Unique Pet Friendly Treehouse with Hot Tub on the Edges of Belgrade Stream with Direct Access to Messalonskee Lake, Maine

Description

A peaceful retreat nestled in the trees along Belgrade Stream, just minutes from Belgrade Lakes Village and Messalonskee Lake. Built by three generations of our family, this treehouse is more than a stay — it’s a reflection of everything we value: peace, nature, comfort, and meaningful connection.

Whether you’re planning a honeymoon, celebrating an anniversary, or surprising your partner with a birthday getaway, we’ve poured our hearts into making this a place where memories are made.

SPACE
From the moment you step inside the treehouse, you’re wrapped in warmth—surrounded by natural pine, soft textures, and the quiet presence of the trees just outside every window. You’ll feel both grounded and elevated here, like you’ve escaped the noise without giving up a single comfort.

Wake up in the loft to gentle morning light and views of the stream through the trees. Brew a cup of coffee in your full kitchen—complete with a retro-style oven, copper hood, and deep farmhouse sink—and settle into the dining nook as the day unfolds.

Downstairs, a second queen bed and cozy sleeper sofa offer plenty of space to unwind. A stone fireplace rises to the ceiling, perfect for curling up with a book or watching a movie after a day on the water. The bathroom feels like a forest spa, with its walk-in stone shower and an exposed pine tree woven right into the design.

Open the French doors and step onto your private deck. The hot tub is waiting. The grill is ready. Whether you’re soaking under the stars, sipping wine by the fire pit, or just listening to the loons call across the stream, this is a place where every moment invites you to slow down—and stay a little longer.

ACCESS
Step out onto your deck and sink into the hot tub as the sun sets over the stream. Roast marshmallows by the fire pit just outside your door, or take a short walk down to the water where kayaks, paddleboards, and a canoe are waiting for you.

Whether you’re looking to paddle across the lake, relax by the fire, or unwind in the hot tub under the stars—you’ll have everything you need for a peaceful and playful stay.

NEIGHBORHOOD
SkyView Treehouse is tucked away on a quiet stretch of Belgrade Stream, just minutes from the heart of Belgrade Lakes Village. You’re surrounded by nature here, but never far from the charm of small-town Maine.

Spend your mornings paddling the calm waters of Messalonskee Lake, known for its wildlife and some of the best fishing in the region. In the afternoons, explore nearby hiking trails, browse the village’s boutique shops, or enjoy dinner at one of the area’s cozy farm-to-table restaurants.

Looking for more to explore? You’re just 15 minutes from Augusta, Maine’s capital city, and 20 minutes from the vibrant riverside town of Hallowell, known for its art galleries, live music, and great food.

The Belgrade Lakes region is beloved for its natural beauty, peaceful pace, and outdoor adventure—no matter the season. Whether you’re here to unwind or explore, you’ll feel right at home.

TRANSIT
The treehouse is:
• About 10 minutes to Belgrade Lakes Village
• About 15 minutes to the Maine State Capitol (Augusta)
• About 20 minutes to Colby College
• About 1.5 hours to Sugarloaf
• About 2 hours to Acadia National Park

You’ll need a vehicle to get around, but once you’re here, much of your time will likely be spent enjoying everything right on-site.

HOT-TUB:

Supervision for Children:
Children under the age of 12 should never be allowed in a hot tub without adult supervision. The combination of high water temperatures and deep water can pose significant risks.

Time Limit:
Prolonged exposure to hot water can cause dizziness or heat stroke. Guests should limit their soaking time to 15-20 minutes and take a break before re-entering the spa.

Temperature Control:
The hot tub temperature should never exceed 104 degrees Fahrenheit, as recommended by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission.

No Glassware:
To avoid potential injury, glass containers should never be allowed near or in the hot tub. Plastic or shatterproof containers should be used instead.

Cleanliness:
Guests should always shower before using the hot tub to remove any lotions, oils, or other substances that could affect water quality.

No Diving or Jumping:
Due to the relatively shallow depth of a hot tub, diving or jumping in could lead to serious injury. Make it clear to guests that they should enter and exit the hot bath tub carefully and calmly.

Limit on Occupancy:
Every hot tub has a maximum safe occupancy number based on its size. Guests should be informed of this limit to avoid overloading the hot tub, which can compromise its structure and filtration system, and also increase the risk of accidents.

No Electrical Appliances:
Any electrical devices, including phones, speakers, or laptops, should be kept at a safe distance from the pool or hot tub to avoid the risk of electric shock.

Pregnant Women Caution:
It is widely recommended that pregnant women consult with a healthcare professional before using a hot tub, as elevated body temperatures can pose risks during pregnancy.

Hydration:
Encourage guests to drink water before and after hot tub use to avoid dehydration, which can be heightened by the heat of the hot tub.

Proper Attire:
Guests should be advised to wear suitable swimwear that doesn’t compromise the water quality. Regular clothing or underwear can introduce detergents or contaminants to the water.

No Pets:
Pets should not be allowed to sit in the hot tub for their safety and to maintain water cleanliness.

Cover After Use:
Guests should be instructed to cover the hot tub after each use. This helps maintain water temperature, prevent debris and food from entering the tub, and acts as a safety measure to prevent unsupervised use.

Noise Control:
To respect the tranquility of the surrounding area or neighboring properties, a rule about maintaining a low noise level, especially during late hours, would be considerate.

CHECKOUT: Checkout time is 11 am. On rare occasions we can accommodate a later check out. Please contact us to inquire about this. A small fee will be charged for this service. Should you checkout late, there will be a late checkout fee. If you are more than 30 minutes beyond the 11 am checkout time, we will impose a $75 late checkout fee.

We work hard on making sure we are one of the cleanest rentals you will come across. This is maintained by having enough time to take care of everything needed for each guest’s stay. Thank you for your understanding!

We ask that prior to guests’ checking out, that they strip the beds and leave the linens, including all sheets, comforters, and pillowcases at the edge of the bed.

Please do your best to wash any dishes that you have used during your stay prior to checking out.

If the rental property is left with excessive cleaning to be done because of the rental property being left with excessively dirty pots and pans in the sink, excessive amounts of trash, staining of floors or walls, etc., then we will charge an additional $150 cleaning fee for this extra cleaning that will need
