Vacation Rental Description

For many years I searched for the ideal Maine Cabin / Camp and instantly fell in love with this  
place.  Beautifully constructed cabin with half log exterier, large fieldstone fireplace,  
beautiful sunsets, westerly views, long dock with easy shallow walk to deeper sections, are just a  
few of the reasons you'll find this an idea Maine rental.   
 
Messalonskee Lake, also known as Snow Pond, is a pristine body of water 9 miles long. Part of the  
Belgrade Lake chain, this location offers spectacular views, crytailline waters, towering pines with  
birch and mixed hardwoods, and nesting loons.

"What a great week we had staying at The Cabin... The Cabin itself was so comfortable to stay in.   
Swimming, Kayaking and Roasting marshmellows in the fire pit!"  Cathy and Lennie Week of July 4,  
2008. 
 
"As soon as we drove down the lane and spotted "The Cabin" we knew we were in a very special place  
for our vacation.  Upon entering The Cabin our feelings were confirmed!  From the comfy beds, shower  
and gas stove all of our expectations were exceeded... Catching a fish off the dock while watching a  
beautiful sunset was fun.  After a full day, falling asleep each night to the calls of the oons was  
the perfect ending to a perfect day.  We're looking forward to a return visit"  Dan and Kathy Week  
of July 12, 2008. 
 
"What a delightful week!  Peaceful, calm and serene are the words taht come to mind.  The water was  
refreshign - crystal clear!  We appreciated all of the special touches - the videos, the kayaks, the  
fire pit, the beautiful fireplace, internet access, etc.  We especially enjoyed the heron, the bald  
eagle snatching fish from the lake and the family of loons... Fishing was great!  Leaving is the  
most difficult part.  Thanks for everything!"  Sue, Matt, Micas, Seth, Julie and David Week of July

fun.  The water was perfect."  Week of August 2, 2008 
 
"We had a wonderful week at The Cabin. So relaxing.  Our days were filled with kayaking, swimming,  
cycling, running and lots of reading.  The loons were in front most of the time - their calls at  
night made me smile.  The fising was great!  Dad's 20 inch large mouth bass was the highlight of the  
week (especially his week!)  Thank you for everything.  We will be back in August 2009."  Heidi and
