Light-Filled Log Home, 4 Wooded Acres, & Lake Access. The water is 0.4 mi away.

A quintessential Maine retreat, filled with the natural beauty of wood and sunlight and all the comforts you desire. Enjoy your coffee on the deck, breakfast on the screened porch, and a dip into David Pond any time you like(well, in the winter you can ice fish and snowshoe) just a short walk down the road, 4/10 of a mile away to the association’s common area on the lake, David Pond. Treat yourself to true quiet, true darkness, and stars so bright you feel that you can almost touch them.

This beautiful log cabin sits on four wooded acres surrounded by hundreds more, with lakes in every direction. Sunlight streams into the gracious main floor through large trapezoidal windows above and two sliding doors to the generous wrap-around deck. The living area is open space concept, kitchen-dining-living, with a majestic cathedral ceiling and an adjacent furnished screen porch/sunroom. Also on the main floor is a bedroom with a log double bed and single bunk above, the main bathroom, and a 24 inch TV for keeping up with the news while you make dinner.

Upstairs in the master bedroom, wake up in your comfy log queen bed and catch the sunrise through the upper windows. Enjoy your own half-bath, sitting room with loveseat that opens to a single bed, with plenty of room for a pack 'n play if needed. A highchair, crib, toddler bed, and various other baby items are available upon your request. All closets and dressers are fully available for your use throughout the house.

On the lower level, but still above ground, is a large family room(or third bedroom) with a double futon, 48 inch TV with sound bar, DVD player and small DVD library. From there a doorway to the outside takes you to the front lawn on the right, or to the outdoor shower with a wooden privacy screen on the left. If you have never taken a shower under the sky, you are in for a treat! Of course there is a shower inside as well.

From the house you can walk, mountain bike, snowshoe, or cross country ski through a beautiful conservation area forest to Basin Pond and beyond. Nearby are many established and maintained well-marked hiking trails, snowmobile trails, mountains to climb, golf courses, lakes for boating, and even a wild animal park. You'll enjoy a sense of peace and seculsion while knowing that you can still hop in the car and go out to a great coffee spot if you wish. The Olde Post Office Cafe is only a 10 minute drive north in quaint Mount Vernon village written up in DownEast magazine. The Apple Shed Bakery is 6 miles in the other direction, in the village of Kents Hill, with a wide assortment of bakery treats, ice cream, gormet premade dinners, gifts, wine, beer, handmade jellies and jambs and stoneware, breads, coffee, farmfresh yogurts, and milk items, pizza, lobster rolls on summer weekends, and much more.

Extensive shopping is available at two Augusta exits from I95, Exits 109 and 112(25 minutes away) as well as a vast array of restaurants and an award winning health club and spa. Freeport, home of L.L. Bean and a host of other outlet stores, is 45 minutes south. A trip to the coast, or to Portland, or to Sugarloaf ski area takes about 90 minutes. Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and Baxter State Park are farther away but worth the ride.

You will emerge from this vacation rested and refreshed, having seen stars brighter than you can remember. You will leave the state truly understanding the highway sign slogan at the border that reads, "Maine, worth a visit, worth a lifetime".

We had a fantastic stay. This log cabin was perfect for our family and was dog friendly. We enjoyed the privacy of this property and all the features it had. Perfect sunrises and sunsets. We even enjoyed the short walk to the lake for a swim and canoeing. Bob H.

Beautiful and Quiet Maine Retreat
We had a wonderful time for our winter holiday at Rock and Jen's cabin. The owners were so communicative during our booking and travel to the area, especially since there had been winter weather concerns. Everything at their cabin was just as listed and we found everything we needed for our stay. This cabin is in such a quiet and beautiful spot near the lake, it made for the perfect retreat with our kids. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it for anyone for a lovely stay in Maine!

Perfect retreat
My family spent a week at this beautiful cabin. It was tucked away in the woods but close to town and activities. We enjoyed the lake by canoe and kayaks that were provided. It was so peaceful. The cabin itself was clean and well stocked with extra blankets, sheets and towels. Although we didn’t need them, I noticed a toddler bed, high chair and and extra mattress. The screened in porch was a great place to spend the evening. We will definitely come back again!!

Nice cabin for cooler weather. The lake is about a half mile away but it is beautiful. The small air conditioner in the bedroom was noisy and didn't cool down the cabin. Luckily the weather changed and it was more comfortable after a couple of days.

Log Cabin near peaceful pond
Serene setting - in the woods but part of a community of owners. The shared access to David Pond is beautiful, a short drive or walk away. We sat there and read and drew the gorgeous setting, listening for the loons. It felt like we had it all to ourselves! The cabin is well-equipped, comfortable and we slept well. Don’t miss the new Scapes Restaurant in Mt. Vernon (in same location as the Old Post office Cafe) and the Apple Shed in Kent Hills for soups, baked goods etc. a very calming place and setting a bit away from the Belgrade Lakes scene. We loved our summer weeklong stay.

What a wonderful place! This cozy cabin in the woods is incredibly peaceful and serene. The hosts are helpful and kind and have thought of so many little things to make the stay complete…from stabilizers for your shoes on the ice to dog bowls for your pup. Thank you for a great stay!

Wonderful cozy cabin
We loved every minute of our stay at Rock and Jenn's log cabin. The cabin had everything we needed - fully stocked kitchen even with spices/misc pantry items. Any cooking items we needed (pans/pots/kettle/even a cheese grater & cucumber peeler) were all found easily. My husband especially appreciated the french press for coffee as that is how he prefers to brew his coffee (there was a regular coffee maker and a Nespresso available too). The shower has great water pressure and stayed hot even with back to back showers. The propane stove was nice to gaze at the flames and feel the warmth yet really easy to use with just a thermostat. The property is so peaceful - especially since we lucked out and had snow during our visit! We communicated with Rock regarding the snow and the plow showed up quickly to make sure we could get up and down the driveway safely. We ventured out and had lots of fun skiing and tubing at Black Mountain of Maine. Snowshoeing at the Quarry Road Trails (waterfront trail) was absolutely beautiful - and a good workout! Favorite restaurant of the trip was "Salt & Pepper and sugar too" in Wilton - varied menu with items to please meat eaters and vegans. The dessert specials were also fantastic! We also enjoyed dinner at "Tavern on the Hill 305" in Winthrop as well as potato soup + shepherd's pie from Apple Shed Kitchen and Bakery (to heat up back at the cabin). Our last day included a visit to "Freckle Salvage" which is a great store in Winthrop - they have antiques as well as new items as well as hand-made items - a really special place and large enough to be worth the stop! We highly recommend this cozy cabin in Maine - we enjoyed the winter season but it seems it would be equally wonderful in the warmer months. Thank you Rock and Jenn!

Fall Weekend
This log home was perfect! Super clean and well stocked with everything you could possibly think of. I spent a fall weekend away with my 3 daughters and we had a fabulous time. We canoed, kayaked, visited the cute town of Hallowell, watched spooky movies, cooked, hiked and laughed a lot. It was simply perfect!

My wife and I have used VRBO (and one of it's competitors) for stays all over the country, and this was by far the most accurate and well appointed stays we've ever had. Communication with Rock & Jenn was spot on, the cabin was clean, comfortable, and had all the little things you may have forgotten to bring with or pick up at the local store. The lake was so quiet and serene it almost seemed unreal. We will be back for sure!

This home was just what we'd hoped, based on all the other reviews. We were very happy once we got there, and had a great weekend. The home was very well stocked...probably the most stocked rental property I've been to. Very clean and tidy! The lake is beautiful and we had a very relaxing paddleboard around it. If we are in the area again, we surely will return!
