BEST LOCATION, BEST SUNSETS. Come enjoy summer in Maine at The Waterfall Cottage on LONG POND. We are walking distance to the quaint town of Belgrade Lakes (where the author of the iconic book/movie “On Golden Pond” summered) where you can visit the farmers market or grab some ice cream at Days county store. Our lake is part of a chain of 7 pristine lakes, known for its ideal swimming, boating, canoeing and some if the best fishing in New England.

Our cottage sits next to a waterfall that spills out into the lake and only STEPS away from the quaint Village of Belgrade Lakes. Roll out of bed to grab that cup of coffee/paper at the famed “Days Country store”, walk to the farmers markets on Sunday’s, or a nice stroll to shop or dine at some of our local Maine made shops and restaurants. Belgrade is also home to award wining 5 star golf course, and many hiking and walking trails along the many mountains with in a few miles from cottage.

Our lake home is conveniently located 15 miles from our state capital of Augusta, and 15 miles to Waterville- home of Colby college. Both have all your conveniences that larger cities have (movie theaters, dining, museums, big block stores). The coast of Maine is 50 miles away, great for a day trip to our beaches, whale watching in Rockland, shopping the outlets in Freeport, or flying in and out one of the countries most picturesque cities Of Portland Maine.

About our home: The Waterfall Cottage is our home away from home that has been creating wonderful memories for our our family and our renters for over 20 years. With 2 downstairs bedrooms and 2 spacious sleep lofts, it’s the perfect camp for families or friends who want to experience all Maine has to offer. Whether its gathering at the waterfront to roast marshmallows in the stone fireplace, fishing off the waterfall (the best fishing spot on lake) or taking in the incredible sunsets while sitting in our Adirondack chairs, or falling asleep under the brightest stars listening to the sounds of the loons, there is a little something for everyone.

Our cottage is located at “The Village Camps”, a PRIVATE waterfront community with 6 privately owned cottages established in 1940s and once owned by the Wrigley’s of Wrigley field. Each of the 7 cottages have their own land & private dock. We share 350 feet of additional water frontage on an acre of land including a communal boat slip/ for additional boats, unlimited wood in the wood shed, trash removal service, maintenance of lawns.

Our waterfront has a large Dock with stairs that lead down into sandy shallow bottom with about 3 1/2 to 4 feet of water (when water is high) which is great for kids. We have kayaks and canoes and space to tie up your own boat ( up to 18 feet) or tie up bigger boats to our mooring.

RESERVATIONS: Rental weeks typically rent Monday-Monday in peak season (July-Sept). Three day weekends avail May, June and Oct. Reservations are taken on first come first serve and held with a 50% deposit of the weekly rental. Please see my rates and calendar availability.

CHECK-IN: Check in anytime after 2 pm and CHECK-OUT 10:30 am sharp!! Looking for quiet families who will treat home like their own. Since there is only one full bath, we feel it’s best suited for 6 people, however the home will sleep eight people with 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 additional LOFT space upstairs on each of side of house so their is some privacy.

Waterfall cottage review
Overall excellent. A few minor details: There were a few tiny ants at the kitchen table. Only 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 kitchen trash can liner? No soap or shampoo for the shower? bath towels were sparse.

Host profile image
We have owned their vacation home since 2002. I am originally from Maine (the Augusta area) currently living in Jupiter Fla with husband and 2 children (now 7 and 9)and spend some summer weeks at their home as they can.

Why they chose this property

You will experience summer on the Lake in Maine the way it should be! No need to drive ANYWHERE once you arrive. Sit back, fish, swim, roast marsh mellows and create memories that will last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

Located next to a wonderful waterfall that drowns out any noise, and steps away from the quaint little town of Belgrade Lakes Village, wherethe kids love walking over to'Days Country' store for their evening ice cream or a slice of pizza. Catch an outdoor movie on the Lake too....Parents can grab their morning coffee and paper. Shopping and dining at the Village restaurants are with in a short walk too.
