The Retreat at Little Pond
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Retreat to the scenic shores of Little Pond at this two-bedroom Sanford home, a lakefront property with a lovely deck, and a wonderful location for hiking, snowshoeing, or lounging on nearby ocean beaches.
This cheerful red home sits on 100 feet of lakefront on the eastern banks of Little Pond, offering a private pier for kayakers. Take morning strolls to explore the hiking trails in the 600-acre Fenderson Wildlife Commons, spend an afternoon or two antiquing in downtown Wells nine miles east, or take an 11-mile drive to sunbathe and swim in the ocean at Ogunquit Beach, Crescent Beach, or Footbridge Beach.
An ideal escape for summer vacationers or fall foliage enthusiasts, this home offers casual comfort with views of the lake and forest. Begin each morning with homemade pancakes in the full kitchen (with a dishwasher) and six-person dining space, use the free WiFi to check the day's weather report.
Spend the day paddling Little Pond in your kayak and retreating to the deck to read, play board games, or share an al fresco lunch. Watch a spectacular sunset over the lake before moving indoors to enjoy the TV and DVD player. (Please note that the two floors of this home are connected by a narrow spiral staircase, but that baby gates are provided for your peace of mind.)

The place was great. The house was well stocked and very clean. There are great sunset views over the water.

This is a nice cabin home in a great area. We had 20 minutes ride to everywhere we were going. The pond is lovely. Beds comfortable, well stocked home, bonus to have a washer/dryer and overall really good. There is a spiral staircase to the downstairs bedroom and living room. Super tight quarters on that staircase. Other than that, solidly good and easy to book and manage.

6 / 10Average·Jul 2024
This was a nice camp on the pond. We had everything we needed. It was close to things to do. The air conditioning worked well during the 90 degree humid days. The deck with the patio set was very nice to enjoyed our morning coffee and afternoon beverages. We enjoyed the dock ramp and floating around the pond on floats.
One big annoyance while we stayed there...This is advertised as a quiet place. It is noted "this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected" It would be quiet if the neighbor’s children did not yell all day long. Their house is in very close proximity to this camp. They knew no other volume. One day, one of them rode up and down and up and down the street in front of the camp on a mini dirt bike until he finally crashed into the trees beside the camp. Then that noise was done for that day. The air conditioner did a decent job to drown them out if you were inside.
The camp itself was clean, but would have been nice if the bird droppings on the chairs on the lower patio were cleaned. The owner should really do something about the water in the camp. After a day, you find it really smelly. Yes, there is a faucet for drinking, but showering or just washing your face with it was terrible!
It was a nice place, but keep in mind the things we noted if you choose to stay there.
