Very relaxing vacation. The lake is beautiful. Gerry and the entire family were very friendly and helpful. The weather was not great but we still had a nice stay.
The property was just the right size for a couple. Very friendly family who went out of way to make sure we had everything. Nice area with nearby attractions.
Lovely, well-kept lakefront. Cottage was well equipped, exactly as described and was neat as a pin. Had access to all the water toys and common areas. Family members communicated well and gave us as much privacy as we wanted. We were blessed with perfect weather and look forward to a return trip next year.
Location on lake is delicious and many lake and yard pleasures are provided/included. Charming town with culinary surprises is nearby. Cottage is adequate and carefully stocked. Friendly hosts who willingly share.
This small cottage worked great for us because we are a couple. It was clean, comfortable and appointed nicely. We met family members who own this cottage because they have 3 other cottages on the same property which they were using on that weekend (Labor Day). All were friendly, helpful and respected our space & time there. We had use of their small boats which we enjoyed a bit. There was plenty of outdoor seating for our use, in the sun or in shady areas.
We are considering returning next year.
My wife and I just returned from a weeklong stay on Great Pond. The house and grounds were exactly as advertised. We loved the small cozy cabin, which is perfect for a couple. This area of the lake is quiet and peaceful. We loved spending time in the "summer house" which is an outdoor pavilion right beside the lake. The property has been owned and managed by a family for three generations. The family members whom we met were friendly and very accommodating. They truly worked hard to make us feel welcome while also respecting our privacy. The shared outdoor space worked out fine as there was plenty of room and seating options. We certainly would recommend this location would like to return some day.
My husband and I needed a week away we were looking for somewhere to just relax and spend some quality time. we took a chance and we are so happy we did.
This cottage was everything we wanted. It was spotless, cozy, and comfortable. The family is friendly I felt like we were old friends right away. You can have as much alone time as you like. My husband and I were glad to socialize with such nice people. We kayaked tried paddle boarding, and we rode our bikes. Fires at night on the shore of the lake ended the night after watching the sky turn amazing colors as the sun set. The closest town is what you would call a quintessential Maine town. I am telling you it was everything we wanted. We plan on making it out yearly getaway.
A pleasant surprise. We wanted to rent a small cabin for 2 weeks to use as a base for exploring the Waterville/Augusta area to look for an apartment or possibly house to rent when we retire in a year. We plan to spend summers in Maine and winters in Florida. We have large family in the area. We knew the cabin was near a lake but did not realize it was actually right on the south end of the Great pond. We figured we would spend time exploring the area, have dinner with our Sons and their families and then stay at the cabin at night. After the 2 weeks, we would all gather at a larger place for a weeks vacation.
As it turned out we were able to enjoy kayaking, canoeing and swimming during the day. The view of the lake was beautiful. The family that owns the cabin also owns 3 adjacent dwellings so we got to meet family and renters who have been coming back for over 30 years. Instead of being just a place to sleep at night, 90 Pinkham Cove turned into a lovely oasis to enjoy while away from home and work.
The cabin was clean and tidy and well cared for. We look forward to returning
Our vacation was long over due and Check in was made very easy by the Owner. All accommodations were very well presented by the Owner. Plenty of amenities available by the Owner. Very Happy with our selection of this cabin-home as the Owner takes very god care of the cabin-home.
Very enjoyable stay. Owners are very nice and accommodating! My husband and I pretty much sat out reading and just enjoying the view of the lake. Paddleboat was fun!
Cottage is very cute and cozy! Would definitely go back again!
She met us the following day and made sure we had everything we needed. She checked in from time to time and even went to find decent seafood restaurants for us to try, as it was our first time in Maine.
The cottage located on Pinkham Cove is a wonderful get away complete with water toys and a fire pit. It is a quiet and open space. I had a wonderful experience from start to finish. I was greeted by Lissa who gave me a brief history of the family complex and offered several suggestions for things to do in the Belgrade Lakes area. The cottage was clean and cozy, just what I needed. I met Gerry later and she was also a wonderful source of information and very easy to talk to.
Overall, my trip was excellent and the welcome from the hostesses was a blessing. I would recommend this property to all who desire an experience of a lifetime!.
We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Great Pond. The cabin has everything a couple could need for a week and the friendly hosts were close by if we needed anything. A perfect place to take off in one of the kayaks for a spin up the lake and a beautiful sandy waterfront that I'd easily recommend to anyone with a small child. We don't normally rent a place more than once as we love new locations but this is one we'd happily come back to!
Friendly and responsive host. The cottage was very clean and comfortably furnished with everything you would need for a lakeside vacation. We especially enjoyed sitting around the fire pit and seeing the incredible sunset over the water in the evenings!
We greatly enjoyed our stay in Gerry's Belgrade lakes cottage. We selected it to escape Maine's crowded coastal towns, and were pleased with all we found there. The well taken care of cottage is smallish but not crowded--perfect for us, a retired couple visiting from CA. Suitable for a couple, a small family, or friends' getaway. There was a terrific attention to detail and we had a lovely time staying there. The site is beautiful and tranquil--lake waterfront with access to kayaks and canoes. A concrete dock extends over the water, with outdoor table and chairs (a favorite spot); plus a separate floating dock to swim out to (if the ducks will share it); and a sweet gazebo for shade or light rain protection. The scenery is gorgeous!
The lake water is crystal clear, and the beach gives easy access for swimming. The kitchen is fully supplied with everything needed for home cooking. The bed is comfortable. The decor is delightful! We enjoyed meeting the entire family that works together to make this such a special place! The nearby Village has food stores, restaurants, pie shops (blueberry of course!), and an excellent book store--all we needed to make our Maine vacation perfect! Highly recommended and we'd love to visit again.
Gerry & Diane are very friendly and helpful. Camp is cozy, clean, and comfortable for 2 people. Had all nessesary dishes, paper products, towels, cleaning supplies, etc. Enjoyed the comfortable wharf and gazebo chairs and tables, also the chairs and table by the cottage. Appreciated the use of canoe and kayaks with paddles and lifejackets supplied. Enjoyed swimming in the clear water from the sandy beach and float. Great secured internet. Delicious meals and baked goods available in the nearby village.
Couldnât ask for a better host!!!! The family that owns this property are wonderful people and did not miss any detail even provided enough sâmores if you were there a month. I would definitely recommend this cute little cabin it is convenient to lots of attractions my son and I had a great time. The cottage was very clean you will not be disappointed in this wonderful property highly recommend it.
