Relax in the glow of a campfire at this waterfront cottage on Thompson Lake | Cottage in Oxford, ME

This 3-bedroom cottage in Oxford is perfect for your special escape. Just 50 feet from the water’s edge, this charming cottage has unparalleled lake access! There are no crazy hills to navigate, and only minimal stairs.
Enter the lake from your own private dock with sturdy aluminum steps, and you will quickly appreciate the sandy bottom. Our location is considered the premier location on the lake, with beautiful western views across the broadest section of the lake. .
Spectacular views of the lake abound from the moment you step inside this charming escape from the stress of your daily life. Spend a quiet evening listening to the loons around the fire pit, or spend an afternoon swimming while eagles patrol the shores. Thompson lake routinely enjoys a spot in the top 5% of Maine’s most pristine lakes and is fed by the famous Poland Spring Aquifer.
Speaking of water, there is no need to haul in bottled drinking water! Unlike many cottages, we have some of the freshest, cleanest tap water available for you, supplied by our own private well drawing from the famous Poland Spring Aquifer.
Enjoy swimming and water-sports when the sun shines, or on a rainy day visit the nearby Oxford Casino. Shop the outlets in Freeport, or enjoy Portland’s famous foodie spots. The Oxford area has some world-class rock hounding locations. Boat across the lake to enjoy a lobster roll or some pizza at the Outpost. Enjoy a hike or bike ride along Maine’s many scenic trails. Stargaze from the dock, and maybe catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights or a shooting star if you are lucky. Thompson Lake holds the current state record for small mouth bass, so borrow one of our poles if you have a fishing license!
Rent a boat if you like. The Thompson Lake Marina has so many options from pontoon boats and ski boats to peaceful canoes. We have 2 moorings available for your use.
The cottage was thoroughly renovated in 2023, and has all new kitchen appliances, new bath fixtures, and new furniture.
With 1 split king bed in the downstairs bedroom and a queen bed in each of the two upstairs bedrooms, plus a queen futon on the shady screened sleeping porch, up to 8 guests will have a wonderful night's sleep. Please keep in mind that the futon is not inside the cottage but on a screened porch. If you are booking in the early spring or late fall, it may not be comfortable to use the futon due to cool temperatures. In shoulder seasons we therefore recommend a six guest maximum.
If you prefer twin beds to a king, we can make that happen for you! There is a full bath downstairs and an added half bath upstairs for your convenience
For your convenience we have a gas grill available, a fire pit, and an expansive lakeside deck with cheerful party lights, comfortable chairs and a large table. A second deck we call the coffee deck is perched just ten feet from waters edge, offering a peaceful spot to start your day. Enjoy the hammock for a vibrant sunset over the lake.
Inside, enjoy our puzzle and game selections, and the modern conveniences of our newly remodeled kitchen, with a microwave, dishwasher, electric range/oven, and coffee maker, as well as pretty much any kitchen essential you could hope for. WiFi is very fast, with fiber internet, and provided free of charge. Multiple streaming devices are not a problem, though we do encourage you to take a break from technology and connect with nature and enjoy our beautiful setting!
SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS:
Fire Pit
Please contact state of Maine fire officials before having a campfire. Campfires are dependent on burn conditions, and may require a permit. If you have a campfire, please have the hose beside the fire pit and ready to use.
Dogs
We love dogs and welcome them, but please make sure that your dogs stay on the property and do not disturb the neighbors, either by intruding on their property or by barking excessively. Please remove dog waste promptly with the scoop provided near the garbage receptacles and place it in the garbage.
Laundry:
Please DO NOT strip the beds before you leave. Our housekeepers prefer that you leave the bedding in place and allow them to be able to look it over before changing it. This helps us keep everything extra clean for our next guests and helps us identify bedding in need of replacement. All of our bedding and towels are new for the 2026 season. All linens including duvet covers are laundered between every booking.
Please place all dirty towels in the hamper provided.
Dishes:
Please load and start the dishwasher. Dish washing detergent and instructions will be provided in the cottage.
We have lots of plastic cups available for use near the water. For safety purposes, please avoid taking glassware to the dock or waterfront.
Key Codes:
We remotely change the code between each booking for your peace of mind.
Road:
We are very lucky to have one of the best maintained camp roads around the lake. Many neighbors take advantage of it to walk with children and pets. Please respect our neighbors and keep everyone safe by limiting your speed on the road to 15 mph or less.
Safety:
Please no diving off the dock. There are several rocks we are sure you wouldn’t like to meet in that manner.
Quiet Hours:
Please keep noise to a minimum between the hours of 10 PM and 8 AM.
