About this property

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 your days on the pristine lake 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. 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!
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 with a Roku to stream successfully). 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 :). New mattresses in main bedrooms, new pillows, sofa and carpets. No tobacco, vaping or marijuana smoking permitted.

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! :)

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.

About the host

Hosted by Serena Graham

Host profile image
We are New England natives who spent several decades roaming the country, a rag-tag crew of nomads, who have finally found home in Maine. We love so many things about life in Maine, it’s the way life should be!

Why they chose this property

Wildwood Estates is a secluded, private development that preserves the natural beauty of the area. The membership support two private lake access points- one beach and one small boat launch- that we find fantastic, convenient and well maintained.

What makes this property unique

One word: modern. Most camps and cottages by lakes look the same. Lots of dark wood, plaid and antlers on walls. We strive to provide a clean, peaceful aesthetic without ignoring the beauty around us. We focus on the needs and comforts of our guests, always looking for ways to make our cottage a perfect place to stay!
