About this property

Star Point on Snow Pond in the Belgrade Lakes

Spend a week or more at Star Point, and experience summer in Maine, the way life should be! Our comfortable cottage is situated at the wide end of Messalonskee Lake (aka Snow Pond), in the famous Belgrade Lakes chain.
Located at the waters edge, our camp was built in 2004 and features an open floor plan with 180 degrees of lake views from our deck on the point. Two decks and a porch offer plenty of outdoor seating in the sun or in the shade - where you will enjoy spectacular sunsets, the call of the loons, and gorgeous night skies.
Inside, the kitchen is a cook's delight and you can't beat those views. If you would rather just toss something on the grill as you toss a salad, that will work too! The main bedroom is on the first floor, with a king-sized bed, 2 dressers, and large closet. The bath is small but efficient, and is also on the first floor. Kids enjoy the loft bedroom with its cozy nook where they have a birds-eye view of the lake and first floor. The loft has a queen-sized bed a Twin Size Bed and room for sleeping bag or two.
The property is nestled in a small cove with a sandy bottom, great for swimming, fishing, or just floating. We have a large dock for your boat and easy access stairs off the dock leading to a nice sandy spot.
For fishermen, Snow Pond is a dream spot. The lake was named one of Americas 150 Best in 2007 according to Field & Stream. Trout, Bass and huge Northern Pike, are all here waiting for you to cast a line.

Picture Perfect Lakeside cottage
We had a wonderful time at Star Point cottage. Everything about the cottage was lovely. It was super clean, great water front and deck area. A separate table area out at the point for dining. Comfortable chairs outside (which is a rarity at cottages) and inside. A beautiful kitchen for cooking and windows in all directions. Swimming of the dock was clean and the easiest steps into water we've ever seen. The water was clean, fresh and wonderful for swimming, kayaking and floating. 2 eagles were nesting in the next bay and made daily flights near the cottage. It was a perfect escape and change of scenery for a week especially this summer. Thank you Tim and Laura for sharing your special place.

Annuversary week on the lake
This rental exceeded our expectations. The camp was thoughtfully designed. The workmanship is excellent and the finishes are very nice. It is well supplied with everything you would need in the kitchen. The setting, outdoor spaces, decks, dock, proximity to the water, the views, sunsets.... we enjoyed every moment, and hated to leave. Would definitely stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Tim & Lauren

Host profile image
We are both born and raised in Maine and love the outdoors. We live and work less than 15 miles from the cottage. We have an intimate knowledge of the lake, the surrounding area and Maine and we would gladly share our knowledge and enthusiasm for this great place before, during and after your stay.

Why they chose this property

This property has been in Tim's family since 1972 so we are the second generation of owners. Several family members and friends live near or own cottages on the lake so Star Point is often the site of choice for family gatherings for celebrations and lobster feeds.

What makes this property unique

Star Point is actually one of five points on a peninsula that sticks out into the widest part of this nine mile long lake, locally referred to as Snow Pond. We are at the end of our camp road so there is little to no car traffic. The shoreline is rocky and the front deck sits high on a ledge and we have a private dock with stairs leading into the water.
