About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

on gorgeous Great Pond (lake), great for families!

A fun A frame just steps from the lake's edge. The cabin was recently updated and has a cozy UPTA CAMP Maine vibe, but with a lot of modern conveniences like a work space, smart TVs, smart speakers and automatic lighting. Need to bring Grandma? There's a first floor bedroom and a ramp to the door. Wake up in a king bed facing the lake and watch the sun rise or meditate in the hanging hammock chairs. The bunk room can sleep a lot of kiddos, making this the perfect type of house to share with another family. The she shed has a combination exercise/meditation area with equipment and a fully appointed desk ready for remote work. Electric car? We have a Tesla charger!

We have lots of bed options to make different mixes of families work but given that we are on a small holding tank, we do not want reservations using all the beds. We want to limit adult guests to 4 (6 with no children) and prefer children not exceed 6 with their adults. Please message us for exceptions to this.

We listen to our renters and have made upgrades and fixes based on their recommendations, including blackout shades, fixing the water pump and related electric (we've been here two weeks Aug 2022 with 4-6 people and no issues, turns out there was a small leak not visible), some new deck boards, and a new queen mattress downstairs will be in place for 2023.

Great cabin
This is our second time staying here. Great place for our annual fishing trip. Cabin is right on the water, great dock and fire pit out back. Owner is great at communicating and always got right back to us with any questions.

Amazing week on Great Pond
The location is stunning and we had more than enough space for our family of 6, including 2 young children and my parents. The host was also incredibly communicative before and throughout our stay. My father has mobility issues, and Erin reached out to see if there was anything special we needed to ensure a great stay. We actually had an issue with the grill our first day and Erin had a new one out to us before lunch the following day. The location is honestly 10/5. My kids were in the lake from sun up to sundown every day. Perfect. The only negative feedback we have is that the camp could use a good scrub. The rugs and couches were dirty and I couldn’t find a vacuum. Beyond that, the house had literally everything else you could need for a week on the lake.

Little slice of heaven
We had a wonderful time at the Acorn Cabin and the owner puts so much attention into little details to make your stay smooth, like her Maine themed kids library, the board games, the maps with suggestions, etc. the view is incredible, beds comfy, wonderful updates but still enough of that charm you get in these old cabins. Being able to see escape to the she shed to meditate was a huge plus. Can’t wait to make this an annual trip.

Cozy, comfy and an amazing water view!
We visited with a small group (just 3 adults and one 6 year old) but could have comfortably added another 4, at least, without feeling cramped. This cabin is the perfect waterfront location with an incredible view of Great Pond. It's so amazing to just look at the water all day if so desired! The sandy bottom of the pond was a huge plus while swimming and a perfect spot for kids to be as well. A couple of kayaks and a canoe are available to use, and the cabin is stocked with games and puzzles should a rainy day pop up. Giant jenga was a huge hit! The couch is also super comfy :) Finally, the owner (Erin) was as responsive as humanly possible to questions I had here and there. Definitely recommend this cabin!

Great Place just not for us
This was a nice cabin. The location was nice in terms of being near Belgrade Lakes. It was right near the water. It helped my sister and I to get reconnected to Maine, however my sister and I would prefer to be on the side of the lake that we were always on. I feel like this cabin is better suited for 2 or 3 people, and rather then the group that we had.

great stay at Great Pond
Wonderfully accommodating and communicative host! Erin definitely wants you to enjoy your stay and has thought of everything to ensure you do. It is easy to tell this place means a lot to her and her family. They come up often and so you do truly have everything you need down to band-aids. Bring your own linens and towels and you are all set for a fantastic time on a gorgeous and clean lake with beautiful views. Comfy beds, complete kitchen, cozy sofas and awesome fire pit. Acorn Cabin, cozy and compact, was just right for our family of 5 adults and young adults. Even with a day of pouring rain, we enjoyed space to connect and also had plenty of space to read, play games, work, and cook. We only wish we had more time to kayak/canoe on the lake. This camp is nestled among a few others but felt private so coffee on the deck, as well as picnics -and so nice to have a grill - were so enjoyable. We have happy memories and even art to remind us of our time at Acorn Cabin. Our stay was short, but the time spent at Acorn Cabin was special.

Upscale Maine camp on beautiful great pond
Had a great stay at acorn cabin - host was very responsive to all messages, place was great for our three kids and us and overall wonderful experience. Cove it’s on is a beautiful part of the lake with little boat traffic as most head out to more open sections of the lake. Sandy bottom a few feet off shoreline and great swimming. Had everything we could need and a very comfortable stay!

Perfect Stay for the Family
This has been our 4th summer vacationing in Belgrade Lakes and this cabin did not disappoint. The cabin is situated on flat landscape, perfect for our kiddos (ages 2-5) with easy access into the lake, which is more sandy and kid-friendly than other places we’ve stayed at. The home is equipped with plenty of games / entertainment and the most comfortable couch to relax after a day of swimming in the sun. Easy access to town and excellent communication with owner. Thank you Erin for a great stay!!
