Private, on the water beautiful log cabin, 815 feet of water frontage, 16 acres

As of July 12, 2023 we have 54 reviews and they are all five stars.
The property is truly a memory factory for families and friends. Comes fully furnished with charm straight out of a movie scene. Private large log cabin that sites in the middle of 16 area of land and has 815 feet of water frontage. The cabin is 40 feet X 60 feet and has a large screened in porch, 30 feet X 26 feet. Also an outdoor deck. Fishing, swimming and boating are right out the lake side door. Hiking on the Appalachia trail or mountain hiking is within a few miles. There are many beautiful walks within the area. The cabin sites approximately 7 story's above the water and faces west. The views are breath taking. All the comforts of home: full kitchen, one full bath, one half bath, cloths dryer & washer, extra sink in the master bedroom and an outside shower.. The master bedroom has a king size bed and a bunk bed, the other down stairs bedroom has a queen size bed. Both of these rooms have enough space to set up roll away beds in them. The loft bedroom has a queen bed, a full bed and three single beds and there is a pull out couch on the screened in porch.

Dock at the water's edge. This site was selected by a family from Chicago in 1945.
There is a road that goes down to within 50 feet of the water. If you have a four wheel drive vehicle you can drive down the road to drop off/pickup kayaks or canoes. It is also good for older people that might not want to go down the 7 story of stairs to the water. The cabin has an 30 amp RV connection. The cabin has Elon Musk's Starlink internet which is very strong. (150--50).
There is deep extremely clear water right off the docks for diving and swimming.


Maximum number of people is 12.

We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. Huge family room with tons of seating and places to converse. Awesome game room that was used every evening and on the one day it rained. Plenty of kayaks and canoes to use for fishing and paddling around. The water was clean and clear and the perfect temperature. We had a great time in Monson and really enjoyed our stay at this location. Bill was a fantastic host and was available at any point to answer any questions. Thank you for allowing us to experience your cabin and all it has to offer. Highly recommend!

This was the perfect home for our family vacation. Lots of room for a family of 11 .... all adults. Screened in porch with pool table was just what we needed to relax. There was so much space, we were never on top of each other. Huge dinning room table allowed us to eat together and spend quality time. The property owner was exceptional in communicating with us and offering a ton of support. The most support we have ever had while traveling. If you are looking for an interesting home, this is it. Lots of personality and warmth. Fishing in this area was awesome. My niece caught a substantial trout! Lots of kayaks and all the items needed were provided. My only recommendation is if you chose this property, an SUV is a good idea to have. The road in is a bit bumpy but absolutely worth the trip!!! Thanks for sharing your home with our family!!! We had a wonderful, relaxing vacation in Maine.

If you want to get rid of some stress this is the perfect place. Quiet & beautiful. You could spend a few hours just looking at all the things Bill has put into the cabin & porch. You see something new every time. Or old like the pay phone on the porch. Bill is a great owner! You can send him a message anytime & he will get back to you on the same day. Definetly check out the Monson general store. They have great sandwiches for breakfast & lunch. Everything is so fresh & great desserts too!

Epic private setting for a lakeside adventure
We had a large family gather here, aged 6 months to 75 years old. The swimming and kayaks were a huge hit, and teens and adults all spent a significant amount of time out on and in the water. The 7 stories of stairs made our calves so strong! There were incredible nearby hikes and waterfalls that also filled our time here. The pool table and other porch games were well utilized. We found the place comfortable, spacious and eclectic, and the owner was quick to respond to any problem or inquiry. I would not hesitate to return. The only drawback, really, was cleanup in the kitchen, with many guests and no dishwasher, the process was lengthy and we arrived to find not even a sponge to wash our dishes. All in all, a fantastic space removed from the hustle and bustle, and plenty of space to spread out, play games, and stay active outdoors. Everyone loved it!

Rustic log cabin on peaceful pond with awesome swimming
We had a great week at this log cabin...very private and quiet but only about 10 minutes from little downtown of Monson; 20 minutes from Greenville. Close to AT and Borestone mountain for hiking. No public boat launch on pond but the guys took our small boat over the lake hebron and also fished in monson pond with kayaks and canoe provided by Bill. Not much biting but grandpa caught a 17" trout in the pond on our 1st day. The swimming was the best....beautiful water and scenery with barely a soul on the pond. Kids enjoyed jumping off the dock. There was plenty of room for the 11 of us to spread out in main living area and screened porch. The sleeping area over porch was not really usable...more due to bugs at night than the heat which wasn't bad when we were there. 17 year old grandson slept on one of the porch couches and 23 year old granddaughter slept on living room couch...everyone else in the 3 remaining rooms. The loft area did have enough beds to have slept more than 4 that were up there. We enjoyed wathcing the hummingbirds at the feeders right outside the windows. We adapted surprisingly quickly to the several flights of stairs to the water....great workout coming back up....would not be a good fit for anyone with mobility issues but our granddaughter ran up and down them as a workout. Bill was by far the best host we've had in all the years of renting....super responsive to any concerns.

This is my family's second time staying here on Monson Pond. We thoroughly enjoyed our time at this special place. Similar to last year, we spent most of our time on the water, but did enjoy some local hiking. It rained most of the week we were there, but we didn't let it hinder our family time and enjoyment of the peaceful environment on the pond and beautiful surrounding area. Hope to return again next year!

Deeply Relaxing Fun and Entertaining
If you love birds, every morning they come right up to the back porch to grab food and do not mind that you're just two feet away. Southern flying squirrels at dawn, then red squirrels, chipmunks, red and white breastednuthatches, black capped chickadees, blue jays, hairy woodpeckers, American goldfinches, and droves of hummingbirds all come to visit the deck. You can watch the Bald Eagles flying across the shoreline and see the loons and merganser ducks swimming around diving under water right from the back deck. The stairs to the water are easy to go down and seem a bit daunting to get back up, but I'm not very healthy and was more than capable of climbing them daily cause it's worth the trip to the water. Water Shoes are a good idea for the adults getting in and out of water there are lots of flat but present rocks on shoreline. You can also jump into 6 foot deep water off the end of the dock. Very clean refreshing water body and enough kayaks and canoes for everyone big and tiny alike. Never a dull moment, there are lots of games and activities on site you'll never get board. Also a great fire pit out front for night time. If you turn off all the outside lights and look up, the stars are amazing beautiful and bountiful. I was awe struck. I left truly and deeply relaxed, a feeling I've definitely been needing.

This property is spacious and very peaceful and secluded. Beautiful views of Monson pond which was great for swimming, kayaking etc. The owner, Bill, was very welcoming and always available for any questions. Monson has many nearby hiking trails, antique shop and one of the best restaurants I have experienced anywhere (the Quarry). Would highly recommend!

Vacation week at Ledges Lodge
We had a wonderful week staying at Ledges Lodge. The cabin was so comfortable, the lake was beautiful and all that we could have wanted. "Wow" was the first word we all said when we walked through the door! The cabin is so uniquely decorated and felt so homey and friendly. Bill was always easy to reach and was so helpful making our stay at his cabin a great experience. The cabin was stocked with everything we could need and even the boats and oars were there for us to use. It was just a truly wonderful spot to vacation. We will certainly try to return to this amazing cabin in the woods! Thank you Bill for opening your home for us to enjoy.

Magical Monson Pond memories
My family (2 adults, 3 children) thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! We spent most of our time down on the water. During the few times it rained, simply relaxing at the house (reading, writing) or enjoying the magnificent view out the window over the water was just as lovely. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay, and aside from getting groceries and some trips to enjoy the hiking in the region – we had little need or desire to leave! Communication with Bill and the caretaker was wonderful, and they were most attentive to trying to make sure we were as comfortable as possible. We hope to be able to return and make many more memories there. Thank you to Bill for sharing his magical corner on Monson Pond.

Exactly as advertised (maybe even better)
I have always wanted to stay on a lake, so I found this cabin, and I was NOT disappointed. My family all came with me, and we so enjoyed Maine in the spring time. We climbed mountains, saw waterfalls, saw moose, caught fish, and listened to loons on the lake for hours and hours. This cabin is so awesome I can’t wait to go visit again. Very clean and super interesting with all the Knick-knacks inside. Great for kids with lots to do. Also, If you are there go to the restaurant The Quarry. Incredible food in a lovely town. Delightful, you will not be disappointed.

Don't let the pictures fool you!
The first thing I said when I walked through the door was "I LOVE it!". I wasn't sure what to expect but was so pleasantly surprised. If felt as if I was I was transported back in time to a lake home once owned by my family. It felt like home...not a rental. The privacy was amazing and appreciated. Was so relaxing to walk the grounds with my dogs who absolutely loved everything about the property (and were very disappointed when we had to leave). Mr. Everett was incredibly accommodating and a joy to rent from. We have rented many homes in the area over the past 10 years, but think we have finally found our "keeper". Having kayaks and canoes at our disposal was a huge bonus. If you want room to roam and spread out, this is the place. We look forward to going back next year or even sooner! My husband is already planning!

Incredible Spot
This was one of our most rewarding trips as a family. The property is located in a private area not too far from Monson and the beginning of the 100 Mile Wilderness on the AT. This place is a dream for kids 10 years and older. Everyday, we swam in the lake, we kayaked in the lake, and we fished in the lake. We also took many trips to Wilson Falls to jump off the rocks into the River pools. For excursions, we played tennis in Guilford, Abbot, and Dover. We also made trips into the Moosehead Lake area for lunch, ice cream, and moose safari(which was successful)!! We had dinner at the Lakehouse Pub which was awesome. The cabin is fantastic and you can never really get bored there. We played pool, played foosball, played air hockey, read books, playe CDs, watched VHS movies, played board games, watched hummingbirds, cooked out, made campfires, and exercised on the long stairs going down to the lake. The kids also enjoyed riding their mountain bikes up and down the driveway. Internet speed was not blazing fast but we didn’t expect it to be either. We found food markets in Greenville to be well stocked with everything we needed. Thank you Bill for being very accommodating ona wonderful stay.

Another Outstanding week at The Lodge on Monson Pond
This is our second year staying at the lodge and it was another fantastic week. The group consisted of 10 including my parents, my brothers family and my own. Everyone had a great time relaxing, swiming, floating, fishing, cooking, eating, watching the 10-20 humming birds at feeders at cocktail hour, listening to the loons, hiking and golfing. The owner is extremely attentive to your needs, helpful and responsive to the point of incorporating some of our recommendations for improvements from the year before.

Peaceful family get-away!
Three generations of our family ages 3 to 60 and our chocolate lab spent a week at Bill's beautiful property on Monson Pond in July. The cabin was absolutely perfect for our group. It was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. There was room for everyone to spread out but also allowed for us all to sit together for meals and such. If you are a dog owner, there was no concern about being off lead and bothering neighbors etc. You are completely secluded far away from anyone around you! Our group enjoyed fishing, kayaking and swimming in Monson pond. The water was so clean, clear and refreshing. The steps to access the pond definitely helped keep our group in shape throughout the week! The sounds of the loons at night were amazing and the view of the stars also incredible from the back porch. We had a couple cold rainy days that week but we still had a great time. The game room on the side porch included fuseball, air hockey and pool which was enjoyed by all. The cabin also had lots of games, books , movies and and so many whimsical things to look at. Every day we would all point out something new that we had not noticed the day before! Venturing out of the cabin, we enjoyed the quaint town of Monson. The town hall even opened up their indoor gym for our entire crew to use one morning for a game of basketball! Moosehead lake was about 20 minutes up the road and we enjoyed a day exploring that area as well. Lots of places to shop, places to eat, moose and ATV tours. Also a great little supermarket/trading post. If you are looking for a peaceful get-away to unplug, enjoy nature and the people you are with you will love this property! The owner was also was very attentive from the day we booked the property to the day we checked out. Our group would love to return to Monson and Bill's cabin again some day!
