Private and Cozy Cottage, Excellent Fishing And Swimming; Sleeps 6.

Wilson Pond in North Monmouth is one of Kennebec County's best kept secrets! This private and cozy lake front cottage is a wonderful spot for swimming and excellent fishing. Your children and grandchildren are welcome here!

Our cottage sleeps 6, in 3 bedrooms (1 queen bed, 1 double bed, and a pair of twins) and one and a half baths. There is a fully equipped kitchen, dining area, and a screened-in porch with grill.

We have a dock, and the public boat launch is less than a mile away. Perfect for early morning canoeing and fishing, sunset view dinners and listening to the sound of the loons. Herons, eagles and loons are spotted frequently.

We provide pillows and blankets, sheets and bath towels. Flat screen TV with cable, WiFi, high speed internet also provided.

There is a wood burning stoves for those chilly nights. Firewood provided.

The peace and privacy of the spot makes for a relaxing vacation.

Great getaway!
Karp Camp is a great hidden gem on Wilson Pond. Comfortable, rustic and well- appointed for a relaxing getaway. The lake is clean and there is plenty of space in the house with the porch. The hosts are easy to contact and very responsive.

We loved the screened porch and swimming for hours in the “pond.” Pond doesn’t do justice to this large lake with crystal clear water. Our hosts just next door were friendly and helpful!

Rustic but loved it
The lake is beautiful. The sunsets are amazing. The kids loved swimming and kayaking in the lake. If you don't like nature then this is not the place for you. We love nature and respect it's critters. Alot of spiders but they are fascinating and they were all outside. The space accommodated the 6 of us perfectly. We had a good time.

Beautiful Sunsets Rustic Camp
We enjoyed our time on the screened in porch which is where we were most of the time. The beds where very firm which i would rather have then soft. My old bones would have enjoyed a 2 inch memory foam, but I was happy. Enjoyed our stay.

Visiting family members enjoyed their stay
The cottage is an old-style Maine camp with a few updates. We were apparently the 1st guests of the season, and surfaces had not been thoroughly wiped of the build up of dust, insects, etc.. There were also some stains in the carpets. Otherwise, our family members, who were visiting from another state, were happy with the accommodations and enjoyed Wilson Pond.

We had a fantastic time and felt relaxed and cozy in the cottage. I am used to a soft mattress at home so the firm mattress in the master bedroom took some time to get used to.

A Maine escape
We spent 5 days here and loved the location, the quiet, kayaking, fishing and the loons and bald eagles. We did have some concerns with the care and cleanliness of the property. We have rented many cottages and homes over the years and felt this cottage was a bit neglected. We do appreciated having been able to spend a relaxing weekend enjoying a birthday and a wedding in the Monmouth/Manchester area.

Pleasant stay
Pleasant wooden house, kept clean. Comfortable living room. Beds were fine. The way down to the lake was a little steep for us over-60's but the owners are planning to make that easier to go down shortly. The lake is open and perfect for skiing and water sports. Screen porch is very large. Owners were very prompt, pleasant and responsive to questions and very helpful while we were there with linens and towel laundry, removing our trash, and more. Sunset view from the dock. Altogether pleasant.

It was just okay
Not bad. Not great. I think we were the first tenants of the season because no one had swept or cleaned. Very musty. Lotsa cobwebs. Tough swimming because of rocky bottom. Very steep path to water. Okay place just not worth what we paid. 3 stars.

Vacation
My family (partner, 3yo, and dog) and I had a great time. The week started out hot so we spent a lot of time in the pond swimming and looking around in the water. We enjoyed doing lots of local things like a hike, thrifting, and checking out the local eateries. The location of the house was great, you can get to a grocery store in 10 minutes but the house itself was semiprivate. By the looks of the pictures I thought we wouldn’t see another house but the house is nestled between two other homes, though a good distance from one another. I only bring this up because my dog is a little crazy around new people but we didn’t see anyone during the week. Overall, we were very happy with our stay and would definitely recommend.

Not quite what we expected, but still quite nice
They say "a picture is worth a thousand words", but in this case a few extra words would have helped us. My husband is elderly. Not handicapped but no longer as steady on his feet as when he was younger. Unfortunately the rough terrain was an obstacle to his enjoyment of the property. It was not evident from the photos on VRBO that the property is fairly steep down to the water ( * at the time we were researching - owner may have added better pics and description since then) For most folks, no problem. But for us this cabin would not have been our first choice had we known. The cabin itself is very nicely laid out with plenty of room inside. The area is quiet and the lake is lovely. This area of Maine offers plenty to do with it's proximity to theater in Monmouth and and nightlife in Augusta. Overall we still had a wonderful stay.

Lovely rustic cabin
The cabin was very nice, we had a wonderful time down at the pond everyday of our stay. I think my only issues were the amount of spiders and spider webs in and outside of the cabin. There were a lot of spiders! Also, there is a rodent problem. When we arrived we opened the cabinets to find lots of mouse droppings. We cleaned them up but we were consistently seeing them back in the cabinets and on the countertops everyday. I also had a mouse on my nightstand in the bedroom on my last night. Luckily my dog was able to scare it off. There is also the trash situation. There was one small can for recycling and a small can for trash, and it wasn’t being picked up for an entire week. There were 6 of us staying there, and we had a lot of trash and no where to put it. We had to leave it on the back porch, so it stunk up the porch for the last few days. A dumpster is a must for larger parties. There were skunks out and we couldn’t just leave the trash out front of the cabin or we’d have been cleaning it up everyday. Other than that, I loved everything else about the cabin. It’s rustic and simple and that’s all we needed but it needs to be thoroughly cleaned. Very close to amenities, which was helpful!
