About this property

Best fishing & sunsets-Long Pond. Walking distance to town. Only a few WKS left.

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, Oct) and weekly rentals in July, August-Monday to Monday.

Our cottage sits next to literally a waterfall that spills out into the lake and is the best fishing spot. We are also only STEPS away from the quaint Village of Belgrade Lakes, so roll out of bed to grab that cup of coffee & paper at the famed “Days Country store”, or 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.

RENTAL AGREEMENT:
*$250 SECURITY DEPOSIT, PLUS 50% OF BALANCE DUE WITH IN 7 BUSINESS DAYS OF EMAILED CONFIRMATION. BALANCE DUE 60 DAYS PRIOR TO ARRIVAL (unless otherwise noted). ANY CANCELLATIONS WILL BE REFUNDED ALL MONIES ONLY IF WE CAN RE-RENT YOUR WEEK. (Per case basis)

Keywords: Lakefront Cottage steps away from quaint village of Belgrade Lakes with the most spectacular sunsets, great fishing, swimming & kayaking. Home comes with two kayaks and canoe. Ideal for families or couples. Pets welcomed with a $125 fee for first pet and $25 for additional for week. $200 CLEANING FEE is for TURNSROUND FEE and INCLUSIVE OF LINEN and TOWELS as well. NEW summer 2023 fee: $75 pumping fee (for holding tank). Because of how close we are to water, we have a holding tank that gets pumped bi weekly.the cost of pumping tank has doubled in the last two years ($300 every 2/3 weeks).the additional $75 per week fee will go towards that fee we take on when take gets pumped. Thanks for your understanding.

Village Camps on Long pond
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.

Great in town Belgrade location on Long Pond
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.

Cozy Cabin Next to Town
We loved this little cabin on the water! The location was great. Something to note, I think it would be more accurate to call this a 2 bedroom home and loft with an additional 3 beds but those areas do not have the privacy of a door. It's a cozy cabin perfect for a small group, we really enjoyed our time and the comforts of home while we were there!

Quaint cottage at great location.
This is a very small cottage with a drop down set of stairs for access to the second floor. 3-4 people would be fine, anything more would be too tight to manage. Location is awesome with nice docks and waterfront access. You can easily walk into the small village for breakfast. While you can hear cars and trucks going by, at night the sound of the dam’s waterfall is very soothing. Overall we enjoyed the cottage and bass fishing.

Loved the Waterfall Cottage! Belgrade Lakes is a special place and offers a wonderfully relaxing experience. The Waterfall Cottage is the epitome of a New England lake property experience. It is a welcoming and very efficient space in a great setting. Amanda is very responsive and helpful and provides any and all information you might need. Will certainly return for another visit !!

Classic Belgrade Gem
This is the third time we’ve stayed at Waterfall Cabin and it won’t be the last. We love the proximity to Day’s Store and everything in The Village. Being right on the water is a bonus and something not to be taken for granted. We appreciate everything about it. Thanks for opening up your home!

Great Place to Stay When You Elope
We had a terrific stay at Waterfall cottage. The views were spectacular and the cottage was cozy, clean, and well equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed the fires in the beautiful fireplace on the cool October nights. This place is very dog friendly and we were comfortable with them in the house and in the yard. Having great hiking trails just 2 minutes away was a huge plus for us. We also were thrilled to be within walking distance of downtown and the Day's Store, and just a 5 minute drive to a great organic farm and farm stand (Winterberry Farm). The owners were super and very responsive. My wife (now my wife) and I had come to Belgrade to elope and the owners left an unexpected and beautiful wedding gift for us on the table, which touched us both very much.

Perfect time away
Waterfall Cottage is an idyllic spot to nourish the soul. In this chaotic year of 2020, I needed a break from the news and the strangeness of this pandemic-stricken world. My two dogs accompanied me and we immersed ourselves in the rhythms of the lake and watched as summer turned into fall. The cabin is very comfortable and clean with all the amenities one would need. The property is in close proximity to Day's Store, where they make the most delicious strawberry-rhubarb pie! I also ordered a take-out meal from the nearby Village Inn & Tavern, where they specialize in roast duck with many different sauce choices. I chose wild blueberry and it was amazing! Thank you, Amanda, for letting us share a small piece of your wonderful cabin on the lake! Until next time...

Wonderful stay
I haven’t been to Belgrade Lakes since I was a teenager and now, I brought my husband and daughter to share how special it is. The location was perfect, walkable to everything you need (general store, park, restaurants) and felt very safe. The dock was pristine and the sunsets were the best- we feel lucky to have found this rental.

Not the cute, quiet, cabin experience I expected.
This cabin was an adorably decorated little cabin but it left much to be desired. "Classic Maine Cottage" means tiny, old kitchen and bathroom, tired old furniture (which potently smells of dog), not the greatest mattresses and don't forget the MICE. This IS your grandfather's lake house which is both good and bad. Road noise from trucks driving on the county road just behind the house become apparent at 5 am. Until then, the waterfall sounds great. Your kids under 10 will love this place- you and your spouse however, may long for the comfort of home. Finally, pray for good weather because if there are more than 2 people in this tiny cabin it will feel claustrophobic especially when using the kitchen! Internet and TV are good. The neighbors are kind and helpful.

This place is magical!
I cannot express enough how wonderful our stay was! My husband and I were a little weary of how much of a “vacation” it would actually feel like, having our 2 year old and 8 month old in tow, but we were pleasantly surprised with how relaxing our trip was. The cabin was cozy and well equipped. The sound of the waterfall was soothing, Proximity to town very convenient and best of all its lake front property provided endless entertainment for kids and adults alike. Best of all the dock was a prime location to take in a different breathtaking sunset every day. Long Pond is truly a magical place! Neighbors were friendly and Amanda was great to communicate with. Thank you Zink Family for providing us with great memories with the kids :)

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Zink

Host profile image
We have owned their vacation home since 2002. I am originally from Maine (the Augusta area) currently living in Jupiter Fla with husband and 2 children (now 7 and 9)and spend some summer weeks at their home as they can.

Why they chose this property

You will experience summer on the Lake in Maine the way it should be! No need to drive ANYWHERE once you arrive. Sit back, fish, swim, roast marsh mellows and create memories that will last a lifetime.

What makes this property unique

Located next to a wonderful waterfall that drowns out any noise, and steps away from the quaint little town of Belgrade Lakes Village, wherethe kids love walking over to'Days Country' store for their evening ice cream or a slice of pizza. Catch an outdoor movie on the Lake too....Parents can grab their morning coffee and paper. Shopping and dining at the Village restaurants are with in a short walk too.
