About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Privacy, relaxation, four-season, waterfront, 4 bed, 2 bath camp on Quimby Pond

Follow Chestnut Lane's winding dirt road to the second to last cabin on the left. Here you'll find the Dragonflies Den, haven of solitude nestled on the quiet shores of Quimby Pond. You can choose to park at the upper overflow lot, or down on the gravel driveway next to the rough sawn lumber shed and garage. You'll find a boat rack well stocked with canoes, kayaks, life jackets, swim floats and such. Open the front door to the cabin and you're greeted with a well-appointed kitchen. To your right is the laundry room. You can hang your outdoor gear in one of the two coat closets just inside the door. Down the hallway to your right are the four bedrooms, consisting of two queen bedrooms, one bedroom with two twin beds, and one bedroom with a twin bunk bed. Amongst these is the first full bath. Back down the hall and across from the kitchen you'll find the dining room, with a rustic picnic table next to a beautiful stone fireplace, both with a palatial view out a large window of placid Quimby Pond. Enjoy your meals as you watch ducks doing the same off the front lawn, while the loons glide across the surface of the water in the background. Through a small door you find the last of our rooms, the spacious Gathering Room. Here we have a couch, loveseat and oversized armchair, all power recline with a 50-inch TV, DVD player, and collection of DVDs. Prefer something a little more low-key? There's also a varied selection of books, board games, or just warm your feet by the wood stove, enjoying the views out of the numerous windows. But what else is there to do? Spring brings legendary fly fishing just out your front door. Summer fishing continues with the addition of swimming, hiking, biking, wildlife watching and motor sports. The town comes to life as well with a wide variety of delicious restaurants, theater, beaches and recreational activities. Autumn approaching? Here the leaf peeping can’t be beat, and wildlife abounds as deer, bear, birds and such ready themselves for winter. As we move into the last season Rangely turns into a haven for snowmobilers. With original taxidermy and rustic art throughout this camp, along with the rare privacy of this property you’re assured a vacation you won’t soon forget.
During your stay at this cabin, you'll be close to Bald Mountain Trailhead. Free WiFi and a kitchen are available in the cabin.

A very nice stay, the week was very wet but we had lots of fun.
We would like to say a few things that were somewhat negative, we are very sorry to say what we want the hostess and others to know about about our stay. After the first night we realized that we had SEVERAL MICE running around. We must have seen over 13 as we were watching a video. Yes we went and bought mice traps and caught many of them. Also when we were grilling outdoors the second night the propane tank ran out of gas on us. Having the canoes and kayaks was wonderful. The stove was amazing and the dishwasher the very best. All in all it was a delightful vacation, mostly in the RAIN, but that sure is not anyones fault!! Thank you hostess.

Great Place for a Maine Getaway!
The property is well equipped for a fun family stay. Plenty of bedrooms. A very comfortable living room that is well stocked with books, even for kids, and a good video library. The canoes and kayaks were great to explore the pond. It was fun finding the ducks, frogs and dragonfly's while paddling around the pond. The kitchen was well equipped, and the commercial grade stove made preparing food easy. I would definitely return again. Thanks to the host Melanie for helping make great family memories.

Perfect family house on a pond
This house was perfect for my relaxing family vacation, we went kayaking, and relaxed outside for most of the day in the warm sun and at night had a camp fire with smores. The inside of the house was spacious and fit all 6 comfortably.

10/10!
I really enjoyed staying here. The house was very clean and the kitchen in particular was really wonderful. Cooking at the stove with a view of the water was amazing! The water isn’t super great for swimming and because it is so shallow we saw a couple leeches but one of my friends did go swimming though and enjoyed it! Several of us kayaked and it was really great for kayaking. There were 7 of us total and it fit us all very comfortably. There’s also excellent opportunity for seeing a lot of wildlife. We saw a bald eagle swim in the water and catch a fish which was so cool! The property is secluded and very private, but not far from town. It’s also pretty close to Rangeley Lake State Park and we spent an afternoon there - it is stunning there and the water is perfect. I definitely recommend staying here.

Peace and quiet on the pond!
A very quiet and pleasant location. Very comfortable camp, nice beds, well stocked kitchen, nice new appliances. It is right on the water which we loved. We also loved that the pond is motor boat free so all we heard were the loons. Great camp and will definitely be going back again.

The camp is spacious with an exceptional floor plan. The kitchen and dining area is awesome with a well designed and applianced kitchen and a beautiful view of the pond. The bedrooms were ample with modern beds and very good lighting. Two full baths were updated, clean and enjoyable. A separate spacious area for relaxing had abundant and comfortable seating along with a well equiped and porportioned entertainment center making this camp quite unique. Overall, we really liked what this camp had to offer.

Excellent stay
This is a fantastic rental. The space was large and clean and had everything we were looking for inside, including a very nice kitchen and common areas. There is a big picture window that looks right out onto the pond - which is actually quite large. There is a nice grassy area to sit outside in front of the pond. We enjoyed taking the canoes and kayaks out, and we enjoyed the fire pit. The location was a short drive to town and Rangeley lake. We would definitely come back.

Rustic Stay
Our stay was pleasant for the most part, but a deep clean of the property would be recommended. Cobwebs adorn most of the place and there were dead bugs in one of the beds when we pulled the covers. We found a wet bathing suit top in the couch and the garbage was half full upon arrival. Check in/check out was easy and Melanie allowed for early check in and late check out. Communication with host was prompt and accommodating. The pond in front was lovely to canoe/kayak, however swimming is kind of yucky - very shallow and slimy with lots of pond vegetation. Location was central. Kitchen is well stocked.

Property as described… if only Melanie could control the weather (it rained all week) would recommend for individuals, families and couples. Thanks for sharing your home with us , Melanie!

Very nice place to stay and enjoy family
We had a great time, enough space for relaxing with family and keeping up on laundry and cooking. I have to say it wasn’t swimming we hoped to have but it’s tough to compare to the area on student island that half of the week some of us were at. Kayaking was great, I now want a two person kayak! The kids loved catching the bull frog but the leach kinda freaked me out. They loved it though. We would of liked knowing the history of the the animals and bones there and if they had a story behind them. Maybe a journal of other people stay would of been nice to add too. Thank you for opening your home to us!

relaxing and secluded
Great place and secluded and that is what we were looking for. I was a little disappointed in the shore line. My dogs played in the water mostly. I tried going in with water shoes on and I needed to come out to mucky - I personally wouldn't swim in it. The dogs didn't mind...they sure loved the water! I went out in the kayak and the canoe and that was so fun and able to see the whole pond and the foliage this time was amazing! Our view and the window looking out to the water was my favorite. I do have to say I would rent again just to deal with Melanie - she was great. But everything was great and we enjoyed our well needed vacation! Thanks again!

Authentic Maine Camp
Loved the privacy of the location, with only sounds heard were loons calling. We spent hours outside on the Adirondack chairs and inside in the lounge chairs enjoying the view ofthe pond with beautiful sunrises and sunsets. The camp was located just a short drive to a town in either direction with grocery stores , shops and restaurants, as well as hikes and areas to explore. The interior of the camp was uniquely dorated in the "Maine Camp" style . Every place you looked, you saw something interesting. The Gathering Room had comfortable seating for several people, as well a a good view of the Lake. We enjoyed use of the canoes and paddled across pond one afternoon. Melanie was easy to contact when we had questions.
