About this property

Private w/ waterfront <5 min to Pleasant Mt & town. Dock, pool table, ping-pong

July 23rd Update - last-minute 2026 summer dates - 5 nights remaining!
- Sun. Aug 30th - Fri. Sept 4th

......................

Looking for an easy, private getaway with your own waterfront? A place surrounded by trees but around the corner from everything? The vacation cabin feeling with modern amenities that make time away easy and more memorable?

In the summer, jump off the dock, paddle a canoe or kayak, go fishing, or relax with a book by the water on private Beaver Pond. Or use the Moose Pond public boat launch 3 minutes down the road. And it's only a 5 minute ride to the center of Bridgton for a movie or meal anytime of the year.

During the winter, wake up and be at Plesant Mountain ( Shawnee Peak ) for skiing or riding in less than 5 minutes. Go snow-shoeing or cross-country skiing on the snow-covered pond in back or on Moose Pond or the nearby trails. Or hit the snowmobile trails on and around Moose Pond and easily connect to the Maine state-wide trail system.

This newer, comfortable 2 BR, 2BA house with private water frontage on Beaver Pond is nestled in the trees and has the extras that take stress out of getaways:
- Newer appliances, including a dishwasher, washer, dryer, full oven, refrigerator with ice maker, and filtered water system
- Nighttime, winter, and rainy-day fun for all, with a full-sized pool table, ping pong, air hockey, board games, puzzles and toys
- Screened-in porch accessible off the great room for reading or resting outside
- High-speed 2-gig fiber interne connection, satellite TV, and 4G mobile phone coverage inside or outside the house

This is dog-friendly contemporary cabin full of thoughtful touches. We enjoyed the pond, wooded property and nearby hikes. I had two curious otters greet me one morning by the dock. They put on quite a show.

We had the best time. The pond was perfect. Quiet, peaceful and the perfect size. The kids loved the kids kayaks and the pool table downstairs. The kitchen was well stocked and we were able to make all our meals there with no issues. We just left and already miss it!

Wonderful property! Great location to Bridgton area and only 30 minutes from North Conway. Very clean and well stocked house. Enjoyed the ping pong table in basement. We appreciated the use of the kayaks too! As noted in another review, it is a bit of a steep incline down a path to the water but once there you are greeted with a lovely sitting area, dock, and floating pad on the water.

The house was perfect for us. Fully stocked with pots and pans. We enjoyed morning on the screened in deck and evenings by the fire. The pond it a bit of a hike there and back. I have a broken toe which made it difficult but not impossible. There are kayaks and a float pad that we had fun with. The kids loved the basement with games, ping pong and pool. There area offers endless activities from water plane rides in Naples to the Cog Railway at Mt Washington. We also did tubing on the Saco River. We had a great time!

We had such a great time here. The house was amazing. We loved the privacy and we couldn’t see any neighbors. My 15 year old and his friends had a great time with the boats and fishing on beaver pond and the games in the basement. We explored the many bigger lakes in the area with our boat to fish. But beaver pond ranked as their top choice for fishing for bass! The pond water was very clean for swimming. The host sent very helpful and detailed information regarding everything a week before. They also answered questions promptly. The beds were comfortable. We have rented a lot of places but this was our favorite.

This is a clean and cozy cottage with a great pond-side location and lots of amenities, including a dock and watercraft, a firepit, pool table, and well-appointed kitchen.The sound of loons calling at night from the pond was lovely.None of these things presented hurdles, but FYI: The upper bunk bed is only suitable for a smaller person, but with the pull-out couch we were still able to sleep four big guys comfortably. The path to and from the dock is a bit steep and has rocks and roots, so you might want t bring good outdoor footwear.
