Hike, bike, antique, explore, leaf peep in the autumn, it is truly magical. Semi private Waterville Country Club is 4 miles away, an undiscovered jewel. In the winter there is snowshoeing, cross country skiing on the lake and of course you can set up your own ice fishing shelter. World class downhill skiing mountains are less than 90 minutes away.

Great spot

This place in the perfect spot on Messalonskee. Easy access to the lake, as well as Great Pond. The accomdations were clean and had everythong we needed to make a hearty dinner after two cold long days of ice fishing.

Cozy sweet place to enjoy the lake

We needed a place to stay for a few days before our son’s wedding and we love being by the water. This sweet little apartment put us super close to the waters edge where we could watch every facet of the changing lake. It was wonderful to go right out the door and paddle. Also enjoyed the outdoor seating, picnic table and fire pit. The place was well kept and well supplied.

Weekend Getaway

We arrived on Friday evening with a warm welcome from the owners and a warning about for my 4yo son about a trench near my entrance from the recent demolition of a house next door. The apartment was very clean and easy to find everything. I would mention if you are on the shorter side or travel with small children, bring a stool. The bed was a little hard, but I added the foam topper and it was a little bit better. Access to the water is a little rough and blocked by trees. You can always jump off dock, but there isn't a ladder. So be cautious and wear watershoes. Recommendations to add to the room, maybe add a binder for guests with restaurant recommendations, places to visit, a place for guests to leave other guests a message. Another great moment for my son was having the tree cutters come to remove a gigantic pine tree.

Snow Pond holiday weekend getaway

Very nicely furnished and decorated lower level apartment right on the water. We chose it primarily due to its location near family we were visiting. As we were familiar with other lake properties in the area owned by family members I inquired before our arrival about the water source. It is lake water coming into the apartment which renters should be aware of. They do provide bottled water but there could have been clearer signage in the residence regarding this. Also, for us, the use of strong smelling detergent and/or fabric softener on the sheets and towels was overpowering. If we were to stay again I would request the use of unscented laundry products or bring my own sheets and towels. Overall though, it was one of the nicest vrbo properties we have rented and we haved used a lot over the years. I would highly recommend it to others.
