About this property

Quintessential Lakefront Cottage with Amazing Views!

A classic Maine vacation destination! Ernest Thompson stayed on Long Pond while writing his 1979 play "On Golden Pond". Our property has one of the nicest views on the south end of this famous lake, and you can enjoy it all from inside our 12'x24' screen deck just 30 feet from the shore! This custom designed cottage offers all the privacy and amenities you are looking for in a vacation rental. Ideal for a couple, couples or small family looking for a relaxing retreat to kayak, fish or boat. We offer a tastefully appointed cottage with a bathroom, and three bedrooms with two queen beds and two built in twin beds, including the linens, dishware and cooking utensils. We also have a washer and dryer, WiFi, swim platform, your own large, floating dock to accomodate boats up to 18ft, and many miles of quiet tranquil roads to walk your pet or jog. We also allow most breeds of dogs for a modest fee, but PLEASE CONFIRM BEFORE BOOKING that your dogs age and breed are allowed. Long Pond offers nearly 3,000 acres of beautiful Maine waters with islands, pines, loons and bald eagles. More than enough for a great week of kayaking, boating or whatever your summer interests are. Long Pond is a deep, clear lake and great for swimming. Of all the Beldgrade Lakes, Long Pond is the least developed and most pristine. Drive or go by boat to the town of Belgrade Lakes for dinner or ice cream. A classic summer vacation area, Long Pond and the Belgrade Lakes area are sure to please. Approximately 3 hours from Boston.

Relaxing week
The cottage was lovely and had everything needed for a comfortable stay. We explored the lake by kayak and motor boat. It was easy to rent a boat from the folks at Castle Island; they

Lovely Family Retreat
We can’t say enough about this cottage. Tastefully updated. Private. Amazing screened in porch with panoramic views of the lake. Perfect dock + floating dock combo. Tucked away in a nice little cove with perfect temperate water and terrain for swimming. We’ve stayed at 5 different spots on Belgrade Lakes and this was our favorite. A bit of a drive to town but still worth it. If we could do over, would rent a fishing boat from Castle Island and that would negate the distance from town by giving a straight across the lake option for errands or dinner/ice cream. Would recommend to all!

Fairytale cottage with all modern comforts
Every corner of the lakeside cottage was adorable and charming, with every room having architectural detail and on point decor. Immaculately clean with a beautiful view and great dock with a swim raft as well. Air conditioning in every room! Super sunny charming bedrooms! Never had a kitchen well stocked with spices and foil/saran wrap, etc. before, what a treat. We and our dogs absolutely loved it! Can't recommend it highly enough.

Why they chose this property

This property had the best location we had seen on Long Pond, we couldn't resist the view, clear water and privacy.

What makes this property unique

The best thing about this cottage is that you are in 'real' cottage country when you are here. There are no long strips of overdevelopment on your drive to our place, and there no noisy highways, or large resort operations on this lake chain. We are at the end of a beautiful, quiet, country road, with great privacy. Best of all, the heavily forested shoreline of the lake means that when you are on the water, you see trees and loons, not cottages!
