Relaxing vacation

This is our second year staying in the cottage. We had a wonderful trip enjoying the kayaks and the canoe that were included in our stay. We also enjoyed the local hiking trails, swimming, and sitting on the dock enjoying the gorgeous view. My husband caught quite a few bass fishing from the dock. Jody was very helpful with suggestions on local places to visit and very quick to respond to texts and email. I can’t say enough about this cottage. We hope to return again next year!

Great for families

Wonderful property on a serene lake. Jody was a wonderful host and we are so grateful for the memories made on East Pond. There was more than enough space for our family of five and there were plenty of games and a well rounded selection of movies to entertain during downtime / rainy days. Morning fishing off the dock was a great way to start each day!

Cottage was perfect for our annual week on the lake. Small but functional kitchen fed lots of family and friends. The cottage is small enough to encourage everyone to spend lots of time outside, but roomy enough for hanging out on our one rainy day. New dock steps were a hit!

Well cared for property with everything you need

Delightful and well cared for property with everything we needed for a week away from it all. Loved waking up with the rising sun, swimming off the dock, and taking my breakfast outside. For being a settled area, the water was mostly clear with very little boat traffic - very relaxing and great for taking the kayak or canoe out. Lots of aquatic wildlife to watch. The host was great and offered constant support and even activity ideas when it was raining. Highly recommended.

Amazing Waterfront Experience

We had an amazing stay at the property. It was stocked well with all of the essentials that make a rental house easy to enjoy. (Spices, oil, sugar, ziploc bags, extra toothbrushes, wireless speaker, etc.) We brought our 19’ bass boat and caught a few dozen smallmouth and largemouth bass around the pond. Swimming was easy and fun, with brownie points for the steps with handrail that led down into the water. We saw so many loon families and enjoyed their calls. Thank you for a great visit!

East Pond Maine

Wonderful experience staying on East Pond. The house was in a fantastic location directly on the lake, was clean, well maintained and was well equipped with the small items to make the stay easy (ziplock bags, trash bags, paper towels, napkins, spices, etc.). The location was quiet, peaceful and There were kayaks and a canoe available to use. The property owner, Jody, was super attentive, communicative and responsive. The washing machine was broken but Jody paid for in town full service laundry! Was an incredible experience all around. Highly recommended.

Beautiful cottage on the Lake

We are a bit of a traveling circus with four kids in tow, so spending a week at your adorable cottage was the perfect respite from the hustle and bustle of our normal "activity overload" lifestyle. There was the total wow factor from the kids the moment we pulled up... the house, the lake, the upstairs bedroom, the art supplies... everything made them "Ooo" & "Aaahh"! The first half of the week was spent fishing from your dock -- I think we exhausted all the sunnies & bass living nearby with the kids' constant catch & release. Three out of four of our kids enjoyed the kayaks & canoe, but they all LOVED swimming! I loved watching them swim while enjoying my book in the comfortable Adirondack chairs (dry & warm!). If you're thinking about renting this cottage, you won't find a more attentive host than Jody. She has really thought of everything to make your stay comfortable & feel like home.

Perfect October Getaway on East Pond

What a spectacular extended weekend on East Pond in early October to celebrate my 50th bday with my family. It was perfect from start to finish. Jody was an amazing host in giving us info about the lake/area and also left a bday gift for when we arrived...so thoughtful. We had spectacular fall weather with warm days and cool evenings. We loved having the gas fire stove to warm us up during those evenings. We spent the days out on the water in their kayaks/canoes paddling, fishing and exploring and seeing so much wildlife. It was so quiet and peaceful being there that time of year and we could hear the loons calling day and night. The house is very comfortably equipped but still has the old camp charm, which our family loves. We cooked all our meals at the house, and even though the kitchen is small, it had everything we needed to cook full meals along with the outside grill too. My favorite was sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee in the quiet beauty. We can't wait to go back again as a family in the fall next year!!! Thanks Jody!
