About this cabin rental
Nestled upon Messalonskee Lake in the heart of the Belgrade Lakes region, you'll find this classic Maine cottage. In the warm months, there's room to park your boat and trailer at the property, and a public boat launch is a mile-and-a-half away. Golf, disc golf, music venues, a world-class museum, and fantastic local restaurants await in and around Waterville and Oakland. Portland, with a major jetport and bigger city attractions, is less than an hour and a half away.
At the cottage itself, start the day on your screened porch with a cup of coffee, enjoying the lake view. Then take a swim or float on beautiful Lake Messolonski (Snow Pond) just outside your door. Inside, you'll find a lofted space with hardwood floors, pine-paneled ceilings and walls, and all the cabin coziness you crave. Whip up a snack or quick meal in the spacious kitchenette, which features a fridge, brand new oven, and microwave, then grab a bite at one of the barstools. After a day of exploration, relax with a little streaming TV, upload the day's pics to to social media with the free WiFi, or just unplug outside with a gorgeous sunset view over the water. End the night roasting marshmallows around the firepit - another perfect lake day awaits tomorrow.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
I absolutely loved this cabin! The property was very well maintained and the cabin was incredibly clean and efficiently set up. Three things to consider - 1. The ladder to the loft is not dog-friendly if you have a medium to large size dog.2. The next door neighbors had 2 dogs off leash without a fence separating the properties.3. The property management company is very difficult to communicate with and they had some information incorrect such as the WiFi connectivity and basic knowledge of the property. Luckily, I was able to find the WiFi login and password on a piece of paper that was slightly hidden on the counter. I was also trying to inquire about lengthening my stay or a late checkout and they never got back to me.Overall, it was a great space and I would love to return!

We had a great stay in this cute and cozy cabin with direct lake access. The boat launch is nearby which made it super easy to go pike fishing every day. Then we'd come back to the warm cabin, cook up some steaks on the grill and snuggle up on the little loveseat. The only thing that would have made the stay better is for the windows to have shades for privacy, especially in the bathroom! The owner lives next door and he was around several of the days we were there so you sort of felt like you could be on display at night. The loft is pretty inconvenient since the ladder is very steep with strangley spaced steps. You can't really bring much up with you. We knew there was a loft from the listing so it wasn't a surprise and there's really nothing that can be done to change it but its worth mentioning, especially if you have a fear of heights. Overall, we had a really great stay and loved our time on Lake Messalonskee!

Very sweet cottage steps from the lake. We were greeted with fresh wildflowers and local pastries! The screened-in porch is such a bonus! Communication was excellent. Be aware that the steps to the loft bedroom are quite steep and definitely not suited for children.
