Hidden Gem on Beautiful Golden Pond

Private lakeside modern camp perched on a hill surrounded by trees with glimpses of beautiful Great Pond.

Be among the first to enjoy our 2017-built westerly facing camp perched on a slope 275' feet from beautiful Great Pond. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises in a serene setting only 1 hour from Portland, Maine. The camp is perched on a hill surrounded by tall trees with the glistening lake below. Access the shore by walking a meandering down-hill path through the woods right to the lake with your own private dock. Enjoy a day of swimming, lunch picnics, fishing or even an afternoon nap while listening to the loons. If you’d like to explore beautiful Great Pond by water you may rent kayaks or launch your own boat at the public boat launch and ride it to our private mooring. Ask us for details, and reserve early.

Newly expanded trails are easy to navigate and newly expanded dock with pulley mooring for your boat in a secluded area with picnic table and seating area shaded by cedars.

Property shares 225’ of shore with another property, but trails and shore areas are clearly marked and separate by almost 200’. New wide trail for portage of canoes and kayaks makes loading and unloading much easier.

Inside the bright modern camp, find a fully equipped kitchen, and a living room with 3 sliding glass doors that open to an expansive deck equipped with a gas grill -- perfect for enjoying dinner and drinks outdoors or just a place for relaxing under the sun or star gazing at night. Easy to operate heating and cooling system brings comfort to those chilly mornings or hot mid-summer nights.

The camp has 3 bedrooms and one sleeper sofa - perfect for 6 guests but could accommodate 8. Downstairs you’ll find a bedroom with a queen bed, bathroom with a standup shower and a queen pull-out sofa in the living room. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms – one with 2 twin beds (with storage drawers) and the other with a queen bed along with a bathroom with a full bath.

A close drive from camp, find the quaint village of Belgrade Lakes that will take you back in time with its old fashioned general store and ice-cream shops. Also, nearby, find, hiking trails, Winterberry Farm (great homemade pies and chutneys and jams) and Belgrade Country Club for golf lovers. In nearby Waterville (30-minute drive) find shops, restaurants and Colby College with its beautiful Museum of Art (free to the public); a perfect excursion for a rainy day. Augusta is also nearby (20-minute drive) for shopping and a movie theater. Been fishing lately?

Quiet, restorative oasis
This is our second year at this lovely lakeside home. The views and spacious location make this a family favorite! The rooms and beds are very comfortable and the porch was a lovely place to visit, listen to the loons and recharge for the coming school year. Ross is a superb host and we love his home!

Quiet, lovely spacious home on Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes
This was a picture perfect location for our annual week away on Great Pond! The dock and pulley system worked beautifully for a boat and the kids enjoyed yoga on the dock, overlooking a gorgeous cove on Great Pond. We hope to return to this lovely home next year!

Perfect family escape
We loved every aspect of our stay in this perfect camp on the lake. Ross is wonderfully responsive and has thought of everything, including connections you will want to make with those who rent kayaks and motor boats. The camp itself is beyond comfortable. We are ever grateful for the opportunity to have experienced this place.

Great week at the lake cabin. Well stocked - just wish we would have had better weather! Maine was in the middle of record rainfall but we found fun anyway! Bar Harbor, Freeport, horseback riding, great seafood/dining and the zoo! Tks again Ross.

Perfect accommodations. Had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.
We visit family every year here so already love this lake! We felt comfortable and this camp had everything we needed. My biggest worry was that we would mess something up because it is so new and clean. I think we did ok! The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all the things you would want in your own kitchen. The bedding and towels were soft and cozy. We plan to return!

We had a wonderful experience in an immaculate and serene setting. Well furnished with everything you need. Ross was more than helpful and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable as well as memorable. We got in lots of swimming and fishing during a very hot week! Thank you, Ross for providing a cozy place to relax and enjoy all that a Maine summer has to offer. We hope to see you again!!

Simply excellent
We rented this cabin for some incoming CA guests. Ross was a Dream to work with. He did everything to make our guests Maine experience the best! The cabin is pristine, very very clean and included everything you would ever need except your food. We will rent from Ross again and encourage anyone looking to rent a cute modern cabin to definitely stay here!

Absolutely gorgeous
Amazing location with lake access. The cabin is beautiful with extreme attention to detail. Comfortable bedrooms with beautiful open spaces to enjoy the outdoors. The host is thoughtful and a great communicator. Essentials provided-including mosquito repellent are a definite plus. We rented kayaks from Wells and Sons and they delivered them to the cabin. We were able to enjoy the lake fully.... Belgrade is just a few minutes away with nice restaurants and grocery basics. Nice hiking trails around.

Two Weeks In Nirvana
As was the case the prior two years, Ross's camp was in perfect condition. It is a great feeling to know that when show up for your stay, you don't have to spend any time running back out to purchase items that aren't provided, especially kitchen utensils. Simply stated, Ross goes out of his way to make sure his customers have a stress free, perfect vacation. Thanks again, Ross.

Good
House was very roomy and large enough for our family. Wish there were a few more cabinets and closets. The outside deck and dock was very large for all of us; however there was no ladder for getting in and out of the water. Also the path to the dock was difficult for my husband and myself (path was steep in some places) but the kids did a lot better. The owner was very responsive to our questions and got back to us quickly. Overall it was a good place to stay.

One of a kind vacation week
I rented Ross's camp for my brother and sister and their family. I have been vacationing in Belgrade Lake's for a few years now and have never gone back to a previous rental......THAT IS ABOUT TO CHANGE. My family gushed about how well equipped Ross's camp was, not to mention how stylishly furnished it was. Also, kudos for how quickly Ross responded to a minor plumbing issue. We will now anxiously wait for the calendar to open up for 2022. Thank you again for a great week.

Truly a Hidden Gem
Belgrade Lakes is my heart place and feel fortunate to have summered here for over 30 years. When good friends showed interest in escaping NYC and heading North I went on the hunt for a lake rental. Knowing almost all available inventory on the lake, I must say I was immediately attracted to ‘Hidden Gem’ - it’s the perfect oasis tucked in the woods w/ a beautifully manicured path to your private dock. The cottage is spotless and you can tell the pride and thoughtfulness that went into its design and single every detail (big and small). As a hospitality professional myself the attention to detail, cleanliness, amenities, overall care, and communication with the owners were first star from initial request to departure. I look forward to recommending Hidden Gem to other friends and family.

Take Caution
Our family enjoyed our time at this home up the hill from the lake! However, I will say RENTERS BEWARE of Ross’ extra “fees” on top of the generous cleaning fee included in the booking. I know for fact when stripping the beds at the end of our stay, there were no large stains on sheets or I would have remidied them. Though multiple claims of different fluids on sheets came a week later and we ended up paying for replacement sheets and extra cleaning fees. We were also accused of stealing and charged for an area rug (lmao), which he did not even look for but was later found in one of the closets. Take pictures when you leave the home is my suggestion. Much more accommodating places, that are closer to the water, will be chosen in the future for our family.
