About this property

Comfy Cabin on the Lake

Our secluded, very quiet and private two bedroom cabin with loft features a bug-free screened-in porch on its large deck. The cabin overlooks peaceul Sandy Pond, inhabited by bald eagles, loons, and herons. Watch beautiful sunrises and sunsets, and swim, fish and kayak from our dock. We're close to coastal Belfast, Unity, MOFGA (annual Common Ground Fair), Waterville, Acadia and Camden. Eat at Erin French's The Lost Kitchen farm-to-table restaurant, visit the Amish, hike the Hills to Sea Trail.
Our cabin sits on a small peninsula jutting out into Sandy pond. We are conveniently located between Waterville in Central Maine and Belfast on the coast, each a short half hour away. We are on the same pond as Freedom's gourmet restaurant, "The Lost Kitchen," located in the restored Freedom Mill. Close by is the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association (MOFGA) in Unity, Unity College, and the Unity Center for the Performing Arts. The cabin is a perfect base for visiting the Common Ground Fair, Windsor Fair, the Amish country store and charcuterie. You can get to Liberty Graphics and the classic Liberty Tools in about twenty minutes. Best of all, the secluded lake is just steps away and usually you will find only birds once you are on the water. Bald Eagles nest a few hundred yards from the cabin and are seen almost daily. Loons, kingfishers, red-winged blackbirds, and fly catchers are common. During the fall Canadian geese visit as do a number of ducks and herons. The pond is stocked for fishing and the swimming in summer is wonderful. It is conveniently located for day trips to the coast, including north to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, and south to Camden, Rockport, Rockland, and Boothbay Harbor. The cabin is available only May through October.
The cabin has a complete kitchen, washer and dryer, 2 queen beds and a cot (in loft). It is heated in the Fall either by the wood stove or electric wall heaters. There are beautiful spots to watch the sunset or sunrise. When there's a full moon, the pond is magic. We have two docks, one at the cabin and the other dock is a scenic, short walk away. A double and single pond kayaks included for your paddling pleasure. The perfect place for getting away, relaxing and recharging, and exploring central Maine. There are great hiking trails very close by, and the historic Mill at Freedom Falls on the north end of the lake is a must see.

Why they chose this property

You are about to discover one of the best fresh water lakes in central Maine. We discovered Freedom, Maine in the 70s when we drove from Boston to Freedom for a weekend getaway. It was fall foliage time on Sandy Pond in Freedom and we had never seen a more beautiful place – the loons, the intense colors, the breathtaking views, the privacy, the wildlife. The rest is history. We fell in love, bought land nearby in Unity, built our dream house and came every summer. We raised our 3 kids on the pond where they learned to swim in its warm waters. After many years, one of the few cabins came up for sale and we purchased it from the original owners the same day.
The back story to the cabins also endeared us to the location. All the original owners were friends who wanted to build a vacation community of friends. In that spirit, they chose to build similar cabins with shared shorelines along a private road that runs down a small peninsula surrounded by water on both sides.
