About this cottage rental

Come enjoy family time in Maine at The Waterfall Cottage on LONG POND! Our cottage is walking distance to the quaint town of Belgrade Lakes (where the author of the iconic book/movie “On Golden Pond” summered), where you can visit the farmers market or grab some ice cream at Days Country store. Long Pond is part of a chain of 7 pristine lakes, known for its ideal swimming, boating, canoeing and some if the best fishing in New England. We accept three night minimums only during non peak months May, June & Sept, Oct. Our weekly are Monday-Monday during peak months July and August.

The Waterfall cottage is located next to a waterfall on one side of our home which is the spillway for great pond into long pond (our lake). This spot makes it the best fishing spot on the lake. We are also only STEPS away from the quaint village of Belgrade Lakes, so roll out of bed to grab that cup of coffee & paper at the famed “Days Country store”, or walk to the farmers markets on Sunday’s, or a nice stroll to our shops and dine at some of our local Maine restaurants. Belgrade is also home to award wining 5 star golf course, and many hiking and walking trails along the many mountains with in a few miles from cottage.

Our lake home is conveniently located 15 miles from our state capital of Augusta, and 15 miles to Waterville- home of Colby college. Both have all your conveniences that larger cities have (movie theaters, dining, museums, big block stores). The coast of Maine is 50 miles away, great for a day trip to our beaches, whale watching in Rockland, shopping the outlets in Freeport, or flying in and out one of the countries most picturesque cities Of Portland Maine.

About our home: The Waterfall Cottage is our home away from home that has been creating wonderful memories for our our family and our renters for over 20 years. With 2 downstairs bedrooms and 2 spacious sleep lofts, it’s the perfect camp for families or friends who want to experience all Maine has to offer. Whether its gathering at the waterfront to roast marshmallows in the stone fireplace, fishing off the waterfall (the best fishing spot on lake) or taking in the incredible sunsets while sitting in our Adirondack chairs, or falling asleep under the brightest stars listening to the sounds of the loons, there is a little something for everyone.

The cottage is located at “The Village Camps”, a PRIVATE waterfront community with 6 privately owned cottages established in 1940s and once owned by the Wrigley’s of Wrigley field. Each of the 7 cottages have their own land & private dock. We share 350 feet of additional water frontage on an acre of land including a communal boat slip/ for additional boats, unlimited wood in the wood shed, trash removal service, maintenance of lawns.

Our waterfront has a large Dock with stairs that lead down into sandy shallow bottom with about 3 1/2 to 4 feet of water (when water is high) which is great for kids. We have kayaks and canoes and space to tie up your own boat ( up to 18 feet) or tie up bigger boats to our mooring.

RESERVATIONS: Rental weeks typically rent Monday-Monday in peak season (July-Sept). Three day weekends avail May, June and Oct. Reservations are taken on first come first serve and held with a 50% deposit of the weekly rental. Please see my rates and calendar availability.

CHECK-IN: Check in anytime after 2 pm and CHECK-OUT 10:30 am sharp!! Looking for quiet families who will treat home like their own. Since there is only one full bath, we feel it’s best suited for 6 people, however the home will sleep eight people with 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 additional LOFT space upstairs on each of side of house so their is some privacy.

We can't say enough positive things about our stay at The Waterfall Cottage. Everything was exactly as described in the listing and communication with the host was superior. The cabin is well-appointed with everything you could possibly need, and then some. Day's charming country store being steps away is a real bonus! We loved everything about our stay, and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you, Zinke family, for sharing your little slice of lakeside heaven with us!

We had a great time together at the cabin. The cabin location was an easy drive to Colby College for our daughter's graduation. It was rustic (as advertised) and a relaxed easy space to spend time. Because of weather, we did not utilize the water and yard space and activities, but that is not a negative about the property. Great fun!

We had a terrific stay at Waterfall cottage. The views were spectacular and the cottage was cozy, clean, and well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the fires in the beautiful fireplace on the cool October nights. This place is very dog friendly and we were comfortable with them in the house and in the yard. Having great hiking trails just 2 minutes away was a huge plus for us. We also were thrilled to be within walking distance of downtown and the Day's Store, and just a 5 minute drive to a great organic farm and farm stand (Winterberry Farm).The owners were super and very responsive. My wife (now my wife) and I had come to Belgrade to elope and the owners left an unexpected and beautiful wedding gift for us on the table, which touched us both very much.
