Denna pittoreska sjöstuga (Twin Oaks) är bokstavligen "On Golden Pond". Det gyllene dammet med filmberömmelse är faktiskt det här stora dammet. Med 46 mil strandlinje är det den största sjön i Belgrade Lakes-kedjan och den största vattendraget i världen med namnet "damm". Stugan tillhörde min farfar som köpte den på 1930-talet. Det är inte ovanligt att höra det förtrollande samtalet av ler på sjön och / eller se dem nära stranden ibland med spädbarn på slep. Ospreys borrar ibland i grenarna precis utanför den avskärmade verandan och det finns minst en Bald Eagle som kan upptäckas i denna ände av sjön. Kallt läckert brunnsvatten från vår privata brunn erbjuder ett kostnadsfritt alternativ till flaskvatten. Stugan har tyst nya takfläktar, WIFI Internet, HI-DEF platt-TV med DVD och premium kabel-service. En enorm fullskärmad veranda har utsikt över de vackra gyllene solnedgångarna över viken. Du kan njuta av läckra grillade måltider från den nya 2019 Weber 3-brännare gasgrill på gården. Den 32 "långa 6" breda bryggan och landning med en fantastisk 5 "bred trappa med ledstång i vattnet underlättar att njuta av vattnet för personer med begränsad rörlighet. Användningen av två enstaka kajaker för våra gäster utan extra kostnad ger många sätt att njuta av vattnet! Kajakerna är stabila och perfekta för första gången paddlare. Ta lunch och picknick på dammen! Flera öar ligger bara en kort paddel bort. Bara 10 minuters paddel från din brygga "mörkaste Afrika", som jag brukade kalla det, väntar på din utforskning. Även om namnet kan vara ett bevis på barndomens överdrivningar i ett ungdomligt perspektiv, är det fortfarande en pittoresk liten ström där du kan få en glimt av sköldpaddor som solar sig ovanför liljekuddarna eller en blå häger som fiskar det grunt vattnet om du har tur. Efter en vistelse på Twin Oaks kommer dina minnen att vara redo att ta dig tillbaka till den tid då du upplevde första hand "The Way Life Should Be" "On Golden Pond" i Maine.

Wonderful place on the lake
The property is great! The large screened in porch is amazing. The kitchen is very well equipped. The listing says there is a room with 1 twin bed and 1 double bed but there are actually 2 double beds. The listing also does not mention that you need to bring your own bed linens and towels. (If it does, I cannot find it). The hosts are wonderful. They left us a bottle of wine and stopped by to make sure everything was to our satisfaction. The grill is a great bonus. We had a wonderful week and would definitely return in the future!

We’ll be back!
My family and I have been staying on Great Pond since 1984 - this was our 40th year! We had a wonderful time. Tom and Maureen are amazing hosts! The cabin is a quintessential Great Pond camp - not too big, not too small and has everything you need. The screened-in porch and dock are the best parts. We can’t wait to come back next year!

Twin Oaks Sunsets
This cottage is tucked away in a little corner of Great Pond and was a wonderful find. Modern kitchen and good bathroom. The wrap around porch lends itself well to nice views and beautiful sunsets.

Best porch ever!
This is a quintessential Maine camp on the best lake. The updated kitchen has lots of dishes and pans to feed family and friends. The porch provided a cool dry area for visiting and eating. There are steep stairs to the second floor and stairs to the water which may impact some visitors. Great place to kayak, swim and watch sunsets.

Serenity at Great Pond
I enjoyed a lovely stay with a friend for part of my week to kayak, swim, read and float on the lake. We cooked out and ate in and just really enjoyed the peacefulness and the loons. Late summer is a good time to visit and paddle as many people go home and the motorboat traffic is minimalized. We sat on the porch and read in the evening. It was so serene. I enjoyed the quiet for the remainder of the week and the afternoon sun hits this dock perfectly. Everything that was needed was there and the accommodation was perfect!!

Clean and well kept
I would say we enjoyed the cabin on the lake. We did not have great weather and it was quite dark inside the cabin where we had to spend time due to rain and chilly temps. Being on the water was lovely and close proximity to the village of Belgrade, a cute town. Kitchen is very up to date and well stocked with cooking supplies. Wish owners could thin out a few saplings out front to let sun in a little and improve the view. Unfortunately there is no planning for weather!

Most relaxing vacation we ever had
The location is truly amazing and the property was exceptionally clean. This is the first time that my wife and I have taken this German Shepherd Dog with us on a vacation, as he is not quite a year old and we have not vacationed the last almost two years due to COVID 19 concerns. He did very well on the property and quickly became calm because he could enjoy the very large wrap around screened porch with us. Between the dock and the porch, we probably spent 80+ percent of our time enjoying those two places.

Cute Lakeside Cabin with all the extras
Our party was four adults and we stayed for a week. The cabin is set just above a lovely lake (Great Pond), and there’s only a flight of stairs down to the dock. There’s also a landing area if you want a bit more shade. The owners provided ample lakeside seating and the dock also has stairs to get in an out of the lake. They also offered the use of two kayaks with oars and life preservers in the cabin. The cabin and dock face the sunset and we had some unbelievable ones during our trip.
The cabin was two bedrooms, 1.5 baths. The kitchen is newly refinished with all the kitchen amenities provided. There a stove, fridge, and microwave. The living room has seats for 6/7 people and they have board games, puzzles, books, and cable television. The full bath is very large and is off the living room. The couch pulls out and could sleep two. The stairs are a little narrow in spots and they curve, so carrying heavy things may be difficult. At the top of the stairs is a half bath (toilet and sink). The two bedrooms are about equivalent size. The lakeside bedroom has a queen bed and small seating area. There’s a door to the outside, but there’s no landing and it doesn’t open. The other bedroom has a full size and a twin size bed and dressers for each. We had plenty of room even with our two dogs. The best part of the house is the large screened-in, wrap-around porch. We ate several meals on the porch at the table and chairs and were able to appreciate the lake even in the rain. The driveway down to the house is a little steep, but most cars could handle it fine in non-icy weather. There are neighbors close by, but we found it to be very quiet notwithstanding. The WiFi is very good and extends all the way to the dock/lake
The cabin is about 25 mins to Augusta or Waterville if you want to go to a movie or shopping. There is a great store (Tri-Pond) about three miles from the cabin that has gas and groceries, and you can even order breakfast and lunch foods cooked to order.
We had a very relaxing time spent mostly looking at the water and listening to the loons. The check in process with the owners was easy and quick and they responded immediately to all emails. We enjoyed our time very much!

Everything you need and more in a lake cottage
The cottage had everything you need. Unfortunately our week had too many rainy days! Explored into Waterville and had a wonderful lunch at Riverside. Enjoyed the Colby Museum…top notch! I would put a word out on the rental that you need to definitely be able to climb stairs that are very steep. Lovely kitchen with all the things you need to make whatever…thanks Tom and Maureen for sharing such a special place!

Quintessential Maine Perfection
Place is great. Updated kitchen is really nice, the landing down the water is heaven. The huge screened in porch is absolutely wonderful; we are every meal outside looking at the water views without having to worry about bugs. It was like having a huge extra room. The owners are super friendly and responsive.

Better than the pictures
My daughter and I stayed here for the week and had a wondering time. Great pond is an awesome lake and the water is very warm and clear. The house had everything we needed and couldn't have asked for a better vacation. Tom and his wife were absolutely wonderful to deal with and I would definitely recommend staying here next year.

Great time,very relaxing
We had a great time, the cabin was very clean and there was plenty of supplies at the camp, the kayaks where an added bonus. If we weren’t by the pond we were on the amazing screened in porch! I drank my coffee out there every morning. Had there been a place to sleep I would have slept out there. The gift and note left by the owners was very inviting touch! I would highly recommend this cabin.

Perfect location
Our family had a wonderful and relaxing time at Twin oaks. I have been coming every summer to Great Pond for the past 30+ years and this is one of the nicest camps I have stayed at. The location on the pond is quiet and beautiful. The newly renovated kitchen is a big plus for this camp. The dock areas and use of the kayaks were a favorite of my kids and great for swimming or morning coffee. The star of this camp is the wrap around porch. It is huge and provided a great space for us to host a small family dinner party and a sleep over for our two kids and their cousins. Tom and Maureen were super helpful during our stay and easily reachable when we had questions.

Great camp for family, friends, and boating
This camp is exactly as shown in the pictures. The 2 bedrooms are up some curvy stairs from the living room, and are airy and comfortable. Each bedroom had a ceiling fan, plus there were stand fans to keep things cool. My favorite part of Twin Oaks is the great wrap-around screened porch. It is huge and has a dining table plus plenty of chair for just hanging out and enjoying the view of the lake. Be aware that the neighbors are sensitive to people having a good time (aka, talking and laughing) on that screen porch if you're out there too late. So take the fun inside to the living room where there's plenty of seating and a TV with all the cable channels for those rainy days. The kitchen is very functional and has everything you need. There's a gas grill outside for those summertime meals. The dock was amazing and was plenty big enough for our 22 ft. pontoon boat. It was cool to explore Great Pond for the first time. We saw a family of eagles and also 2 different osprey families. The fishing wasn't great but we went in late August so I guess that's to be expected. All in all we had a great time! Thank you!

Screened in porch was good.Stairway very difficult to maneuver to go upstairs.
Pictures on line are deceiving. Small interior. Kitchen extremely outdated. Not all appliances in working order. Lights throughout home not always working. Musty smell throughout. Although the screened in porch is great, most of outside is not kept up except for dock. Stairway to second level is very unsafe due to steepness. Not handicap accessible by any means. Step up to bathroom on main level not safe.

Lovely lake getaway
I love this little camp. My parents used to rent this camp every year for about twenty years, and it was nice to be back.
The wraparound screened-in porch is its shining feature. The loons on the lake were active, and the kayaking is great. We brought friends with us who had never been to Maine, and they enjoyed it. Tom and Maureen are wonderful.

Om värden
Tom and Maureen McAvoy är värd
I was born and raised in nearby Waterville, Maine and spent nearly every day of every summer until college barefoot, shirtless and carefree at this cottage. I left Maine for upstate New York for high school when my parents closed the Elmwood Hotel in Waterville, Maine and I went to college at Cornell University. A Navy career took me around the world, but now I have retired back to nearby Sidney, Maine. My wife and I are both retired US Naval Officers. Some of my favorite things to do are kayaking around Great Pond, swimming, walking, biking, playing with our dogs and traveling to see new places.
Varför värden valde detta boende
My grandfather, Richard W. Begley originally purchased this cottage approximately 80 years ago. I was born and raised in nearby Waterville, Maine and spent nearly every summer until college at this cottage. I have fond memories of great fishing off the dock and the puppet shows that Mary Lane McMillan held at the camp next door ("Afterglow") for the children in the area.
Vad som gör detta boende unikt
The huge screened in porch and nice landing that you can sit and enjoy the lake from are definite pluses. Kayaking on the lake with the 2 kayaks included with your rental at no extra cost is a relaxing way to enjoy and explore the lake. Island hopping, swimming, walking and biking along the roads and even snorkeling along the shore of the lake or out around the islands are fun ways to spend time on the lake. The lake also offers great fishing having been featured on national television shows for its great bass fishing.
