1 Bedroom Cottage in Augusta

Dramatically set on the side of a mountain, overlooking a sparkling clean, spring-fed 12-acre lake, our cottage is perfect for honeymooners or nature lovers-- or anyone who appreciates peace and quiet. 
 
It features a high deck facing our 200 feet of natural lake frontage with dock and canoe. In afternoon sun or under a star-blasted night sky, it’s utterly private, on 3.5 wooded acres. 
 
Please note: We rent only to (non-smoking) adults. The path down the mountainside to the lake is fairly steep, rocky and uneven-- unsafe for children. 
 
The 2005-built cottage has mahogany flooring, knotty pine paneling, and big windows with pretty views. The sunny livingroom has comfortable, new furniture and a cozy dining area next to a cast iron heat stove (ceramic log, propane fireplace). 
 
Upstairs, a romantic "loft" bedroom overlooks the livingroom and has a custom-made, queen-size platform bed with a firm, new mattress. All bedding is supplied. 
 
There's a small, quiet room at the back of the house with a futon couch/bed. 
 
The big bathroom features a washer/dryer, a walk-in shower and a large, custom made, pine cabinet, inset with a Mexican ceramic sink and with roomy drawers for clothes storage. Towels are supplied. Fresh water comes from a deep, private well. 
 
In the compact kitchen are new appliances including a microwave and smooth-top range. (No dishwasher besides yourself.) Good lighting with an extra light over the stove. Quality cookware, knives, dishes, glassware-- fully equipped except for your groceries. 
 
There’s a new CD/radio/cassette player, a 13" TV (satellite dish connection) and DVD player with a few DVDs on hand. There’s no land-line and no internet, but good cellphone reception. The Augusta library and nearby Panera Bread offer free wireless internet. Phone book, maps and brochures are supplied. 
 
The canoe at our dock is equipped with life jackets and paddles, and the water is very clean for swimming and good for fishing-- mainly bass and pickerel.

Cozy and romantic propane heat stove provides warmth on chilly evenings. Just flip the switch to turn in on or off.
