The Retreat at Little Pond

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Retreat to the scenic shores of Little Pond at this two-bedroom Sanford home, a lakefront property with a lovely deck, and a wonderful location for hiking, snowshoeing, or lounging on nearby ocean beaches.

This cheerful red home sits on 100 feet of lakefront on the eastern banks of Little Pond, offering a private pier for kayakers. Take morning strolls to explore the hiking trails in the 600-acre Fenderson Wildlife Commons, spend an afternoon or two antiquing in downtown Wells nine miles east, or take an 11-mile drive to sunbathe and swim in the ocean at Ogunquit Beach, Crescent Beach, or Footbridge Beach.

An ideal escape for summer vacationers or fall foliage enthusiasts, this quiet home offers casual comfort with views of the lake and forest. Begin each morning with homemade pancakes in the full kitchen (with a dishwasher) and six-person dining space, use the free WiFi to check the day's weather report.

Spend the day paddling Little Pond in your kayak and retreating to the deck to read, play board games, or share an al fresco lunch. Watch a spectacular sunset over the lake before moving indoors to enjoy the TV and DVD player. (Please note that the two floors of this home are connected by a narrow spiral staircase, but that baby gates are provided for your peace of mind.)

Make yourself at home on the shores of Little Pond - begin planning your Maine vacation today!

Nice for Spring Break
Was in the area for Spring Break and this was a super cute little place. This was a great place to hang out and relax. I wish the weather would have been nicer so we could enjoy the yard and the pond.

Cozy Cabin
Spacious cabin in a quiet neighborhood! The lake scenery was gorgeous with all the different color leaves. We would definitely stay again!

Cute cottage
Cute cottage on a pond, other reviews that mention the tricky spiral staircase are spot on. We managed, but definitely wouldn't recommend for anyone elderly. A powder room (or even a full bath, there's room for it) would be a wonderful addition to the lower level. Neighbors are very close, but wasn't really an issue, if you're sitting on the patio or deck you don't see them.
