Overall the cottage accommodated us perfectly. The two decks came in handy as well as the gas grill. There was plenty of kitchen wares to make meals and a bathroom with shower worked great. We met the owners in our check out and they are very nice people. We would highly recommend this cottage
We had a great time during our visit in Maine. The house was perfect, very quiet and peaceful. Being on the lake was such a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back!
My children loved this stay, the had so much fun, plenty of room in the camp, the deck was a hit when we weren’t in the water, the surrounding areas were perfect for exploring. We had a great time spending the Fourth of July here! Would love to make it a yearly trip.
My sister’s and I were very impressed with the home. It was everything we expected and more. The view of the pond was amazing, we enjoined our morning coffee on the deck listening for the loons. Definitely plan to return for another Sister’s Weekend!!
Great location for a short Getaway. Owners were very friendly.

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in
Disliked: Location
Disappointing that there was little privacy at this site. Plenty of space, and porch bed is nice and firm. Trip hazards abound though with steps going to decks and varying floor heights. Nice and close to the water. Kitchen could be better appointed. Random selection of leds outside affected depth perception at night. More trip hazards. Active mice in walls.
Not only it this location ideal for all things fun in surrounding areas but it's so beautiful there you really wouldn't need to the leave to enjoy your stay!! Our family really enjoyed the house, the lake of course and everything available to you, for an amazing vacation. Can't wait to go back!!
The location is beautiful. Lovely sunrise and sense views from the deck. Full moon rose over the water seen from the deck as well. House was clean, but a bit outdated. Beautiful area for photography.
Our family has been renting on Molasses Pond for many years and we enjoyed our time at this homey cottage. The deck was fabulous, with its own pier/dock and a wonderful place to enjoy the water. However, there was on one or two days a substantial amount of noise from people on the public beach (one guy playing loud music from his van at 7:20 am). Not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of. We would certainly consider staying there again - excellent communication with owners and many thoughtful touches in the home. Thank you!
A week at this lovely pond and home was exactly what my family needed! Quiet with beautiful sunrises on the misty pond...evenings with a cozy pit fire. THANK YOU!
The cabin is in a great location. It’s right on a pond with a nice dock. It has a nice roomy kitchen, comfy bedrooms and a nice living room in which to relax. Outdoor space is very nice with direct access to the pond. Hosts were very nice and easy to communicate with.
