About this property

Take advantage of our new lower June, September, and October rates and shorter minimum stays, allowing you to check in on Sunday or Monday and beat the Sat traffic into Maine. It's the perfect time to visit the lake; fewer boats, more wildlife, nice temps, and much more affordable than summer. Deep clear water, beautiful views and located at the end of a long and undeveloped Maine gravel road, perfect for kayaking, swimming, lake relaxing and dog walking in peace and quiet! We are located on the south portion of this famous lake, and you can take in one of the nicest views on the lake from our large enclosed screen porch just 30 feet from the shore. This cottage features a master bedroom with attached half-bath, and a lakeside bedroom with a king bed that can be converted to two twin beds. We are full time professional hosts; every aspect of this cottage has been designed and built by us to create a unique look and feel that is not easy to find. We also allow most breeds of dogs for a modest fee. This custom designed cottage offers all the privacy and amenities you are looking for in a vacation rental. Ideal for a couple or small family looking for a relaxing retreat to kayak, fish or boat. We offer a tastefully appointed cottage with WiFi, swim platform, your own large, floating dock to accommodate boats up to 18ft and ensure that if water levels rise, the dock is still there for you. There are many miles of quiet tranquil roads to walk your pet or jog without driving anywhere. It is very "off the grid". Long Pond is six and 1/2 miles long and offers nearly 3,000 acres of beautiful Maine waters with islands, pines, loons and bald eagles. More than enough for a great week of kayaking, boating or whatever your summer interests are. Long Pond is a deep, clear lake and great for swimming and fishing. Of all the Belgrade Lakes, Long Pond is the least developed and most pristine. Drive or go by boat to the town of Belgrade Lakes for dinner or ice cream. A classic summer vacation area, Long Pond and the Belgrade Lakes area are sure to please. Approximately 3 hours from Boston.

Best Cabin in Maine!

We are a retired couple in our early 70's and have stayed at this cabin every year for the last 12 years. You can't beat the remote location and wonderful view. The cabin is straight out of an LL Bean ad, and about as close to the water as you can get. We normally come in spring and fall to kayak and enjoy the view from the awesome screen deck. Scott is a great host and always responds immediately.

Long Pond, Maine

So peaceful, quiet, serene. Beautiful spot. Gas stove not working, screen door needs fixing, could use new sheets and new kitchen sink stopper.

Sunrise Dock

The house and property were great for our family of five with three young kids. There is another house next door but you still feel secluded. The house was well appointed with all the amenities. The lake was clear and warm by our standards and swimming was a delight. We paddle-boarded across to the small inhabited island for fun. We could have had a rental motor boat delivered right to the dock but opted for paddles. Best of all, the dock is perfectly situated to catch early morning sunrises.

Awesome

The cottage is very cozy and enough room for a family of five. Kids had fun fishing and swimming off the dock. View of Long Pond from porch is amazing. Great place for family memories.

Maine Getaway

We had a wonderful week. The cabin is centrally located for day trips and yet remote and peaceful. The screened in porch was perfect for morning coffee. We'd be happy to stay again.

About the host

Hosted by Property Owner

Our favorite lake in the Belgrade Lakes chain is Long Pond. When we had the opportunity to purchase this property in 2012 we could not resist! After a full year of extensive re-design and renovation we are pleased to offer this wonderful cottage for rent.

Why they chose this property

This lake is our absolute favorite in the Belgrade Lakes chain for it's pristine look and feel. Bald Eagles, the largest local population of Loons you will find anywhere, and beautiful stretches of undeveloped shoreline are the hallmark of this beautiful pond.

What makes this property unique

Quiet and seclusion, we are at the end of a very long and beautiful country road, perfect for jogging and walking your dog. Our end of the lake also boasts great stretches of undeveloped shoreline that is a pleasure to boat or kayak. When you get to our property you are at the end of the road, there is no busy road running behind us. The lake in front of our cottage is perfect for swimming. There are no weeds, some gravel, and a gently sloping depth. You have your own large floating dock and your own swim platform as well. Plenty of parking for boat trailers with room to turn around is a plus.
