Warm & Inviting Lakeside Retreat, Private, Tranquil Picture Perfect Setting

New to the rental market in 2025. As you enter the private gated entrance and descend through our fields that are great for star gazing, you will be in awe at the most picturesque vista in the Belgrade Lakes area. Positioned on several hundred acres, there are miles of walking trails that you can access directly from the house. This private Adirondack Style house in Mount Vernon is 25 feet from the waters edge on Ingham Pond, with easy boating access on to Long Pond and Belgrade Lakes Village. Ingham Pond is home to loon families every year. A kayakers heaven!! Standup paddle boarders heaven!! Fisherman's heaven!! We have a lot to offer. The house sleeps eight, offering 3 cozy bedrooms with 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, and 1 bunk bed. The 2 bathrooms are equipped with showers and 1 with a tub. Hair dryers are supplied for your convenience. Amenities include heating, WiFi, Direct TV, dishwasher, washer, dryer and a small office with desk and chair. Our drinking water comes from a deep drilled artesian well that has been tested and is safe. [Optional bunkhouse that sleeps 5 and has a full bath is available with an extra charge. Contact owner. Bunkhouse is only available to guests that rent the main house and must be rented for the same time period as the main house.] Guests can relax and unwind at this awesome retreat. Up to two pets are allowed with an additional $125 pet fee. We supply two kayaks, a canoe and very large dock and swim raft. If you bring your own boat, there is a State boat launch on Long Pond that allows you to take a scenic boat ride to Ingham Pond and The Adirondack. Boat rentals are available from Central Maine Boat & RV Rentals. Call 207-931-8820. There is a regulation size horse shoe pit too. Enjoy your time with the loons in a private, peaceful, tranquil setting. WE ONLY ACCEPT SATURDAY TO SATURDAY ONE WEEK RENTALS DURING JULY AND AUGUST. JET SKIS AND WAKEBOARD BOATS ARE NOT PERMITED. IF YOU CARE TO SUPPLY YOUR OWN TOWELS AND SHEETS, WE WILL DEDUCT$200 FROM YOUR RENTAL FEE.

Nice time

This cabin is amazing. Right on the water, has everything you need in the kitchen, and is perfect for a large family getaway or a trip with two, or even three families if you rent the optional bunk house as well. We had a group of 4 guys for a golf trip. We got rained out and couldn't play, so we just stayed at the cabin and had a great time telling stories and enjoying the view. Highly recommend and I would def rent again. Beautiful setting!

Although it rained most of the time, we still had a fabulous wedding and celebration. The house was perfect, the lake and surrounding views were spectacular, fishing was terrific, the hiking was lovely, the black flies and mosquitos were few likely due to weather conditions, and the overall atmosphere was private, relaxing and stunning.
