About this property

Spacious North Pond Lakefront Retreat - Sleeps 20 - Belgrade Lakes Region

Escape to a peaceful lakefront retreat, perfect for large families and friends looking to relax and reconnect with nature. Our property features a main cabin (Loon Lodge) and two bungalows (Chickadee and Pinecone), all offer privacy and togetherness for your group. Enjoy direct access to a private beach, where you can swim, sunbathe or launch a kayak for a serene paddle on the lake. The walk-out basement provides extra entertainment with a ping-pong table, perfect for friendly competitions after a day in the sun. Whether you're unwinding by the water, on the deck overlooking the lake or gathering around a fire, this is the ultimate summer getaway.

We've recently updated the two smaller bungalows, Chickadee and Pinecone, with brand-new decks and sliding doors, letting you enjoy the fresh summer air and lake breezes while keeping the bugs out.

This is a wonderful property with 3 separate buildings. The pond is lovely, although beware it is very shallow by the house and the boat dock. We rented for 2 weeks with a group of 13 people and had an amazing time! The host is also wonderful to work with.

19 of us, 3 generations, loved our vacation at this lakehouse from August 22-29. The beds were very comfortable. Our grandchildren enjoyed swimming, the kayaks and the yard. The view of the lake from the deck was beautiful. There was enough space where no one was crowded. Watching the eagles and listening to the loons added to the atmosphere. We would definitely return to this lakehouse. Thank you Shaina.

Perfect location for our family trip! Quiet setting on the water but not too far from bigger cities. We really loved it and having two smaller cabins on the property for other family members was a plus!! Would definitely stay again!!

We had a beautiful week in Smithfield. The main house was a great place for our family dinners,for our family of 18. There's everything you need and the beds were super comfortable. The lake was warm but very shallow. Great area for hiking as well. We even went rollerskating next-door.

The view was beautiful, listening to the Loons was so peaceful. The water was great for the kids to play at the water and use the Kayaks. The only down side was the number of bathrooms, it was a little challenging for such a big group but we made it work.

A wonderful place to have our family reunion! Everything was clean and in good order. The dock is in shallow water, so be aware of that if you plan to bring a boat. Great for the kids to swim though!

The view of the lake is beautiful and the loon was perfect, but we did not have drinkable water and for the price of cleaning and using only the Loon it was overpriced for the stay.

Great family vacation

We had an amazing family vacation at this location. We rented the 3 cabins for our large group and fit perfectly. Check in was super easy, the hosts provided all necessary information and everything was clean. They provided a lot of fun extras like children’s books and games, kayaks and a canoe along with life vests. They also provide a wagon that’s great for unpacking your vehicles and bringing things to the beach. The cabins had all necessary's utensils, pans and dishes. There’s also a restaurant and ice cream store within walking distance. A general store is a quick drive for anything you may have forgotten. The hosts are very nice and quick to respond to any questions. We would definitely recommend staying here!

Wonderful lake vacation

This is a wonderful property— right on a clean swimming lake with its own beach, two little cottages each with their own screened in porches, plus kitchens and a big big lawn. We stayed there with several family members — 6 adults and our 1 and 3 year old grandkids. Perfect for us. The lake and sandy beach are great for kids because the water is so shallow, sandy and clean. It was great for adults too. The big lawn gave the kids lots of running room and they loved the bunk rooms. We loved sitting outside or on the dock or on the screened in porches with Edison lights talking or reading and listening to the loons. The fire pit was great— our littles enjoyed their first s’mores. Thank you, Shaina, for sharing this special place with us.

Amazing Place for a Big Family

Our family of 18 (7 kids, 11 adults) had an amazing 3 night stay for our parent's 50th anniversary. It's so tough to find a property big enough for us all and where we can have our own space but the lodge and two cottages were perfect for our family. The property is even better than the pictures and the new lodge is incredible. Everything was super clean and well stocked upon arrival. The bluetooth speakers were such a nice touch that I haven't seen at any other rental. The yard is massive and there is plenty of room for the kids to run around and play, while still feeling quite private. The homeowner was super responsive with any questions leading up to and during our stay. The only slight bummer (not any fault of the homeowner) was that despite the water being crystal clear, the lake had an algae bloom when we went so there was no swimming allowed, which we were not aware of beforehand. But good to know that you may not always be able to swim, so plan for other backup activities. There are lots of other lakes around that were okay to swim and we spent one day at another lake. However we were able to use the kayaks and canoe, and spent lots of time on the dock as well as bringing our own small boat as there is a boat launch on the other side of the lake. When you can swim, I'm sure the small beach is incredible since it has nice soft sand to walk into the water. We would definitely love to come back in the future, the property was absolutely 10/10 for our family.

Accommodated a big family

We had a great time. Property was beautiful. The lake was beautiful. And the communication was great. Only downfall was my kids got bit up by something in the water almost like a sealice. Pretty badly. Def suggest rinsing off after. Also it was quite warm some of the days and nights and you can't have the French doors open to let air in as the bugs are really intense. We shopped at hannifords and cooked most the time. We did have the tri Pond cook us lobster and we just picked it up and brought it back.. Very amazing. We visited Houston Brook Falls was so amazing. Also the Moxie Falls had a great swimming hole. We went on a day trip to Acadia National and took the Sand Pond route. We didn't take the shuttle we drove our own vehicle while there. Highly suggest Maines Botanical garden it was amazing. They have hidden huge trolls and a park for kids and even rental carts for those that can't get around as well. One regret was red eats famous for their lobster roll. We waited in line 3 hours and it was not worth it. Def would love to visit again. The stars are beautiful at night around the fire. My kids loved playing kids charades. Thanks for this accomadating property.

North pond algae bloom

NORTH POND HAS HAD AN ALGAE BLOOM 4 OF THE LAST 5 SUMMERS!!! For those of you that don’t know – YOU CANT SWIM IN THE WATER. We learned this the hard way, we stayed this past week and it was hard to explain to my two young kids that they couldn’t swim in the pond in our backyard. We were devastated as the cost of these cabins was hefty, but to add insult to injury, we rented a boat, which was an additional expense, and literally the whole vacation hinged on water sports (ie: tubing, skiing, etc). The accommodations are lovely and well appointed, but I can’t conceive of not letting renters know that swimming is dangerous – we felt misled and frankly lied to. Shaina was lovely until I asked about the bloom. She then provided what sounded like a very canned statement that read it is ok, except for babies and dogs. Well, that unfortunately is not the case, the bacteria is dangerous and the state of ME advises: NO SWIMMING. Full disclosure, she did offer $700 back, but frankly that pales in comparison to the cost of the cabin which are advertised as water front property. Another few issues for renters to be aware of: there is a lot of broken glass on the beach and the cabins are very hot. We knew going in that the cabins didn’t have air conditioners. We picked up a small window unit thinking we could overcome that issue, but the windows are crank, so it is hot and there is very little air circulating. We made the best of it, but not being able to tube, ski, or swim was awful.

Our extended family had a wonderful time. The three houses are perfect for a big family, with lots of privacy and places to relax. The water and the lakefront are perfect. We floated and relaxed all day, and spent evenings together in the main house. A wonderful experience and we will be back. Thanks, Shaina!

Perfect vacation spot

It was perfect for two families vacationing together. We each had our own cottage which was great. We made use of the kayaks and canoe on the beautiful lake and ended our days at the fire pit. Even when it rained we enjoyed the outdoors on the screened in porches. A great time was had by all with many memories made. Would definitely recommend this place.
