Spend an unforgettable escape in Central Maine at this adorable waterfront cottage. Boasting waterfront views and access to scenic, Threemile Pond, this two-bedroom retreat offers a healthy dose of peace and serenity to help you recharge while remaining within easy reach of area attractions. Sample local libations at nearby Cushnoc Brewing Co. or Two Hogs Winery, nearby, or tee it up at Western View Golf Course, just down the road. Augusta is just 10 miles away and Belfast makes for an easy day trip.

Take in the views from the deck or head down to the shore and lounge on the beach. The shallow water is perfect for family-friendly splashing and you can fish directly from the private dock. When the group has worked up an appetite, fire up the gas grill for a waterfront cookout and al fresco dining at the picnic table. In the evenings, gather around the beach firepit for s'mores and starlight conversation.

The home's updated interior boasts classic and modern features designed for guest comfort. The kitchen comes well-equipped for home-cooking with a full suite of stainless steel appliances, including a dishwasher for easy cleanup. The four-seater breakfast bar features a custom-finish counter featuring historical photographs and a regional map of the area. An adjacent dining room can accommodate table-seating for four. After the day's adventures, relax in the living room while streaming shows and movies on the smart TV or enjoying one of the provided board games. Dedicated desk areas in the living room and front foyer are perfect for remote work or study needs.

Both bedrooms can be found upstairs. Each is equipped with window-mounted air-conditioning for summertime and warm weather comfort. Additional home essentials include free WiFi and a private washer and dryer. Baby gates are available.

Okay Stay
The views out to the lake were unbeatable. The house interior was cute. There were, however, a few things that were disappointing. The listing photos made it seem like there was a sandy beach area which our kids were excited about- instead there was overgrown grass and dirt/rocks. The exterior could have used a little clean up, there were lots of cobwebs and spiders, especially on the deck area. The railings on the deck were not child safe so we were not able to use that space unfortunately. The 2nd king bed is actually in the bunkhouse next door, a barn/shed like structure which was very musty and had cobwebs everywhere. I reached out to Vacasa about the exterior of the home and they said they would have their local team address all of it, but that didn’t happen during our stay. We found communication difficult with Vacasa, and would not rent another home with a third party property management company again.

For owner Inside well done, but no screen in front windows, deck rail not child safe, large glass piece on beach area. Owner should have local phone numbers fire, police etc. For Vacasa the cleaning look good on the surface but you start using glassware, cook way, pans, we need to take time to clean them. When i reach out to Vacasa about the refrigerator leaking & the response was A technician was sent to check the condition, that never happen. I feel bad the owner to be using Vacasa spending the money he is not worth it. On my contract I paid $180.00 for cleaning not worth it. If I rent again through VRBO I'm hoping I don't have to deal with Vacasa.

Lake cabin that is extremely relaxing!
We loved this family focused cabin. Lots of dishes for cooking, outdoor seating, lake views, and great tv’s that stream. Two items that need to be looked at by the owners: Outside needs to be cleaned up. Too many spiders webs, dirty mats, etc. Also, the roof leaked in the driveway side bedroom during an extreme rain. No biggie, we put a bucket down to keep the floors from getting damaged. Two minor issues that didn’t stop us from giving 5 stars…we loved this place!!!
