About this property
Private w/ waterfront <5 min to Pleasant Mt & town. Dock, pool table, ping-pong
*** Update: The VRBO platform began auto-displaying a house description that currently reads "Lakefront vacation home with kitchen and balcony." This text can't be edited or hidden. To ensure clarity for all guests, the house has private waterfront with a dock, a water pad, kayaks, a canoe, and other water gear at the water. The house is also set back from the water to comply with Maine waterfront laws for newer houses. Please see our photos, video links, and description in the listing for all details! ***
Looking for an easy, private getaway with your own waterfront? A place surrounded by trees but around the corner from everything? The vacation cabin feeling with modern amenities that make time away easy and more memorable?
In the summer, jump off the dock, paddle a canoe or kayak, go fishing, or relax with a book by the water on private Beaver Pond. Or use the Moose Pond public boat launch 3 minutes down the road. And it's only a 5 minute ride to the center of Bridgton for a movie or meal anytime of the year.
During the winter, wake up and be at Plesant Mountain ( Shawnee Peak ) for skiing or riding in less than 5 minutes. Go snow-shoeing or cross-country skiing on the snow-covered pond in back or on Moose Pond or the nearby trails. Or hit the snowmobile trails on and around Moose Pond and easily connect to the Maine state-wide trail system.
This newer, comfortable 2 BR, 2BA house with private water frontage on Beaver Pond is nestled in the trees and has the extras that take stress out of getaways: - Newer appliances, including a dishwasher, washer, dryer, full oven, refrigerator with ice maker, and filtered water system - Nighttime, winter, and rainy-day fun for all, with a full-sized pool table, ping pong, air hockey, board games, puzzles and toys - Screened-in porch accessible off the great room for reading or resting outside - High-speed 2-gig fiber interne connection, satellite TV, and 4G mobile phone coverage inside or outside the house

We had a great stay at this cozy and clean house. It had everything we needed, and lots of fun games to play. Great private waterfront location. Son caught a large mouth bass out back off the dock. Close to some great restaurants. Would definitely come back and recommend to others.
We stayed for 6 nights and lived it. The house was just what we needed- the dogs loved the yard and it was close to all the great places that Bridgton and Harrison have to offer. The house was exceptionally clean and John was a great host.
Great second year renting this place, nice and relaxing, great little 4 day vacation after a crazy summer season, got to go into town and wander around, definitely recommend this place, will rent again.
What a wonderful stay, the place is amazing! The access to pleasant mountain was super convenient and the amenities were an added bonus! We loved the peace and quiet along with the homey feel. 10/10 would recommend and look forward to booking again in the future!
It is always a wonderful stay with John & Melissa. They are so easy to work with and accommodating. The house is awesome and has everything you need. We will be back again!
This was the perfect long weekend with cozy yet spacious accommodations, great amenities and amazing owner communications and guidance on house operations. We were pleased to find a fully stocked kitchen with all the appliances you may ever need. A bonus was having our own skating rink, the pond skating was divine!
This cabin in the woods provided the perfect get-a-way for me, my husband & our two kids (ages 9 & 14). We played billiards, air hockey, pictionary, utter nonsense & taboo… watched movies On Demand and ate dinner at the Black Horse Salon. It felt just like having our own cabin in the woods. The hosts were great and the warm cabin with hot water was extra cozy.
Clean and so lovely. Communicative host. Pet friendly. Feels secluded and like a retreat into the woods... but only a five minute drive into the town! Thanks for a wonderful stay
Absolutely wonderful property. Quiet and relaxing with many amenities to occupy my son. Highly recommend if youre looking for a quiet retreat by the lake
We had a great time at this home.. we can’t thank them enough for letting us stay in their home. We loved that it was so private and well kept. We would recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway.
We had a great time! House is adorable and the town is so cute. We hung out, relaxed and played family games. It was nice to get out and just relax. John was very attentive and answered our questions within a few minutes.
The walls were covered in cobwebs especially the master bedroom. Most surfaces of the house were dusty including the ceiling fans. We would have spent more time in the back

Thank you for your positive rating of the place, even with your feedback about the cleaning. For all future guests, cleaning is very important to us and we and regularly get positive feedback on cleaning, even with the place being a cabin-style house in the woods! Our cleaners have been with us for 7 years because they are too and we'll definitely pass on this feedback so it is handled!
Thorough, clear instructions and communication from the owners about everything at the property. The listing is very accurate. The house was very clean, and we were very comfortable. The adults’ favorite spot in the house was the screened-in porch, the kids loved the ping pong table in the basement. We also appreciated that there are lots of comfy recliners for reading.
Peaceful retreat by the lake in Maine woods. Clean, well equipped and plenty of room for the family gathering. Canoe on the lake a nice bonus. Would definitely recommend.
This is a wonderful property. Even with a couple of rainy days we enjoyed our stay here immensely. Very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed for a great trip.
