This well appointed home was much bigger than expected. After a long drive, I was so impressed to be able to walk in and see that everything was so spacious & beautifully set up. With only two of us on this trip, we didn't even need to use the upper level, except to take a look at the wonderful Loft & 2 Bedrooms up there. Loved having a 1st floor Bedroom & Full Bath! Everything was clean & easy to use. Gorgeous views of the lake with fall foliage was a bonus! I'd love to stay here again. We used to live in the area, so it was like coming home. Great location, close to both Waterville & Augusta, just around the corner from Christy's Convenience Store & gas station, and minutes to Belgrade Lakes shops & restaurants. The Owner was in touch to make sure all was well & answer any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Enjoyed a quick stay at this quiet lake side cottage. We appreciated having the window A/C as the temp was a little warmer than expected for October. Having access to the kayaks was a nice added benefit. It was a comfortable stay for our family of four.

I rented the house on the lake so I could enjoy time with my kids and grandkids from California. There was plenty of room for the six of us and my two little dogs. The location and lake access was great. We were able to bbq, use the kayaks and just relax. Host very responsive to any questions. Would definitely start again.

The house was so cozy and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the views of the lake, the village, and all recommendations provided by the host. We went to Willows Awake winery, it was excellent! We also stopped at the local farmers market before we left town. We enjoyed breakfast and coffee at Hello Good Pie. This was definitely the relaxing weekend away that we needed!

Our stay was very comfortable. The cabin was styled and decorated nicely. Very clean with basic supplies and kitchen wares. Outdoor spaces were large and deck was a great addition for entertaining.
Alana was very responsive to messages.
One of our guests was in a wheel chair and was able to get into the side door and navigate around the first floor, bathroom, and deck easily.
Nice quiet street with friendly neighbors.
Will definitely book again!

Very clean, amenable, and up-to-date rental.
Rental was everything it said it was. It’s very clean, up-to-date, and has a great layout. It’s a very short walk to the shared waterfront, where you can swim, kayak, or hang out on the pleasant common grounds. The other families in the neighborhood were extremely friendly. Dogs were welcomed by all. I would definitely recommend this rental to other families.

Nice little getaway!
This is a beautiful spot on Great Pond. The house is cozy, with all the modern amenities, and everything was very clean. Water access was very easy, and we enjoyed the two kayaks which were provided for us. The hosts were wonderful, and when we had a question, they were on it! They went above and beyond to make sure everything worked properly, and we had everything we needed.
