Amazing getaway experience
This is by far one of the best places we’ve stayed. From the beautiful decor, exposed wood and cozy fireplace. It was the attention to detail and small little extras that made this an extra special visit. The serene music playing as you enter the home to the specialized note and picnic basket! They are very accommodating to any situation that may arise and communicate on a five star level. An amazing stay and will be visiting again!

A Gem in the Belgrades
We loved our stay at this property. It exceeded our expectations in every way. We used the jacuzzi every day, played all the games in our own personal game room that was stocked with tons of brand new games. We used the pontoon boat which I highly highly recommend. The beds and bedding were five star, our host was lovely, the rooms was spotless. We're coming back again in Fall to enjoy another season here.

Wonderful little gem on Belgrade Lake. Awesome hosts. It's a 10!
We were looking for a small spot on a Maine lake for a weekend birthday celebration. This is it. We were able to easily book our stay, ask questions that were quickly answered & felt like guests of their home. They are wonderful, informative, communicative. Their cottage is immaculate, inviting & had everything needed. The owners have a great guide of area activies, eateries & shops that was most useful. We will stay there again if we make it back to Maine.

A Perfect Wedding Weekend Retreat
This host and property are absolutely amazing! We reserved all three units, Moonlight Treehouse, Skyview Treehouse and Sunset Chalet as our accommodations for the weekend, to attend our daughter's wedding at a nearby venue. Each unit is beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean, comfortable, and inviting. Feras, our host, was always available to help by promptly answering questions, accommodating special requests, and even allowing us to tour the property prior to our stay. Each unit was full of special surprises: fresh cut flowers, desserts, snacks, beverages, coffee and even champagne and a teddy bear for the bride and groom! Feras even checked in with me prior to check-in to see if there were any other special gifts he could provide for the bride and groom. Although we were away from the property often, busy with wedding activities, we were able to enjoy the hot tub, the beautiful view of the stream from our deck with coffee, paddleboarding on the water, and time around the firepit in the evening with family and friends. The property is pet friendly, and our dogs enjoyed the spacious, well-maintained grounds, swimming in the stream, while also being safe, comfortable, and secure in our treehouse while we attended the wedding. Feras went above and beyond our expectations, making us, and our dogs, feel welcome...a true home away from home. It was abundantly clear Feras and family truly care about the comfort of their guests, and worked hard to make everything perfect for our daughter's wedding weekend. We will definitely return in the future for another stay, and now our daughter and new son-in-law have a perfect retreat to return to in the future for anniversary celebrations. This a beautifully unique and exquisite property…thank you Feras and family for an amazing stay!

Belgrade Lakes Maine
The property was on water with lots of "water toys" (paddleboard, kayaks, etc). Outdoor areas were what Maine is all about ponds, pine, birch, birds, chipmunks and more. The location was only an hour to an hour and half from my favorite seacoast towns, Camden, Wisscaset, antique shopping in Brunswich and Waterville and Belfast, and LL Bean in Freeport. Perfect location for me and my shopping, sightseeing friends.

Wonderful stay despite the weather
My family of 4 (2 adults and 15 and 11 year old kids) truly enjoyed our 3 night stay at this property in Belgrade despite having terrible weather for the 4th of July weekend. The owners went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The chalet house and grounds were immaculately clean — so much so that I didn’t hesitate to put things on the floor. The studio was charming and we enjoyed all of the amenities — gas fireplace, Netflix, kitchenette, and access to the owner’s outdoor jacuzzi.. Upon arrival after a 3 hour drive, we were delighted to find the owners had left us a welcome basket with tons of snacks, salt water taffy, sparkling juice, and cupcakes! Unfortunately, due to the weather, we weren’t able to make use of the waterfront activities, but it’s a lovely property, and we would love to try again next year.

Had a very nice and quiet family weekend here in clean and comfortable studio/cottage. Very nicely presented and felt welcomed. Just right balance of knowing owners were nearby if needed, but we had privacy as well. Would like to return in summer/fall to take advantage if waterfront opportunities to swim, paddle and enjoy beautiful views. Would recommend to others.
