Firefly Cottage - Lakefront Cottage in Hope - Maine's Best Kept Secret

Vi börjar ta reservationer för 2020 den 1 januari. Firefly Cottage Àr ett underbart fritidshus för familjer, par och aktiva Àldre. Om du har problem med rörlighet, stÀlla frÄgor, eftersom vÄrt hem kanske inte passar dig. Vi vill att vÄra gÀster ska ha en rolig och bekvÀm semester. Uthyrning gÄr lördag till lördag.
TOP TEN RÄSKER ATT STÅDA PÅ FIREFLY COTTAGE
1. VĂ„r charmiga stuga ligger 100 meter frĂ„n stranden av Hobbs Pond i en lugn, privat miljö under vackra trĂ€d. Den sover fyra mycket bekvĂ€mt i tvĂ„ övervĂ„ningen sovrum med tallgolv, ett med en queen size-sĂ€ng och den andra med tvĂ„ enkelsĂ€ngar. Downstairs erbjuder ett vĂ€lutrustat kök, vardagsrum, matsal och ett komplett badrum med dusch / badkar. Vackert inredda med flĂ€tade mattor och bekvĂ€ma möbler. WiFi, platt-TV med DVD-spelare, brĂ€dspel, DVD-skivor, böcker, tvĂ„ dĂ€ck, ett med gasgrill och picknickbord och det andra intill sjön, barnvĂ€nligt. HĂ€ngmatta för att ta en tupplur. SĂ€ngklĂ€der av hög kvalitet finns pĂ„ sĂ€ngarna. Strandstaden Camden ligger bara 10 minuters bilresa bort. Uthyrning gĂ„r varje vecka, lördag till lördag. Firefly Cottage Ă€r det BÄSTA vĂ€rdet pĂ„ Hobbs Pond och sĂ€rskilt i det omgivande omrĂ„det.
2. En lugn, orörd, vÄrmatad sjö ligger precis vid ditt dörrsteg! Erbjuder fantastiskt bad och fiske plus tvÄ kajaker, en brygga, badleksaker (nudlar och sprutpistoler) och ett badflöde. VÄrt sjösidodÀck Àr ett utmÀrkt stÀlle att sitta och njuta av ljudet frÄn lemmarna eller den vackra utsikten över vÄra kustbergen. En liten eldstad för att steka marshmallows sitter bredvid dÀck. Steg leder ner i sjön för enkel Ätkomst.
3. Vi kanske Àr en liten stad men vÄrt omrÄde Àr överflödigt av kulturella attraktioner. Museer, konstgallerier, musikfestivaler, hummerfestival, filmfestival, vingÄrdar, antikaffÀrer och show / musik / filmer vid Camden operahus och Strandteatern Àr bara en brÄkdel av saker att göra hÀr.
4. The Great Outdoors: Det Àr hÀr bergen möter havet och vi har mÄnga vandringsleder för alla förmÄgor som gör att du kan se allt. Följ spÄren i Camden Hills State Park, Coastal Mountain Land Trust och Georges River Land Trust. Du kan ocksÄ hyra cyklar för att kryssa vÄra lokala bakvÀgar.
5. VÄrt omrÄde Àr ett Foodies-paradis. Camden, Rockport och Rockland Àr hem för mÄnga fina, fantastiska restauranger av alla slag. Matlagningskurser erbjuds ocksÄ lokalt. Hope har sin egen pub (Hatchet Mountain Public House) dÀr lokalbefolkningen kopplar av med en mugg en öl. MÄnga restauranger har uteservering pÄ sommaren, vissa med bord precis vid Camden Harbour.
6. PÄ tal om Camden Harbour Àr vÄr hamn vÀrd för ett nav med aktiviteter inklusive segling, kajakpaddling, paddling och sightseeing. Ta en tvÄ timmars kryssning pÄ en historisk skonare som Appledore eller Olad. Vi glÀdjer oss över det stora utbudet av höga mastiga fartyg som seglar genom vÄra vatten.
7. Hummer! Maines ikoniska mat kan avnjutas pÄ sÄ mÄnga sÀtt. FrÄn hummerrullshackar till gourmetberedningar hittar du mÄnga sÀtt att skrapa din hummerklÄda pÄ vÄra lokala restauranger. Maine hummerfestivalen hÄlls i början av augusti. Firefly Cottage Àr ocksÄ utrustad med en hummerpotte sÄ att du kan laga din egen.
8. Gateway till Downeast: Vi Àr centralt belÀget pÄ Maine's midcoast vilket gör oss till en idealisk startpunkt för utforskningar till Acadia National Park, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, fyrar, strÀnder, Fort Knox (ta med dina ficklampor) och mÄnga andra roliga platser att utforska.
9. MÀnniskorna: VÄrt sÀllsynta skönhet Àr parallellt med sin kÀnsla av plats. Det kanske beror pÄ vÄra kalla Maine-vintrar nÀr vi alla ser efter varandra, men de mÀnniskor som kallar vÄrt omrÄde hem Àr nÄgra av de mest vÀnliga, robusta förfinade mÀnniskor du nÄgonsin kommer att trÀffa. Du kommer att vÀlkomnas med öppna armar.
10. Firefly Cottage Àr det bÀsta vÀrdet pÄ Hobbs Pond och sÀrskilt i vÄrt omgivande omrÄde. Vi vill att du ska ha en prisvÀrd semester medan du fortfarande upplever en attraktiv, bekvÀm och ren plats att bo medan du besöker. Stugan ligger tillrÀckligt nÀra Àgarnas hem (2 mil) för att vi kan vara till hjÀlp för vÄra gÀster vid behov, samtidigt som du erbjuder dig integritet. Vi lever verkligen i ett autentiskt pittoreskt och charmigt samhÀlle. Vi Àr stolta över vÄrt samhÀlle och dess omgivningar och hoppas som Äterspeglas i allt vi gör. Koppla ur, koppla av och njut av din familj och vÀnner pÄ en plats du vill ÄtervÀnda till igen och igen.
FIREFLY COTTAGE ÄR ETT RÖKFRI HEM. VI LÅTER INTE VAPING. INGEN husdjur, snĂ€lla. MAXIMAL AKTIVITET ÄR 4 GÄSTER. Alla sĂ€ngklĂ€der tillhandahĂ„lls. FÖR STÖD, FRÅGA VI ATT DU LÄRER DIN EGNA BADHANDSLÅNG.

Another Perfect Week at Firefly Cottage

We returned to Firefly Cottage this year and it was more wonderful than the last time. It is quiet, private, clean, and well-equipped. The peace I felt as I had my morning coffee down by the water and hearing the loons at night was just what I needed in a Maine vacation. Perfect for a single, couple, or a small family- this place is comfortable and memorable.

Trip with adult son

We loved the property and location. My son caught alot of fish and we loved hearing the loons calling to each other. It was a good place to start day trips from to other cities in Maine. I loved the woods and the shade it provided.

Relaxing lake cottage

Had a wonderful time at your very quiet relaxing cottage. Enjoyed the games, dvds and kayaks that were provided for us to us. The water was clear and so calm for kayaking. Enjoyed watching and listening to the loons. The cottage provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay.

Amazing lakefront cottage

We love visiting Maine, this was our first time staying in a cottage on the lake and it was a dream. Very peaceful, sitting outside and having coffee in the morning was great. My husband had fun fishing while I sat by the lake reading. Would definitely return.

Lakefront paradise

We had a wonderful stay at this vintage Maine property. The cottage, location, and amenities were EXACTLY as described and the owners could not be nicer or more helpful. We were a group of three, ages 64, 25, and 23, and all found the cottage, paths, lake access, etc. comfortable and easy to manage. Thank you Swift family for sharing this piece of Maine, and we hope to return again!

A relaxing getaway on a quiet pond with scenic sunsets.

We enjoyed getting up early and sipping our coffee on the deck outside the cabin then heading down to the lower deck by the pond. The location was perfect for visiting nearby towns Camden/ Rockport/ Belfast. The small Hope general store and nearby Linconville general store are a must stop for a cup of coffee and muffin or a pizza. Did nearby hikes up Bald Mountain, Maidens Cliff and Fernalds Neck. Next time Hatchet Mountain.

Vacation at Lakehouse

We are a young couple who stayed for 3 nights at the cottage. We had a great stay. The cottage was cool, small but plants of room for 2 and could’ve comfortably fit 4. The lake was amazing. I would recommend taking the kayaks out for a day. Some good hikes nearby and lots of small Oceanside towns to see along the coast. WiFi worked great. No cable but games and DVDs were provided. Overall a great relaxing stay

A lovely lakeside retreat

My husband, 2yo son, and I had a lovely time at firefly. Every morning we sat out on the deck by the lake enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the loons. You do have to bring your own bath towels, which was a bit of an inconvenience for us since we already had toddler stuff in tow, but otherwise the cottage had all of the basics. A lovely, quiet retreat in the woods.

Great cottage for the price

Beautiful and quiet pond. We stayed the week of July 4th and felt we had the lake to ourselves. Kayaking was great. The loons were always around and beautiful. Fishing and swimming off the dock was so fun.The rainy day we had led us to a day in Freeport for shopping at LL Bean! It was so nice being 20 minutes away from beautiful Camden-we had dinner in town several times. The cabin was clean and cute. The pictures are very accurate.

Far exceeded our expectations!

Our family loved this cottage! Our goal on this vacation was to take day trips to many of the harbor towns nearby...only it was very hard to get our kids to leave the cottage because they were having so much fun. It was so relaxing, clean and quiet. I enjoyed my mornings by having my coffee sitting down on the deck and my evening strolls in the kayak. We even had a little fire in the fire pit one night and had smores. This was one of our most enjoyable family vacations. Kathy (the owner) was so helpful to answer all my questions before booking and also gave me suggestions about restaurants and area attractions. I would definitely book this cottage in the future and have already recommended it to family & friends.

Adorable Cottage

Beautiful stay. The cottage was adorable, kitchen was very well equipped and super clean! Kathy gave us native strawberries on our arrival, along with the cutest vase of fresh flowers. We loved the path to the lower deck toward the water, with pine trees and ferns. We swam and used our blow up boat. There were swim noodles, a buggy board and kayaks to use. The view from the lower deck was lovely. One of our favorite things was listening to the Loons. There are many videos in the cottage along with game boards. The video on the Loons was a nice touch. We visited Three Bug Farm (they have freshest salad greens), Linconville General store (best pizza), Linconville Beach, Camden Clothesline Laundry (laundry stop), downtown Camden, Belfast, Bucksport, and the Lincolnville Strawberry Festival. We hope to visit again!

Relaxing little retreat

After some initial cleaning to bring the cabin up to our standards, we settled in and became a bit more comfortable. We still can’t get over carpeting throughout the whole downstairs including the kitchen and bathroom though. The bathroom carpet was soaked when we got there from the previous renters. The house is in need of some maintenance, ripped screens etc. . The kitchen, although small, was well equipped. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable with hardwood floors. The pond was pristine and lovely. Great for fishing. Very pretty view. The fire pit at the edge of the pond at the lower deck was a nice touch. It was a great base camp for venturing out in the area. Plenty to do in Camden and the surrounding area.

We'll Be Back

We stayed at Firefly Cottage for a week and loved it. Hobb's Pond is a peaceful lake that is very clean. The loons were wonderful to listen to and we even saw a bald eagle. Camden is a delightful town to be a tourist in and there are many activities to do within just a few miles. The cottage is very comfortable for a family of 4 and is very clean and decorated in a very pleasing way. The new deck next to the lake was a great place to drink our morning coffee and greet the day. The owners are also very friendly and eager to make sure your vacation is enjoyable. They left fresh flowers in the cottage for us and packets of Maine wildflowers. The swimming and fishing were great fun for our kids and the kayaks allowed us to really explore the lake. We found a great sand beach across the lake from the cottage. We enjoyed our stay at Firefly immensely and plan to return someday. We felt it was a great value for such a nice little home and would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing vacation.

Firefly Cottage

The cottage was clean and organized. All of the cottages we rented on this trip had 2:00 or 3:00 check-in, so I thought this was a little late (4:00) But the biggest problem was that there is no mention of the bedrooms being on the second floor with some pretty steep stairs to climb. One of us had to sleep on the futon (that was broken and couldn't be opened) because of the stairs. I have looked over the description several times and the only thing I have found is that the cottage isn't wheelchair accessible. Not the same thing.

Sweet cottage on the water!

My family and I had a wonderful week at this sweet cottage. It was both relaxing and fun! We spent every day outside. The deck by the water is a lovely spot to have your morning coffee or tea and end the day with a campfire. We loved watching the full moon rise over the lake. Just beautiful! Hearing the loons was such a unique experience! There is so much to do without leaving the property...kayaking, swimming, fishing, reading in the hammock, and the owners thoughtfully provide all you need to enjoy your stay. Even though it’s located down a secluded gravel road, it’s a short drive to the surrounding towns, groceries, and great hikes/bike trails. The upstairs bedrooms are adorable! We loved waking up to the sunrise through the skylights. If you’re looking for a fancy place to stay, this isn’t for you...the kitchen and bathroom are a bit dated. But if you’re looking for a wonderful time away in nature in a beautiful setting, this cute cottage has everything you need in a great location!

Lovely Lake House

We spent a relaxing week in this wonderful lake house. It was perfect for a couple. It would have been fine for a couple of children, as well, but I wouldn’t recommend more than that. Recognize that the water from the faucets is not for drinking/cooking. I must have missed that in the description (but the owners kindly alerted me to the fact, prior to our arrival). This was slightly inconvenient as we occasionally forgot and used faucet water for brushing teeth, etc. I hope we don’t come to regret that (nobody likes Giardiasis). One reviewer took issue with the rough road to the house. It’s true that portions of the road are high-centered. We bottomed-out a Toyota Corolla our first time down. After that, we drove more slowly and with one set of wheels on the high, center ridge. We had no more problems.

Beautiful pond!

We enjoyed staying at this small cottage on beautiful Hobbs Pond. The interior of the cottage is small, but works well for two adults. Everything was clean and neat and the kitchen was fully stocked. The stairs are steep, but we had no problem. The lower deck near the water was great...we enjoyed having coffee there in the morning when the sun was shining on it. We went swimming most mornings and the water is so clean. We really enjoyed that. The sun only reaches the deck until about 11:00 am, and then is in the shade the rest of the day. Our only issue was that the deck off the house was not too inviting. It could use a good power washing and maybe a few decent chairs. We did use the grill, but would have liked to sit outside there more often. The whole lot is very wooded so be aware there's not much sun to warm you on a cool day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, Kathy was very attentive when we needed a new coffee pot, and the description of the cottage is very accurate. I would give it 5 stars for the interior, but 4 stars for the outside of the cottage. It is definitely a good deal, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great location without spending an arm and a leg.

Incredible location

This is a beautiful spot and really ideal for water lovers: there is a deck right on the water, a nice set of steps right into the water, a narrow dock out into the water, and a great old wooden float for jumping off of. Hobbs is pristine. There was some boating traffic, including a speed boat that very narrowly missed one of us in a kayak, but for the most part it is very quiet. There are several kayaks for use, which we really enjoyed. There is also a fire pit right at the water's edge, which we loved. 10/10 for the pond and access to it. Most of what you need to know about the cabin is well described, so read carefully! It's small! We caught two rainy days and struggled to play board games on the tiny kitchen table and to get comfortable for a movie (we are a family of four). I saw some recent mention of issues with cleanliness and we noticed no evidence of this at all, it was very tidy. The cabin does have a strong smell - I don't think this has to do with cleaning, it's just a house in the woods and it's VERY moist. We ran the dehumidifier every night and anytime we were all out of the house and it filled up each time. I think it's clear in the description but just in case: the stairs are steep and open on one side, so folks with small children and/or mobility issues should skip this one. Kitchen was nicely equipped. General location of the spot is excellent, there is so much to do around there for adults and kids, and we enjoyed several local meals. Host was very easy to communicate with, and we enjoyed the sweet bouquet of homegrown flowers and the treats she left for us. We weren't wild about being asked to vacuum the entire house, particularly as the vacuum provided did not work particularly well and lugging it up the steep steps to tackle small area rugs felt like a bit much while packing up a family of four to be out by 10. Overall: terrific pond, extremely tight fit for a family of four, kinda on the funky side.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting

I am very puzzled by some of the complaints I saw in the previous review so I want to make sure that in my review I respond to them. We just spent a very nice week in Firefly cottage. It is a relatively small, cozy cabin, ideal for a family of four people or less. We were two adults and two children, ages 11 and 15 and we felt very comfortable there. It has a nice kitchen, a dining area, and a cozy living room on the first floor, and two very nice bedrooms on the second floor, one with a full/queen bed and another with two twins. It also has a large deck with a gas grill and a table. It is beautifully decorated in a lodge/coastal style, has all kitchen utilities a family needs to cook in the cottage, and although it does not have a stove, there are heaters in every room, so it never was cold even on rainy days. Some people complained of the staircase. We had no problem at all. Yes, it does not have a railing, so you need to be careful but it is absolutely normal stairs, not dangerous at all. It is not for people with limited mobility though. Also, some people complained about the path to the lake. I am now puzzled. The path is wide and nice. Yes, it is woods path but what do you expect? t is a cabin in the woods. When it is dark, there are sensory lights on the path, very convinient. It takes less than half a minute to get to the lake from the house! The house is situated at the end of the dirt road, well passable yet secluded. You really do not have any walking/hiking paths right from the cabin but there are a few really nice hikes nearby. There are enough kayaks for four people, and the boat dock is very well done. There is a beautiful new deck by the lake with a bistro set and a fire pit, ideal to have a morning coffee or evening campfire. The view is beautiful! The entrance to the lake is very comfortable, the water is relatively warm, and the floating dock is a great addition. You can explore the lake by kayak or fish if you have a license. ( easy to buy and not expensive!) We kayaked and saw a female loon with babies really close! It was such fun! Camden with all typical Maine coastal village life is just 15 minutes away. The owner was very nice and helpful and made some suggestions that really made our stay very comfortable. We hope to be back next summer! Thank you!

Varför vÀrden valde detta boende

Hobbs Pond is one of the most pristine and quietest lakes in the area with wonderful swimming, boating, fishing, loons and other wildlife. Firefly Cottage sits under tall mature trees and offers cooling shade on warm summer days. You will experience privacy, peace and quiet when you want it, yet you are still close to many things to do and see. Camden is just a 10 minute drive away with many activities, restaurants, shops and galleries. Acadia National Park is a wonderful day trip. We are the ideal place to vacation in the Maine woods, offering both privacy and peace while still close to many activities and unique points of interest.

Vad som gör detta boende unikt

The lakeside deck is a wonderful place to sit by the lake, watch the kids swim, have a drink and offers gorgeous views of the Camden Hills. Loons abound in the lake and you will enjoy their calls. Take the kayaks out on the lake to get a closer look at these beautiful birds and their chicks. Our hammock is the perfect place to take a nap. The cottage is close enough to our home (2 miles) that we can be of assistance to our guests if needed, while still offering you privacy. Firefly Cottage sits in a quiet, peaceful location yet we are very close to all the activities our area offers.
