Charming peaceful lakefront cottage near seacoast towns of Belfast and Camden
Escape to this serene and quiet lakeside cottage where you can relax, swim, kayak, fish, and bask in natural beauty. This supremely peaceful retreat is located down a private dirt road on Tilden Pond, a 400-acre lake which has the rare designation of “no public access.”
The two-bedroom house is designed to be delightfully cozy for a couple or family with one or two children. There is one bedroom with a queen bed and one bedroom with 2 single beds.
The cottage is 20 minutes from Belfast and 25 minutes from Camden, two lovely seacoast harbor towns, excellent for scenic strolls to enjoy great views, restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries. For taking in more of the varied beauty of coastal Maine, enjoy a salt water Penobscot Bay cruise to explore islands beyond, or hike in Camden Hills State Park for breathtaking ocean views.
With no Wifi or TV screens, this cottage is a place to ponder sublime sunsets to heal your soul and gaze at a star filled night sky. Fall asleep to the sound of loons. Take your morning coffee down to the dock to relax and you might spot the resident bald eagles fishing for their breakfast.

Beautiful cottage on the lake. We spent hours on the porch and private dock viewing the lake. Perfect for our family of 4. Jasmine was a great host and gave us multiple recommendations that did not disappoint
We had such a lovely time in your beautiful cottage. Kayaking and swimming in the pond, listening to the loons. Sitting in the sunny porch, looking out over the pond. Everything in the house is well-kept, beautiful and so clean. We highly recommend this house for anyone looking to stay in a beautiful part of Maine.

We are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We love to have others experience and appreciate the beauty and calm of this pristine lake and our cottage. Please come back again, you were great guests.
If you are looking to experience everything that Mid-Coast Maine has to offer, then look no further. This rental has everything you need to unwind, relax, and enjoy nature.
The house is conveniently located approximately 20-30 minutes from Belfast and Camden, which both offer great restaurants and shopping.
The lake (Tilden Pond) is private, quiet, and serene with clear, warm water that is great for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. We enjoyed watching the colorful sunsets over the lake every night.
The house (interior & exterior) was immaculate and had everything you need to be comfortable. The attention to detail, and the thoughtfulness that went into the design, were noticeable and appreciated. The screened-in porch was a great place to relax, read, have meals, play games, and enjoy a morning cup of coffee.
It was an excellent stay and we hope to return in the future.
This snug and beautifully designed cottage has all the features of a larger house yet is scaled to integrate with the setting of woods and shoreline. Ample windows in every direction allow the outside to come in and spending time inside ( say, on a rainy day) is as enjoyable as spending time outside under the trees and near the water. The kitchen is equipped with all the utensils and equipment one needs to turn out excellent vacation meals. Bolstered by the number of organic farm stands nearby, cooking became a welcomed pastime during our stay! The 3 season porch is a fantastic perch to watch the lake, hear the loons and other wildlife that may make itself known on the property. We are sure we heard a moose one night, saw a gray fox, as well as numerous birds ( eagles, herons, hawks, geese and song birds).The pond is certainly lake-like in size and is excellent for kayaking and swimming, and the dock provides a simple deck of sorts to sit out near the pond and take in all that it has to offer. The sense of peace and the actual quiet are remarkable. I have only heard such silence on a northernVermont night or at the top of a peak in the Sierras. It was an extremely welcomed respite from the hullabaloo of the world and a perfect late summer vacation before entering the whirlwind of everyday life. We are very grateful for the embrace of this magical place.
