Stay over graduation weekend

The home was lovely and cozy. The location was easy to find and entry, even late at night, in our case, was very straightforward. There were so many nice, welcoming touches that we appreciated and wished we could have spent more time there! If it was possible to give it a perfect rating, we would! Thank you again for a wonderful stay!

So beautiful!

This cottage was so immaculate and beautifully decorated. The owner thought of everything a guest may need and supplies were plentiful. It looks brand new and is cozy and comfortable. We loved staying here as it was close to Augusta and Gardiner. The owner was a pleasure to deal with and really went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed to make our stay perfect. I highly recommend this property!

Peaceful and relaxing getaway

We had a lovely stay here. This is a small but comfortable cabin. It has comfortable furnishings and an efficient kitchen for prepping meals. It has a spacious back yard with a grill and plenty of patio furniture. We loved the outdoor shower! Front porch has a beautiful view with chairs. Our favorite part of this property was the dock and canoes! We spent hours on the lake It was very peaceful and serene. If you are looking for a getaway from a busy life, this is a great escape without a hefty price tag. We will definitely be returning!
Amazing sunsets!

A true gem.

This is a lovely, clean and comfortable property. Everything we could possibly need- from can opener to canoe was provided. The private dock was the perfect spot to see baby loons paddle by. The “pond” was bigger than we expected and so quiet. The hosts deserve a huge “well done” for what they have created. We can’t wait to return!

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cottage on Dam Pond. Everything went very smoothly checking in. Our host, Mark answered any questions we had and was readily available. We had not been to Augusta before and enjoyed Maine Cabin Masters, Fort Western and Cushnoc Brewing. C and J Warner Cicero, NY Thank you for your lovely cottage and all the amenities.

We had the most delightful stay at the cottage. Before check in our host reached out to give us some recommendations and let us know we could check in early. They stayed in communication throughout our stay as well and it was really nice to build rapport with lifelong Mainers. The cottage had everything we needed in the kitchen, bath and living areas. Bonus, there were little hand written notes and maps sharing extra instructions and tidbits. We spent a lot of time on the pond and the boating options were plentiful. We met the loons (from a respectful distance) and took in sunrises and sunsets from the dock. We’re only sad we couldn’t stay longer. We look forward to renting again.

Maine retreat near Augusta

This is a very new house across the road from the dock on the pond. It was very quiet with just a bit of traffic on the road in the morning and evening. Very well equipped and spotless. Everything was provided for Kayak/Canoe journeys on the pond.Also, it is only 10-15 minutes from downtown Augusta which made it very convenient for us. We enjoyed our stay and would book this house again.

Repeat Customer

This was our 2nd stay at this property. That says a lot! The cabin is wonderful. The "pond" is lovely (I call it a lake). The area is so quiet. The location is very non-commercial, however, we were 15 minutes away from restaurants, a major grocery store and gas. It was the perfect place for us to hang out, canoe (and watch mama, papa and baby loon) and chill on the dock. But, the coast is an easy hour drive. There are many great hikes in the Belgrade Lakes region. There's even an amazing Antique Mall in Fairfield if you have a rainy day. Couldn't be happier and hope to return. PS, check in couldn't be easier and the kitchen had everything (and more) than we needed. PSS, everything was very clean too!

POOR Description

I went to the site and it was not as described. The house was very close to a busy road, the lake was across the street, and the house had a cigarette smell. I called the people who owned it and they said there was no smoking in the house. I went to a hotel in Augusta.

Incredible Maine experience!

Upon arrival was ecstatic with the way the property looked from the outside! It only got better as we entered the home. Clean, up to date, roomy and comfortable! We took a walk over to the pond and the only statement made was "WOW!". We had a great time using the all of the water toys and even took a dip in the pond. Spent plenty of time just relaxing there and enjoying the serenity. This home is incredible! I look forward to telling others about it! Our host was also exceptionally graceful as he contacted us to let us know where everything was and that we could check in early if we arrived ahead of schedule. Oh, and I cant forget about the super cool and handy outside bath! I want to say thanks for an incredible stay and opportunity to provide my Son and his 2 friends an incredible experience and memories they will cherish!
