This cottage is the perfect getaway! We have rented many times before from VRBO but this was by far the best communication that we have had with the host and the kitchen was supplied with all the items I needed for cooking throughout our stay. We are already planning our next stay! If you are looking for the perfect cabin on the lake, this is it!

We had a great stay at Scott’s perfect lakefront cabin. The house was comfy and clean and the location could not be beat. The dock was a huge plus. The lake was quiet and great for swimming and fishing. Belgrade Lakes had a cool little downtown which was accessible via boat in just a few minutes. Highly recommend this home.

The cottage and the location are absolutely beautiful. We spent our week reading on the dock and exploring Long Pond via kayak. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed for the week. The kitchen was well-appointed and had all the utensils and pots/pans you could need. We've already booked for next year!

PERFECT!

This cottage was absolutely perfect for our vacation getaway! It was very comfortable - nicely decorated, and the porch overlooking the lake was our favorite place to hang. The one small drawback was that the dish network was out (probably from recent storms) but that wasn't a big deal for us. We loved every minute of our stay!

Hi Pam thanks for the nice review! So glad you enjoyed your stay with us. Yes we had a tree branch fall over the dish on our roof and damage it, sorry about that! Always welcome back! Scott

Great Spot

Spent a week here with our three children and 2 dogs. The place was great, fishing was great...son caught a very large pike but I couldn't seem to upload a photo on VRBO. I was also surprised that the boat traffic wasn't too bad given the size of the lake. Would surely stay again.

Paddling vacation

The cottage and its location were perfect for us. We brought our kayaks and explored almost every corner of the large lake during our week stay. The lake is relatively calm, the water is crystal clear and great for swimming. The dock is a great place to relax and catch the morning sun. The cottage had everything we needed!

Wonderful stay!

We enjoyed the serenity of the pristine lakefront property. Scott replied immediately to some minor issues, and overall everything provided in the cabin was practical and comfortable. We rented a small motor boat nearby and were able to dock it at the cabin. I even caught a good sized bass right from the dock!

What a wonderful house this is! The house is clean and well stocked with a gorgeous view of the pond. We heard the loons every day. Kayaking on the pond was so peaceful. We love to hike and there a dozen nice trails within 30 minutes. Our little beagle had fun too!

Perfect Family Vacation

Have stayed at this house before, loved it then and loved it this time too! Perfect location! Had everything we needed! It was the perfect vacation! Day trips to all the "touristy" places and then returned to the peace and quiet! Our family had great success fishing and were able to moor the boat right at the dock in front of the house! Our family has stayed at Scott's neighboring property and it is equally perfect! Will definitely stay there again!

What an adorable place! Located right next to the shoreline. All the comforts of home!

We were looking for perfect little spot on a quiet lake and this fit the bill! Adorable, well maintained and well constructed home with a cute cottage look. The best part was the location. The porch overlooked the lake and the views were spectacular. Plenty of room for our family. Cozy, yet room to move. All of the comforts of home but a much better view!

Wonderful Spot

We’ve been vacationing in the Belgrade lakes for the past 5 years. We usually like to mix it up and change lakes and find new places. I don’t think we will be doing that anymore. We have found the perfect spot and plan to return to this house next year. We loved it!

Excellent stay

We had a great time in Maine and this property was absolutely beautiful. It was exactly as described on Vrbo. We communicated with Scott the owner when needed and he was very responsive to our questions. The location was central to local shopping for groceries (Day’s). The property was also within 30 mins to other towns that were of interest. Nice weather allowed us to hike some of the local trails, and the views were over the top. We were able to see the northern lights right from the dock. Overall a great relaxing vacation and stay. Thanks

Tranquility and Serenity

This was one of the best places I have stayed. Two friends of mine and I usually do a girls paddle week at the lake. This year, my husband was with me for the first part of the week and friends arrived for second part. All was great! The lake, the kayaking (we had our own) and the peacefulness of Long Pond. We were all so happy with this cabin! It had everything we needed and was pristine! Thank you Scott for a great week!!

Fairytale cottage with all modern comforts

Every corner of the lakeside cottage was adorable and charming, with every room having architectural detail and on point decor. Immaculately clean with a beautiful view and great dock with a swim raft as well. Air conditioning in every room! Super sunny charming bedrooms! Never had a kitchen well stocked with spices and foil/saran wrap, etc. before, what a treat. We and our dogs absolutely loved it! Can't recommend it highly enough.
