Peaceful spot for eclipse viewing!

It’s got a very cozy, down-home feeling, like staying with extended family. The hosts were generous to open the property to us during their off-season. Due to snow on the ground, ice on the lake and general “mud season,” we didn’t have a chance to hike or canoe… but we really only hoped for a quiet spot to see the total solar eclipse and Norcross cottage was just that. Faye and Donny are delightful folks!

Pure Slice of Heaven

The Short version. UNREAL and you will NOT find a better host then Don and Faye. Don is a wealth of information on the area. Both will interact and much or as little as you’d like. The ONLY pit fall is no laundry on-site and the in town self-service laundry mat (apx 7-miles) isn’t real accommodating. But if I could leave a 6-Star I would!!!!! Thanks Donny (Mr. Perfect, lol) and Faye, we WILL be back.

Went up Fishing in October with my two sons and a friend. Faye and Don are awsome hosts house has everything you need Inside is full off great photos and vintage decor. There are multiple Books and maps about Maine and its history. Wifi ad satellite tv where great.plenty of towels, blankets and pillows for our stay. We caught bass pickerel and fallfish in the Lake the cove is protected from the wind so it is perfect fo kayaking. They just added a double kayak so plenty of boats. They thought of everything from fishing gear to firewood. AWSOME place close to Kathadin with everthing you need 5 stars look forward to staying again.Thank you Faye and Donny

Norcross Cottage

A wonderful Maine experience. The cottage is as rich in history as the surrounding land is in natural beauty. Don and Faye are exceptional, and I will return as soon as I can.

Beautiful Lake

This property is on a stunningly beautiful lake. Check-in was easy and we appreciated learning about the history of the house. The kitchen was well stocked and comfortable. We spent time kayaking the lake. This was a quiet and comfortable location.
