Long Pond is in Maine's Kennebec and Moose River Valley's region and one of the seven lakes called the Belgrade Lakes Region. The Village of Belgrade Lakes is only about 15 miles northwest of Augusta, just 3 hours North of Boston in Central Maine. The Belgrade region is acclaimed for its natural beauty, wealth of recreational activities and abundance of local charm. Long Pond and the other six fresh water lakes are known for their fine fishing and water activities. Families enjoy swimming, tubing, sailing, fishing and boating, kayaking, canoeing and water skiing and boat rentals are available at nearby boat rentals.
The writer of the award winning 'On Golden Pond', Ernest Thompson, spent much of his early years at neighboring Great Pond, only minutes away from Long Pond.
This area also has the New England Music Camp, where free music concerts are held twice a week during the summer season. The Quaint and picturesque village of Belgrade Lakes is only 15 minutes by car from our cottage in Wildewood Estates and has fabulous restaurants as well as the wonderful Day's Store where you can purchase everything you need for your stay. (Food, liquor, tackle, souvenirs, and the New York Times). Augusta, (The State Capital) just 20 minutes away by car has a huge shopping complex and many restaurants as well. Free port, Maine (famous for its LL Bean Store) has outlet shopping and only 45 minutes away. Antique lovers will find an abundance of shops in this area as well.
There are several golf courses in the area. Belgrade Lakes 18-hole golf course has incredible panoramic views of the area's lakes and hills.

There are many hiking trails (detailed map can be purchased at Day's Store).

Clean lovely home. Easy check in and great sleeping facilities. Would be nice if there were some bath towels but other than that, everything worked out well.
The property was clean, roomy, comfortable and convenient. If you're looking for a very quiet place to relax, swim, fish, and just be, this is the place for you!

This was our first time out to the belgrade lakes region and we loved the Wildwood estates neighborhood. Vera's house was beautifully built and very clean and comfortable for our family. We enjoyed the public beach very much and would love to return.

Overall great experience. Super clean and roomy accommodations. Plenty of room for 4 adults amd 2 children. Very comfortable beds. Great proximity to the beach. Our only issue was getting the tv to work - never quite figured it out. But we didn’t really need it anyway.
We spent a lovely weekend here while visiting our son at a nearby camp. The house was spotless, and we were very grateful for the central air conditioning when temps reached the high 90’s!

Hello Jennifer:
We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to see you again soon.
Vera & Eldon
This property is wonderfully maintained and spotless. It's a very short walk to the common lake access (a lovely beach that's not overcrowded) and even though it's not "lake front" you can see glimpses of the water through the trees.
The air conditioning was a real plus for several very humid days!

Dear Elise, it was a pleasure having you at our cottage again. We welcome you whenever you need another get away. Thanks for the nice review, glad you enjoyed your stay.
This is a lovely property with ample rooms for different family members to read, watch TV, or play.
While not technically "lakefront" the lake is in view directly in front of you, and it's a 2-minute walk to the beach.
The neighborhood is friendly and quiet.

We travel often and stay at vrbo's as often as possible. This house and host were by far one of the best homes we've stayed at. Quiet setting, with lots of room to sit and talk with everyone. The home is exquisitely decorated. There is nothing you could want for it's fabulous.

We agree with all the rest of the positive reviews for this vacation home. My kids had a great time playing in the yard and watching evening TV in the large vaulted ceiling living room.
The knotty pine through out the house is amazing. With my construction background, I can tell someone spent a lot of effort, time and care in building this home.
Thank you to the owners!

Light filled clean cottage that is also warm and cozy
I stayed here for four nights over weekend in late May. It’s about 35 minutes from Waterville and a pleasant drive for a family with a student graduating from college. The beds are comfortable, the kitchen is very well appointed. They even have sharp knives and a non stick pan! The owners were very responsive and extremely gracious when I had a couple of problems.
This was a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend it.

Shireen, It was our pleasure to have you at our cottage. So glad you enjoyed your stay and we welcome you back again.Thank you for even stripping beds which you did not have to do, but we wanted you to know that we appreciate it. Hoping you can come again in the warmer months when you can also enjoy our beautiful beach.
From the moment we drove into the lake community we felt peace and tranquility. The house was perfect for our family of 5 and for a couple of our nights 2 grandparents came to stay. The community beach was spacious and we were often the only people down in the water in the mornings. In the afternoons there were a few other nice, friendly families which delighted our kids to make friends on vacation. Kayaking on the lake was also so peaceful as there were only a handful of other boaters out, even on the weekend in August! We even had a fire in the fire pit and watched the meteor shower late into the night. We also did two local hikes with the kids that were great. We love our time there and were sad to leave. We will definitely be staying here again in the future!

Dear Susan: Thanks for the lovely review of your stay at our cottage. We are so glad that you enjoyed it and would love to have you back again.
Nice house and location. Great area to walk and lake view/access. Loved the deck! All beds were comfortable although small twin was very firm. Would stay again.
We had a very nice stay at the lake! The house was very cute and comfortable with a well stocked kitchen. We did have a little trouble finding information regarding things to do in the area so it would have been helpful to have more information provided in the red notebook (I.e. where to rent boats, menus from local restaurants). The beds were quite high and one short member of our family had trouble getting into bed, so bring a stool if someone in your group meets that criteria. Overall, a very peaceful getaway! The lake was warm and beautiful and neighbors were very friendly!
We were looking for a property for a recent visit with our daughter who is a student at UMaine Farmington (about 20-25 minutes away.) We are glad we chose this location, and would book it again.
It's a lovely home on a quiet road, just a few minutes walk to the private beach on the beautiful lake. The place is open and airy, and our party of five spread out nicely in the three bedrooms.
The house was clean, cozy, and well stocked. We were able to host my daughter and a couple of her friends for a home cooked meal each night. The kitchen with island is open to the living room, which made conversation while meal prepping easy to do.
We ate meals and played cards around the table in the adjoining room (the extra table and chairs provided were a nice bonus.) The TV, cable and wifi were good, and the kids enjoyed the ping pong table in the basement.
The area is beautiful, the house is lovely, and the weekend was very relaxing and thoroughly enjoyable. We look forward to coming back.

We enjoyed our stay, everything was clean and comfortable. We did not realize how far away the property was from Fairfield, this is where family and friends are. Other than that we had an excellent time

Kathleen, We thank you for choosing our cottage for your getaway. Some renters ask about distance from our cottage to various places and choose a cottage accordingly. We wish we knew, we could have helped you. So sorry, but we invite you to visit us again if you are in the area of Belgrade Lakes.
The cottage was extremely comfortable, warm and easy to live-in. It is close to Belgrade Lakes town and to fantastic hiking trails.
Highly recommend this property.
We were impressed with how clean this cabin is kept! You can tell the owners go out of their way to try to think of everything to make it a comfortable vacation spot! We did wish that the TV was larger, that there were TVs in the bedrooms and that there was streaming (smart tv) but we were traveling with a toddler and a lot of people might not watch TV in such a beautiful location! The shower was dark but the supplies were well stocked! The owners were very helpful with directions. Be sure to use Apple Maps to find it as several map aps don’t recognize the address. This was a great place to make family memories and we’d love to vacation here again!
Vera thought of everything.
I can't say that with most owners..there is usually something missing, especially in the kitchen department. The beds were comfortable, the locations was very pleasant and the furniture was very comfortable. Perfect for a couple. It's so nice when the owner doesn't skimp, to make sure the guests have everything they need. It's just going the extra mile and makes all the difference in the world.
The lake was clean and beautiful as well. My first venture into the Belgrade lakes region.
Best,
Nancy & Amos
