About this property

Welcome to Tilden Cottage where you have it all in a Maine Vacation. The cottage is situated down a private road in the tranquility and seclusion of Tilden Pond. It is also centrally located for day trips to all the mid-coast harbor towns and fishing villages.

Inside The Cottage
Renovated open floor plan with a completely new kitchen with warm maple countertops. You can relax in front of the floor to ceiling stone fireplace and morning coffee is a must on the enormous (30 ft) screened in porch. There are three bedrooms (King, Queen, and a bunk room with 4 twin beds) and 2 full bathrooms as well as a separate family room with a TV and lots of games. We have put pine wood floors throughout the house. You can enjoy a meal or games on the porch or in the dining area.

Outside The Cottage
Get on the water using the canoe, one of the three kayaks, or the standup paddle board
Gas Grill
Adirondack chairs to enjoy the view
Dock and Swim float
Fire pit for lots of s’mores
Loon songs and of course a spectacular view of the Milky Way!

The Pond
Tilden Pond is a 400 acre lake with no public boat access. Even though 10 horse power boats are allowed on the pond it is a very rare sight leaving only the quiet hush of kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards and the like.

The Surrounding
Tilden Cottage is just 15 minutes from lovely Belfast and 25 minutes to Camden “The Jewel of Maine”. These as well as many other close quaint New England villages on the waterfront offer shopping, dining, local fairs, festivals, and farmers markets and spectacular views of the Atlantic. You can even enjoyed a ferry ride out to an island and picnic next to a light house!

If you can tear yourself away from the peace and quiet of the pond, the location is ideal for exploring the whole mid-coast region. There are tons of outdoor activities: hiking in Camden Hills State Park (15 mins), is a treasure, with spectacular views of the Penobscot Bay, Acadia National Park (1 hour 30 min), biking on local scenic roads, sailing and exploring Penobscot Bay.

Lovely home with the most serene view

The home is gorgeous and cozy. Apparently this issue will be fixed in the spring, but the getting there driving at 6 mph due to potholes the last half mile or so got old very fast.

Warm and inviting

This summer cottage on a lovely quiet Maine lake. I can't say enough how wonderful this home is - feels like a real home that just happens to be on water. The host is extremely responsive and the home has everything you need. Gobs of towels, gobs more of games, puzzles, and dvds. Beds are very comfortable and the kitchen is very well equipped. Highly recommend this property for your vacation.

Hidden Gem

We absolutely loved this property! So many fun activities both inside and out. Being close to the lake was a blast with all the lake toys! We also enjoyed playing the games and puzzles that were provided. Camden is a must, wonderful shopping and restaurants. We went into Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park a couple of times. This was my family's first time to Maine and we have added it to one of our very favorites! We hope to be back some day. Thank you Deborah for the best week!

A peaceful retreat on Tilden Pond

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Tilden Cottage. I have never stayed at a property that was so well equipped.The owners thought of everything. From games to a variety of coffee makers, Deborah's home supplied all our needs. We enjoyed visiting friends in Camden and in Belfast, but our favorite times were spent with coffee or a meal on the screened in porch with the best views, especially at sunset. We enjoyed the kayaks and exploring the pond, the loons, the ducks, the geese, the eagles. We will definitely be back.

Wonderful Week at Tilden Cottage

We so enjoyed our week at this cottage. The cottage is very clean, comfortable and well-appointed. We especially love the location and the screened-in porch. The water was warm this year and the loons were quite active! Also, my husband was very happy the fishing was great! Overall, we enjoyed a wonderful time. My only complaint....it went too fast!

About the host

Hosted by Deborah Slawson

We are the Reyland-Slawson Family originally from New England and now living in Spain. We fell in love with Tilden Cottage as a place for our family and friends to gather when we are in Maine. We hope you will find it as magical of a gathering place as we do!

Why they chose this property

It feels completely secluded and private but it is close to many quaint towns and villages.

What makes this property unique

Maine in the summer can get quit busy, Tilden Pond is the perfect place to be close to all that is happening while offering a quiet retreat that makes you feel as if you are away from it all.
