We are regular visitors so we are always happy to return to Green Pond. We love the location since we are on the water (with available kayaks) and near the towns of Oxford, Norway and South Paris where you have access to restaurants, shopping, and micro-breweries. However, Portland and Freeport are only a hour away if you want to expand your visit. The pond is nestled within the trees away from town activity. It is a very relaxing and peaceful place. Two thumbs up for Eagle’s Nest!

Wonderful stay!

The property itself is beautiful and serene! Larry and Carol’s kindness and hospitality made the stay that much more wonderful. Our children were able to make core memories with their cousins swimming in the lake, canoeing, and roasting marshmallows by the fire. Thank you both for a wonderful time!

Cozy cabin in the Maine forest…

BEAUTIFUL QUIET PROPERTY

Our 9 day stay was wonderful. Very secluded and quiet property with a wonder view of the lake and nestled deep in the trees. Inside accommodations were excellent with everything you needed (but no WIFI which was not a bad thing!). Highly recommended and the price was very affordable!

Beautiful place

Just when we thought our wedding was the most perfect thing we experienced, we stayed here for 9 days for our honeymoon. Beautiful place, serene location, privacy and amenities. Everything we wanted. The hosts were very kind and sweet. The proximity to the lake and town (for essentials and food) were great. Far enough to enjoy nature, close enough to buy food and get it home before it got cold. Wouldn't change a thing 😊

Relaxing getaway

This was our second time staying at Eagles Nest. The property is very well kept. Carol and Larry are wonderful hosts. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake. The water was warm and clear. Peaceful just sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. Visited Oxford Casino. Took a ride to the coast if Portland about 50 minutes away. Hope to go back again soon.

A Relaxing Retreat

If you are looking for the perfect place to decompress from everyday life, this retreat is it. Eagles Nest provides a cozy place to relax by providing the right outdoor amenities. They include outdoor seating for eating and chilling under the trees, a fire pit to enjoy the nighttime sounds, a small dock for reading or soaking up the sun, and a sandy pond for swimming and kayaking. In addition, Eagles Nest is near Norway, Freeport, and Portland to shop, dine, and experience the ocean shore. My wife and I loved relaxing at Green Pond during our week-long stay!

Nice quiet getaway.

The place is very beautiful, They had a lot of outdoor activities, such as kayaking, canoeing, fishing access and swimming. Need your own fishing gear. The internet was non existent with no WiFi. Tv channels were non cable - just local. Only other outside entertainment we found was the casino. Property was pleasant with flowers, birds and landscaping. Perfect spot for getting away from the everyday stress. A great place for outdoor activities with pease and quiet.

Best Vacation Get a Way

I looked and looked for a place that was near the water and mountains. and Eagle's Nest didn't disappoint. The apartment was perfect for the two of us. We could see the pound (more of a lake actually) from the dining area window and it was an easy walk down to the water. If you like to take walks there is a path that leads back to the main road where there was a lot of autumn color. The apartment was stocked with everything we needed. Our hosts Carol and Larry gave us excellent ideas as to where to go to for leaf peeping and to see covered bridges. There are also several towns nearby with great hiking paths. I would also recommend Cyndi's dinner in Portland for a great meal and drinks. I wish we didn't leave half way across the country or I would return here every Autumn

A Peaceful and Relaxing Place

My wife and I truly enjoyed our stay at Eagle's Nest (EN) on Green Pond. It is a small, peaceful pond that attracts you to the options of swimming, canoeing, kayaking, and reading by the shore.The unit is cozy and camp-like with all the necessary amenities related to relaxing and cooking. The view of the pond through the woods was a welcome sight each morning. Outside the unit there are plenty of options such as decks, a dock, and a firepit to enjoy the outdoors. We gladly used them all. On rainy days you can travel to nearby towns (e.g., Norway, Bridgeton, Portland, etc.) to shop, browse, and enjoy their local cusine. We especially enjoyed Portland with its historical sites and waterside restaurants. EN is a vacation gem in the woods of Oxford. We will be back.

Peaceful lakeside cabin on Green Pond

Spent a quiet week at Eagle's Nest near Oxford. We (who are both in our 80s) did not take advantage of the canoe or kayak, but both were there had we wanted. Larry and Carol are gracious hosts who live next door but your space is yours and overlooks Larry's pretty garden...his other love. The apartment is (as described) up 16 steps over the garage...something to consider if you have mobility issues. The apartment has a very comfortable queen bed in the separate bedroom and a nice open plan living room/kitchen. Do note that there is no Internet service in the apartment. Most guests (but not us) use their Verizon hotspot connections. There is reliable LTE service and occasional 5G. The Oxford Casino is about a mile away, but we didn't go there. Because Eagles Nest is on a well maintained dirt road (about 1/2 mile in from the paved road) there is very little traffic - mostly cars going in and out from the 10-15 cottages along the Green Pond shoreline.

Peaceful, crystal-clr pond, immaculate small cabin

A little piece of paradise. Beautiful surroundings and site - the pungent smell of the forrest!; crystal-clear very small lake (canoe and paddle boat provided); very clean and well-maintained small cabin with all necessary amenities (remember : very small tv though, just a few TV stations, no wifi; but we knew this ahead so it is not a complain! :) ). Carol and Larry, the owners, live on the same land, in the big house near the cabin, but are very discreet, and the landscaping is well done so you don't feel too close : beautiful tall trees, plants, flowers; two private decks to eat, read or just quietly watch the crystal-clear pond. The owners are really nice and helpful, while very discreet and not imposing. Ask them for advices, for ex. if you have hiking plans in the area - they know all the right directions (some hiking sites are extremely hard to find). 45-60 min. drive to beautiful Portland; 20-30 drive to grocery store. Nearby friendly "Maine Book store" on route 26 where we bought many (used) books. Very quiet county, beautiful little town of Norway nearby, beautiful nature. Very restful vacation! Thank you!

Peaceful and Relaxing

My wife and I had a great time (as always) on Green Pond. The accommodations were just right for the two of us. Everything was provided for cooking (e.g., utensils, cookware, and even a Webber grill) and your comfort (e.g., bed, furniture, and table by the window with a view of the pond). Outside the cabin, there were tables with umbrellas and chairs on a ground-level deck. Another deck was located down by the dock. It made an excellent place for reading, napping, and happy hour. I would be remiss if I didn't mention the fire pit, which we enjoyed every night. The location was also ideal, being close to Portland, Freeport, and the While Mountains. We really enjoyed our stay. We look forward to our next visit.

This is a very quiet, and relaxing place to stay. There are some small boats to row on the water, outside fireplace to enjoy and a patio w/umbrella and table for eating outside overlooking the pond. The camp is spotlessly clean with everything needed for food peparation. You will not find a more peaceful place to enjoy.
