Charming Camp on Water's Edge---Canoe, Loons, Turkeys, Fish and an Eagle

FARPOINT Cottage on Tilden Pond-- Seasonal cottage on waters' edge with amazing views, quiet, and only 10 minutes to town and ocean. Enjoy an iconic Maine 'pond' while having your morning coffee. Sleep with the sound of the water lapping onto shore out your window. The cottage is surrounded by loons, ducks, fishing, eagles and sounds of lake life. Perfect location for fishing, kayaking, relaxing and exploring while still enjoying the amenities of a city. This property is a quiet spot for enjoying the outdoor, not a rowdy crowd or late night noise.

Tilden Pond is located 8 minutes/6 miles from Belfast with restaurants, a large and high-quality grocery, hiking, and all the amenities of the modern world. Oh and of course the ocean! Belfast was voted 'Best Place to Live' in Maine 2022. Belfast has a charming city center near the ocean with an abundance of shops, cafes, and restaurants including the largest flagship grocery store in the mid-coast and of course --Dunkin Donuts. You are in the heart of mid-coast Maine with easy access to Acadia National Park 75 minutes away and Portland less than 90 minutes south.

Another stay at Tilden Pond after a brief lapse
My wife and I have become attached to this little cabin, after returning several years in a row. Following a brief interruption we were happy to see that the new owners had changed very little. It's snug but has all that is necessary for us, and it's in the right place.

Magical cabin by a peaceful pond
I had a wonderful week at Farpoint Cabin which is down a lane and then right on the edge of beautiful Tilden Pond. It's about an 8 minute drive to Belfast and a little longer to Camden and Rockport. The cabin is rustic, but comfortable, with a good bed and plenty of hot water. It is small but perfect for one person(me!) and would be fine for 2. I was amazed that it was so peaceful and quiet - no motorized boats, just canoes and kayaks - and one sailboat. Bliss! Contact with Alison, the host, was easy. I would happily stay there again.

Aug on Tilden
Everything was special in every way. The cabin is quiet and private. Closeness to the water is very special...eagles, geese and loons all contribute to the ongoing symphony. Small, but very functional and comfortable. So many places to visit, including downtown Belfast, Young's Lobster Pound and numerous destinations north and south on US 1. This one is a little known gem!

Short stay
We were very relaxed at Tilden pond but unfortunately both me and my wife tested positive for COVID on Wednesday and had to return home the next day. We liked how the camp wasn’t too far out of the way for Acadia National park and Baxter State Park day trips.

A little slice of heaven!!!
I came to visit friends in the area and this cabin was PERFECT!!! it is well appointed, very clean, and there was nothing I didn't have that I wished was there. It was peaceful, the weather was gorgeous. I could hear the loons at night on the water, slept with the windows open every night. The hosts were kind, not intrusive, and answered any questions I had quickly. I would definitely stay here again. This is a perfect spot for a single person, or a couple. Everything was perfect!

Great location on beautiful pond! Cottage was very nice, well appointed, but just a little too small for us. Host was easy to communicate with. I was disappointed they no longer offered a kayak or canoe as advertised when I booked the property back in April.

Perfect cabin, perfect week for two
Loved this cabin built for two steps away from pretty Tilden Pond, a private, quiet lake. The cabin is set up with plenty of charm. The bed was very comfy and the views can't be beat. The kitchen was well stocked and the bathroom is roomy with plenty of hot water. The screened porch was a perfect spot for morning coffee and evening cocktails. We don't watch a lot of TV and the wifi is a little spotty, but this is a cabin in Maine. No need for TV when you have everything else. The rowboat was a great plus since there are plenty of fish and the pond was usually still in the morning. Geese, ducks, a resident bald eagle and pair of loons, as well as a flock of turkeys kept us company daily. So remote and yet so close to Belfast made this a really great home base for the week. We hope to visit again next year.

The camp is small but pleasant and well equipped for 2 guests. We chose it because the reviews & pictures suggested a rowboat and canoe were available. This is not true. The lake seems lovely, the location is pleasant and private but it was disappointing to come so far just to look at it.

Great stay
Allison was great and extremely responsive. The cabin was clean and the location was perfect. It was nice having both heat and air conditioning as some days both were used. I rented my own kayak, but having the boat available was a nice addition. I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Lovely little cabin
This is a rustic little cabin in a perfect location. It is well-equipped and tidy inside. Everything seemed very clean and well cared for. The lake setting could not be beat. Also we love this part of Maine. Overall very pleased. The only small thing I could say about it is that it is not fancy (that is obvious from the photos) and it has a bit of a musty cabin smell. But it was very charming and we would return.

Fishing Heaven
Dear Allison and Brad, Thank you so much for sharing your cozy cottage with others. We came to Maine with dreams of enjoying some bass fishing and escaping the noise of suburbia. We were not disappointed! The regular sightings of the bald eagle, the loon songs, and excellent fishing made it a great trip. Sharing your rowboat for our trolling motor made the great fishing possible. We wish you a wonderful summer season, and hope your guests enjoy Tilden Pond as much as we did! Thank you!

Beautiful Get-A-Way
Lovely little cabin on a beautiful lake. My husband and I enjoyed our week on Tilden Pond. It was a perfect location for exploring both the coast and inland areas on our first visit to Maine. We enjoyed the company of ducks, turkeys and a bald eagle before we left each morning and when we returned to the cabin each evening. The cabin is nicely set up and quite comfortable. We did not use the boat or canoe, but both are provided for use and would be a wonderful way to pass a lazy summer day on Tilden Pond. We hope to be frequent visitors to Maine no that we have discovered its wonders and would most definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Maine Camp!
We spent 3 weeks in August at Farpoint. It's like being in the middle of an aviary. Not only did we observe loons and bald eagles, we saw herons, king fishers, hummingbirds that buzzed us, cedar waxwings, sap suckers and so much more. The camp is very comfortable, rustic but with all the amenities, plenty of hot water. Air conditioning was a nice plus as there were a couple of rare for Maine, hot nights. Kitchen well organized. Because of the drought the lake was very low so we had to walk out a ways to get to deeper water for swimming. The floats provided were helpful. We brought our fishing kayak and experienced some of the best fishing ever! And another bonus, the gas fire pit! The stars at night were unbelievably beautiful. Belfast is a10 minute drive. Camden about 25 minutes. Thank you Allison and Brad!
