This classic Maine cottage has a well equipped kitchen, five bedrooms, three full baths, pantry with washer/dryer, three indoor-outdoor eating areas, large vaulted-ceiling family room with impressive stone fireplace, large wrap-around screened porch facing the water, High Speed Internet, new e charging station in the garage and spectacular waterfront views.

Situated on Long Pond, a ten-mile long lake with frequent sightings of loons, eagles and herons and great for swimming and boating. Birchrock is across the lake from Days General store in Belgrade Lakes, and is about 10 minutes drive from the hiking trails of the Kennebec Highlands and 2 miles from the world-class Belgrade Lakes Golf Course.

We are a multigenerational group, all physically active. All of us had a wonderful time. The three season house was very comfortable with a large kitchen ( not eat-in), a large stone fireplace in the common room, dining area, and an extensive screened wrap around porch that we used extensively for "outside" dining. We'd have our dinners @ the large dining table in the great room. Bedrooms were all comfortable and and beds were great. We loved the waterfront area with the deck and chairs extending onto the dock and the Adirondack chairs. We were in the water from sun up to sun down. We got the canoe and all of the kayaks out of the boathouse and used them every day for long trips and trips across the lake. Belgrade Lakes, its farmers' market, Day's market and the nature center were all within easy paddle across the lake. We made lots of trips. The wildlife was exceptional. We had 2 adult loons feeding its fledgling that paddled up and down the lake with multiple sighting, and a 15 member flock that we moved with in its midst on a local paddle. At the tip of our penninsula, there were 3 fledged eagles sitting in the pine trees waiting for their next meal that the bald eagles brought regularly. If you were out on the water with the loons, they sent out the alarm, loud and continuous when an eagle flew near by. All in all, it was a wonderful trip and we fully enjoyed Birchrock.

WE LOVE BIRCHROCK!
Birchrock is well maintained and has all the comforts of home. We stayed in the early part of the season so nights were cool but the wood burning fireplace insert and the space heaters made it comfortable. I imagined kids swimming and enjoying all the outside and basement has to offer in the summer months. The location is beautiful, peaceful and worked well for our family as we attended Colby's graduation and made it into a vacation.

Beautiful, spacious lakefront cottage
Birchrock was the perfect vacation spot for our extended family - six adults and five children ranging in age from 1-9. There was plenty of room to spread out house with an expansive lakefront porch, peaceful dock and picnic area and paved 'open air' basement the length of the house for the kids to run around and play. The house was stocked with whatever we needed and along with swimming and boating, there were plenty of games and activities to keep everyone busy. We watched the loons in the lake every day from the house and dock. Owners were eager to help and wanted to make sure we had a great time. We had a wonderful week and would recommend Birchrock to anyone!

Great place for the extended family to enjoy together
We had our whole family - grown kids, spouses, and grandchildren - here for a week. The dock area, swim float, kayaks, yard (with corn hole!), and toys, games and puzzles were perfect for us, from toddlers to adults. We enjoyed great biking and hiking in the area, fishing, good restaurants, and a couple of local stores for necessities... as well as not-so-necessary things like morning donuts and evening fudge :-) Kitchen is well-equipped, amazing porch, nice grill, propane mosquito trap, and plenty of seating, inside and out. If you want to rent a motor boat during your stay, be sure to book it well in advance...there was nothing available anywhere. If you have kids, bring a battery-operated baby monitor so you can be down at the dock when the kids are napping. Faces east...you get beautiful sunrises, but sun is pretty much off the dock by mid-late afternoon.

We are two partner families from greater Boston who love sitting on our dock, watching loons, herons, kayaking to the peninsula point nearby to view the eagle family, swimming to swim dock, " sunset cruises" on kayak or boat. We love to share our special bit of paradise in our beautiful l"camp"

Why they chose this property

It's a throwback to the way life should be. Belgrade Lakes is a well kept secret gem. Long Pond is quiet, peaceful, relaxing, with pristine clear lake water, wonderful hiking trails and everyone loves and appreciates the neighborhood.

What makes this property unique

Sweeping lawn to dock and swim dock , boathouse. Cottage was custom built in 1929 , renovated , so comfortable you never want to leave - except for the winter.
