Waterfront Home - Mid Coast Maine near Camden and Belfast

Waterfront Retreat on Tilden Pond – Midcoast Maine Getaway Near Camden & Belfast

Discover your family’s perfect summer haven at this peaceful waterfront home on a private 7-acre peninsula. With sweeping water views, updated interiors, and endless space to relax or play, this Maine retreat feels like your very own summer camp—just with a bit more comfort and style.

Step inside to an airy open-concept living space designed for gathering. Expansive windows frame the pond from nearly every room, filling the home with warm natural light. The main level features all-new furnishings and modern amenities—including central A/C—while the walkout lower level invites family fun with indoor games, movies, and even a cozy pub nook. Kids will love the nautical bunk room and hanging chairs!

Outside, your playground is pure Maine magic: quiet mornings on the patio with coffee and birdsong, refreshing swims or paddles on the pond, golden-hour sunsets over the water, and starry nights that feel a world away from it all. Tilden Pond is a private pond with amazing fishing, kayaking or just enjoying the water. Pond has walk in access from the yard.

If you crave more than tranquility, you’re minutes from everything—just 8 minutes to beautiful Belfast (voted Maine’s Best Place to Live in 2022) for dining, shopping, and seaside charm. Camden’s coastal beauty is a quick 20-minute drive, while Acadia National Park and Portland make for easy day trips.

Perfect for families or peaceful getaways:

Private 7-acre waterfront property

Two master suites with water views

Lower-level walkout with recreation areas

Updated furnishings and main-level A/C

Abundant wildlife—eagles, deer, and wild turkeys frequent the property

Beautiful gathering space for extended family

The house facilitated whole family activities, but also had many spaces for the introverts to recharge. Eagles flew over while we kayaked and canoed. Our grandchildren played in the lake for hours. The well-apppointed kitchen had all we needed for cooking allergy safe meals. Fun art work enlivened the house. Besides the good times at the house, we were close to many Maine attractions. We highly recommend this site!

Beautiful lake home

This home is very beautiful with an amazing view. The kitchen was well stocked with everything that you might need. Screen porch is a highlight. We enjoyed the 2 kayaks, the lake was easy to navigate. House was clean and beds are comfortable. Would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful, peaceful home with lots of activities for families. Between the kayaking, hiking, and convenience of the house to Acadia and surrounding towns, we could not have asked for a better home to house my entire family for the week.

What a lovely home in the most peaceful setting! Our family was able to relax and unwind while enjoying the beautiful lake, but we also loved still being so close to shopping and restaurants. We loved playing games on the porch, fishing and kayaking in the lake, and shopping and eating out in Camden and Belfast. This home provided us a wonderful base for a relaxing trip!

Extraordinary lake house stay

Without a doubt, this has been the most lovely short term rental we have ever stayed in. From the moment you drove up, this beautiful home and invited you in. So comfortable and playfully decorated, yet it never distracted from the beautiful view beyond. Incredibly well stocked, it really felt like a home away from home. It's hard to choose our favorite room, but the screened in sleeping porch complete with swinging day bed was a family favorite. Coffee and a book on the porch with gentle rain and loons in the background? 12/10! We would not hesitate to recommend this home to all of our friends! Brava!

Wonderful Lake Escape

This is a beautiful lakefront property. The layout is very family friendly and the upstairs AC was appreciated on a few hotter than normal days. The lake is amazing. We spent hours enjoying it throughout our week long stay. This is a quiet, wonderful home and a quick 10-15 min drive to downtown Belfast. If exploring Acadia and more northern mid coast spots, it’s a great home base for summer in Maine.

Beautiful well appointed home

Could not have asked for a better, easier, and more beautiful stay. Property is natural and well cared for. The surrounding wildlife esp the bald eagles scoring their breakfast on the lake was just awesome. The home itself is designed for relaxing, playing or a great family meal. My kids enjoyed their room so much that bedtime was easy (and they want that exact room at home :) The rainy day was also easy with plenty of games, ping pong and swings for chill time. Neighborhood was quiet. We had a great week and would easily go back.

Special Lost Kitchen Weekend

We loved our stay at this beautiful property and weekend exploring Freedom and Belfast what a gorgeous area. The house was stunning and comfortable. The screened in porch and landscaping are just magical with the eagle swooping by to feed it's babies. The signs as you enter and drive down the private road to the property are not welcoming honestly very disconcerting but that is not the owner’s fault.

Wish I Had Read Listing More Carefully

Nice home with a beautiful view and lovely grounds. Communication with owner timely. But as much as I thought I had screened all of our possible vacation homes, including this one, for the presence of air conditioning given our mid-July stay, I clearly missed this one. It was a warm week and, it turns out, the house has AC only in the master bedroom. As this was a working vacation for my wife and me, we were inside most of the day, which was barely tolerable on most days, even with all the fans we could find running full bore. (Had we spent more days outside or on day trips, this would have mattered less.) The screened sun porch was a respite for me, a nice airy space off the living room, but we both could not work out there given frequent Zoom calls for both of us. We have had many summer vacations without AC in our lives, but for what we were paying for this home our expectations were different. For most months of the year, this home would be lovely. And its access to coastal towns of Belfast, Lincolnville (great lobster places on the waterfront), Camden and Rockport/Rockland is wonderful. But in the dead of summer, especially during the day time, just be aware in advance what the conditions in the house could be. Again, I want to acknowledge that I must have misread the listing, which clearly states that AC is only in the master bedroom. But I feel I need to communicate our experience so others considering this home for a mid-summer visit are aware.

Top notch experience

This is the well-loved and well-cared for summer home of a family. As a result, it is well equipped and well-maintained. It has a spectacular lake setting. This is a lovely area of Maine with lots to explore. Hosts were exceptionally responsive and pleasant. This place looks just like the beautiful photos. I will *certainly* return. Really no complaints I can think of. One note - it has lots of beds but only 2 bathrooms. This is clearly indicated in the description but it is easy to miss given the number of beds. The family also has a lovely little cabin nearby that it rents separately. If you need more space, add the cabin.

Beautifully decorated home in a gorgeous location

The house is decorated beautifully and is very well equipped with everything you would need. There is no closet space in the master bedroom but there was some hanging space in the laundry room near the master. The view from most rooms are a spectacular lake views. The owner was responsive and extremely helpful when I asked for restaurant recommendations. It was not far from Belfast and many convinces. I hope to stay again.

First Maine lake experience

We loved our stay at this lake house! The house is beautifully decorated with plenty of space for a family to spread out. Both kids and adults enjoyed the downstairs game room. Views of the lake from the house are amazing. We loved eating out on the screened porch. Very peaceful setting with an easy drive into Belfast for groceries/restaurants and also convenient to Camden and Rockland.

Fantastic Maine Experience

Great home and super view of the Lake. They call it a "pond" in Maine, but trust me, it is a lake. We watched loons, ducks, geese, a golden eagle, bald head eagles, perigrine falcons, and a long list of other birds from the deck during our stay. A beautiful home for 8 adults and an infant.

Amazing lake house

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The kitchen is very well equipped. Everything was nicely appointed from the outdoor deck to the bedrooms. The screened in sunroom was a great place to eat and hang out. We loved the nature and wildlife- even saw a bald eagle! This is the first place I have ever stayed where it looks better in person than it does in the photos. Highly recommend. Great communication with the host as well.

Wonderful first trip to Maine.

My husband, three daughters (ages 7, 12, and 15), and I took a road trip to Maine from central Kentucky. We wanted a house with plenty of room for us and the kids to relax and explore, and it had to have water nearby. This house was perfect for us. It was very clean and had a lot of cool spaces inside for my daughters, husband, and I to hang out and relax. My two youngest daughters loved catching frogs from the pond, and there was plenty of wildlife to watch. My husband saw several bald eagles from the deck, there was a nesting loon over from the path to Tilden Pond, turkey’s eating along the driveway, and plenty of geese and song birds. We loved staying at this house, and it helped make our visit to Maine very enjoyable. The view each morning sitting by the pond or on the deck drinking coffee was picturesque. We would definitely recommend this property to others.
