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 cottage was incredibly clean and its lakeside location afforded my family ample opportunities to kayak, swim and relax by the water. We had a great time and our hosts did an amazing job.
This cottage was the perfect place for a small family reunion for a water-loving bunch. Feras went out of his way to welcome us and make us feel at home with the many special touches (welcome basket, goodies, etc.). The cottage provides a well-equipped kitchen. Having use of kayaks, canoe and fire pit added so much to our experience. I highly recommend this place!
Cozy Keyes Cottage is the perfect title for this home. From the moment you enter you appreciate the homey atmosphere and the attention the owners pay to detail. The immaculate cottage is equipped with everything you could need for your stay. Feras responds quickly to any questions or concerns and goes out of his way to insure you have an enjoyable stay, complete with a nicely stocked welcome basket. If you plan to visit the area, Cozy Keys will not disappoint!
We had another amazing week at Cozy Keys. I must say that Feras and team do an awesome job preparing their VRBO for their guests. Every big AND small detail is to perfection. Cozy Keys has everything you need upon arrival. Feras is also available at a moments notice if needed. His communication is on point. We will definitely be back again in 2025.
I'd never seen such an accommodating and responsive host in my life! Feras reached out frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. In fact, prior to our stay, we reached out with concern over the record high temps that were expected. So, even though the unit already has a strong mini-split system, he went out and got two brand new bedroom window AC units for us!The house was as expected and very comfortable. Everything in great condition. Two good sized bedrooms, comfortable living room large Roku TV. Gas kitchen, probably could use a few more pot/pan sizes, but other than that was fully stocked. New wood deck with grill, firepit, your own dock and paddleboats, kayaks and canoe. We took the canoe for a little spin around the lake. Soooo beautiful. Great location, right on the water, 7 minutes from Rt 95, gas stations, supermarket, coffee all a few minutes away, and a nice restaurant/brewpub a 1 minute walk.Neighbors are relatively close on the sides, so it's not like a wooded/isolated area, but we hardly ever saw anyone anyway. and we had more than enough space and privacy.Next time we stay in the area, we'll defiitely look for this unit
This was a family vacation. We enjoyed the cottage, kayaking,canoeing, paddle board, fires and smores and playing board games. Everything you need is close by. We had a great week and hope to be back soon. Thank you!!
The property was right on the lake, very clean and well-equipped. Feras was very professional and helpful to us -- always prompt to respond to a question. The only reason we gave it a 3 star for location was the traffic noise from rt. 202 was almost non stop. Though it did not bother us much, dogs are more sensitive.
Our family of three had a wonderful stay at the cottage. Everything was perfect—fully equipped and supplied, near a fishing lodge where we rented a pontoon and bought fishing equipment, and secluded but not so remote. The house was very clean and extremely comfortable. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, canoeing, and sitting around the fire pit at night. Feras left us a lovely basket of snacks and fresh-cut flowers and was so communicative. I highly recommend Cozy Keys Cottage!
