About this property

Little Bean’s Cottage, is located on Great Pond which, is part of a chain of seven pristine lakes known as the Belgrade Lakes Region. Here you will find hiking, swimming, boating, canoeing, and some of the best fishing in New England. Our cozy two bedroom cottage is located on a peninsula, directly on the quiet stream while its only steps away from the Great Pond side and a private dock.

It’s a short walk from the Village that has everything from Sunday’s farmers markets to local shops, casual & fine dining, five-star golf course, and the famous "Days Country Store,” where you can find everything from fishing tackle, coffee/newspaper, to all your groceries, meaning you will not need to leave the area during your vacation! Belgrade is only 15 miles to Augusta and Waterville. Our lake cottage is also conveniently located close to the coast, only 45 miles from the Freeport Outlets and LL Bean and just over one hour to Portland. Acadia National Park is located just over two hours away.

Little Bean’s Cottage is the perfect location to create a lifetime of family memories and vacations for the summers to come. Enjoy the beautiful sunrises and sunsets, the passing of boats from the dock, and fall asleep to the sounds of the loons. You will have access to a private dock and the ability to dock your boat. We also have kayaks, paddleboards and a canoe for enjoyment. Please provide your own life jackets or rent from local Great Pond Marina.

Built to last by L.L. Bean

Rustic cabin in a wonderful setting. Built by L.L. Bean when he was a young man, this is an historic cabin with a modern bathroom. We are fishermen and they have great docks available. We love the quiet, peaceful setting of this little cabin in the forest. Great hosts and great get a way. Fishing is good for smallmouth bass and Northern pike in this lake.

Good rustic getaway

This small cabin was perfect for my single person fishing trip. Great access to the water with a spot to dock my boat and leave my trailer. Nothing fancy, but very quiet and relaxing

Fall in love with the Belgrade lake

Beautiful location! Close to the village, the rustic and well equipped cabin, situated among the majestic tall pines is all our family needs to enjoy our lake vacation. Love both the front and back docks for sitting on to relax. Our kids enjoyed jumping in the water and fishing by the front dock and using the provided SUP and kayaks on the back dock. We got a small boat with no problem docking. Communication with Michelle is good and she tried to resolve issues with her best effort. Maybe better window screens in the bathroom to stop the bugs flying in at night. Minor issue. Definitely coming back next summer!

Charming & Sweet

We didn't need anything fancy. Just a place on Great Pond, in the area near the marina, that would be comfortable while we spent time with extended family. This little place was perfect. I would definitely recommend it for a couple or young family.

Wonderful historic cabin

Small cabin was built by L.L. Bean and is rustic but has modern plumbing and updated bathroom. We are fishermen and rented cabin because of the nice dock situation. There is one dock on the main lake but another one in back of the cabin on the small stream that flows out of the lake and this is very protected from wind and weather. Two kayaks, canoe, and PB's available at site. Perfect, and launch is close to bring boat around to dock. This was our second stay and we loved it and will be back. Hosts are wonderful and very accommodating.

Amazing week on the lake

We had absolutely wonderful time staying at the cottage which has everything you need to make your stay comfortable - the kitchen is well stocked, plenty of supplies beyond kitchen as well. The location is fantastic - we used both, the lake and the stream, kayaking, paddle boarding, and fishing. We also were swimming in the lake which is very clean! There are also plenty of nice hikes nearby. Very lucky this cottage was available for the week we spontaneously decided to go on vacation! Thanks for the awesome week!

Perfect spot

The cottage is as advertised. Loved having a dock on both the lake side and stream side. Agree with the review that said bed and sheets were comfy. Disagree that the furniture should be updated. It’s camp, it’s charming, and it’s comfy. Loved listening to the loons, campfire, hammock, swim float, kayaks, and canoe. Location is ideal. Close to store and ice cream by foot, boat, or car. Cannot wait to return.

Natural beauty

Lovely property with benefit of water access and a fire pit area. Perfect for people seeking a quiet getaway. We saw loons, turtles, a moose, eagles and a mink. Tall trees, sunshine and breezes-enjoyed swimming and kayaking.. Communication was excellent with Michelle.

This was our second year at the cottage. It’s a great location, walkable to town and access to the stream and lakeside. The added kayaks and fire pit are a huge bonus. We loved our stay!

Charming Rustic Cottage on Great Pond

This cottage was built by L.L. Bean and is rustic but updated, with retro kitchen and new bathroom. Lovely location on peninsula between stream and lake. If you are a fisherman there is a great dock at the boathouse on the stream side and a lakeside dock also. Site is fully shaded so we did not need AC in mid-July but there is a small AC unit in the living room if needed. Birds singing every morning, loons on the lake & great fishing, so all you need to be happy! Rea

Serene

We stayed one week, and thoroughly enjoyed both the cottage and location. Our 2 sons and their families enjoyed the firepit area with us. They sometimes came by boat and other times by car. They each had their own place. It was nice for all of us. Thank you ,Michelle

Just what we needed!

The cottage was great. Great location right near town - you could walk or kayak easily. We made use of the docks, fire pit, grill, kayaks, paddle boards and had an amazing time. It’s also always nice to have a little AC as an added luxury.

Great place for kids!

We had a fantastic week at Little Bean's Cottage. It was the perfect size for our family of four and my children were thrilled with the claw foot tub. The swimming was lovely and it was a great area for kids to explore the woods. Michelle was gracious and very informative. We look forward to returning next summer. The loons are already calling us back!

Had a fantastic vacation

Perfect quaint and rustic. Love this little hideaway that is in the absolute ideal location- close enough to the center of town with beautiful sunrise and sunset views. Great spot to sit fireside and access for boats and kyaks. Only 1 request would have been to have a screened in porch. Other than that a 10!

Excellent location!

We really were able to relax and unwind from the usual hustle and bustle that is our usual lives. Property is perfectly located between a wide stream and Great Pond. Walking distance to local store for all your grocery needs. We really enjoyed our time there and our only regret is that we booked only one week!
