The Wee White Cottage on Tripp Lake in Poland, Maine.

The Wee White Cottage is a small, but very comfortable and very clean lake side cottage on the west side of Tripp Lake, 125 Fernald Drive, Poland, ME. The lake is just steps outside the door! Great spot for fishing, kayaking, watching the loons, the eagles and herons. The sun rises directly across the lake, and the dock is a perfect spot for a cup of morning coffee. This is a studio arrangement with a lake view living area, a QUEEN size bed, pull out queen sofa, and a pull-out twin bed, fully equipped eat-in kitchen (no dishwasher), clean bathroom, with stand up shower. Suitable for a couple, or close friends. The cottage has an assortment of new and antique furnishings. It's very clean and very quiet. Window unit air conditioner.

2 kayaks available. No charge.

I have come to Maine I was six with my family and friend’s rustic lake cabins, this cabin more accurately in need of some attention. The information on the website, as per the owner, was incorrect for getting on the Internet. After some back-and-forth, and paperwork scattered about, I discovered the Wi-Fi box and got the network and password from that. Internet is very spotty… But common on a lake in Maine. There lightbulb in the bathroom was out, there was no replacement. The bed is quite soft. The bedding is sparse and cheap, comforter that barely covers bed and uncomfortable pillows… same towels, bring your own. There’s no place to play a game or spread out a puzzle… Living room furniture is uncomfortable. As you can see from the pictures, carpets are fraying, wiring is concernining. It lists having a fire extinguisher, but I could not find one. I would suggest letting your guest know where the fire extinguisher is and including fire blankets. It was generally “clean”, it didn’t feel cleanCommunication was a little difficult as I prefer the app, but she communicated by a phone call, text, email and on the app. Difficult to follow conversation.At checkout, I was unable to locate any of the things I was meant to use for garbage, recycling, and aluminum and glass. I took my recycling with me.

Wee White Cottage Was Wonderful !

The Wee White Cottage is at the end of a private road. In October when we stayed we had the neighborhood mostly to ourselves. It was wonderfully quiet. The cottage is rustic but nicely decorated and had everything we needed. It felt like home. The lake is only steps away. If I had to use only one word to describe our stay it would be relaxing!

Perfect week

We spent a lovely week at the cottage. The space is so cozy and the lake is beautiful. We had hot weather but even with no AC, the cross breeze and easy lake jumps kept us plenty cool. Loons were a treat! Would not hesitate to return! The camp has everything you need. It’s old and just a little bit funky but oozing with charm, just how a lake cabin should be. Bedding was comfy, kitchen was stocked! Kayaks were a dream. Thank you for having us!

The cottage well depicted in pictures. Well equipped yet rustic. There is no room to enjoy indoor events of any kind or to sit for more than 1 or 2. TV reception non existent, wifi connection was good.The lakeside grounds are not for unsteady guests and the steps to dock are fairly steep, hazardous with pine needle droppings in the unrelenting rain for my stay.. The pine tree branches are low hanging and block a lot of the lakeview. Not a place I would rebook but I can see athletic parties who enjoy water activities liking it. The owner was responsive with good contact availability. Weather issues nothing owner can fix. In heavy rain there is a leak in kitchen near the left side of the microwave.

Perfectly peaceful space to Rejuvenate

We loved staying here. Dot thought of everything we might need and made sure our stay was pleasant and effortless. Our stay was peaceful, calm, and off the beaten path. The location on the lake was beautiful and we spent hours just sitting in the Adirondack chairs, absorbing the peace and quiet. Perfect location near our relatives in Casco. This has become my favorite vacation spot EVER!

Perfect

I couldn't have asked for more. The cottage has such a wonderful feel. Lots of natural light, cozy with a high ceiling, comfortable couch and bed, lovely lighting at night. Being able to kayak around the lake in the fall (had it to myself) is something I won't forget. So quiet aside from birdsong (loons!). Good location for access to hikes, golf, flea markets, grocery store, pretty much everything you need. I'd recommend this to anyone.

"A little gem"

Loved the cozy cottage and quiet location. Right on the water, with beautiful views and kayaks included which was a plus. We saw ducks, loons and an eagle. Nice local hiking trails in the area as well. Great places to eat nearby too. Would love to stay here next summer, to fully enjoy all this tiny cottage has to offer- like swimming from your own private dock, cooking on the gas grill, sitting around the camp fire pit, reading in the hammock and falling asleep to the sound of the loons.

Beautiful setting by the lake

The cottage was a little rustic but clean and comfortable. The lake was beautiful and we explored all of it in the nice kayaks. We spotted eagles and loons almost every day. One day we watched as an eagle dove for fish as we sat watching from the dock. On rainy days there were flea markets and breweries to visit in the area. I would definitely recommend the cottage to anyone looking for a place to relax and enjoy the outdoors.

The Wee White Cottage was exactly as pictured, and very comfortable. We had everything we needed, and enjoyed the use of the kayaks. Sunrises over the lake were gorgeous. We enjoyed both our coffee and our evening bonfire looking out over the water and listening to the loons.
