Luxury Family Home / Retreat Center on Great Pond

Matt stepped in and saved the day at the last minute to ensure another successful trip to Maine for our group. The house is absolutely stunning and has just about everything you could possibly need to host a large group.

My husband and I stayed over New Year’s and celebrated with my step-daughter, her husband and the two grandkids, ages 2 and 1. It was a perfect laid out space for us, plenty of room for our small group…the key being for us, the bedrooms/sleeping areas are well laid out…separate sleeping spaces so the grandkids could nap while the adults played pool, chatted in the kitchen and relaxed.The beds are super comfortable with luxurious linens. The kitchen is well stocked with plenty of cooking pots and pans, dishes and basic spices. It truly is the center of the home and such a great place to hang out with the family. If we didn’t own a seasonal camp in Rome on great Pond, we would definitely rent it in the summer!!!Highly recommend!

Great communication with host, property and house was perfect for what we needed. Check in and check out were super easy.

This gorgeous home offered what was reminiscent of times as a youth spending summers in Maine. A very tastefully furnished home that has it all. We came together as multigenerational gathering for two weeks — ages 90 to 17. Everyone had a space to call their own whether on the screened-in porch reading, sitting on the dock with morning coffee or cocktails at sunset, the Rumpus room playing pool, working out in the fully equipped gym, office space for those unable to fully disconnect from their businesses, hours and hours of card games at the dining room table. The home was outfitted to keep everyone thoroughly engaged. The canoe, kayaks, paddle boards, smores at the fire pit at night, listening to the unmistakeable Maine sounds of loons (a mama and three baby loonets riding around on mama’s back) kept close by nightly, mourning doves cooing — all memories cherished. All the kitchen fixings for large gatherings you could ask for. Definite perks — very comfortable beds and numerous bathrooms, views from every bedroom. Waterville and Augusta within a half hour for stores if needed to stock up supplies. Christy’s at the nearby Irving gas station has everything if you don’t want to drive too far. Best customer service I’ve experienced in a long time. Manager carried out my bags the times I was there. I cannot express how much this stay far surpassed what I was hoping for. Thank you Matt and Carissa.

This was our first experience of VRBO and we were very happy across the board.

Another fantastic stay at this beautiful home! This is our second football weekend here and we just wish we have discovered this gem earlier! It’s only 20 minutes from Colby and is a great home for groups of family and friends! Couldn’t recommend it more!

This home is beautiful and amazing! Located close to Colby. Even though it was late Sept/early October we so enjoyed the lake with the kayaks and paddle boards. We even swam! The kitchen, in particular, was so well equipped! The bedding was fabulous and there was plenty of room to work or relax.

Belgrade lake is crystal clear, clean and massive. The area is beautiful, remote, wooded and secluded. The house has a huge dock with paddle boards and kayaks and lifejackets and towels provided. The kids were in the water ALL DAY playing. The house was perfectly set up for our needs. There's a downstairs master for my parents. And an upstairs master for us, along with 2 other upstairs bedrooms. Then my sister's family took the apartment above the garage (with six bunk beds, a TV area, kitchen, office and two bathrooms). We didn't even use the bedroom in the basement, but the kids did love playing with the games down there, including the pool table, and all the adults enjoyed the personal gym. There's even table tennis in the garage.

Gorgeous house with a lovely dock. Quiet neighborhood and lovely sunsets. Screened in porch was enjoyed as well. Huge kitchen with ice maker, large fridge and well supplied in terms of dishes. Game room was a big hit with grandkids!

The house was beautiful and had a lot of options from watercraft to the pool table. Having ensuite bathrooms was great for a large extended family group.

house has a beautiful setting and great layout. property well equipped and spacious. property could use a bit of TLC in terms of upkeep and cleanliness but overall a great experience
