Good place to stay
Everything went well with our stay. Alana was timely and helpful in all our communications. The property was clean and exactly as presented in the listing. My wife is handicapped with mobility issues and found getting around was no problem. The only challenge for us was using the TV, since we are not up on the latest technology. We also aren’t familiar with the immediate area which made it harder for us to find alternatives to our planned outside activities on rainy days.

Relaxing Great Pond Home
This well appointed home was much bigger than expected. After a long drive, I was so impressed to be able to walk in and see that everything was so spacious & beautifully set up. With only two of us on this trip, we didn't even need to use the upper level, except to take a look at the wonderful Loft & 2 Bedrooms up there. Loved having a 1st floor Bedroom & Full Bath! Everything was clean & easy to use. Gorgeous views of the lake with fall foliage was a bonus! I'd love to stay here again. We used to live in the area, so it was like coming home. Great location, close to both Waterville & Augusta, just around the corner from Christy's Convenience Store & gas station, and minutes to Belgrade Lakes shops & restaurants. The Owner was in touch to make sure all was well & answer any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Enjoyed a quick stay at this quiet lake side cottage. We appreciated having the window A/C as the temp was a little warmer than expected for October. Having access to the kayaks was a nice added benefit. It was a comfortable stay for our family of four.

I rented the house on the lake so I could enjoy time with my kids and grandkids from California. There was plenty of room for the six of us and my two little dogs. The location and lake access was great. We were able to bbq, use the kayaks and just relax. Host very responsive to any questions. Would definitely start again.

Modern Cabin w/ Great Entertainment Spaces
Our stay was very comfortable. The cabin was styled and decorated nicely. Very clean with basic supplies and kitchen wares. Outdoor spaces were large and deck was a great addition for entertaining. Alana was very responsive to messages. One of our guests was in a wheel chair and was able to get into the side door and navigate around the first floor, bathroom, and deck easily. Nice quiet street with friendly neighbors. Will definitely book again!

Rental was everything it said it was. It’s very clean, up-to-date, and has a great layout. It’s a very short walk to the shared waterfront, where you can swim, kayak, or hang out on the pleasant common grounds. The other families in the neighborhood were extremely friendly. Dogs were welcomed by all. I would definitely recommend this rental to other families.
