We had the most magical time at Brent and Sarah’s house for the second year in a row and already looking forward to next year. It is peaceful, lovely, accessible, and charming. I can’t say enough good things.

Very nice area and property. Unfortunately we had to cut our vacation short due to an emergency back home.

Awesome!

Brent was a great host. Evwrything was simple and clearly layed out for my buddy and us to enjoy

Everything met or exceeded our expectations. Could have provided better directions to find the place.

We had a wonderful stay at Brent and Sarah's lake house on Great Pond. Watching the sunsets from the dock and campfire area are always beautiful and relaxing. We have stayed here several times over the last few years. We like that the house is so close to the lake, with nice big windows for a great view. Open floorplan.

My husband, twin 4.5 year old daughters, and our seven year old pup were fortunate enough to stay at Brent and Sarah’s Loons Nest cottage for two incredible weeks and cannot recommend it enough. The cottage itself is lovely; the listing pictures do not do it justice. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room area is beautiful with bright skylights and fabulous views of the dock and lake. The dock and steps down to the lake were perfectly situated for my family - with the recommended water shoes we could all easily and comfortably get into the clear, warm (while we were there) water for swimming, floating, kayaking, etc. The back porch, picnic table, and fire pit were wonderful. Having the laundry room right on the first floor was very helpful and the downstairs bedroom is so serene. The upstairs bedrooms were also great and comfortable and we very appreciated having fans in the second bedroom, and window unit ac in the primary bedroom. Both bathrooms were good, the downstairs stall shower was key for washing off after the lake and really nice to have that laundry right next to the shower to toss in wet bathing suits and towels. We were in the lake at least twice a day for all but one day during our stay when it was raining. While staying here we saw three eagles flying around together, many loons, shooting stars, went to an amazing state fair, participated in a loon calling contest, went to the town’s annual bean hole supper, and just generally reveled in the wonder that is the lake, town, and surrounding areas. Brent and Sarah could not have been nicer. They were very helpful whenever we had a question and just generally good people. Lastly, every single night there we saw the most amazing sunsets we had ever seen until the next night. We completely fell in love with Great Pond, the Belgrade lakes region, and will be back again and again.

We wanted a place in my husbands home state that would satisfy this Florida family….we got lucky with the Florida weather upon arrival, but the place was perfect….spacious enough for 7 to live comfortably, the lake view is unbelievable, shallow rocky water for quite a bit out which fave is peace of mind for our kids and dogs while swimming, and a low traffic lake, and did I mention very attentive owners who understood our urgency about WiFi and had the issue fixed immediately so that we could find work life balance when necessary! Great vacation, if possible we will be back next year!

Expected a rustic camp that is common on the lake but what we found was a wonderfully up-to-date cabin with all the amenities one could hope for. Directly on the water with great sunset views and ample room on the dock for a boat. Wi-fi and cable TV worked flawlessly. All in all we couldn't have asked for a better vacation spot.

We loved our stay, want to stay there again next year

Upon arrival we were notified that one of the 2 toilets wasn't working. This was not the owner's fault and they did everything they could (especially with the labor shortage) to get a plumber there and communicate proactively. So kudos on that! Pros of the property - water clarity is beautiful, house is big and location on Hatch Cove is really nice. Great for walking and for kids to bike. Loved listening to the loons and paddling around the lake. For renters with a boat, great mooring access. Easy trash (many rentals do not have trash pickup). Dog allowed, which we appreciated. Cons of the property - furniture and beds need updating, house is very tired (cracked tiles and rusty radiators). The water is very low in the lake and so getting into the water is quite difficult (water shoes are a MUST). The owners roped off the only place to safely and comfortably launch a kayak or paddle board. The dock pictured is large but the actual dock is a 3' wide metal dock only that 3 of our 4 people fell off while there. There are very narrow steps down into the lake that are not kid friendly. There also were not enough seats for everyone to be outside, but thankfully we brought our own. The kitchen had 6 forks, so we mostly used plastic. We own our own VRBO rental and so I appreciate all the work that goes into maintaining a property, especially in a summer when help is really hard to find. If a visitor doesn't care about these things I mentioned, the house will be just fine. We just had higher expectations. Little things like decent towels and enough forks go a long way when other things go wrong. With just a few updates and comforts, this house could be really GREAT.

It’s a beautiful spot. Great pond is very nice and our family really enjoyed our get away, it was hard to leave! Sarah and Brent were very responsive with any questions or requests. and the property was exactly as advertised. Great weather was a plus! Look forward to the opportunity to rent again next year!

Communication was very efficient and the cabin and location were as advertised. Questions were all addressed promptly and accurately and our stay was absolutely lovely.

We were happy to have this comfortable home for our return vacation to Great Pond. The house was spacious and had plenty of room even when we were at full capacity. It was lovely to be right on the water for the spectacular sunsets. I would caution those who travel with dogs that the neighbors are nearby and you have to keep your dogs close and quiet. That did not diminish our enjoyment of this beautiful spot on idyllic Great Pond!

The things we enjoyed most were the sunsets, the spacious kitchen and our campfires. Amenity wise, the house had everything we needed; however, the water pressure in the kitchen sink was very weak. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. Lake views from the family room were glorious. There was not a lot of space for the kids to run around outside of the house. My family has been coming to Great Pond for 40+ years and this is the first time we stayed on the Eastern side of the lake. The water tends to get a little more choppy on this side of the lake. We rented a boat, followed the house rules, and used the mooring; however, we needed a way to get from the dock to the mooring without getting wet... unfortunately, we didn’t plan ahead for that. Overall, we had a very nice stay.

The pictures do not do this cabin justice. Great location with all day sun and the cabin is very spacious. We have been coming to Great Pond for over 40 years and this is probably the best cabin ever. I hope it's available next year.

It was like having our own house at the lake. It had all the amenities needed. The view of the lake was amazing from the house and just steps away. We have three teenage boys who had a blast. Tubing, fishing, boating, swimming, visiting town, camp fires, relaxing, and great memories with Friends and Family.

Comfortable and roomy for a big group. The lake is beautiful and not too busy. Bring Floating toys and water shoes. It is helpful to have boat/ canoe to explore. Extra pantry items are supplied which is great, so you don’t have to pack foil and dish soap, things like that.

This was our 30th year in Belgrade Lakes, and our first time on Great Pond. We spent two weeks here in July and are so happy this was the camp we picked. Great layout, dog friendly, comfy beds and beautiful lake & mountain views. Perfect location to see spectacular sunsets right from the camp or on the dock. And the owners were extremely responsive and a pleasure to work with. It was a perfect two weeks!

Property was very clean! The living room and kitchen were really comfortable and had great views of the lake. The lake access was right out front and the water clean and warm. We rented kayaks from Belgrade kayak rental also bought some tubes from Walmart as the lake is very shallow and the kids had fun floating in the tubes to deeper water. Great weekend get away.

Beautiful house! We enjoyed the stay and can’t wait to come back!

We had a great experience. Everything was clean, spacious, and comfortable. Swimming area was rocky so bring swim shoes but the water was beautiful and refreshing. Would stay here again without question.
