Special Secluded Cottage 3 Min Walk to Long Pond; ALL YEAR

Rome, Maine, United States

A wonderful secluded cottage surrounded by trees yet very close to Long Pond, the finest of the Belgrade Lakes, known for its pristine water for swimming, boating and fishing. The third largest of the Belgrade Lakes it is 12 miles long and covers 2,557 acres.br We recently inherited the cottage from my parents, retired academics who picked this beautiful spot because it is quiet, ideal for reading, writing, and relaxing as well as the usual lake activities. We live in New Bedford, Massachusetts, but have had wonderful times at the cottage, enjoying the beauty of central Maine in every season.br The bargain rental rate is because the cottage is not on the lake, just a 3 minute walk away.br The property is part of a private association (Wildwood Estates) that maintains a sandy community swimming beach with a floating dock and swings for the children. A boat dock with kayak/canoe storage is a 3 minute walk from the cottage. The swimming beach is an 8 minute walk along the well-maintained, private dirt road. br One advantage of being near, but not on the lake, and surrounded by beautiful forest is that we are constantly visited by friendly wildlife: birds, chipmunks, the occasional deer, a wandering flock of wild turkeys, etc. And of course we can hear the wonderful sound of the loons in the evenings.br Although rustic looking, this modern well insulated cottage is only 30 years old and can sleep up to 8. There are two upstairs bedrooms, one with a king size bed with a posturepedic mattress, the other with 2 twin size beds. A fold out couch/futon is in the living room, and a futon with mattress is in the front enclosed porch room used in the summer months.br We are 1 hour drive from the Portland, Maine Jetport, 3 hours from Boston, 5 hours from New York, and 5 hours from Quebec, Canada. We are also about 25 minutes from Waterville which has an independent cinema (Railroad Square Cinema) and the award winning Colby College Art Museum. All the amenities and local towns & activities are listed below.brbr**FOR THOSE INTERESTED IN AN OFF-SEASON OR WINTER RENTAL: br In late September-October is the famous fall foliage season. with its magnificent colors. The locals call it 'leaf Peeping. There are some wonderful hiking trails in the immediate area.br In the WINTER there is great cross country skiing nearby with downhill skiing 27 miles away. One of the best down-hill skiing areas in the USA is Sugarloaf, 49 miles north which has 138 trails, the longest being 3.5 miles from summit to base. Then there is skating & ice fishing on Long Pond, a 3 minute walk from the cottage, where you can catch Northern pike, wide-mouth bass, salmon, & trout.br The cottage is fully winterized with baseboard heat and a wood stove. Long term rates are negotiable.brbrPETS: If you wish to bring a pet please email the details (species, age, size, and disposition). The yard is not fenced & is visited by deer, turkeys, etc.br brHere is a comment from a 2 season renter:brI have rented the Rose cottage for the past two summers and it has been delightful. It's peaceful and quiet; the only sounds you hear are tweets from the birds. The kitchen is very well equipped, from lobster pot to rolling pin. Cottage is very well furnished, with comfortable beds and internet connection. And there is a great variety of things to do in the area. --Sally from Florida

Afterglow Cottage on Great Pond

Rome, Maine, United States

This picturesque lake cottage (Afterglow) is literally 'On Golden Pond' of book and movie fame which is actually Great Pond. With 46 miles of shoreline, it is the largest lake in the Belgrade Lakes Chain and is one of the largest bodies of water in the world named 'pond'. The cottage has a rich history from its original owner, acclaimed illustrator and artist, Mary Lane McMillan as the sight of the McMillan School of Fine Arts Vacation School during the 1920s and 1930s.brThe great room offers plenty of space to eat at the picnic table, recline in the La-Z Boy recliners, enjoy the WI-FI network, watch TV or a DVD, read or just relax and enjoy the view of the lake. The two story stone fireplace with insert can provide heat on a chilly evening. At night, it is not unusual to hear the enchanting call of loons on the lake, and we have even seen Ospreys perched in the branches just off the screened in porch.brThe kitchen was fully renovated in 2012 and it also offers cool delicious well water from our private well. The cottage features a WI-FI network, cable TV and DVD plus three sleeping areas with quiet new ceiling fans and a fully screened porch overlooking the beautiful golden sunsets across the cove. You can enjoy delicious grilled meals from the gas range on the deck. The 32' dock with sitting area and mooring plus the use of two kayaks for our guests at no additional cost provides plenty of ways to enjoy the water! The ocean kayak is incredibly stable and is perfect for first time paddlers while the second kayak is also easy for beginners to master. Several islands are just a short paddle away. A mere 10 minute paddle from your dock 'Darkest Africa' as my childhood friends and I used to call it, awaits your exploration. While the name may be testament to the childhood exaggerations of a youthful perspective, it is still a picturesque little stream where you may catch a glimpse of turtles sunning themselves above the lily pads or a Blue Heron fishing for a meal if you are lucky.brAfter spending a week at Afterglow, your memories will be ready to harken you back to the time when you experienced first-hand 'The Way Life Should Be' 'On Golden Pond' in Maine.brbrKeywords: Camp, waterfront, lake, pond, seasonal, lakeside

The use of two single kayaks for our guests at no additional cost provides plenty of ways to enjoy the water! The kayaks are stable and perfect for first time paddlers. Take lunch and picnic on the pond! Several islands are just a short paddle away. A mere 10 minute paddle from your dock darkest africa as I used to call it, awaits your exploration . While the name may be testament to the childhood exaggerations of a youthful perspective, it is still a picturesque little stream where you may catch a glimpse of turtles sunning themselves above the lily pads or a blue heron fishing the shallow water if you are lucky.brAfter a stay at Twin Oaks, your memories will be ready to harken you back to the time when you experienced first-hand The Way Life Should Be On Golden Pond in Maine.

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. brbrThe 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).
