We came to go ice fishing
We were very pleased with our stay here. Alana was very quick to respond to all messages before and during our stay. The house had everything we needed while we were here. Plenty of parking and easy access to the lake for a day of ice fishing. Would definitely recommend staying here!

Excellent stay
Recently stayed at this cottage for an ice fishing trip. Perfect spot, easy to access the lake. The cottage itself is a very nice place, clean, plenty of space for a small group. I would book this stay again in the future.

A very comfortable cottage, we had everything we needed. Driftwood Cottage was cozy, amenities were top of the line. It is a beautiful area even in the late fall. Host, Alana, was exceptionally responsive to any questions I had.

Relaxing Great Pond Home
This well appointed home was much bigger than expected. After a long drive, I was so impressed to be able to walk in and see that everything was so spacious & beautifully set up. With only two of us on this trip, we didn't even need to use the upper level, except to take a look at the wonderful Loft & 2 Bedrooms up there. Loved having a 1st floor Bedroom & Full Bath! Everything was clean & easy to use. Gorgeous views of the lake with fall foliage was a bonus! I'd love to stay here again. We used to live in the area, so it was like coming home. Great location, close to both Waterville & Augusta, just around the corner from Christy's Convenience Store & gas station, and minutes to Belgrade Lakes shops & restaurants. The Owner was in touch to make sure all was well & answer any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!

Quiet Location!
Enjoyed a quick stay at this quiet lake side cottage. We appreciated having the window A/C as the temp was a little warmer than expected for October. Having access to the kayaks was a nice added benefit. It was a comfortable stay for our family of four.
