Highland Cottage
Nestled Between the Atlantic Ocean and White Mountains. Still, WiFi Internet Service is available at Highland Cottage.

Picturesquely situated in the highlands overlooking the Saco and Ossipee River Valleys, this cottage offers a phenomenal mountain view with rolling hills and open fields. The winding country road, bordered by long stretches of stonewalls, provides a partial panorama of the foothills of the White Mountains in New Hampshire. A three-minute stroll brings one to an impressive overlook.

Highland Cottage is located one-half mile off the Pequawket Trail (Route 113), a Maine Scenic Byway. It is a two-story structure with lovely woodwork and is attractively decorated; the artistically-designed stairway is accentuated by morning sunlight. There are two bedrooms: one with a full-size bed, the other with a set of twin beds. The living room has a futon that opens to a full-size bed. Thus the cottage sleeps six. An eat-in kitchen with special country charm seats six diners. There is one bathroom with a shower as well as a washer and dryer laundry center.

The kitchen has a microwave, toaster oven, coffee pot, and full-size cook stove as well as a dishwasher. Pots, pans, dinnerware, and utensils are provided.

In addition…
• A screened-in porch with table and chairs
• A TV and DVD player (no cable)
• A CD player
• Small library collection, including general interest books, cookbooks
• Games and puzzles
• Portable electric fireplace and electric heat
• Stainless steel BBQ grille
• Washer and dryer
• Outdoor furniture

Make Highland Cottage your home base to explore some of Maine and New Hampshire’s most spectacular attractions. Whether you love to bike, hike, swim, fish, shop, dine, or view… Whether you most love spring’s blossoms and blooms, summer’s lush greenery, or autumn’s inferno of foliage color, the location of this hideaway is perfect to realize your vacation plan.
