The hosts were easy to work with and responded quickly when we had an issue with the TV. I only have some minor criticisms on some of the details that were overlooked like a few light bulbs being burned out, the bugs in the light over the dining room table, the broken toilet seat cover in the upstairs bathroom, the charcoal grill filled with ashes and the broken down furniture sitting next to the nice Adirondacks at the fire pit. We really had a wonderful stay here and got some great relaxation in - so beautiful and peaceful. ##### Keith K.

Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lauren D., Philadelphia, USAj j def was w Aug 13, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Magical in every way My husband, twin 4.5 year old daughters, and our seven year old pup were fortunate enough to stay at Brent and Sarah’s Loons Nest cottage for two incredible weeks and cannot recommend it enough. The cottage itself is lovely; the listing pictures do not do it justice. The kitchen is well-equipped, the living room area is beautiful with bright skylights and fabulous views of the dock and lake. The dock and steps down to the lake were perfectly situated for my family - with the recommended water shoes we could all easily and comfortably get into the clear, warm (while we were there) water for swimming, floating, kayaking, etc. The back porch, picnic table, and fire pit were wonderful. Having the laundry room right on the first floor was very helpful and the downstairs bedroom is so serene. The upstairs bedrooms were also great and comfortable and we very appreciated having fans in the second bedroom, and window unit ac in the primary bedroom. Both bathrooms were good, the downstairs stall shower was key for washing off after the lake and really nice to have that laundry right next to the shower to toss in wet bathing suits and towels. We were in the lake at least twice a day for all but one day during our stay when it was raining. While staying here we saw three eagles flying around together, many loons, shooting stars, went to an amazing state fair, participated in a loon calling contest, went to the town’s annual bean hole supper, and just generally reveled in the wonder that is the lake, town, and surrounding areas. Brent and Sarah could not have been nicer. They were very helpful whenever we had a question and just generally good people. Lastly, every single night there we saw the most amazing sunsets we had ever seen until the next night. We completely fell in love with Great Pond, the Belgrade lakes region, and will be back again and again. ##### Lauren D. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2022 ### 6/10 Okay #### Heather C. Sep 8, 2021 Liked: Check-in, communication, location #### Great location, property needs updates Upon arrival we were notified that one of the 2 toilets wasn't working. This was not the owner's fault and they did everything they could (especially with the labor shortage) to get a plumber there and communicate proactively. So kudos on that! Pros of the property - water clarity is beautiful, house is big and location on Hatch Cove is really nice. Great for walking and for kids to bike. Loved listening to the loons and paddling around the lake. For renters with a boat, great mooring access. Easy trash (many rentals do not have trash pickup). Dog allowed, which we appreciated. Cons of the property - furniture and beds need updating, house is very tired (cracked tiles and rusty radiators). The water is very low in the lake and so getting into the water is quite difficult (water shoes are a MUST). The owners roped off the only place to safely and comfortably launch a kayak or paddle board. The dock pictured is large but the actual dock is a 3' wide metal dock only that 3 of our 4 people fell off while there. There are very narrow steps down into the lake that are not kid friendly. There also were not enough seats for everyone to be outside, but thankfully we brought our own. The kitchen had 6 forks, so we mostly used plastic. We own our own VRBO rental and so I appreciate all the work that goes into maintaining a property, especially in a summer when help is really hard to find. If a visitor doesn't care about these things I mentioned, the house will be just fine. We just had higher expectations. Little things like decent towels and enough forks go a long way when other things go wrong. With just a few updates and comforts, this house could be really GREAT. ##### Heather C.

The house was spacious and had plenty of room even when we were at full capacity. It was lovely to be right on the water for the spectacular sunsets. I would caution those who travel with dogs that the neighbors are nearby and you have to keep your dogs close and quiet. That did not diminish our enjoyment of this beautiful spot on idyllic Great Pond! ##### Anne B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kevin L.

Questions were all addressed promptly and accurately and our stay was absolutely lovely. ##### Kevin L. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris W. Aug 30, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful Cabin The pictures do not do this cabin justice. Great location with all day sun and the cabin is very spacious. We have been coming to Great Pond for over 40 years and this is probably the best cabin ever. I hope it's available next year. ##### Chris W. ### 8/10 Good #### Lauren D. Aug 29, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy #### Spectacular Sunsets The things we enjoyed most were the sunsets, the spacious kitchen and our campfires. Amenity wise, the house had everything we needed; however, the water pressure in the kitchen sink was very weak. The water pressure in the shower was excellent. Lake views from the family room were glorious. There was not a lot of space for the kids to run around outside of the house. My family has been coming to Great Pond for 40+ years and this is the first time we stayed on the Eastern side of the lake. The water tends to get a little more choppy on this side of the lake. We rented a boat, followed the house rules, and used the mooring; however, we needed a way to get from the dock to the mooring without getting wet... unfortunately, we didn’t plan ahead for that. Overall, we had a very nice stay. ##### Lauren D.
