Lakeside Cottage in the Heart of Maine

Sitting 125 feet from the east shore of Echo Lake is the Nest at Camp Skoglund. A cozy cottage for two with all of the amenities you will need. Your deck provides a wooded view of the lake and we offer a fully equipped waterfront for your relaxation and fun on the water. If you require lodging for more than two, please inquire. We are open seasonally, starting in early June until Columbus Day. Our 60 year old camp (formerly run as a boys camp) offers a family atmosphere where you will have a true woodland experience in the best lake district Maine has to offer. The coast, the mountains, Portland and Freeport are approximately an hour’s drive. Most of our guests have returned every summer for decades and we always have a very happy and friendly atmosphere. Owned by the same family for over 60 years - we love what we do. The entire camp is available for your use. Fire pits, docks, boats, kayaks - we are fully equipped for the ultimate Maine experience. We have several docks for swimming and boating which you will share with other guests. Private spaces are easy to find too! The occupancy of the Nest is two and no other guests are permitted at any time. I live onsite and am available to help with anything my guests may need. The Mount Vernon area has several great cafe's and bakeries along with many great dining and shopping spots in nearby towns. We are at the edge of the Belgrade Lakes - home to the story of the famous movie "On Golden Pond". Your cabin will have information about all of the great places available in the area. The Nest is part of a small camp community consisting of five cottages and my year round home - when staying here you will have total privacy, and also the ability to interact with other guests.
