Lovely cottage, gorgeous setting

My husband, daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Host is easy to communicate with and clearly wants you to enjoy your stay. Property is warm, clean and inviting. Setting is so pretty and peaceful. It is a bit close to the road, so you will hear cars/trucks, but that was not a major issue to us. Lots to do on/near the property, and plenty more if you venture out! Would happily stay again!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Heart pond was beautiful and quiet. The hosts were great, even supplying coffee, waters and information about the area. I would most definitely want to stay here again. Thank you Rupert.

Beautiful Maine cottage! The house has a great location off the Acadia Hwy that is a short drive to Acadia, Ellsworth and Camden. Comfy beds and many thoughtful details including the makings for s’mores over the fire pit! The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a great vacation. A highlight of our trip was the back patio overlooking the pond with a fire pit! We spent every evening enjoying a fire and recounted our adventures of the day. The only downside was some traffic noise but with the great location was not an issue.Our host responded quickly to questions and check in was a breeze. Highly recommend!

I usually don’t do reviews. But I have to say, this place was the best VRBO place I have ever stayed in. It was so clean, updated, beautiful view of the lake. Everything you need is available. We even had canoes and kayaks available. The owners have restaurant and area info readily available. If you are looking for a place in the middle of all the shopping and nightlife, this place is not for you. But if you are looking for a place to relax and just enjoy some peace and serenity, this is perfect.

Cozy cottage on a scenic pond

Beautiful Serene Pond Setting

Communication was great from making reservations to departing. Property was easy to find right along highway and in evening traffics noise was very quiet. Home set up as described and we had everything needed to feel right at home and cooking. Beautiful setting right on the pond and water was like glass in evenings and mornings. Plenty of room and has wifi that can get a little weak at times but we still continued to do some work and all is good. Would recommend to anyone needing a few days away to enjoy a book or to visit all the nearby attractions.

We had a fantastic stay for the start of our honeymoon

The property is on an amazing location on the water.The house was well maintained and there was excellent information on where to go for restaurants and different things to do in the area. If we ever come back to Maine this will be a place we stay again.

Beautiful Maine cottage on a small, crystal-clear pond in Maine. About halfway between Bangor and Bar Harbor (Acadia). Also great access to Deer Isle, Stonington, Blue Hill, and ferry to Isle au Haut (Acadia). Beautiful waterfront with kayaks and canoes, life vests, swim float. The owners beautifully furnished the cottage, and it's clean and well-equipped with absolutely everything you might need, including AC (it was a particularly hot and sticky week). It does back up to Rt. 1, so there is some traffic noise, but it didn't really bother us.The bugs were aggressive, but they backed off after the weather cooled down. Highly recommend!

This property is just perfect for that Lakeside get-a-way in Maine. The owners have thought about making it easy for the guest from check-in to check-out. The property is spacious and has a fully appointed kitchen and outdoor grill. There is AC and heat. The owners had water and the items to make s'mores for us. The outdoor patio, fire pit, dock and float are the property highlights. They have canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, floats, goggles and snorkel gear. As others have said, during the day you can hear the road traffic but that did not matter to us and at night everything quiets down. The location is central for exploring taking about 1 hour to get to Camden, Bar Harbor, Goldsboro and 40 minutes to the Bangor Airport. The owners were accessible had we needed them or had questions. But they have a nice welcome packet with everything you need including local attractions. I give this property and experience a 10 star review.

Cute cabin

We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin on Heart Pond for 4 days in June 2024. The outdoor amenities provided by the owners were great, canoes, tubes, paddle board, a delightful shaded patio, fire pit, grill and much more...including a beautiful view. We lounged and played in or by the water almost the entire time. This is a great place.

great stay in a cozy cottage on the pond

This was our home base for a few days as we explored New England. the house was great and the pond made for a nice evening swim. The light switch locations are a bit funny but we found that to be charming. Thanks for letting us stay in your place!
