About this cabin rental

Welcome to the Goss Pond House! With many updates made in recent years, the Goss Pond House was designed with fun and excitement in mind. Whether you need a quiet place to reflect and unwind with a dramatic backdrop full of inspiration and awe or are looking foradrenaline-packedcked vacation full of skiing, hiking, or climbing, this house will provide a memorable stay year after year.

The location of the Goss Pond House is ideal; in the winter months, enjoy skiing at nearby Mt Abram and Sunday River Ski Resorts, or use a pair of the skates provided and take a spin out on the frozen pond. During the warmer months there are a variety of trailheads for day hikes within a 10-minute drive of the house. This prime location makes it easy for you to enjoy recreation at your fingertips.

Amenities at the house include a sauna, a large deck overlooking the Goss Pond, and the dramatic cliffs of Egypt Mountain. There is also an outdoor hot tub (fully covered) and a grill making it easy to enjoy the outdoors well into the evening. With a soaring fireplace located in the sunroom, this space is the go-to lounge well into the night. The house is perfect for families with kid-friendly amenities that include; a pack-n-play, two baby monitors, a high chair, a baby gate for the stairs, children's toys, and books. There are plenty of books and games for all ages to enjoy.

Enter the house through the mudroom where you can enjoy organized storage for your skis, boots, and outside layers. On the main level, you will find a living room, full bathroom, and kitchen which is abundantly stocked with all of the supplies, spices, and cookware that you will need. The main level bedroom is furnished with a queen-size bed, a bureau, and a closet.

Upstairs, there is a second full-size bathroom and two bedrooms. One bedroom is arranged with twin bunk beds and a separate twin/trundle bed.. The other bedroom has a twin trundle with a queen and a bureau. This is a cozy and quiet living space for those that like to conk out after a day of fresh air.

On the lower level, there is a second living room area that has access to the sunroom with a stone fireplace, the hot tub, and the sauna. There is a separate space with a 4th sleeping area with a queen bed, though it does not provide egress access. This can be a quiet place to rest or read. This level also has a full bathroom which will give larger families additional privacy.

Recent updates include extending a roof to fully cover the patio and hot tub (enjoy regardless of inclement weather!), relocating sauna controls to provide easier access, the addition of an outdoor picnic table and additional seating for summer months, updates to the bathrooms, and screens in all windows during summer months.

If you are looking for a well-stocked house with a woodsy-Maine allure, this getaway is the one for you.

The property requires major renovations and cleaning crew didn't do a great job at all. All the furniture is very old and in bad condition. leaking roof, railing ready to fall, cobwebs everywhere. Great stay for Halloween only!

Great cabin, beautiful view, reasonably priced for NYE weekend, and it wasn't too far from Sunday River! The only issue is we couldn't use hot water downstairs on the lowest level because the water smelled so bad, so we had to use the shower on the main level. Plus, the sauna wasn't working for us after following the instructions in the book. Aside from those two things, it was great!

We all had a blast. We brought inflatable paddle boards and kayaks! So many turtles! It was very warm in the house as there is no air conditioning so I suggest not turning on the oven or stove to cook.

Wonderful home in a peaceful, gorgeous location. We were all looking for a place to disconnect from the world a recharge. 15 Goss Pond provided us the perfect place to do so. A fantastic home for adults and/or families alike. Hope to be able to enjoy the property again next year.

Everything was great!
Everything was great!
Ice skates were a nice touch. The sauna door needs to be fixed and the ice leading out to the sauna sometimes freezes the door closed. Also, the outside patio with fire pit should be kept shoveled and available for use even in the winter. Other than that great stay, thank you for everything. We had a blast!

Awesome home for our friends weekend. Lots of space in the house, a nice full kitchen, and lots of beds for a large group. Hot tub was wonderful after skiing, however, after using the test strips right when we arrived we did have to add extra chemicals to shock it as it was reading low for chlorine and pH. Had to wait until night 2 to use it but was worth the wait!! Only 20 minutes to Sunday River, easy drive and room for multiple vehicles. Would recommend for an awesome ski weekend with a large group!

There was 7 of us and everyone found something to do! We even made bread :) the hot tub was the hit for everyone & the Sauna & the canoe! There is a small grocery store about 10-15 minutes away and other gas stations around. There's also a hair dryer so no need to lug one around!
