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!!
