Lakefront, dog-friendly cottage with screened porch, firepit, WiFi & lake access
Lenas' Lakeside Cabin
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
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.
