to the coffee. A good location if visiting Fort Knox, Mt. Barrie and not too far from Bar Harbor if that is on your list. Great stay, highly recommend. Beautiful view and private.

great stay for a relaxing weekend trip. perfect house for chilling but still drivable to Acadia. well stocked on the essentials, linens, and stunning views! host very responsive as well.

Great clean air bnb. Accurately as described.. looks good in photos but even better in-person. Bed was comfortable. Would rent their properties again.

Perfect for what we needed for a weekend getaway. So peaceful and a lot of interesting wildlife. We saw so many different types of birds! The hot tub is spacious and easy to use.

We’ve stayed in a lot of Airbnbs across the country and I’m not exaggerating when I say that Lydia’s place was one of the cleanest and most well-maintained homes that we’ve been in. The property and scenery are breathtaking. The numbers of birds and chipmunks that entertained us while we sat on the back deck was surprising. We ate all of our meals with the exception of lunches at the cabin and had everything we needed to prep and cook our food. This trip was all about relaxing and Lydia’s home was everything we needed.

We had a wonderful stay here and highly recommend it! The location is great, as it’s close to plenty of restaurants and stores. We were even able to walk to get breakfast and dinner. The space itself was much larger than we expected and very clean. The kitchen had everything we needed and we even had snacks, waters, and coffee left for us! The highlight for my 2 year old was the pirate ship playground. We also loved having access to picnic tables. We got takeout and enjoyed eating outdoors. We did not use the outside grill but that is a great addition and we would have used if we stayed longer. The host was very helpful and accommodating. They offered early check in and check out and gave very clear instructions on how to get in. I would not hesitate to return in the future!

We had a magical stay, better than we had imagined. The house and surroundings are beautiful, private, and peaceful. We climbed trees, soaked, showered outdoors to cricket song, and walked barefoot in the well tended garden and forest paths. What an absolute healing sanctuary and delight! Thank you so much!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Would highly recommend and will definitely be back!!!

Beautiful spot for us and our dog. Very close to everything and easily walkable. The trail up the road was a huge plus. Only small thing we ran into was a couple of folks in the neighborhood had dogs off their leashes and they were a bit aggressive running up to us walking our leashed dog. Nothing happened luckily. Not the owners fault. Highly recommend and would totally come back! Thanks David and Ginny!

We had a fantastic time at this cute and cozy cottage! It’s within 15 minutes of basically anything in the Portland area and the cottage itself is so charming and inviting. We only wish we had planned to stay here longer!

micheles place was incredibly well stocked with helpful and cute amenities and convenience items! the view and accessibility to the beach is incredible. Michele was very welcoming and we appreciated all of the recommendations she provided. the guest house is quite small but met my and my husband's needs for a quick getaway. thank you for your hospitality!

Beatiful cabin on the water, thoughtfully decorated. I loved the layout, plenty of seating areas and lovely decor. There is only one small bathroom which may be an issue with more than 2 or 3 guests, but worked out perfectly for us. We saw deer twice when driving down the trail to the house which was exciting! Loved using the firepit outside. The only bummer was that the dock wasn’t in the water yet. I still managed to use the kayak but would not advise attempting without the dock lol. Wonderful host, David was very responsive and had a nice bottle of wine waiting for us on our arrival. Would 100% come back

Popham beach stay was great! We enjoyed the easy access to the beach and long walks twice a day. The house itself is very roomy with lots of space for everyone. Good heating and comfortable furniture. The tapwater is very rusty so be prepared but drinking water is provided. The floors are unfinished wood so you’ll need shoes to avoid splinters but overall, it’s a very comfortable place in a great location!

We had such a great time staying at Emily's awesome retreat. It was our first mini-vacation with our dog and we were looking for some peaceful, wide open space to let her roam free. We absolutely got that with this home and thoroughly enjoyed the town, as well. Emily was super responsive whenever we did have a question and provided us with a great list of places to check out around town. Would absolutely stay again. Thanks!

We had an amazing stay at Jason’s place despite a (mostly) rainy Memorial Day weekend! We still found plenty to do including inside the Airbnb, outside at the pond, and locally at all of the great restaurants/breweries/nature around. We also made it out to Acadia two of our days. I will say, the trip took longer than advertised (about an hour to get to the edge of the park), but was a pleasant enough ride. We also had our two dogs staying with us and we all felt right at home! Jason was a very responsive and helpful host as well - you can’t go wrong with this peaceful retreat on the pond!

I stayed at Liz and Alex’s stunning place at the beginning of September. This was either my 3rd or 4th time and I love being there. The quiet and the utter peacefulness of being literally on the banks of the estuarial river is amazing. Although I was only able to be there for 2 nights this time, I was recharged and ready to go back home when I left. On other visits I’ve taken advantage of being near the delightful town of Damariscotta, Pemaquid Point Lighthouse, Hidden Valley Nature Preserve, Muscongus Bay Lobster dock, the Audubon preserve in Bremen, and so many others. On this visit I stayed put, letting the inward and outward flow of the river soothe me while I read and wrote. On this visit I also had a nice long chat with Liz, a remarkably talented woman. See her book and ask about her films when you go.

Wonderful experience, great location and Dave communicated very quickly. Gave us several suggestions of things to do and places to eat. We’ll definitely be back and rent from Dave again

We felt truly comfortable and at home in the Knotty Pine Cottage. We spent 19 days there! My husband was working again in the area and the job site was 5 minutes away. On his days off we took advantage of hiking the numerous Boothbay Region Land Trust properties. We highly recommend Porter Preserve, Oven's Mouth Preserve and Oak Point Farm. We loved walking around beautiful Ocean Point and an afternoon on Popham Beach. We also spent an afternoon reading our books at Barrett's Park. The house is well stocked with everything you'll need to prepare meals and there is a Hannaford Grocery store 10 minutes away. We recommend The Thistle Inn in Boothbay Harbor if you enjoy crabcakes that are made from scratch. We're looking forward to our next trip back to Southport and hope the cottage will be available. Many many thanks to our responsive hosts! They made us feel welcome and comfortable in their home!!

This little cottage was old but full of charm. The bed was comfortable and the kitchen well stocked. It was just across the cove from a very good seafood restaurant and a short scenic drive into Boothbay Harbor. We had a lovely time and would rent from Sea Maine again! Our host was very friendly and had great recommendations for local restaurants and activities!

We had a great time staying in Julie's place for our visit to Maine. It was nice and quiet but still very close to downtown. Access to kayaks and the water was excellent. The house itself was clean and there was a great selection of movies to watch at night. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

Very quiet and cozy area to spend our holiday weekend! Plenty of space for the family to hang out and play games, and a kitchen we were able to cook in almost every meal! It was a very comfortable and clean home that we were grateful to get to enjoy on vacation. Not every day we Michiganders can find a place as beautiful as here at home to spend time away, but this cottage and the aesthetic in southwest Maine in general is a place that certainly measures up!

This was our third time staying at this property, and we always look forward to our next stay once the current one ends. I don’t want to duplicate past reviews, but the listing is 100% accurate - dramatic views and sounds of the sea - and we come to rest and recharge. We also bring our dachshunds who can’t get enough sniffs when they are here. Tips: - May weather is unpredictable but it will definitely be cooler here than inland. Come prepared. We bring robes, heated throws, and our own small heater (they also provide multiple heaters but the large fireplace goes a long way to get the cold out of your bones). - Don’t overpack. Bring your non-negotiables, but you can get groceries in town. Do laundry during your stay to cut down on packing. - Do check out Waterstruck Wellness in Newcastle - not too far. Nice Nordic circuit (sauna, warm pool, cold plunge) amid a forest environment. - Don’t hesitate to reach out to your host with any issues. They’re great and responsive. Enjoy!

A perfect home for a quiet stay while exploring coastal Maine. We enjoyed the nearby walking trails, fire pit and games and puzzles. The home was just as described.
