We accept three night minimums only during non peak months May, June & Sept, Oct. Our weekly are Monday-Monday during peak months July and August.

The Waterfall cottage is located next to a waterfall on one side of our home which is the spillway for great pond into long pond (our lake). This spot makes it the best fishing spot on the lake. We are also only STEPS away from the quaint village of Belgrade Lakes, so roll out of bed to grab that cup of coffee & paper at the famed “Days Country store”, or walk to the farmers markets on Sunday’s, or a nice stroll to our shops and dine at some of our local Maine restaurants. Belgrade is also home to award wining 5 star golf course, and many hiking and walking trails along the many mountains with in a few miles from cottage.

Both have all your conveniences that larger cities have (movie theaters, dining, museums, big block stores). The coast of Maine is 50 miles away, great for a day trip to our beaches, whale watching in Rockland, shopping the outlets in Freeport, or flying in and out one of the countries most picturesque cities Of Portland Maine.
