About this cottage rental

Come enjoy family time in Maine at The Waterfall Cottage on LONG POND 2025! We are walking distance to the quaint town of Belgrade Lakes (where the author of the iconic book/movie “On Golden Pond” summered) where you can visit the farmers market or grab some ice cream at Days county store. Our lake is part of a chain of 7 pristine lakes, known for its ideal swimming, boating, canoeing and some if the best fishing in New England. Booking three night minimums during non peak months(May, June, Sept and Oct ), weekly rentals July and August. Monday to Monday.

Our cottage sits next to a waterfall that spills out into the lake and only STEPS away from the quaint Village of Belgrade Lakes. Roll out of bed to grab that cup of coffee/paper at the famed “Days Country store”, walk to the farmers markets on Sunday’s, or a nice stroll to shop or dine at some of our local Maine made shops and restaurants. Belgrade is also home to award wining 5 star golf course, and many hiking and walking trails along the many mountains with in a few miles from cottage.

Our lake home is conveniently located 15 miles from our state capital of Augusta, and 15 miles to Waterville- home of Colby college. Both have all your conveniences that larger cities have (movie theaters, dining, museums, big block stores). The coast of Maine is 50 miles away, great for a day trip to our beaches, whale watching in Rockland, shopping the outlets in Freeport, or flying in and out one of the countries most picturesque cities Of Portland Maine.

About our home: The Waterfall Cottage is our home away from home that has been creating wonderful memories for our our family and our renters for over 20 years. With 2 downstairs bedrooms and 2 spacious sleep lofts, it’s the perfect camp for families or friends who want to experience all Maine has to offer. Whether its gathering at the waterfront to roast marshmallows in the stone fireplace, fishing off the waterfall (the best fishing spot on lake) or taking in the incredible sunsets while sitting in our Adirondack chairs, or falling asleep under the brightest stars listening to the sounds of the loons, there is a little something for everyone.

Our cottage is located at “The Village Camps”, a PRIVATE waterfront community with 6 privately owned cottages established in 1940s and once owned by the Wrigley’s of Wrigley field. Each of the 7 cottages have their own land & private dock. We share 350 feet of additional water frontage on an acre of land including a communal boat slip/ for additional boats, unlimited wood in the wood shed, trash removal service, maintenance of lawns.

Our waterfront has a large Dock with stairs that lead down into sandy shallow bottom with about 3 1/2 to 4 feet of water (when water is high) which is great for kids. We have kayaks and canoes and space to tie up your own boat ( up to 18 feet) or tie up bigger boats to our mooring.

RESERVATIONS: Rental weeks typically rent Monday-Monday in peak season (July-Sept). Three day weekends avail May, June and Oct. Reservations are taken on first come first serve and held with a 50% deposit of the weekly rental. Please see my rates and calendar availability.

CHECK-IN: Check in anytime after 2 pm and CHECK-OUT 10:30 am sharp!! Looking for quiet families who will treat home like their own. Since there is only one full bath, we feel it’s best suited for 6 people, however the home will sleep eight people with 2 bedrooms downstairs and 2 additional LOFT space upstairs on each of side of house so their is some privacy.

We periodically visit Long Pond and a myriad of relatives in Belgrade Lakes. The camps are perfect ! On the lake, Village Inn and Sunset Grill, Days store just a walk away. Been coming to the region for 50+ years and it never gets old.

Rustic and charming, could use some simple interior upgrades - new couch cover, fresher towels and wash cloths. It was a warm weekend and we chose not to use the fans that were dirty and should be cleaned or replaced. We learned after arrival that the grounds to the lake were part of the community property and not private to our camp. Fortunately there were no other camps rented during our stay, otherwise we would have been sharing a fire pit, picnic table and open space.

Best sleep ever next to the waterfall! Beautiful sunsets by the fire pit and an indoor fireplace, too! Really terrific cabin. Water is filtered lake water, so bring jugs for everything but showering. Plenty of gear to enjoy the lake. The host is generous and responsive. We love it here!

Overall excellent. A few minor details: There were a few tiny ants at the kitchen table. Only 1 roll of toilet paper and 1 kitchen trash can liner? No soap or shampoo for the shower? bath towels were sparse.
