About this property

Awakening to the call of loons and ending your days with beautiful sunsets. Enjoy afternoon sun from our west facing cottage. The cottage on the lake on Not-A-Pine is a family treasure enjoyed by generations. Nestled in the woods at the end of the road, the cottage surrenders to relaxing water views on the east shore of the lake. Set back from the edge of the lake by approximately 60 feet, with 150 feet of your own private shore-front, swimming can be enjoyed right in front of the cottage. There is a dock where you can "park" your boat, fish, or launch a kayak. Plus you have access to a swim float!

This is the opportunity to spend quality time hanging out with family and friends. The living room overlooks the lake where you can have a fire in the fireplace, read, relax, and play board games. The cottage sleeps six people; the master bedroom has a double bed, the second bedroom has a set of twins, and a there is a futon in the living room. There is a newly remodeled full bath. You can enjoy your meals inside or outside the cottage on the deck, with a full kitchen and gas grill to make dining enjoyable for everyone. See you at the lake :)

Quietly situated between the advantages of Augusta and the incredible coastlines of the mid-coastal region of Maine, the China Lake region keeps hustle and bustle at a calm and cool level. This is an exceptionally tranquil area of Maine with rolling hills, picturesque farms, crystal clear lakes, ponds and streams, and bustling small towns. Fishing is excellent in the China Lakes region where you can fish for landlocked salmon, small mouth bass and white perch.

A bit of folklore is the "Indian Heart Rock," or "Sacred Heart," that is carved near the base of a boulder on the shore in South China. Legend has it that an Indian carved the heart into the stone out of the tribes religious devotions so that it would last through the ages. Other outdoor fun off the lake includes hiking, biking, picnicking, white water rafting, antiquing, and sightseeing along Maine's historic, picturesque country roads.

Medicine for the soul…

Tiffany made sure every detail was attended to, checked in before the anticipated tropical storm to make sure we were alll set, and was a kind and gracious host. The cottage was so peaceful and was much more roomy than the pics appeared to show. We didn’t get to use the fire pit due to rainy weather - nor the kayaks, but we really enjoyed the fireplace at the end of the week when it was cooler. Our little chihuahua, Emmet, also enjoyed bring off leash and exploring the property - including the water. He liked the coziness of the fireplace as well! A grocery store and discount store were but a couple miles away, so very handy. We didn’t get to try the local ice cream shop nearby but will next time. A laundromat was convenient, being only 2 or 3 miles away, so there wasn’t so much to wash when going home. Can’t wait to go back to unplug and enjoy the solitude, the lake, and the lions…

Peaceful

Although it rained all the time we were there, the cottage was quaint and homey and enjoyable. There were games on the shelf to amuse us and we were able to take a swim in the beautiful lake. When I had questions, the owners got right back to me. Only drawback was that the water was not drinkable in the house so we had to bring in water to cook and drink. Shower pressure was awesome. Hope to return next year and hopefully have sunny weather so we can enjoy time outside.

Not bad

Property and cottage nice, sofa's smell musty and no blinds or curtains on slider which makes it very uncomfortable to sit in living room at night or too sleep on. Tv the size of a computer screen. Over all, everything else was good for the price. Kitchen had all you need.

Not A Pine Getaway

Cottage was accurately described on website. Rustic lakefront property with beautiful sunsets from the deck. Fully supplied kitchen with full size modern oven. Bathroom very clean, and had nice touches with a pedestal sink and circular shower enclosure. Best water pressure in 17 years of traveling up to Maine to fish. Three guys caught 12-15 bass each morning some were in the 5-6 lb range. Host very responsive to our text messages. Can't wait to come back.
