Lakefront home with seasonal dock & deck - close to trails & ocean beaches

Retreat to the scenic shores of Little Pond at this two-bedroom Sanford home, a lakefront property with a lovely deck, and a wonderful location for hiking, snowshoeing, or lounging on nearby ocean beaches.

This cheerful red home sits on 100 feet of lakefront on the eastern banks of Little Pond, offering a private pier for kayakers. Take morning strolls to explore the hiking trails in the 600-acre Fenderson Wildlife Commons, spend an afternoon or two antiquing in downtown Wells nine miles east, or take an 11-mile drive to sunbathe and swim in the ocean at Ogunquit Beach, Crescent Beach, or Footbridge Beach.

An ideal escape for summer vacationers or fall foliage enthusiasts, this home offers casual comfort with views of the lake and forest. Begin each morning with homemade pancakes in the full kitchen (with a dishwasher) and six-person dining space, use the free WiFi to check the day's weather report.

Spend the day paddling Little Pond in your kayak and retreating to the deck to read, play board games, or share an al fresco lunch. Watch a spectacular sunset over the lake before moving indoors to enjoy the TV and DVD player. (Please note that the two floors of this home are connected by a narrow spiral staircase, but that baby gates are provided for your peace of mind.)

Make yourself at home on the shores of Little Pond - begin planning your Maine vacation today!

Lovely cottage with beautiful views of the lake. The only real drawbacks were the horrible smell of the water and there was only a single television with limited channels. All in all a wonderful cottage. It really is as pretty as the pictures We would definitely like to return.

Nice place to stay

This is a nice cabin home in a great area. We had 20 minutes ride to everywhere we were going. The pond is lovely. Beds comfortable, well stocked home, bonus to have a washer/dryer and overall really good. There is a spiral staircase to the downstairs bedroom and living room. Super tight quarters on that staircase. Other than that, solidly good and easy to book and manage.

Cute cottage

Cute cottage on a pond, other reviews that mention the tricky spiral staircase are spot on. We managed, but definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone elderly. A powder room (or even a full bath, there's room for it) would be a wonderful addition to the lower level. Neighbors are very close, but wasn't really an issue, if you're sitting on the patio or deck you don't see them.

Not worth the money

Dangerous, steep, narrow spiral staircase. Couldn't open windows because only one screen in the whole house. 2 floors but only one bathroom. Noisy a/c in master bedroom, had to wear ear plugs to sleep. Hardwood picnic table uncomfortable to eat on. Main floor living room furniture very uncomfortable. Downstairs living room and second bedroom were nicer than the main floor but because of spiral staircase would not use. Three young boys in house next door very nice but also very noisy all day. Definitely not worth the money. We could have stayed in a hotel for less but no hotel nearby.

Dont go for relaxation

Check in was fine but property was subpar. Rust at every sink and in the shower. The water smelled of rotten eggs. There old fishing lines with hooks all over the dock. Also there was no floating dock as pictured. Fire pit is rusted out and falling apart so we didnt dare use it. Upstairs TV which is the main living area is really only for movies so bring some DVDs incase its a rainy day. Neighbors children are very loud from sunrise until they go to bed. You will also hear the grandmother and grandfather frequently yelling. If that doesnt hinder on your relaxing the kids will constantly be talking to you if you go outside and unfortunately does not respond to boundaries. Im not talking like once or twice but constantly wanting to interact. Also on check out day I needed to make two trips before leaving. And when I cam back to get the rest of my stuff (2 hours until check out time) the neighbor had folded up and was carrying my very large party float across the lawn. I would not recommend this place to anyone but most definitely not for what I paid. I have tried to upload photos but they will not accept them.

A nice place, but...

This was a nice camp on the pond. We had everything we needed. It was close to things to do. The air conditioning worked well during the 90 degree humid days. The deck with the patio set was very nice to enjoyed our morning coffee and afternoon beverages. We enjoyed the dock ramp and floating around the pond on floats. One big annoyance while we stayed there...This is advertised as a quiet place. It is noted "this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected" It would be quiet if the neighbor’s children did not yell all day long. Their house is in very close proximity to this camp. They knew no other volume. One day, one of them rode up and down and up and down the street in front of the camp on a mini dirt bike until he finally crashed into the trees beside the camp. Then that noise was done for that day. The air conditioner did a decent job to drown them out if you were inside. The camp itself was clean, but would have been nice if the bird droppings on the chairs on the lower patio were cleaned. The owner should really do something about the water in the camp. After a day, you find it really smelly. Yes, there is a faucet for drinking, but showering or just washing your face with it was terrible! It was a nice place, but keep in mind the things we noted if you choose to stay there.

staircase

the property was fine, but I was surprised how close the neighbors were. This was hidden by careful planning of the photographs. The only interior issue was the spiral staircase and the only bathroom on the second floor. This staircase was diffficult/dangerous to navigate. With the possibility of 4 people staying on the first floor, I strongly suggest creating a half bathroom on the first floor.

Awesome little hideaway

At first we thought the tv being downstairs was a negative. That said we did not turn it on for the 4 days we were there. It was clean, bright and views of lake were what we wanted. Everything worked. Only drawback I have is no measuring spoons or measuring cups. We solved that with a short hop to Ocean State for $4. Didn’t fish or use the lake but our purpose was to unwind and vegetate which it worked fine for.

Lake house

The house was spotless beds were comfortable everything is where it needs to be except for a big chef's knife, also the diving platform wasn't in place in the lake. The fishing was wonderful got some small largemouth bass and a most beautiful trout catch and release of course. Thank you for the wonderful place to stay.

Enjoyable with caveats

The property was as pictured, but in a very cluttered neighborhood. The television was a floor below the living area with a very difficult tiny spiral staircase. Instead of using it, we exited the back door, climbed a staircase onto the deck and entered the street level kitchen. The bathroom and towels need updating. The water had a strong iron taste. We recommend bottled water. The property was spotlessly clean.

Absolutely need a canoe or kayak to enjoy the “lake”, it’s really a pond. The water smells like sulfur and it wasn’t cleaned to our liking. Location is fine if you want to spend a lot of time at house, but not if you want to spend a lot of time at the coastal areas.

Mixed review

Regarding the property itself, it was lovely. The home is much more spacious than I expected it to be. Fully stocked kitchen. All linens are there, plus extras. The bedrooms are very large. Yes, the water has a funny smell. The biggest things that i wished I had known in advance were - 1, there is no floating dock. Not sure why it’s in the pictures. 2, there is no actual beach or sandy area. It’s all dense brush and small trees. Then there’s about a two foot wide opening where you can walk into the lake. Otherwise, you can walk out onto the dock and get into the water there. The water is quite shallow by the dock, so it’s easy to get in and out. The water is mucky there though, it’s not sand. So we entered the water by stepping onto our floats and heading out to deep water. Bring floats!! We had so much fun in the deeper part of the lake. My husband also fished and caught quite a few. The neighbors are very close, but even still, the lake is so peaceful. Most of the time we were on the lake alone! House stays cool with window a/c’s and fans. Other than the beach/dock issues, our only real complaint is that we didn’t have hot water the first two days. I would have been fine to chalk this up to bad luck, had it been handled quickly and professionally by staff. I had to call four times to get assistance (they kept telling me a local agent would call back and one never did). When the local agent finally called she was very rude. The next day i received an apology and a hundred dollar refund offer. My husband says that even still, he would stay again, and I tend to agree. The house and lake were a lot of fun!

Little Get a way

I brought 4 teenage boys ages 12-14 with me for a little get a way. The cottage is in a perfect location, close to the lake. There is a beautiful deck with table and chairs as well to sit and relax on. There is a fireplace as well with Adirondack chairs. The owners provided some floats too which was great to use in the lake. There was a dock that my kids fished off of. The kitchen is stocked well with a lot of extras like flour, sugar, tea, coffee and some Keurig coffees too. the coffeemaker is a Keurig. Also had tin foil, spices, plastic bags etc for the kitchen. the bathroom also had a lot of toilet paper which is rare for a vacation home. AC was upstairs, downstairs there were fans. The TV is downstairs as well which my kids loved. The laundry room has washer/dryer with laundry detergent pods as well. This was a great location so close to the lake, peaceful and quiet. Great little get a way! Very clean too. I will def go back again!
