About this property
Spacious Newer Modern Home
This new camp is something special. Constructed in the traditional Maine camp style, it has been wonderfully put together by local craftsmen and has beautiful, bright varnished pine interior v-match walls.
For maximum privacy the home is situated approximately 200 ft from the lake, surrounded mostly by trees with peeks of the water. The private waterfront area which is exclusive to guests consists of a waterfront deck, swimming area with ladder, and dock extending out over the water. There are also offshore boat moorings. It is possible to drive to within 25 ft of the water if desired.
The main level offers a roomy modern kitchen with all new appliances, black granite tile and a 9 foot bar area. The dining area and living room offer a wonderful open floor plan. The main level also has a large screened porch which is perfect to curl up and read a book or just enjoy the wonderful natural setting. The master bedroom and full bath are located on the main level.
Up the stairs there is a roomy loft which has two twins and couch. Perfect for games or another spot to kick back and relax. Down the 'catwalk' there is the large 2nd bedroom which has a full sized bed as well as 2 twins. A door leads to a smaller upper deck.
The 3rd and lower level is a walk-out basement with TV area, bar, an additional sleeping room with full sized bed, and a full 2nd bathroom. There is a washer/dryer in the laundry room. Heat is available to take the edge off cool nights for those enjoying early spring or our colorful fall leaf season.
Tons of Fun at the Waterfront
At the waterfront is a new dock, private swimming area, BBQ area with waterfront deck, a buoy to attach your boat and/or watercraft to. The waterfront deck is large and a great spot for dining and enjoying sunsets at the water's edge.
From this very popular location on the Eastern side of Pinkham's Cove, you can boat all over Great Pond, ride your boat in to Belgrade Lakes village, and enjoy picture-perfect sunsets. The shore also has car access to as close as about 25 feet from the water, which is very convenient for loading/unloading kayaks, canoes, and the like.
The Belgrade Lakes area is known best as the inspiration for the story and film On Golden Pond. The lakes in the area (7 beautiful interconnected lakes) offer great boating, fishing, water skiing and of course swimming.
Enjoy the day at the lake or going through the countryside shopping treasures and antiquing. If you prefer a game of golf, the highly acclaimed course in Belgrade Lakes Golf Course is located just minutes away. A day trip to Bar Harbor, Freeport or Camden lets you enjoy more of what the great State of Maine has to offer and all are easily accessible from Belgrade.
Bring your boat or rent one and spend the day on any one of the seven incredible and beautiful lakes in the area. Boat/kayak rentals are easily available at several locations nearby. All these vendors are familiar with this cabin/property.
Please note: During the summer, our guest rentals run Saturday to Saturday. Sheets and Towels are not ordinarily supplied. Bedspread, blankets and pillows are supplied. Please bring your own sheets, towels, paper towels, and toilet paper.

Really liked being out in the Maine woods.
The cabin had everything I wanted, especially the kitchen which was fully equipped for any kind of cooking you might have in mind.
The host graciously helped us find towels which made the stay much more comfortable.
We had a great time.
The only complaint is that the week flew by too quickly! We enjoyed being tucked in the woods by beautiful Great Pond! Accommodations perfect for our family group! Enjoyed walks and lake time as well as trips into Belgrade Lakes Village and other nearby areas such as Augusta and Waterville. Sure hope to come back! Great host!
Needed a place to stay for our son’s college homecoming weekend and this location was only 20 minutes away. Very clean, very quiet, in a remote area. Lake is within walking distance about 300 feet but not visible from house. This is a great cabin in the woods. Host is accommodating and responds quickly.
This house is in a great location with plenty of space for everyone. The waterfront area is awesome and offers a great swimming location and dock/buoy for your boat. As advertised, it is a downhill walk from the house to the waterfront, but you can easily drive down there as well. As far as advice for future visitors, unless you pay extra for the linens and towels to be provided, make sure you remember to bring everything! We remembered our bath towels and beach towels, but didn't think about kitchen towels or hand towels for the bathrooms. Therefore, we went out and bought some while we were there. Also, the downstairs bathroom has absolutely no hooks to hang any towels, not even a hand towel. For some reason, there was no cold water in the downstairs bathroom sink. Not a big deal, but just unexpected. Downstairs was a little musty smelling, but also to be expected for a basement area. Lastly, the stairs up to the deck were steep and a little off pitch. Once again, not a big deal, but a little difficult for older guests. Maybe the writeup that states "new camp" should be updated. The exterior of the home doesn't look like the picture provided in the advertisement. I would guess that picture is from when the house was newly built. Overall, this was a nice place to stay and the owner even let us check in a little early. We had a fun week!
Great place. Bottom floor is extremely musty. Almost inhabitable. We aired it out and by the second day it was manageable. Water was pouring in the window under the deck, the morning we left from all the rain (hence the musty- ness).
The property was unsafe. The stairs have settled and are pitched and steep. There is a hole in the decking infrint of main door ... a tripping hazard. The kitchen propane stove was not fully functional. Only 2 out of 5 burners lit. There was a propane smell afterwards. I called the owner about the propane odor ... he never called back. The inside had not been properly cleaned in a long while. Basement was musty and moldy. It was unusable.

This property is not properly represented in its pictures. The property and the dwelling are run down and in need of serious updating and maintenance. The exterior is weathered and has moss growing on it, the screens and screen doors are in need or repair and/or replacement. The basement is water damged and moldy. The cabin was very dusty, had several spider webs hanging from light fixtures as well as painting and other supplies stored in common areas. The boat dock is wobbly and generally unsafe. The grill at the dock was unusable and disgusting. The underside of the deck leading to the cabin had a hige wasp nest which led to almost a dozen stings to 1 adult and 2 children.

Disappointed
The walk to the water was to steep for me to get to. The upstairs area was to hot. The downstairs (basement) was freezing. The doors to the house were open with no house key to use. Would not recommend. Disappointed Not worth the price.

We were very disappointed in how the cabin was listed on the VRBO site compared to its actual appearance. It is listed as a 'Newer Modern Home' and the pictures look very new. The actual cabin is at least 20-30 years old. The cabin needs lots of attention: - the front steps are horrible. Each step is too high and they are slanting forward. Someone is going to fall down these steps and you will be liable - the screens on the porch need to be replaced as well as the cushions on the chairs - the bedrooms need closets - more than pegs on the wall - the basement room might have been nice but the musty, mildew smell was so horrible no one could stay down there. The bedroom needs a doorThe biggest issue is that this cabin is listed as a LakeHouse on the lake. You can't even see the lake from the house and you have to walk to the dock a good 300 ft from the house. The dock is nice but there is no area to easily walk into the lake so we couldn't even hang out there.The price we paid was extreme for what we got. There are better places to stay on this lake for the same price.

Work Weekend
Reflections-We knew to bring sheets; we did not know to bring towels! That was a bit problematic as we were a group who had to work all day and had nothing for showers. It's all in the "view property details"on vrbo but difficult to navigate and finally in the last sentence of five or six paragraphs. Also a bit disappointing that there isn't really a view of the lake from the house.
That info should be more visible when booking. There should be more info IN the house and and SIGNS OUTSIDE the property-- like where that beautiful lake access is! Otherwise the house is lovely. It makes more sense for weekly rentals, we were earlier than prime season and only needed two nights.
Overall very poor experience and stay! Cleanliness of cottage poor.
Garbage left in cottage toilets and showers dirty. False inferred advertising of water front property. Cottage back in woods multiple cottages on lake in front of the property with dogs barking. Internet access did not work. Barbecue very dirty and no propane. Property did have access to the lake but dock was unsafe and collapsed when I stepped on it. Whole property needs maintenance and serious TLC. Also we travelled international flight and arrived late with no lights on and found out there was no linen/ bed sheets or towels etc. I definitely do not recommend this property as is. Although it has potential if owners put some upkeep and TLC.
Cabin was nestled in the woods. Beautiful space- close to all needed amenities. Owner was very responsive. We had several elders in our group so the large hill to lake access was not possible but we enjoyed the time nonetheless

Nice location but confusing access to water from the house.
Secluded yet convenient location. Very clean and well maintained. Outstanding layout for a small group stay plus entertaining. Owner was very responsive. Can’t wait to stay again!
