Photos and Description of the West Gardiner vacation cabin rental 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, sleeps 3

Your own island! Who has not dreamed of having one? This little gem of an island can be yours for a week. Little Diamond Island is a 1/4 acre island located in Lake Cobbossee in West Gardiner Maine. Just 20 minutes from the capital city of Augusta you are close to restaurants and shopping but in a setting that is private and close to nature. Little Diamond Island in Lake Cobbossee is a unique lake front vacation rental. Rustic 3 room cabin with lake views from every window. The lake is just steps away in any direction. Sandy bottom swimming areas and the lake is great for boating, canoeing, kayaking or jet skiing. Island vacationing is not for everyone. If you love camping (not the same as RV'ing) you will love this. It is a lot like camping except you have a real bed to sleep in. Rustic in nature there is no electricity or running water. We do provide a composting toilet, propane stove, refrigerator and solar campers shower.

Further details for this vacation cabin rental in West Gardiner, Maine

This is a peaceful spot for anyone who loves nature. Except for the occasional boat the only sounds you hear are the young osprey begging for food in the nest above the cottage and the mournful cry of the loons as they float past the island. You can see nesting osprey, pileated

Other Activities: Shopping, kayaking, wildlife viewing, boating

Review Submitted: October 2, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2009
My wife and I had a great week in late August living on the island with the Osprey and hummingbirds!!! We both really enjoyed the quietness, the cabin is cozy and the bed is comfortable. The sitting room is so relaxing when you open the doors and let the breeze and sounds of nature flow through the room. There is a grill and floating rafts to use. The stove and fridge both worked great. Also the “composting” toilet was more than acceptable…just like a real one (without the water). Very clean, without odor and most time there were no bugs or at most a minimum amount were to be found.

The paddle out took all of two minutes tops. I can personally attest that the fly-fishing in the surrounding area is ideal for bass; the fish are literally in your backyard no more than 50 yards away. There is even an anchor for the boat in the shed. We found a great gourmet deli/wine/beer store that has all sorts of libations from around the world and food to go that you can get raw of they will cook it for you. Also they will steam lobsters etc….its only 10 minutes away; at the corner of lake and 202 (next to the Conoco’s) I can’t remember the name, we put their flyer in the folder. Also we found a great antique store with many dealers in Fairfield, ME. About 25 minutes away but well worth the trip compared to other stores. Lastly, Debbie the owner was very polite, professional and down to earth, she made the rental process very easy. We have many fond memoires from there that will be with us forever. It’s a real Maine delight is right!!!

a beautiful place to stay.very private and cozy.a great place for a family to reconnect.the cottage was very cute and homey.the lake was pristine.a great place for bird watchers,the osprey nest was a bonus.we got to see momma tend to her babies.my two children ages 6 and 4 had a great time.they loved going on boat rides.without the distraction of television and computers they used their imaginations,they learned to play with each other in a new way,without bickering.i loved this place,it was clean and had great energy.my family enjoyed themselves,but it would also make a great romantic getaway;) we will definitely return to the little island.the owner of this property was a pleasure to deal with.
