Brown Cottage on Knickerbocker lake

Brown cottage, it's a funky lil' cottage directly on a small lake. Pictures are very accurate. We had a good time, and it was especially nice to have access to kayaks and canoes, so that's definitely a plus+plus. Steep stairs were not especially problematic for us (as we are 60yrs+). We found the furniture / bedding & pillows not particularly "comfortable", (especially for the price point), the cottage is ideal for a couple, something to consider, we wouldn't even consider the (so called) 2nd bedroom for kids of any age, it was a small dark closet for us, more like a walk in closet, it was a good place for our luggage.

Lakeside tranquility

Lovely cottage with gorgeous views of lake throughout, unbelievably close to the water. Peaceful, quiet, friendly lake community, shared sandy beach with numerous kayaks and paddle boards to borrow from the beach. Deck, dock and float located at the cottage as well, where we enjoyed reading books and watching the loons. We loved our stay and would be happy to return to Brown Cottage again.

Very Beautiful, Private and Quiet

My only complaint is on the last day of our stay, the sulfur smell in the water coming into the house from the well was terrible. Other than that, I would stay here again provided this issue was fixed.

Beautiful Lake View

We had a nice time at the Brown Cottage. The bed was comfortable, the kitchen was stocked with any items needed for cooking, and it was convenient to Boothbay Harbor and other activities in the area. The best thing about the cottage was the deck right next to the lake. We spent a lot of time sitting on the deck enjoying the lake and the cool breezes. We also took advantage of the private beach, and kayaks which were available for our use.
