The property, in the 25 plus years I’ve been renting it, remains quite special. It’s easy to enjoy the proximity to the water, the family of geese, the perpetual quiet and the heavenly chorus of the loons. Oh yes, and the fishing is to die for.I will be back for years to come.

Great stay

Allison was great and extremely responsive. The cabin was clean and the location was perfect. It was nice having both heat and air conditioning as some days both were used. I rented my own kayak, but having the boat available was a nice addition. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Short stay

We were very relaxed at Tilden pond but unfortunately both me and my wife tested positive for COVID on Wednesday and had to return home the next day. We liked how the camp wasn’t too far out of the way for Acadia National park and Baxter State Park day trips.

Another stay at Tilden Pond after a brief lapse

My wife and I have become attached to this little cabin, after returning several years in a row. Following a brief interruption we were happy to see that the new owners had changed very little. It's snug but has all that is necessary for us, and it's in the right place.

A little slice of heaven!!!

I came to visit friends in the area and this cabin was PERFECT!!! it is well appointed, very clean, and there was nothing I didn't have that I wished was there. It was peaceful, the weather was gorgeous. I could hear the loons at night on the water, slept with the windows open every night. The hosts were kind, not intrusive, and answered any questions I had quickly. I would definitely stay here again. This is a perfect spot for a single person, or a couple. Everything was perfect!

Aug on Tilden

Everything was special in every way. The cabin is quiet and private. Closeness to the water is very special...eagles, geese and loons all contribute to the ongoing symphony. Small, but very functional and comfortable. So many places to visit, including downtown Belfast, Young's Lobster Pound and numerous destinations north and south on US 1. This one is a little known gem!

Lovely little cabin

This is a rustic little cabin in a perfect location. It is well-equipped and tidy inside. Everything seemed very clean and well cared for. The lake setting could not be beat. Also we love this part of Maine. Overall very pleased. The only small thing I could say about it is that it is not fancy (that is obvious from the photos) and it has a bit of a musty cabin smell. But it was very charming and we would return.

The camp is small but pleasant and well equipped for 2 guests. We chose it because the reviews & pictures suggested a rowboat and canoe were available. This is not true. The lake seems lovely, the location is pleasant and private but it was disappointing to come so far just to look at it.

Fishing Heaven

Dear Allison and Brad, Thank you so much for sharing your cozy cottage with others. We came to Maine with dreams of enjoying some bass fishing and escaping the noise of suburbia. We were not disappointed! The regular sightings of the bald eagle, the loon songs, and excellent fishing made it a great trip. Sharing your rowboat for our trolling motor made the great fishing possible. We wish you a wonderful summer season, and hope your guests enjoy Tilden Pond as much as we did! Thank you!

Magical cabin by a peaceful pond

I had a wonderful week at Farpoint Cabin which is down a lane and then right on the edge of beautiful Tilden Pond. It's about an 8 minute drive to Belfast and a little longer to Camden and Rockport. The cabin is rustic, but comfortable, with a good bed and plenty of hot water. It is small but perfect for one person(me!) and would be fine for 2. I was amazed that it was so peaceful and quiet - no motorized boats, just canoes and kayaks - and one sailboat. Bliss! Contact with Alison, the host, was easy. I would happily stay there again.

About the host

Hosted by Allison Guyton

Host profile image

Our family fell in love this property the first time we drove in! We are enamored with the serene massive stunning water views, a welcome respite to the craziness of life, ALL with proximity to Belfast, restaurants, Penobscot Bay within 10 minutes.

Why they chose this property

Farpoint on Tilden Pond is a magically place. "Tilden Pond in the Midcoast town of Belmont, Maine, may be small in size, but it’s beyond large in beauty. If you are looking for an escape located away from it all, yet rather close to it all, Tilden Pond may be your choice for waterfront real estate. Tilden Pond is only three hours from Boston and one hour from Portland."

What makes this property unique

Few cottages offer such a close proximity to the water and privacy. We offer a dedicated WIFI system, fully stocked kitchen and grill, screened in porch and private outdoor space.
