A soul soothing escape. Artistically built and lovingly maintained.
Secluded & artistically built - a cozy cabin on top of Hampshire Hill. For those who want to remember what silence sounds like. Sit, enjoy the views, hear yourself think, or go explore 70 acres of private woods w 2 miles of private trails. 10 minutes from downtown Belgrade Lakes & public beaches on Long Pond & Great Pond. Close to Kennebec trails, snowmobile trails, Farmington & Augusta. 1 hr south of ski resorts. Great for stopping for 1 night or for taking a week to escape from the world. Snow tires and/or 4wd required in Winter months (October through April). We do plow and sand but more snow accumulates on top of the mountain. There is a .2 mile uphill that can be difficult in bad weather. Suggest that you arrive during daylight hours as it is very dark up there and can be difficult to navigate.

Me and girlfriend wanted to get away for a short stay and it was perfect. Our only regret we didn’t stay longer. Amazing host, very helpful. Prefect for private get away with your significant other. Would recommend
My husband and I just completed our 3d visit to properties owned by Host Kate. I really think the fact that we have returned twice after our initial visit speaks volumes about the quality of the property and our enjoyment of the area.
We have already reserved for next year.
Our rental was perfectly appointed for 2 and
our Host was always available if needed. But when good management is in place, the contact with the host is very minimal...
The cabin is perched on the side of a mountain
and enjoys great views of mountains from the porch.
Outdoor dining and seating, comfortable bed, fire pit, screened porch, private gazebo and myriad other amenities comprise just a small part of the great experience we had.
Make a reservation and you will take the first step toward creating a memorable vacation experience in a charming setting!
I cannot praise his property enough!
Thanks, Kate!
A beautifully unique gem to unplug. Loved the pet friendliness, the privacy(with a stunning view), the hiking opportunities in the region and the communication with the property manager! The cabin has many spaces as well. The gazebo, the screened in porch and my favorite, the deck off the bedroom. Great for morning coffee or evening glass of wine!
This is a great place to wonder in the woods. Plenty of trails to hike and great outdoor spaces. The gazebo is like a treehouse in the treetops.
