About this property

Large New Lakeside Cottage Central Air

Come visit the beautiful Belgrade Lakes area and stay in this big new 5 bedroom 2 bath camp. The home underwent substantial upgrades in 2024. Both bathrooms were completely redone and walls have been refinished in v-match pine. There's a washer/dryer and a heat pump for a/c. There are new beds and stylishly furnished rooms, as can be seen in the pictures. The large modern kitchen is fully stocked. There is one small bedroom upstairs where the walls are not yet finished, like the camps of yesteryear. The bedroom on the main floor also has exposed 2x4s and is the only one without light switches but there are lamps.

We ask that guests bring their own sheets and towels, but for those coming from far away, or would just prefer it, we provide sheets and towels for the stay for a fee. This cottage has some higher-end finishes and modern conveniences such as new central air conditioning in the main area, a dishwasher, washer/dryer, and 2 full modern bathrooms.

It is furnished stylishly in certain rooms, but also comfortably. There is a deck with gas BBQ grill.

The home is situated as close to the water as new rules will allow, 100 ft from the lake, surrounded mostly by trees with peeks of the water. The private waterfront area which is exclusive to guests consists of a swimming area and dock extending out over the water. There is also an offshore boat mooring for your boat.

The main level offers a modern open floor plan with living room, dining room, and kitchen all in one space. The main level also has two french doors opening to a deck overlooking the lake, providing a perfect to spot to BBQ, relax, read a book, or just enjoy the wonderful natural setting. There is a bedroom with a queen size bed located on the main level and the first floor bathroom is also located on the main level. The bedroom and bathroom on the first level can be closed to the kitchen, like a suite.

Up the stairs there are four bedrooms. Three of the bedrooms have queen beds. One bedroom has 2 single beds. There is a bathroom with shower and tub on the second floor. The laundry are is also on the second floor.

Tons of Fun at the Waterfront

From this very popular location on the Eastern side of Pinkham's Cove, you can boat all over Great Pond, ride your boat in to Belgrade Lakes village, and enjoy picture-perfect sunsets.

The Belgrade Lakes area is known best as the inspiration for the story and film On Golden Pond. The lakes in the area (7 beautiful interconnected lakes) offer great boating, fishing, water skiing and of course swimming.

Enjoy the day at the lake or going through the countryside shopping for treasures and antiquing. If you prefer a game of golf, the highly acclaimed Belgrade Lakes Golf Course is located just minutes away. A day trip to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Boothbay Harbor, Freeport, Rockland, or Camden lets you enjoy more of what the great State of Maine has to offer and are all easily accessible from Belgrade.

Bring your boat or rent one and spend the day on any one of the seven incredible and beautiful lakes in the area. Boat/kayak rentals are easily available at several locations nearby.

Please note: During the summer, our guest rentals run Saturday to Saturday.
Sheets and Towels are not ordinarily supplied. Bedspread, blankets and pillows are supplied. We ask that guests bring their own sheets, towels, paper towels, and toilet paper.

Relaxing lakeside escape

Beautiful cabin for our family group vacation! Met all of our needs and more! Spacious open floor plan - never felt cramped! Enjoyed time on the deck and on the dock! Beautiful setting tucked in the woods- feel like we were the only people there! Host is great! Hope to return for sure! Close to Waterville and Augusta as well as Belgrade lakes village! Sad that our week is over!

Nice rustic location

The house is large and has a great open floor plan on the main floor. Overall it was quite comfortable. There was bottled water available. The appliances are pretty new. The dock area was a beautiful place to hang out. The house is still under construction and needs additional finishing. For example, some rooms don't have a main light or switch. The kitchen could use some more cooking supplies like mixing bowls. The mini-split cooled the downstairs well, but didn't reach upstairs.

Needs a lot

The description as far as how many bedrooms and bathrooms is accurate, but what it does not tell you is there are no outlets in the bathrooms nor is there any electric in the upstairs bathroom. The house was not clean. There is one outlet in the bedroom downstairs with an extension cord for the lights. No outside furniture for the deck off the living room. Owner does not seem overly concerned about these things. My suggestion before renting is ask a lot of questions. The table cloth on the dining room table was filthy, the washer and dryer were not hooked up for use. And you can see outside from the downstairs bedroom as well as the upstairs bedroom at the top of the stairs. Good luck with signing onto the WiFi.

Second Stay

This was our second stay at this property for an annual fishing trip. Property is nice for the price. Honestly, it could use some more furnishings. Very few dishes, utensils, cups etc. Outside grill was dirty and had no propane. Inside was clean on arrival, but definitely needs some TLC. Overall would stay again.

Will be nice property when finished

Nice location on the lake. Quiet. Cabin is rustic but it is also unfinished. The downstairs bedroom and bathroom only have painted subflooring - there is not finish flooring. All of the bedrooms have exposed studs and wiring. The shower in the only bathroom leaks and has created a mold problem on the floor and the base plate of the wall. The circuit breaker that controls the bathroom light and two kitchen outlets sometimes trips after taking a shower. It happened several times during our stay after the temperature dropped. It took up to a day for the circuit to dry out so the breaker could be reset. There are multiple electric switches that do not power anything at this time. There are electric fireplaces in the master bedroom upstairs and the downstairs bedroom that are nice and functional. The heat pump was awaiting parts for repair so it was a bit cool a couple of mornings. In general, the fit and finish of the cabin was substandard.

Solid stay

We had a great stay at John’s property. Definitely a few things that could use some updating, but overall a solid stay. John was a very responsive and helpful host. The AC was great to have on the hot days, the bedrooms are all spread out which was great, and the location on the lake was perfect for our family trip.

No comfy touches in this very rustic house

This large property seems more unfinished than just rustic. You can see through some spots in the walls, and the sliding screens had large gaps that let in a lot of bugs. Also, the sparse furnishings were dirty and uncomfortable. On a positive note, the location was very private with a beautiful view of the lake. This would be a better choice for a bunch of guys on a fishing trip.

Nice place, big comfortable house

We had a great time at the house. Liked that it is relatively new with simple furnishings and lots of space. The dock area is great and we spent a lot of time there with our dog. nice for sunsets. The lake is beautiful and the water was warm and clear. It is rocky at the shore, but fine for swimming. The adjacent houses were empty so it was very quiet. Bed was very comfortable, shower was good, everything worked well, kitchen could use a few more supplies but it was fine for us. Overall a good place and we enjoyed our few days there.

Great Stay!

Had a great time at this property! The house was clean and was perfect for a week on the lake. The start of the week was very hot and humid but the AC in the house kept us nice and comfortable. The house listing is accurate, we had no surprises while we were there. We brought our boat, there is a nice public launch nearby and the mooring at the house worked out very well. Overall a great place to get away!

Fantastic Vacation Rental

We all had a wonderful time. The house was open and airy, with lots of windows and an amazing deck that looked out onto the lake! There is even a piano which was an extra treat for those musically inclined. There is a picnic table down at the dock and the lake water was crystal clear. The owner, John responded to all my questions about the house in a timely fashion. The walk down to the lake through the woods is steep. This did not affect our stay. Just a warning for others if walking is a problem. If you decide to come, hope your visit will be as great as ours! Cheers!

Some issues

First we were disappointed that the futon was not in the room as shown in the picture in the King room. The two twin beds in room #3, while the mattresses may be ok for small children are unusable for adults. We had to go and purchase blow-up mattresses. The shower stall in the bathroom leaked something awful thus has created large amounts of black mold along the wood floor and under the vanity. Upon arrival it was discovered the refrigerator was extremely disgusting and needed a good cleaning before we could use it. I say these things as constructive criticism for the owner to improve issues he may not be aware of. Other than that the house and location were great and the dock and swimming area were great. All in all we had a great time and made memories for a lifetime. The Belgrade area is an excellent area to vacation. With these easy fixes I would recommend this place to anyone.

A great camp on Great Pond!

We came to Gables End for the first time this year. The road was absolutely fine (we passed two other vehicles easily during our stay) and there have been improvements since last year with a microwave and dishwasher: everything worked fine. The house was spotless when we arrived, although you could tell that the owner is continuing to work on the place. We enjoyed sitting on the deck and having our coffee in the morning and the stove and oven (electric) made dinners a breeze. One night we cooked steaks and corn on the gas grill. The walk down to the lakefront was easy enough, although the less steady among us tred gingerly. The Persied meteor shower was happening while we were there (first and second week of. August) and we spent several hours on our backs on the dock watching for shooting stars. The water is exceptionally clear and there were a few floats left for our use, but we had to bring our own kayaks and managed to rent a boat for the week, Fishing was good and my brother-in-law caught a 2 lb smallmouth bass from the dock with his first cast on the first morning! After that, we hired a fishing guide to take us out for half-a-day so we could learn the ropes. Very fun! Opportunities for improvement: There is only one bathroom and that took some getting used to and some accommodation. The exhaust hood on the kitchen was not hooked up yet. And the internet service in the neighborhood was being repaired the week we were there so we never got solid wifi service, although our phones worked fine when needed. But these were minor to us and did not interfere with our fun. Highly recommended

Every homeowner should be as attentive as John Enditcott

We have been renting homes in Maine each summer for past 4 years. We have never had a bad experience so far. This property did have a few surprises for us, however, John was extremely efficient in taking care of each and every request graciously. The home was not as equipped as we are used to renting, as it is a work in progress. Parts of the home are not yet complete. That being said, we were very comfortable and had a very relaxing family vacation. The deck was our favorite place to sit and have coffee in the morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Beautiful and peaceful. If you have a very large vehicle, one thing to keep in mind.... the roadway to the property was a bit of a challenge. It is only one car width wide. It has a lot of blind curves.... you need to go very slow. That is the trade off if you are looking for a secluded rental Maine! We enjoyed our stay at Gables End Cottage.

Spacious Home on Great Lake

Very large home right on the water. Check in process was great as well communication with owner. Comfortable beds, but do opt for the sheets and towels with the rental. Only things we missed were a washer/dryer, microwave and the ability to have a camp fire which we are used to at other weekly rentals.

STAY AWAY!! Owner trying to sell it, just wants your $

Staying at this property was a terrible experience for us. We have 15 years of experience staying with VRBO and other vacation rentals and by far, this was the first time we walked away feeling like we were robbed. - The owner was unresponsive and RUDE - The property was VERY dirty, unclean - The back bed does not have a frame, it is just laid on the plywood unfinished flooring. (NO BED FRAME?) - The only bathroom is unfinished, painted plywood floor, there is mold because the owner has not fixed the water leaking issue and it is causing wood rot and mold. The bathroom has no mats or even one facecloth dry the leak from the shower. You'll have to use your own towels to do this. - The wood frame inside has not been cleaned or wiped down with a rag in a year. Very dirty. Dead bugs and dirt on every window frame. WE arrived to the property and found there were NO SCREENS on the four deck doors so we could not keep the doors open to have airflow. It was 80-90 degrees all week so we actually went out and purchased two screen doors and installed them. Owner said he would reimburse us but he has not responded in two weeks. The owner did not provide any floor fans in the house to help with circulation so renters need to buy them or bring their own. There is VERY LITTLE circulation in the house, especially with no screen doors. (we left the screen doors so now they have them) Day 2 started out with raw sewage overflowing from the septic tank. took an ENTIRE DAY to have the sewage company come out to pump the tank. We could not take showers, use the toilet, run water, and the smell was overpowering inside the hosue. Owner said to suck it up and would not give us any discount due to being greatly inconvenienced by this experience. - There is a one to two mile drive into the house from the main road and there are only one or two spots to allow you to pull over if another car is coming from the opposite direction. It is nuts to have to reverse for half a mile to let another car pass you! Try doing it in a class B RV. NOT FUN! - The walk down to the lake is pretty steep, tiring coming up from the lake a few times in a row. - The kitchen is nice BUT the refrigerator is on the fritz and does not keep its cool on hot days. - The dishwasher is broken and if you open the door, the plastic dish racks fly out at you and the heavy door slams down. - There is NO microwave. - There are very few electrical outlets in the cabin,
