About this property
Hidden Gem on Beautiful Golden Pond
Private lakeside modern camp perched on a hill surrounded by trees with glimpses of beautiful Great Pond.
Enjoy our 2017-built westerly facing camp perched on a slope 275' feet from beautiful Great Pond. Enjoy beautiful sunsets and sunrises in a serene setting only 1 hour from Portland, Maine. The camp is perched on a hill surrounded by tall trees with the glistening lake below. Access the shore by walking a meandering down-hill path through the woods right to the lake with your own private dock. Enjoy a day of swimming, lunch picnics, fishing or even an afternoon nap while listening to the loons. If you’d like to explore beautiful Great Pond by water you may rent kayaks or launch your own boat at the public boat launch and ride it to our private mooring. Ask us for details, and reserve early.
Newly expanded trails are easy to navigate and newly expanded dock with pulley mooring for your boat in a secluded area with picnic table and seating area shaded by cedars.
Property shares 225’ of shore with another property, but trails and shore areas are clearly marked and separate by almost 200’. New wide trail for portage of canoes and kayaks makes loading and unloading much easier.
Inside the bright modern camp, find a fully equipped kitchen, and a living room with 3 sliding glass doors that open to an expansive deck equipped with a gas grill -- perfect for enjoying dinner and drinks outdoors or just a place for relaxing under the sun or star gazing at night. Easy to operate heating and cooling system brings comfort to those chilly mornings or hot mid-summer nights.
The camp has 3 bedrooms and one sleeper sofa - perfect for 6 guests but could accommodate 8. Downstairs you’ll find a bedroom with a queen bed, bathroom with a standup shower and a queen pull-out sofa in the living room. Upstairs there are 2 bedrooms – one with 2 twin beds (with storage drawers) and the other with a queen bed along with a bathroom with a full bath.
A close drive from camp, find the quaint village of Belgrade Lakes that will take you back in time with its old fashioned general store and ice-cream shops. Also, nearby, find, hiking trails, Winterberry Farm (great homemade pies and chutneys and jams) and Belgrade Country Club for golf lovers. In nearby Waterville (30-minute drive) find shops, restaurants and Colby College with its beautiful Museum of Art (free to the public); a perfect excursion for a rainy day. Augusta is also nearby (20-minute drive) for shopping and a movie theater. Been fishing lately?

This place is our go to for getaway fun. It is incredibly relaxing with everything possibly needed in a very well stocked place. Gorgeous setting with a great dock to soak up the sun and the owner is a super good communicator. Highly recommended
This is our second year at this lovely lakeside home. The views and spacious location make this a family favorite! The rooms and beds are very comfortable and the porch was a lovely place to visit, listen to the loons and recharge for the coming school year. Ross is a superb host and we love his home!
Quiet, lovely spacious home on Great Pond in Belgrade Lakes
This was a picture perfect location for our annual week away on Great Pond! The dock and pulley system worked beautifully for a boat and the kids enjoyed yoga on the dock, overlooking a gorgeous cove on Great Pond. We hope to return to this lovely home next year!
What an amazing place to spend our week at Great Pond! ( another hidden gem! Accommodations were A plus! Beautifully decorated and furnished! So cozy and yet spacious. All needs meet and boxes checked! Secluded location for privacy. Enjoyed the waterfront and taking walks! Short trip to Belgrade lakes village and also Waterville and Augusta. Can’t wait to return!
We appreciated how the owners are good stewards of the property. The house and grounds are well appointed and taken care of. Ross provides a binder that shares so much information on how to take care of the property as well as some history and suggestions.
Amazing location with lake access. The cabin is beautiful with extreme attention to detail. Comfortable bedrooms with beautiful open spaces to enjoy the outdoors. The host is thoughtful and a great communicator. Essentials provided-including mosquito repellent are a definite plus. We rented kayaks from Wells and Sons and they delivered them to the cabin. We were able to enjoy the lake fully.... Belgrade is just a few minutes away with nice restaurants and grocery basics. Nice hiking trails around.
The property was immaculate, Ross (the owner) was great, we had everything we needed for our week on the lake. I recommend this property to anyone wanting an amazing Maine vacation on the lake.
Peaceful Getaway Spot in the Belgrade Lakes Region
We loved our stay at Hidden Treasure on Golden Pond. The property was spotless and a great place to relax for a week. Ross was very helpful and very easy to work with. I would highly recommend this property.
Really nice and clean place. Very well stocked and communication with Ross was excellent
It’s a bit of a walk to the water but not to far and dock area is wonderful
We loved every aspect of our stay in this perfect camp on the lake. Ross is wonderfully responsive and has thought of everything, including connections you will want to make with those who rent kayaks and motor boats. The camp itself is beyond comfortable. We are ever grateful for the opportunity to have experienced this place.
Great week at the lake cabin. Well stocked - just wish we would have had better weather! Maine was in the middle of record rainfall but we found fun anyway! Bar Harbor, Freeport, horseback riding, great seafood/dining and the zoo! Tks again Ross.

Perfect accommodations. Had everything we needed and was clean and comfortable.
We visit family every year here so already love this lake! We felt comfortable and this camp had everything we needed. My biggest worry was that we would mess something up because it is so new and clean. I think we did ok! The kitchen was perfectly stocked with all the things you would want in your own kitchen. The bedding and towels were soft and cozy. We plan to return!
We had a wonderful experience in an immaculate and serene setting. Well furnished with everything you need. Ross was more than helpful and went out of his way to make our stay enjoyable as well as memorable. We got in lots of swimming and fishing during a very hot week! Thank you, Ross for providing a cozy place to relax and enjoy all that a Maine summer has to offer. We hope to see you again!!

Simply excellent
We rented this cabin for some incoming CA guests. Ross was a Dream to work with. He did everything to make our guests Maine experience the best! The cabin is pristine, very very clean and included everything you would ever need except your food. We will rent from Ross again and encourage anyone looking to rent a cute modern cabin to definitely stay here!
What a wonderful property - the home, the location, beautiful Great Pond. Everything was as advertised and as needed. Ross was a pleasure to work with. He was very responsive seeing that any question we had, was answered. This was one of the best VRBO experiences that our family has ever had. Thank you Ross!
