Belgrade Lakes Cottage w/ Long Pond beach access close to Augusta, Colby College

Welcome to Cedar Cottage in the Wildwood Estates lake community with two private Long Pond access (Long Pond is actually a large lake, note this property is not lakefront). Spend time on the pristine lake with the provided boats and paddle boards, or hiking to a breathtaking summit nearby. If you seek privacy, Cedar Cottage rests in a bright, grassy clearing surrounded by an acre of trees. Enjoy evenings under the abundant stars by the fire ring or grilling on the wide, spacious deck. Close to the adorable hamlet of Belgrade Lakes with its restaurants, shops and golf course. Very close to the Travis Mills Foundation complex. Twenty miles to Augusta, Farmington or Waterville and Colby College with its renowned free Art Museum and brand new Performing Arts Center.
Cedar Cottage is perfect for a peaceful family getaway, a graduation celebration, a gathering of friends, or just some quiet time in the woods. Guests enjoy walking down to the lake to swim, listening for loons and stargazing. You will have a canoe, two kayaks and two paddle boards to get you out on the water, and the nearby Kennebec Highland Trails are highly recommended. Kids enjoy the sandy beach, playground and weed free swimming areas with swim platforms and docks. We supply beach toys, books, LEGOs, games and movies for all ages!
No WiFi: Embrace the Maine Woods without wi-fi; however, should you need to stay connected, cell phone reception is excellent (tech savvy guests have used wi-fi hotspots to stream). Sleeps six in bedrooms and eight if the living room euro-style couch is used. Well behaved dogs welcome everywhere except the beach (they can visit the lake at the small boat launch :) No tobacco, vaping or marijuana smoking permitted.
The cottage is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and an ironing board.

Beautiful clear lake

The Belgrade Lakes region lives up to the hype and this was a great base to explore the area from with a very attentive host and alot of small touches to sweeten the stay. It was a good size for our multi-generational family to enjoy our week of vacation. The canoe saw a lot of use as the lake provided some good fishing. The camp is about 30min from everything. Would recommend highly.

A lovely place for a weekend

We spent a beautiful fall weekend at Cedar Estates, the house was clean and very well equipped, as described in the listing. We enjoyed a nice campfire on Saturday night at the fire pit. Our 2 dogs really enjoyed exploring and running outside as well! Clean sheets and towels, hot water - lovely overall!

Well stocked Lovely Retreat

We enjoyed this peaceful spacious retreat before and after a busy, crowd filled musical venue adventure! Kind gestures abound...lovely wine, smores makings, great coffee (and coffee-making options ;), dry firewood and attentive Hosts when we needed them! The short walk to the beach was also just what we needed! Thank~you! :)

Thank you for your responsiveness. Lovely decor and interior, nice art, the place looks good. We loved the screened-in porch, extra camping chairs, and dog-friendly space. The kitchen was poorly equipped, missing basic essentials, probably set up by people who don't cook. The place was farther from the lakeshore than I imagined. There is no wifi. Thank you for the eco conscious cleaning supplies and fragrance free detergent. We were very happy about access to kayaks, paddle boards, life vests and paddles.

Great value, owner is easy to work with

2 full bathrooms, 3 bedrooms that sleep 6. For the price you can’t beat it. The beach is a very short drive with plenty of parking and private to the community. The lake is perfect and clean. The little extra touches for me are what make it 5 stars- bedding and towels provided. S’mores stuff provided. Firewood provided. Easy check in and check out. Wine left for us. Dog friendly! My only suggestion for improvement would be an upgrade to the bed in the master, maybe a king or even a queen with a thicker mattress.

Vacation Getaway

Very nice home. Very spacious and fully stocked for our family. The beach is a few minutes walk, you can also drive and park there which takes about a minute, it was very beautiful! We we able to bring down some chairs and snacks and spent the day swimming and hanging out on the floating docks. You are allowed to bring your dogs for a walk on the road and trails but they are not allowed on the beach. We had the best time sitting around the fire and cooking out. Lots of board games were provided which we throughly enjoyed. I found it very peaceful and relaxing. We were very pleased to find this home so last minute that allowed us to bring our dogs.

We were really disappointed with our stay. The photos do not reflect the current state of the house which is not well maintained.Upon arrival, we were met with a strong musty smell like the place hadn’t been aired out in weeks.The listing mentioned towels, but what we found were moldy-smelling and unpleasant to use. All the closets were in disarray, with no rods or shelves to store clothes. While the sheets were clean and the kitchen looked okay (though we didn’t use it), the rest of the house was not. Furniture surfaces were dusty, and there was visible hair and dust under the beds and in the bathrooms.When we arrived, we realized there was no WiFi, even though it was listed under the amenities. I contacted the owner, who pointed out that the description says “no WiFi.” Since we were visiting friends, I hadn’t focused on that section as it mostly described local activities. I later saw the note about no WiFi at the end of the summary. Still, most renters rely on the amenities list, and the listing should be accurate and consistent throughout.There was also no communication from the owner, aside from our brief WiFi exchange. In all my past Airbnb and VRBO stays, owners typically check in to make sure guests have arrived safely, or leave a welcome note or small touch.This property does not reflect the standard we’ve experience with other rentals. The listing should be updated to accurately reflect the home’s current condition and amenities.
