The Little Grey Duck Cottage on Cobbossee Lake

The “Little Grey Duck” is a classic Maine camp that sits on waters edge and embraces every bit of what Lake Cobbossee has to offer. Enjoy your screened in front porch, which is a guest favorite from the slow mornings with coffee, to the evenings settling down while grilling or even cracking open a Maine Lobster. The front porch leads way to a large deck with a grill and stairs that walk you down to your private dock. It’s there you’ll find a great spot to place your boat during your stay, a prime place to fish, deep water frontage for swimming, or simply a place to just sit with your favorite book and enjoy the sounds of the water. The camp is westerly facing, meaning you not only get to witness incredible daily sunsets, but also more time to enjoy the water with daylight! Inside you’ll have WiFi, a TV, AC or monitor heater, full kitchen, coffee maker, oven/stovetop, bathroom with shower, a full size bed, two twin beds, and also a pull out futon if needed. Lake Cobbossee has so much to offer from boating to ice fishing. It’s an 11 mile long lake with various coves and islands to explore, it also has one of New England’s only active fresh water lighthouses on the north end called “Lady’s Delight”. Theres lots of wildlife from loons to eagles and osprey and it is highly likely you’ll witness some, if not all during your stay! The cottage is located close to many amenities in town where there’s plenty of very reputable restaurants, bars, shops, and ice cream shops! It’s also close to the local grocery store and gas stations. The “Little Grey Duck” certainly embraces that classic “cottage” feel, as it is rustic, but rustic with charm! It’s provided many incredible memories over the past few generations, and we can’t wait to share the opportunity with you so that you can make some of your own.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a patio, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Other standard amenities include a sofa bed and a coffee maker.

Great value!

Our second time staying here for a few days of fishing. Best for 2-3 people only as it's small but has all you need for a basic getaway. Property owner is accommodating, neighbors are friendly. Great central location on the lake and fantastic sunsets!!!

This was a perfect slice of heaven. The peaceful sound of nature along side the beauty of the outdoors.Just far enough away to feel like you are hours away from a store but in reality it’s really only 10 minutes away. We will definitely be returning.

The location is perfect, right on the lake with a private dock. The screened in porch gets you bug free evenings to listen to the sound of the lake after sunset. This is a lake camp. Tidy and comfortable. Rustic yet functional.

Loons loons loons

So quiet but pretty close to shops. The camp has all needed amenities. Sunsets were unreal right from the deck. We swam right off the dock. Kayaks were a bonus. The screened porch is perfect for curling up with a book and listening to the loons. The high speed internet made it so I could work from there which I had to during the week. Ideal camp.

Rustic but cozy

My brother and I enjoyed the location and warmth of the cabin, with a very large gas heater. We were there in mid-Sept, so 'off-season', but very quiet location for that week. Owners were friendly and not busy-bodies, but were there when we needed anything. Biggest downside was the small size, with only the upstairs serving as a dorm-style bedroom. No closet space, and no dresser to put clothes in. Over-all we enjoyed our stay.

The location was tops. There is much to do. Swim off the dock, explore the islands, photograph elusive loons, or kayak to the lighthouse.

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in

Definitely not clean, no smoke detector, CO detector, and fire extinguisher was empty.

We arrived and there was mice poop on the floor, top of refrigerator, dust balls every where, spiders & webs. House had a smoke smell when you walked in. You definitely could not cook in this home as there was mice poop in all cabinets. We purchased a sealed container for our snacks, and mouse traps to catch the mouse so we didn’t have to see it. I clorox wiped down every counter and lysoled the house as well. No pets are allowed but there was pet hair everywhere, especially on the bed sheets, which we slept on top of the sheets and blanket just under the comforter. The floor upstairs and stairs were very dangerous. We were very thankful we had family up there to spend our time out of the house.
