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

Vi börjar ta reservationer för 2020 den 1 januari. Firefly Cottage är ett underbart fritidshus för familjer, par och aktiva äldre. Om du har problem med rörlighet, ställa frågor, eftersom vårt hem kanske inte passar dig. Vi vill att våra gäster ska ha en rolig och bekväm semester. Uthyrning går lördag till lördag.
TOP TEN RÄSKER ATT STÅDA PÅ FIREFLY COTTAGE
1. Vår charmiga stuga ligger 100 meter från stranden av Hobbs Pond i en lugn, privat miljö under vackra träd. Den sover fyra mycket bekvämt i två övervåningen sovrum med tallgolv, ett med en queen size-säng och den andra med två enkelsängar. Downstairs erbjuder ett välutrustat kök, vardagsrum, matsal och ett komplett badrum med dusch / badkar. Vackert inredda med flätade mattor och bekväma möbler. WiFi, platt-TV med DVD-spelare, brädspel, DVD-skivor, böcker, två däck, ett med gasgrill och picknickbord och det andra intill sjön, barnvänligt. Hängmatta för att ta en tupplur. Sängkläder av hög kvalitet finns på sängarna. Strandstaden Camden ligger bara 10 minuters bilresa bort. Uthyrning går varje vecka, lördag till lördag. Firefly Cottage är det BÄSTA värdet på Hobbs Pond och särskilt i det omgivande området.
2. En lugn, orörd, vårmatad sjö ligger precis vid ditt dörrsteg! Erbjuder fantastiskt bad och fiske plus två kajaker, en brygga, badleksaker (nudlar och sprutpistoler) och ett badflöde. Vårt sjösidodäck är ett utmärkt ställe att sitta och njuta av ljudet från lemmarna eller den vackra utsikten över våra kustbergen. En liten eldstad för att steka marshmallows sitter bredvid däck. Steg leder ner i sjön för enkel åtkomst.
3. Vi kanske är en liten stad men vårt område är överflödigt av kulturella attraktioner. Museer, konstgallerier, musikfestivaler, hummerfestival, filmfestival, vingårdar, antikaffärer och show / musik / filmer vid Camden operahus och Strandteatern är bara en bråkdel av saker att göra här.
4. The Great Outdoors: Det är här bergen möter havet och vi har många vandringsleder för alla förmågor som gör att du kan se allt. Följ spåren i Camden Hills State Park, Coastal Mountain Land Trust och Georges River Land Trust. Du kan också hyra cyklar för att kryssa våra lokala bakvägar.
5. Vårt område är ett Foodies-paradis. Camden, Rockport och Rockland är hem för många fina, fantastiska restauranger av alla slag. Matlagningskurser erbjuds också lokalt. Hope har sin egen pub (Hatchet Mountain Public House) där lokalbefolkningen kopplar av med en mugg en öl. Många restauranger har uteservering på sommaren, vissa med bord precis vid Camden Harbour.
6. På tal om Camden Harbour är vår hamn värd för ett nav med aktiviteter inklusive segling, kajakpaddling, paddling och sightseeing. Ta en två timmars kryssning på en historisk skonare som Appledore eller Olad. Vi glädjer oss över det stora utbudet av höga mastiga fartyg som seglar genom våra vatten.
7. Hummer! Maines ikoniska mat kan avnjutas på så många sätt. Från hummerrullshackar till gourmetberedningar hittar du många sätt att skrapa din hummerklåda på våra lokala restauranger. Maine hummerfestivalen hålls i början av augusti. Firefly Cottage är också utrustad med en hummerpotte så att du kan laga din egen.
8. Gateway till Downeast: Vi är centralt beläget på Maine's midcoast vilket gör oss till en idealisk startpunkt för utforskningar till Acadia National Park, Coastal Maine Botanical Gardens, fyrar, stränder, Fort Knox (ta med dina ficklampor) och många andra roliga platser att utforska.
9. Människorna: Vårt sällsynta skönhet är parallellt med sin känsla av plats. Det kanske beror på våra kalla Maine-vintrar när vi alla ser efter varandra, men de människor som kallar vårt område hem är några av de mest vänliga, robusta förfinade människor du någonsin kommer att träffa. Du kommer att välkomnas med öppna armar.
10. Firefly Cottage är det bästa värdet på Hobbs Pond och särskilt i vårt omgivande område. Vi vill att du ska ha en prisvärd semester medan du fortfarande upplever en attraktiv, bekväm och ren plats att bo medan du besöker. Stugan ligger tillräckligt nära ägarnas hem (2 mil) för att vi kan vara till hjälp för våra gäster vid behov, samtidigt som du erbjuder dig integritet. Vi lever verkligen i ett autentiskt pittoreskt och charmigt samhälle. Vi är stolta över vårt samhälle och dess omgivningar och hoppas som återspeglas i allt vi gör. Koppla ur, koppla av och njut av din familj och vänner på en plats du vill återvända till igen och igen.
FIREFLY COTTAGE ÄR ETT RÖKFRI HEM. VI LÅTER INTE VAPING. INGEN husdjur, snälla. MAXIMAL AKTIVITET ÄR 4 GÄSTER. Alla sängkläder tillhandahålls. 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.

September getaway

Firefly Cottage was a lovely relaxing setting for a post-Labor Day Maine vacation. A great place to read, cook, watch the water or just hang out, but also close to Camden/Rockland. We enjoyed the Litchfield Fair, Owls Head Lighthouse (Maine Open Lighthouse Day), Belfast for sightseeing and shops, and a day trip to Acadia NP. Such a good time, highly recommend!!

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.

Perfect Tranquil Getaway

We stayed her 2 nights during a tour of New England while visiting Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (about 2 hours away). The house was very cozy, clean and secluded in the woods. The owner was very friendly and even left us some delicious Whoopie Pies. Hobbs Pond really feels more like a lake and it is beautiful. The owners provided 2 kayaks for us to use which was awesome. I enjoyed a nice kayak ride across the water with no one on the lake but a friendly loon. The sounds of the local loons were also a delight. I would stay here again for sure.

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.

Varför värden 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.
