About this cottage rental
Welcome to Tilden Cottage where you have it all in a Maine Vacation. The cottage is situated down a private road in the tranquility and seclusion of Tilden Pond. It is also centrally located for day trips to all the mid-coast harbor towns and fishing villages.
Inside The Cottage
Renovated open floor plan with a completely new kitchen with warm maple countertops. You can relax in front of the floor to ceiling stone fireplace and morning coffee is a must on the enormous (30 ft) screened in porch. There are three bedrooms (King, Queen, and a bunk room with 4 twin beds) and 2 full bathrooms as well as a separate family room with a TV and lots of games. We have put pine wood floors throughout the house. You can enjoy a meal or games on the porch or in the dining area.
Outside The Cottage
Get on the water using the canoe, one of the three kayaks, or the standup paddle board
Gas Grill
Adirondack chairs to enjoy the view
Dock and Swim float
Fire pit for lots of s’mores
Loon songs and of course a spectacular view of the Milky Way!
The Pond
Tilden Pond is a 400 acre lake with no public boat access. Even though 10 horse power boats are allowed on the pond it is a very rare sight leaving only the quiet hush of kayaks, canoes, stand up paddle boards and the like.
The Surrounding
Tilden Cottage is just 15 minutes from lovely Belfast and 25 minutes to Camden “The Jewel of Maine”. These as well as many other close quaint New England villages on the waterfront offer shopping, dining, local fairs, festivals, and farmers markets and spectacular views of the Atlantic. You can even enjoyed a ferry ride out to an island and picnic next to a light house!
If you can tear yourself away from the peace and quiet of the pond, the location is ideal for exploring the whole mid-coast region. There are tons of outdoor activities: hiking in Camden Hills State Park (15 mins), is a treasure, with spectacular views of the Penobscot Bay, Acadia National Park (1 hour 30 min), biking on local scenic roads, sailing and exploring Penobscot Bay.

Beautiful home on a peaceful lake. Very comfortable accommodations with a well stocked kitchen. We stayed here during the winter and the fireplace was the perfect end to our chilly daytime adventures. The sunsets are absolutely gorgeous. There is a short section of dirt road that will jiggle your innards but going slow will get you through it. The bumps in the road lead to a beautiful home. We would definitely consider staying there again.

Loved everything about our stay.
So much room and we loved sitting around the fireplace putting together puzzles.
The sunsets were amazing as well.
Everything was just as promised and communication was impeccable.
Would have loved to stay longer

Tilden Cottage is a very special place. This lovely home is comfortable, tastefully decorated, and furnished with everything you need away from your home. It is located in a private area on Tilden Pond. You can sit out on the dock, listen to the loons, spot other wildlife, and view the most stunning sunsets ever. It is one of the most beautiful and peaceful places on Earth. The location is perfect because you can venture off for easy day trips in all directions going to Acadia National Park, Camden, Belfast, and Pemaquid, or you can just stay there and have a great time. Deborah, the owner is very responsive and helpful with directions or anything you need. Youngs Lobster Pound in Belfast has great food and service. They provide take out or you can eat outside. There are other great restaurants and shops in Belfast and Camden. This is truly an exceptional property and place!
