About this property

Large Secluded Cabin on the Lake - Now booking 2+ night stays

This beautiful log cabin sits beside East Pond in Smithfield Maine. With direct access to the lake, you can hit the lake first thing in the morning and play all day. Or, stick closer to home and drop a line off the dock for some good old-fashioned fishing. Swimming, boating, fishing, or relaxing in the sun, however you like to relax, we have it here at Fish Upon A Star Cabins.

The Central Maine area also offers so many opportunities for indoor and outdoor fun. The cabin is centrally located to Augusta, Waterville, Skowhegan and Belgrade Lakes so you can discover all our area has to offer!

This two floor cabin boasts 4 cozy but spacious bedrooms, a large kitchen, spacious sitting room and dining room with seating for 10. The wrap around screened-in porch includes two seating areas for chatting the evening away and a dining table for meals or for family game nights.

In the warmer months, you will find a gas grill and a charcoal grill, two outdoor seating areas and a dining table. The lake side seating area circles a firepit, looking out over the private dock and swimming area. Kayaks, a canoe and pfd's are available for you to get out onto beautiful East Pond for a day of sightseeing and sunshine. Pontoon Boat and jet ski rentals are also available for longer excursions.

In colder weather (weather permitting), direct lake access offers opportunities for ice fishing, snowmobiling, and nordic skiing. Bring your own equipment or rent from a local outdoor goods shop. Spend the day playing in the snow and curl up at night by the cozy gas fireplace. There's something for every season here on the lake. :)

Beautiful Cabin in a beautiful setting!

We celebrated our granddaughter's 1st birthday at the cabin. The cabin is beautiful, tastefully decorated and was thoughtfully stocked for our stay. We enjoyed time at the lake, even a little canoeing and smores! We would definitely come back.

Peaceful Retreat

A beautiful cabin that was very well appointed. My family of nine had plenty of space and everything we needed for a fabulous vacation at the lake. Our young grandkids enjoyed the indoor and outdoor toys and the adults enjoyed using the canoe and kayaks. Communication with the host was great. I would love to visit again one day.

Wonderful vacation!

This property is beautiful! Hosts are wonderful and have great communication prior and throughout visit as needed. The house was well stocked and very clean upon arrival. We loved relaxing nights by the fire pit and sunny days playing in the lake. The screened porch was such a plus when we had a rainy day. Bedrooms are roomy and allow everyone to have private space. Absolutely loved our week here and would love to come back!

Great spot

Great host. The photos don't do this property justice. Beautifully decorated and amazing views from every room of the house. The host lives next door and is very accommodating to all your needs, and answers any questions promptly. Would love to stay in the summer, wish they allowed dogs. Overall a 10/10.

This cabin was just like the pictures and more. The inside was so comfortable and even though the weekend was a little chilly, the wood burning stove warmed up the whole house. Best of all was the kitchen just beautiful. Everything you could need except food was there. Area by the pond was gorgeous, we had an opportunity to make s’mores. I would highly recommend this place.

Fantastic Home for Colby College or Family Events

Book this house, you will not regret it! We rented this for our youngest daughter's Colby graduation. Amy is very responsive and so easy to deal with. While the pictures of the home look great on line, they do not do it justice. First of, it was spotless when we checked in. It is spacious and well laid out. The kitchen was equipped with anything you could need or want. There is a charming path down to the beach area where Amy had laid up wood for us in the firepit and there are lots of chairs to relax and listen to the loons calling. The screen porch would be ideal for families with kids to play after dark or in case of inclement weather. We didn't get to spend much time in the house as there were lots of grad activities, but the house is well stocked with books a, games and DVDs .We have had 2 kids go through Colby and have rented many houses over the years and hands down this was the best one! We'd go back in a heartbeat.

If I could give it 10 stars, I would! A wonderful cabin, beautifully appointed with everything you need and more. Plenty of towels, dishes, bedding…even the firewood was provided! Amy made the check in and the check out process super easy & convenient. Great quiet & peaceful location. Beside the gorgeous foliage on East Pond, we saw loons, beavers, eagles and deer! It was a perfect week!

The host was amazing. The cabin was well provisioned, no need to buy supplies. Enjoyed the whole stay beautiful view. Loved the proximity to the water, fire pit, and the kayaking. The cabin was just the right size for our family. Close enough to town and supplies but far enough to be quiet and peaceful.

The photos don’t do this house justice. It was perfect for 7 of us (3 adults and 4 teenagers). The living room had plenty of comfortable seating for movie nights. The outside covered wrap around porch was great for a morning coffee and quiet read before the kids got up. The house is so well appointed, anything you need you will find. The pond is really large (we were looking up what classifies a lake vs a pond) and super clean. If you’re looking for a quiet out of the way escape, Amy’s house is perfect.
I got a kick out of spotting the whimsy around the property
