The second floor has one private bedroom with a double bed and one large bunk room with two sets of pine bunks, a queen bed and open space. There are two bathrooms (one up, one down).

Relax in this cozy, old world-style, two story cottage situated just 20 feet from water's edge on lovely North Pond with views of surrounding mountains and islands.

Our happiest guests are families using the lake boats and fire pit and enjoying time together. We are close to RT 26 so there will be some road noise.

Cozy cabin minutes away from skiing

We had a fantastic time here during Februrary vacation (myself, my wife, and our 3.5 year-old). Snowshoeing on the lake was beautiful, and it's hard to imagine a more picturesque spot -- in fact, we had the same view that inspired the "Mountain" logo for LL Bean! It was also really nice being <15 minutes away from both Mt. Abram and Bethel. The kitchen was very well-equipped and we were able to cook all our own meals with no trouble.

Adorable cottage near Bethel!

We've been a repeat visitor to this cottage on the pond. It's adorable and the host is great. Love the pond location with canoes/kayaks, hanging on the porch and the firepit. House was very clean! And easy to get to Bethel and Sunday River. Will definitely stay again!

Excellent property on a beautiful lake

My family and I enjoyed a great trip to this property. The waterfront location and lake access were perfect, and having a canoe, kayak, and SUP all available for use made it even better. The house was very well-supplied with other amenities too including books, magazines, games, cooking utensils, etc. We typically over-pack those types of things but didn't need any of it. Away from the property there are several great hikes within a pretty quick drive, and the town of Bethel has some nice shops, restaurants, breweries, and other attractions. It's a great area all-around. The road noise was admittedly a factor - as stated by others - especially because there was some road construction immediately adjacent to the house during our time there. However, that was completely out of anyone's control, and it didn't bother us much once we settled in.

Clean House, good location

This was a nice clean cabin that we rented almost last minute after another owner cancelled. The location is great. Just steps from a good sized pond. We were visited everyday by friendly ducks. As others have said, there is some road noise, especially in the bedroom that faces that direction, but a fan helps to drown out the noise. It's probably not a problem in the winter when the windows are closed. Be prepared to bring linens and towels and some basic supplies like hand soap and paper towels as the owner doesn't provide them.

On short notice this fit the bill!

The family and I were comfortable, we were able to have some great family time. We enjoyed the fire pit, board games and the easy access to the water. The only con was the road noise and construction right in front of the road for two days…but that is completely out of the owners hands.

Cozy and well equipped

Our family of four enjoyed our winter stay. The cottage is cozy and well cared for, with a wood burning stove and a well-stocked kitchen. It’s a short drive into nearby Bethel and convenient to skiing at Sunday River (15-20 minutes). Sharron was responsive and the check in/out process was easy. My only suggestion would be to consider a binder with some information about the house that guests may need - wifi info, directions for wood burning stove, nearby restaurants and grocery stores, etc. We would stay here again.

Peaceful week

My family enjoyed a peaceful and relaxing week at this sweet little lake house. Simplify but comfortably appointed, it was just what we needed. The boating options were terrific for time on the water, and the dock, porch and fire pit area were lovely for lounging and sunset-watching. As others have noted, there is noise from route 26 but no big deal - it was like white noise at most. We enjoyed it immensely.

Just what we needed

This camp was everything we wanted! I would 100% not hesitate to book this adorable camp in the future. The house was clean and beautiful. The sunsets were amazing every night! We played games and sat around the fire. Sitting on the back porch you have such a beautiful view at all times. There is a gigantic rock a little ways out that you can canoe, kayak, or paddle board, (all provided!) to and the island beside the rock has an eagles nest so we got to see some pretty close! The kids loved everything as well. I highly recommend this camp and another great thing is the owner is very informative, kind and super quick at responding to any questions. We will return!!

Perfect base for our fly fishing explorations

We loved the location. Right on the pond so we could hear the loons at night and got to watch a bald eagle during the day. The light that bounces off the pond into the living room was stunning. As mentioned, there is road noise but it comes to an end at night and the pond comes alive. The cabins had everything we needed ( bring your own sheets/ towels) to enjoy a long stay. Kitchen was perfect for cooking and two comfortable sofas for reading and napping. Should we return to the area again, we would elect to stay here.

A hidden gem that was better than expected

The pictures on the website does this place no justice. It’s was so cute and Adorable. The place was absolutely clean and the woodstove was amazing. It was big enough for two families with plenty of room. They had everything you needed and more. We were able to walk and drive on the frozen lake. We skied literally two minutes down the road but they were several other ski resorts within a 30 mile radius. We would absolutely go back in the winter and look forward to renting this place in the summer. I highly recommend it.

Cozy and quaint

This property was great and very convenient for a ski trip. Very rustic and old school - no TV - which made it nice for the group to unplug. Once call out is the stairs leading up to the house were very slick and icy given the wintery conditions and we couldn't find salt, so had to purchase that to ensure the group didn't slip.

Nice cottage, setting, and location; just a few things to consider.

The cottage, the setting and the location were all very nice, and we all (two adults and four kids) enjoyed our week there. The cottage is a perfect mix of rustic and homey, and though it’s modest in size, its layout made it easy for the six of us to prepare meals, relax and entertain ourselves without feeling crowded or in each other’s way. As long as casual paddling, swimming and fishing are your speed (which are for us), the pond (feels more like a lake) is ideal - not too big, and not too small. There are some nice canoeing/kayaking destinations that make for nice adventures - including a family of Bald Eagles nesting on one of the islands. We were pleasantly surprised to find out that there were hardly any power boats on the water - 2 or 3 sightings all week. With all the benefits of the cottage, there are a few things that you do need to be aware of. For example, the proximity of Rt. 26, as pointed out in other reviews, is really pretty close to the cottage and lake’s edge, and yes as pointed out in other reviews car and truck noise is present. Rt. 26 isn’t a major highway, but there is fast moving traffic that can be heard and seen from the dock. I was able to ignore the noise after the first day, but my wife had a harder time of it. Also, there are train tracks on the other side of 26, and on at least a few nights during the week freight trains blowing their horns rumbled by at 11:00pm and 3:30am - waking and scaring members of our family. So, if you have light sleepers with you, you should be aware of this. The sleeping arrangements have 4 bunk beds (2 sets of 2) and a full size bed in one large bunk room and separate bedroom on the second floor. Given the “rustic” nature of the cottage, the bunk room isn’t very well isolated from the dish washing noise and conversations downstairs. Again, not a deal-breaker, but something to be aware of when thinking about the fit for your family - for some this will not be an issue, for other with sleep issues, you should be aware. Finally, in the spirit of being aware… there is no dishwasher or laundry on site. We used the laundry facilities at the camp ground on the other side of Rt. 26. Again, just some things to keep in mind when planning. All-and-all, it was very nice stay.

Wonderful week but would not rent this camp again.

The porch was wonderful and it was a relaxing stay. The large rock in the middle of the pond is also wonderful for jumping off of. We had a wonderful week, after two of us spent considerable time cleaning mouse droppings out of the cupboard, washing dishes, cleaning sticky surfaces and changing out a dirty shower curtain. We were also disappointed that the dock is not deep enough to jump off of and the area in front of the camp is not great for swimming because it’s mucky. The fire pit was nice, the sunsets were beautiful and the pond was clean. We adjusted, used kayaks to get to the large rock so the kids could swim out there and read on the lovely porch seat. It was a great week but we would not book this place again. In addition, we are certain we left the key but the owner charged us for not leaving the key.

Perfect place for an escape!

We had a great 5 days at the cottage. It was a perfect size for my family of 4 plus two grandparents. We enjoyed having no TV and played lots of games but we would heave liked the option of Wifi to be able to work on-the-go if needed. The kids enjoyed the canoe and rock island, we enjoyed the porch and the sunset over the pond. There was everything we needed in the way of kitchen items, games and water toys. There is street noise, as they mention, but nothing that we didn't get over very quickly. :) We'd definitely come back!

Relaxation and Restoration

This lakeside cottage gave relaxation and restoration. The cleanliness and ease walking into the cottage for our stay gave us that. Everything we needed was there. The natural surroundings, mountains, water, beautiful animal life is tranquil. The moment we booked the cottage and all the ease of information for our stay was so helpful especially for a first time user of VRBO. Thank you.

Great getaway.

The cottage was adorable with everything needed for a rustic getaway. The lake was great for swimming with the rock island and my husband caught a 5lb bass. He was over the moon! Road noise was noticeable. We loved the surrounding area and had great food and amazing pies from puzzle mountain bakery.

Beautiful and cozy cottage that my family loved!

This is a gorgeous cottage on a beautiful spot. The kids loved jumping off the dock into the warm water and the beach was perfect for launching our kayaks and the canoe. The sunsets across the pond were so beautiful and you can even watch them from inside the living room. The cottage itself was perfection and fully equipped with everything necessary to cook and feel at home. Be prepared for a lot of noise from mac trucks on the road, as they were pretty constant and very loud. This did not take away from the quality of our vacation at all. Also, check to be sure you have cell phone coverage our phones did not work (not a bad thing!). Overall we had a lovely vacation and wished the home was ours!
