Helpful Links for Planning your Vacation:
There is a binder at SummerSet for local activities (dining, boating, fishing, hiking etc.). I also provide all of our renters with an online version to help plan from away. This includes directions and area information, a dining directly, local entertainment, boating, fishing, hiking, day spa, chef services, golf, shopping, mail boat rides and more.
Something for Everyone:
Boaters - Long Pond is a fantastic lake for boating and swimming. There are many coves and two large (long) sections of the lake to explore separated by a bridge at Castle Island Road. You can go to Day's General Store by boat for coffee, a fishing license, pizza, ice cream or whatever you have forgotten. The Village town dock is also available if you want to go to dinner by boat, do some shopping or antiquing. Both are easily accessible from our cottage. If you are booking in July and August, make sure you book at Great Pond Marina early. Experienced boaters, please inquire about renting our boat, a 16 1/2' Sting Ray, 110HP.
Fishermen (and women) - Long Pond is rumored to be one of the best in Maine.
Golfers - Belgrade Lakes 5 star public course is on 5 minutes away. Sugarloaf, another challenging course is an hour away.
Bird/Garden Lovers - You will enjoy the beautiful perennial gardens and many birds that visit the property.

Guest Book Comments:
'We had a great week. The house is beautiful and provided a perfect ending to our daughter’s four years at Colby. Other parents were envious being confined to hotel rooms. We will certainly spread the word about Summerset to the Colby family.' May 2008
Golf:
Belgrade Lakes Golf Course is a 5 star public course. There is another very challenging course at Sugarloaf, only an hour north on 27.
Guest Book:
'As you know we loved our experience at your beautiful cottage...every single minute of it. We loved the flow of the interior, the comfort, the attention to detail, the ease with which we could always find a comfortable chair with a wonderful view, the cozy bedrooms and great beds, the quiet, the beauty, the loons, the swimming and kayaking, the sunsets, the safety for our grandchild, the ability to have our granddog with us, etc. I really could go on and on. We all agreed that we would love to come back next year.'
