About this property

Looking for a quiet place to get away but yet explore Downeast Maine? This spacious, sunny studio apartment is located on Molasses Pond. It features an amazing view from the upstairs apartment. There is access to a sandy beach with kayaks, beach chairs and fire pit located across the road. (This is our private property.)

Experience the beauty of Maine with the fresh water access on the large pond and the the call of the salty ocean water not too far away. We are located in Eastbrook about 50 minutes from Acadia National Park. About 30 minutes from the Schoodic National Scenic Byway and the Tidal Falls Preserve.

The large kitchen is fully equipped for making meals to enjoy inside or outside on the deck overlooking the water. A gas grill is provided on the deck.

The open concept feels roomy and relaxing in this tastefully decorated studio with a futon and comfy rocker recliner. Starlink Satellite internet is provided for wifi. The studio offers a large TV with DISH TV and a DVD player. Enjoy the beauty around you as you are surrounded by nature. Games, books, DVD movies and puzzles are provided as another way to relax in this peaceful environment.

Want a taste of the Maine woods? Take a short drive to the windmills. (These windmills can be seen from the pond but not heard!) Easily explore the Maine woods on these well maintained dirt roads which are suitable for a vehicle. Keep your eyes open for birds, eagles and other wildlife like turtles, rabbits and foxes. You might even see a bear or a moose! For the best experience, bring your bike, Side by Side (UTV) or ATV. The Downeast Sunrise Trail is accessible from our location. Gorgeous in the fall and great for snowmobiles in the winter. We have room to park a trailer so you can bring your ATV or snowmobile. The pond is also good for ice fishing in the winter.

The apartment is accessed by outside stairs from the paved driveway.

A heat pump provides heating and cooling. A washer, dryer and dishwasher are in the apartment.

Awesome getaway

This was a wonderful cottage across from the lake. It’s about an hour from Bar Harbor but the drive is a nice one and worth it when you get back to this location! If ever in Maine again we will try to stay here. Lots of amenities we didn’t even have the chance to enjoy- bon fires and kayaks that the owner has available. 5 * for sure!

Beautiful, Quiet and Relaxing

My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Molasses Pond. We are from the midwest and wanted to see and experience Maine. We found the VRBO very clean, decorated beautifully, quiet and relaxing. Communication with owner, Naomi, went very smoothly. We went to Bar Harbor and Acadia Nat'l Park. Both were about a 45 minute drive away. The VRBO property was just as advertised if not even better than advertised. All of our needs were met.

Great spot!

We really enjoyed our stay - we all wish we could have stayed longer! The apartment is beautiful and spacious - the owners have done a great job and it is very well thought out. We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boating and the fire pit. If you like lobster rolls, don't miss out on Dorr's which is a 30 minute drive away. Delicious!

About the host

Hosted by Naomi Treadwell

We love the water! For more than 18 years we lived on a small island in Maine accessible only by ferry and did lobster and other commercial fishing. We have also owned a marina on Lake Champlain.
While we love the ocean, the freshwater offers much better opportunities for swimming, kayaking and fishing. So that is why we love this Lake House. It is not far from the beauty and majesty of the ocean but is located on fresh water with a sandy beach perfect for wading, swimming or launching a kayak. The loons are plentiful on the lake and it is good for fishing.

What makes this property unique

Not far from the property are well maintained dirt roads which lead to windmills. The dirt roads can be accessed by vehicles, ATVs, bikes or snowmobiles. These roads are great for seeing wildlife or hunting. We have seen a moose and many birds. The roads are intertwined with ATV trails and snowmobile trails. Some of the roads cross brooks that are good for fishing.
Take a drive, bike or recreational vehicle and enjoy the beauty of the woods nearby or just stay there and relax by the water.
