Great Pond Sunsets - A Classic Camp: Pet Friendly, Kayaks, Dock

Our 2nd year here and again it didn’t disappoint. The location is perfect for us and we hope to be back soon

Beautiful camp. We had a great time, kayaking and floating.

We had a wonderful week at Rustic Pines. The camp size and layout was perfect for our family of 4 (two kids ages 6 & 3) and dog. The kitchen was nicely stocked with essentials, the living areas were laid out well, beds were comfortable. We really appreciated how many fans there were to keep fresh air moving through the camp! We liked that the camp was close to the water so we could keep an eye on our kids playing on the dock. The water at the dock was shallow, perfect for our kids to swim. The neighbors' yards were close by, but it still felt private because they weren't home often during the week. Our dog also doesn't wander or bark much but the proximity of neighbors could be a problem for more free-roaming or barky dogs. A few complaints: cobwebs and spiders, and woodchips. One giant spider (Spidey) was a permanent fixture above the bathroom door -- she was too quick and I was too scared to remove her. I'm a hardy Mainer and very used to creepy crawlies in old Maine camps, but I recogize that's not everyone's cup of tea. Also the whole yard was covered in a thick blanket of wood chips, which clung to everything, got tracked into the house, and often caused splinters and ouchies for all of us. Despite these two drawbacks, I'm still giving our stay a 5-star rating -- our family had a really nice week and made incredible memories we will remember forever!

Cozy camp just as advertised with a great dock for watching sunsets and jumping off for a swim. Perfect location for exploring the lake in kayaks, too.

Waterfront cabin with water views... literally steps outside the door. The pond was very large and clean. Worthy of bringing a power boat for skiing, etc. Quiet, relaxing. Simple cabin with all the necessities and comforts. All we needed to bring was ourselves, our dog, and groceries. Host was terrific.

Our family of 4 had a wonderful week at the lakefront Summer Camp on Great Pond. The camp is perfectly located and had all the essentials for our stay and the communication with the property owner was timely and clear. I would recommend this camp to anyone looking for a quite vacation in the Belgrade lakes area.

It was the perfect place to get away. I didn't plan on doing day trips because I needed time to unwind and relax and that is exactly what I did. No hustle and bustle. Perfection.

We loved our stay on Great Pond. All you could need in a cabin. Would absolutely recommend!

One thing to note is this host provides beach towels as well as bath towels and lots of homes don’t provide that. It’s such a convenience as those bulky items take up so much space in luggage. Also, the home is outfitted with upscale furniture which adds more of a resort feel as opposed to a basic cabin experience (even the fridge is full size and allows for more options than the smaller efficiency style appliances in more basic cabins that I have stayed in). The host was easy to communicate with and her response time for questions was quicker than expected. Definitely recommend this gem!

Wonderful old Maine Camp that was just what we’d hoped for. The lakefront is amazing, just steps away from the porch. Nice shallow lakefront with amazing views. The location was perfect, beautiful sunsets. The interior is rustic but it was just what was described and just what we wanted.
