5 STAR Magical Waterfront Cabin on Papoose Pond! 25 Minutes to Sunday River.


Welcome to The Cabin at the Grove!
Snow is flying! Come enjoy this special retreat!
This 2 bedroom 2 bathroom cabin is the perfect spot for a getaway at any time of the year! Located at the end of a private road on the serene Papoose Pond, the Cabin is set among the diverse and beautiful white pine forests. We often receive visits from loons, eagles, great blue herons, deer, fox and (sometimes!) moose. Come enjoy the calm and joy that comes from living close to nature- once you are here you won't want to leave!

The cabin is complete with all you could need for a fantastic and comfortable stay. Enjoy comfortable beds with new mattresses, a complete kitchen, and ample dining and lounging space inside and out. Each room has been lovingly decorated with local original and unique art and furnishings. For recreation, we have WiFi, fireplaces (indoor and outdoor), and open lawn for games. On our private beach front you will find a two person canoe and life jackets(take it down the Crooked River!) . We are located just 25 minutes from Sunday River and Mt Abrams. There is a trail right out the door for hikes, cross country skiing, snow shoeing, snowmobiles. The quite country roads offer a perfect place for biking.
We have plenty of parking . The long private road is professionally cleared and maintained year round. We have a wonderful mother-daughter team that take great pride in keeping the houses clean and organized for each new guest. We have a full house water filtration system, plenty of hot water and brand new washer/ dryer. The road is well maintained and plowed .
We also make it very easy to recycle while you are here.

For shopping, dining, and festivities, the towns of Norway and Bethel are only a few miles away. Visit the vibrant micro-breweries, farmer's markets, art galleries, and antique stores that make Maine famous!

Summertime in the lakes region is full of swimming, kayaking, fishing or paddle-boating . Our private beach front is a lovey place to enjoy some quiet time by the water. Swing on a hammock among the pines, or go hunting for wild blueberries!

Fall is a magical time as the foliage changes and the migrating birds rest on the pond on their way south. There are many places to hike in the area with beautiful mountain views and waterfalls. There are an abundant hiking and biking opportunities as well.

Winter is full of activities as SUNDAY RIVER is just a cup of coffee away (25 min drive). The road to Sunday River is a beautiful and well maintained drive. Or you can cross country ski and snow shoe right out our door. Family friendly Mt Abrams is also just 25 mins away .
Spring is also lovely as our gardens start to come to life and wildlife reappears. Take a long bike ride on quiet Maine roads with spectacular scenery.

Too many heads, not enough beds? We also can provide another property to rent that sleeps 14 with 3 baths right next door. We call this the Maine house at The Grove. Home Away listing #4236830
PLUS! We have a lovely log home that sleeps 8 and is dog friendly that is just minutes away. Home Away listing # 176865

Cozy cabin
We loved this cozy cabin. It had a rustic feel but was updated enough to be comfortable. Location was great, felt isolated but still close enough to town. Peace and quiet on the frozen lake. The kids loved the little reading nook upstairs. There were plenty of games and toys for them, and they loved tuning in the antique radio. We loved sitting by the gas stove. Bedrooms were spacious and beds were comfortable. There were some minor issues that didn’t significantly detract from our stay (no tissues or washcloths, only one dish towel). Make sure you have 4WD in the winter, although the road was nicely plowed. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfect getaway
When you think of a cabin in the woods this is it. This is my 3rd year there and I already can’t wait to go back. The kitchen is stocked great if you want to cook or Norway is close and has neat places to check out. The deck is perfect to relax and read or take a nap. The views of the lake can’t be beat. Sunsets are amazing there. Linens and towels provided is a huge plus as well. Another great thing location wise- there’s great hiking close by. All I can say is perfect New England getaway.

Woods of Maine
My wife and I had many great camping trips with our children at Papoose Pond in Waterford Maine. We wanted to mimic the Maine camping experience but now live in Florida and sold the camper years ago. This beautiful little cabin right on Papoose Pond provided us the opportunity to do this. We had campfires, fished in the pond, cooked lobsters, and met the neighbor's cat. It was exactly what we hoped for but with a lot more luxury. Thje cabin had everything we needed and it comes just as advertised. The only word of caution, the steps up to the bedroom are a little bit narrow and steep. We would definitely book another trip to the Woods of Maine. Thanks to Chris and Rebecca.

Cottage at the Grove Great House
The house was clean and we are thankful there was an air conditioner and multiple fans. Such a muggy and hot summer! The kitchen was well stocked for cooking. Lots of interesting art work. It's a very quiet pond and neighborhood, which was nice. We used the canoe and kayaks. There are a lot of geese around that like to come onto the property. beautiful sunsets!

This cabin is a treasure!
My friends and I stayed for the weekend to cross-country ski and sight-see. This cabin was perfect! Located in a beautiful area with easy access to RT 35 and 118. The cabin was easy to find and the road was well-plowed. The beds were comfortable and the house was well-heated. The owners were very easy to contact and made several recommendations to us re: local food and activities. We would definitely stay here again, highly recommend!
