This property met every single need of our family vacation on Belgrade Stream. The outdoor area is absolutely beautiful with a lot of room to enjoy the outdoors with two docks, fire pit, kayaks and a large screened in porch. Sleeping quarters made it comfortable for everyone and the interior is perfectly spacious for all. Check in was super easy and our host was communicative. Would definitely come back to this same place next year!

If you are looking for clean and modern this is not for you. It is a very rustic old cabin. Plenty of areas to sit and relax. Multiple sleeping areas available. The kids loved kayaking around the beautiful river & played board games every night out on the porch. Peaceful. Nobody bothered us. It was just what we needed it to be

The cabin was absolutely beautiful! It was very relaxing! The owner was very easy to get in contact with. I wish I didn’t have to leave this place! My family said we would live here in a heartbeat. This was about 20 mins to Colby campus which is the reason why we were there.

Great Huge Lake Cabin

So easy to check in! So much space! I loved having my coffee in the morning on the dock. We stayed here during the Maine Ironman 70.3. It was nice and relaxing setting us up for a great race. Kitchen was well stocked!

Quiet family holiday

It was a shirt trio for us to see family in the area for the holidays. The space was nice and met our needs with a well stocked kitchen. It is rustic, which we like, and as such has a few small quirks that are easy to adjust too. Communication was quick and appreciated.

Rustic Fall Getaway

We visited the area to attend the Maine Cabin Masters Lobster Bake, which was only a 15 min drive. We were a group of 3 couples and 1 dog. The cabin was roomy for us all and the screened porch was wonderful. The sunset from the dock was lovely, property was surprisingly private. Cabin is very rustic, but well equiped. Beds were comfortable, linens were nice.

Relaxing family trip

Property was large. Two docks where you could enter water. There were enough kayaks for all of us. Large fire pit for evening camp fires. Screened in porch for the rainy days. Really enjoyed our time together in this lovely location!

Perfect place for our vacation

Met friends from Georgia at this cozy cabin and had a great week fishing and hanging around the fire pit telling stories and reminiscing about the past. Up stairs bathroom a little small but that was the only negative we could find. Definitely thinking of going back!!

Family Thanksgiving

Grew up in the area and my kids all live here now- we live 3 hours so I was able to “host” and the kids didn’t have to travel far. My youngest grandson was 3 weeks old so this worked out great- they stopped by for a few hours each day. The other grandsons could go to basketball and hockey. Great set up for our needs!

Visiting Family

We stayed at the house while visiting Family in Oakland which is about a 10 minute drive so we did not spend much time at the house. We managed to work in a kayak paddle around the stream before the rain set in for the weekend. Beds were comfortable and house was well stocked. Location is nice on the Belgrade Stream with easy access to shopping and tourist attractions. Would love to come back and enjoy the outdoor activities

Mini family reunion

The property was ideal for our stay. While it unfortunately rained over most of the three days there, the large open space was comfortable for our group of 7 to read, dine and play games together. The porch was large and peaceful. The walk through between three bedrooms was surprising but it worked, and we were grateful for the tiny bathroom in the large bedroom upstairs. In a break in the weather I was thrilled to take a kayak down the lake and visit with the first loon of the season. It was well appointed for large meals and cooking and the owner was super responsive. Great stay!

Great cabin, would stay there again

Lovely place, we had everything we needed. We arrived at night and it is on a unpaved driveway, covered in leaves at this time of year, so that was tricky. The lot is really beautiful, beds were comfortable with good linens. Owner was very responsive which I really liked. Only problem was a very smoky smell in the cabin. Apparently the chimneys had been serviced which caused this, but our first night it was very intense. It subsided a bit during our stay.

Beautiful Home by the Water

Lovely location with well equipped kitchen. Comfortable beds, some bedrooms are "walkthroughs." Upstairs requires crouching through low hallway to get to loft, and to use upstairs toilet in water closet. Bring your bug spray! The flies & mosquitos were swarming outside while we were there. It rained every day, but there was plenty to do inside. And we always enjoyed the lovely view of the Belgrade Stream!

Quiet house in the woods

We had a nice stay for nearly a week at this quiet house. The weather was cool and rainy so we didn't get to enjoy all of the outdoor amenities this place offered. The woodstove was wonderful, though! It was a quick 20 minute drive to a large grocery store and we went to dinner in Augusta and Waterville. There are lots of great hikes nearby, some just a 10 minute drive. I saw a bald eagle on a lovely paddle using the kayaks Christine had made available to us. The check in was SUPER easy!

Family Holiday

The cabin is large and beautiful. with a well working wood stove to supplement the heat on a small river. Only things to note: there is only one bathroom (there is a toilet and sink in one of the upstairs bedrooms) and the kitchen is rather narrow and devoid of much counter space. These two things were minor issues because we were having a family holiday gathering, so cooking and getting clean were at times difficult. But, as long as one is prepared for those aspects of the property, it is excellent.

Rustic but well-equipped cabin on the water

Overall we had a very nice stay. The owner was very responsive whenever we had questions and the cabin came with just about everything one would need to be self-sufficient (which was handy as we wanted to do a lot of cooking at the house). Some of the screens on the porch could use repair (including the doors) and the water pressure in the shower is low, but overall things were in good condition and we really loved using the swings on the porch to relax while avoiding bugs. Our kids swam a bit off of the wooden dock. The bottom was a little mucky but they wore water shoes and just pulled themselves back up onto the dock rather than walking back to shore. We brought our fishing boat and caught a lot of fish in both the river and the lake, so highly recommended to anyone who wants to do some fishing!

Great wifi, loved the size of the lot and the on demand hot water. Cabin was EXTREMELY DIRTY and the owner fix was scented garbage bags and toxic air fresheners. Property in disrepair, we bought and installed a pin to secure the ramp hinge on the aluminum dock, the wooden dock needs significant repair. No easy access to water for dogs or older folks. Trash and dog poop on the grounds which we cleaned. Above all, the washing machine was caked with mold and mildew to the extent that the bedroom where it is located, stunk of mold and mildew. Too big of a job for us to clean. Sad that we packed thinking we could use the beautiful washer in the pics. Suggest YouTube video how to clean front load washer and signs for guests to leave the washer door open, even if it means permanently closing the entrance to the bathroom from that bedroom. Also suggest hiring a professional cleaning company and bring property up to minimum code, as most rooms had no smoke detectors.
