Beautiful View

My family had a great time at Greg & Cindy's. The cottage sits directly on the pond and the view was incredible. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, kayaking & using the small motor boat for evening fishing and watching the sunset. Waking up to the sunrise over the pond, drinking morning coffee on the dock, it was all magical.

Great bass lake and local hiking!

What a gem for fishing! Caught about 25 bass over several days/ outings plus some good sized perch. Hiked two local peaks (Kineo on Moosehead Lake one day and Borestone Mt. another) with great views of surrounding lakes, valleys and mountains. Went to a local brewery right around the corner on the back road to Monson - we discovered it by accident. Another farm to table pizzeria and produce stand in Dover was recommended to us by the owners the day we arrived and was a great way to start the week (we didn't feel like cooking after our long drive). Beautiful accommodations and view overlooking the lake (15-20' from water's edge). Comfortable bed in master BR with nice lake breezes at night. Loft was great for our kids - they loved the novelty of the ladder! Great memories of Maine made here. Thank you hosts!

Wonderful Cottage at Davis Pond,Maine

We spent a wonderful week in the very nice cottage directly on the lake. The house has its own lake access incl. equipment for kayak trips and boat. Greg and Cindy are very friendly and helpful and always available. The lake is very quiet, ideal for kayak trips where we explored both ponds and saw loons and an eagle with young. The area has much else to offer as well. The Moosehead Area is not far away. We enjoyed our time at Davis Pond very much and can recommend this cottage.

Perfect place to relax and enjoy nature

We had a great time at the lakeside cottage. Greg and Cindy were super helpful and responsive. They gave us a bunch of suggestions of things to do in the area. We spent most of the week swimming and boating in the lake. We saw a loon pair with their baby and a pair of bald eagles right across the lake. If you have time to kill before check in, check out Turning page farm & brewery down the road where you can hang out with the goats and drink beer. I already miss being there.

About the host

Hosted by Greg & Cindy Bashaw

Cindy and I have spent our vacations at Davis Pond for our entire adult lives. We raised our children here. Over the years we have infused every corner of the house and property with features and adornments that give us joy. As you walk in the door and out onto the deck we hope you will feel embraced in the spirit of this special place. Many have told us that they instantly relax upon arriving and we hope you will too!

Why they chose this property

They can't build camps this close to Lake anymore!
We tore old camp down and put up new structure in the old footprint. The camp sits right at the water's edge. The view across the lake from Living room is awesome! My family has owned the camp next door since 1965. I grew up on Davis Pond in the summers and then my children grew up there as well. Now, after ownership of over 20 years with a total of over 54 years on Davis Pond, Cindy & I would like to share this special place with your family. Greg B.

What makes this property unique

This is a place to come and relax ! A quite pond with very little boat traffic, great for paddle boards, Kayaks and small boats. If you're into fast boats, water skiing, jet skis, Davis Pond is not for you.
Loons call almost every night over the Lake , sometimes just outside your window. Eagles soar past and otters can be spotted in lake and stream next door.
