About this cottage rental

Plan your escape to this private lakeside cottage nestled in the quietness of North Bay on Great Pond, accessed by a private road shared by only two other properties. This beautiful property can be enjoyed May through October. A private dock , covered porch and platform on the water's edge are just a few of the amenities unique to this property. The three bedroom/one full-bath cottage welcomes up to five guests and includes all linens, towels etc. The cottage is fully stocked with dishes, cookware, gas grill, and more.

The property is sure to provide you with a comfortable stay in the Belgrade Lakes Region. It is a fabulous spot that offers 3 great walking/biking loops right from your driveway. Loops include Golden Pond Lane (approx. 1.25-mile loop), Crane Lane (approx. 1-mile loop), or you can try the extended loop which takes you down Hathaway Lane, through Crystal Springs, and back to Jamaica Point (approx. 5-mile loop). Less than 10 minutes away there are several hiking trails with amazing views: Mt. Phillip, French's Mountain, The Mountain, and other well-maintained trails in the Kennebec Highlands.

Great swimming and fishing. Many bass fishermen come to Great Pond for the big catch! The largest lake in the chain of lakes, Great Pond is a remarkable lake that offers great experiences. Great Pond has hosted several Major League Fishing events that have been featured in Maine Fishing and Outdoor Magazine.

Belgrade Lakes has become a seasonal hub of great food and drink, all in the midst of supporting local music! The Village Inn and Tavern offers live music on Sunday and Wednesday evenings. It can be accessed by car or, better yet, boat across and enjoy the evening on the stream. Day's Store hosts wine tasting and open mic on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer. Sunset Grille is a casual restaurant/bar dining experience that hosts live music every Monday evening. The Belgrade Lakes Farmer’s Market is each Sunday from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm in the Village (Memorial Day through Labor Day). You'll also want to check out the fine bakeries, artisan shops, gift shops, and more in the heart of Belgrade Lakes. Unlike other lakes in the Belgrades, Great Pond offers amenities which are accessible by water: boat rentals, restaurants, convenience store, post office, marine, gasoline, and more!

For those who golf, the Belgrade Lakes Golf Club is an award-winning course that has garnered numerous awards. This prestigious golf club is just a short drive away. Not a golfer? Stop into the golf club for lunch and take in the panoramic views of both Great Pond and Long Pond! Other nearby attractions include Pine Tree Camp for children with physical disabilities and the Travis Mills Foundation, a lakeside retreat for post- 9/11 veterans who have been injured in active duty or as a result of their service to our nation. The Travis Mills Foundation hosts several open houses throughout the year, when they open their doors to the public to tour the grand facility.

Worried about a rainy day at the lake? The covered porch is a great opportunity to get outdoors while staying dry; it's also the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail. The cottage is less than 25 minutes to shopping in Waterville or Augusta. A variety of movie theatres are nearby, which offer new blockbuster films (Flagship Cinema) and classics (Railroad Square Cinema).

Unfortunately, we are unable to accept pets. We ask that you DO NOT have overnight guests, aside from renters. Parking allows for only 2-3 vehicles as 1 parking spot is reserved for owner access to the lake. We look forward to sharing our cottage with you.

We were fishing and had room to park our bass boat and trailer and turn it around in the driveway. Nice dock to tie up to. House was great with everything that we needed. Nice front porch facing the lake and lower deck for relaxing with nice view of the lake. Quite location and less busy place on the lake in North Bay. June fishing was good. No air conditioning but house is shaded in the woods so probably not a problem unless weather is very hot. Windows open for good air flow. Loved our stay and will go back.
