About this property
Cozy Keyes Cottage | Lakefront • Dock • Kayaks
Summary:
Cozy Keyes Cottage is your peaceful lakefront escape on Cobbosseecontee Lake — a hidden gem in Winthrop, Maine. With a private dock, kayaks, a fire pit, and room for up to five guests, this well-appointed cottage blends comfort and charm with direct access to the water. Whether you’re sipping coffee while listening to the loons, paddling the cove, or gathering around the fire pit under the stars, this is where memories are made — in every season.
The Space:
Step into a lakeside haven that blends rustic warmth with thoughtful comfort. Cozy Keyes Cottage is a two-bedroom, one-bath getaway designed for guests who love the outdoors as much as the indoors.
As you enter, you’re welcomed by a fully equipped kitchen — complete with oven, stove, microwave, fridge, cookware, and a Keurig stocked with assorted pods. Whether it’s your first coffee of the day or a family dinner after a long paddle, this kitchen is set up for simple, enjoyable meals.
The living room sits just off the kitchen, with large windows that frame the lake just steps away. A loveseat and two cushioned chairs create a perfect nook for reading or watching your favorite shows on the wall-mounted TV. The decor is cozy, inviting, and unmistakably Maine.
The first bedroom offers a king-size bed and dual bureaus, giving you space to fully unpack and feel at home. The second bedroom includes one full-sized bed and one twin, ideal for kids or additional guests. A full bathroom with a soaking tub, plush towels, and personal toiletries completes the space.
But what makes this cottage truly special is what lies just outside your door: a private deck with lounge seating and a gas grill, a gentle lawn that leads right to the water, and uninterrupted access to Cobbosseecontee Lake — one of Maine’s most beloved lakes.
Whether you’re stargazing by the fire pit, casting a line off the dock, or watching loons glide across the cove, this is a space designed to help you slow down and savor every moment.
Whether you’re visiting in summer for kayaking and swimming, during the fall for brilliant foliage and peaceful walks, or in winter for snowmobiling and ice fishing right from the shoreline, Cozy Keyes Cottage offers something special in every season. Cobbosseecontee Lake is widely regarded as one of Maine’s top bass fishing destinations and regularly hosts popular tournaments, including the state’s largest single-benefit team event. It’s a true year-round escape designed to make memories no matter when you visit.
Guest Access:
Guests have full and private access to the entire cottage and surrounding outdoor spaces.
Step outside to your own dock, where you can launch one of the included kayaks, paddleboards, or the canoe for a quiet trip around the cove. Enjoy the BBQ grill on the deck for lakeside meals, and gather around the fire pit in the evenings for s’mores and stargazing.
Whether you’re fishing, swimming, kayaking, paddleboarding, or just relaxing by the water, everything you need is right here — and available year-round. In winter, the frozen lake becomes a playground for ice fishing, snowmobiling, and skating, all just steps from your door.
The Neighborhood:
We are lucky to be a part of Winthrop, Maine! There are so many charming local shops and eateries nearby in downtown Winthrop. We are down the road from one of the most famous ice cream shoppes in Maine, Fielders Choice! If you are new to Maine or new to this area, we definitely recommend! The theater at Monmouth is always a great family outing if you happen to be visiting when a production is playing! We are close to Hannaford (a local grocery store) in downtown Winthrop as well as in Augusta as well!
Here at the cottage, our quaint neighborhood is quiet and serene. You will find more noise made by the loons than anything else! The quiet dirt road let’s guests walk around and look at the surroundings. Feel free to adventure as best as you can in this very small neighborhood! The local neighbors are all friendly and welcoming.

Cozy Keyes Cottage is conveniently located just minutes from downtown Winthrop and a short drive to Augusta. The public boat launch is nearby, and guests can dock their boats right at the cottage.
