    Absolutely beautiful property, the privacy was unrivaled and I’m from a very rural area in PA. The views were awesome and the cabin had everything we needed and then some! Highly recommended for a family getaway or lovers getaway. We honeymooned there and will forever treasure the time we had there enjoying the lake fishing and autumn trees turning.

    Had an incredible time at this cottage in Great Pond. The cottage was wonderfully stocked and we felt at home right away. The screened in porch is probably where we spent the most time and was perfect for our two dogs. The water was absolutely beautiful and we were happy to have use of the canoe. Like others have said, finding the property was a bit tough, but read the check in instructions and you'll be fine.

    Great pond

    We had a great time! The house was very clean and beautiful. The only complaint, was the docks were not out on the water as advertised in the listing and the wifi did not work. I would maybe add to the listing that docks are only out during certain times of year.

    The property was as advertised. It is a beautiful cabin hidden in an amazing spot. The water access was great, kids loved the paddle boat, fishing off the pier, and swimming in the pond. There is nothing that I would change. Thank you for letting us stay at your house.

    A Wonderful Escape

    We had a lovely stay in Great Pond! Sun room is gorgeous and there are plenty of places to enjoy the lake. As a backyard birder I especially enjoyed the Loons, Owls, Chickadees and so much more in the surrounding trees. The only thing that was unfortunate was the dock wasn’t yet set up, and that was a major reason we were looking forward to our stay. There weren’t many safe areas without the dock to load in and out especially with a dog. Still, looking forward to future visits to the area!

    Such a lovely property! My boyfriend and I enjoyed the beautiful views as well as the fire pit and hot tub, such a lovely spot. Our dog has never been happier getting to swim in the stunning pond and relax on the deck and screened in porch. The home inside is so lovely as well and even if the weather wasn’t 100% outside we enjoyed watching movies inside. Although it’s a little ways away to Acadia we still were excited after a long day of hiking to come back and enjoy the serene property. We would definitely book this property again and cannot recommend it enough!

    Nice, but remote

    Nice stay, we enjoyed our stay. The location is unique and enjoyable, but be aware that the locarion is quite remote and there is limited phone service on the property. Also, the water heater does not keep up with hot water demands if there are a lot of people needing water. Overall, we were glad we chose this house because it was a very nice setting. Our family loved the hot tub and the very large pond.

    A dream family vacation

    This was truly a dream.My parents, my little pup and I spent an amazing week at the Great Pond retreat in July.. We got very lucky with the weather . The house had everything we could’ve ask for and more. It was set up with love and we could tell the owners put a lot of thought into every detail. Gene was very responsive and helpful.We all relaxed and enjoyed the beautiful surroundings.We loved it so much that immediately after getting home we booked the house for the next year’s summer vacation.

    Honeymoon Getaway

    We had a great stay. The access to water, nature, and a secluded oasis was the much needed break we needed. Property had all the amenities inside that we needed. It was extremely quiet and dark outside in evening. It was very easy to get rest. The property was slightly not as pictured due to seasonal change for some of it but the hot tub was different than the one pictured and the cabin has shed a bit since pictured. The cottage did have a lot of character and we would book again. The location an hour from Airport in Bangor, Ellsworth, and Acadia National Park made it a great location once you figure out which driveway it is down. Did try to reach out to host with no luck, but we were able to figure it out on our own. We were away from it all, but could easily get where we wanted to go, so all in all a great trip!

    Remote luxury on a clear Maine Lake

    The house was everything pictured and more. It's well-established, but very modern. Although the weather was cold and windy part of our visit, we felt comfortable and relaxed. The lake is pristine and my grandson loved taking the paddle boat out with his grandpa. The landscaping was really luxurious and planted carefully to grow in place for the future. Hummingbirds entertained us from our seat in the hot tub and the floral fragrance was an added bonus. The kitchen is well equipped, and the appliances including a gas range were perfect. The beds were comfortable, but the loft space was so small our grandson at 5'4" couldn't stand upright. The bathroom is a little outdated with a spa garden tub and a shower stall as opposed to a larger shower and smaller more usable tub. The drive to the house is a couple of miles off the beaten path, yet the road is fully occupied with landowners and rental houses. It's a nice neighborhood, though quite remote, which is what we wanted.

    Fabulous setting and comfortable home

    A great place to stay with so many amenities, a high quality home on a gorgeous remote lake setting. The biggest surprise was a 1500+ pound bull moose running full speed crashing through the forest. The fall colors were just starting along with impressive sunrises. The listing should emphasize remote area with no cell phone coverage. There is wifi, but spotty...email is fine. The house has a land line but no long distance capability for inbound/outbound calls. A member of our party was seriously injured on the property. In the emergency we reached the county sherriff, who then summoned emergency services (arrived one hour later). The situation was made worse by having to drive 15 minutes to find cell phone service in order to coordinate additional ongoing assistance to our injured party. The generosity of the owner during and after the emergency was exceptional and appreciated. This is a great young family get away or for a romantic getaway but future renters should communicate closely with the owner if you have any reservations about renting a remote property. Additionally, the listing should explain when the dock is stored on shore. We learned after making our final lease payment that fishing dramatically closes to many species on October 1. Our stay was negatively affected by this when we had expected a two-week fishing experience from Washington state to remote Maine. Although our stay was marred by an emergency, I highly recommend this property. We loved it.

    Amazing views

    I don't know how the check in process usually occurs and maybe this was a fluke experience but I had not gotten a single message from VRBO or the property manager from day 1 of booking. I was expecting a full detailed check in process but got silence for months. My wife and I searched the area for 45- 60 min and finally met with a resident on the lake (very nice woman) who also agreed it was unacceptable that we got no special instructions especially on how to find the cabin. She was very courteous and led us to the cabin a short distance away. Once there, the cabin and experiences were amazing . We spent a lot of time at the lake and the sunroom. Bluetooth speakers in the home were very nice and easy to connect to. Cabin was fully stocked and well updated. Overall we would definitely revisit. Serenity 👌

    Perfect getaway

    This was hands down the best vacation property we’ve ever rented! The house and grounds are even nicer in person than they are in the pictures. The lighting and the decor are a total vibe. The lake is stunning, especially the loons serenading us each night. The home has a ton of character and is extremely well loved. We appreciate that so much more than corporations owned renral properties that have no love or character to them. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful home with us! Our stay was perfect.

    Peaceful Cottage

    We enjoyed our stay! The house was well equipped with everything we needed. Well thought out extras and wonderful design outside and inside. The area is quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed listening to the loons and the serenity of nature. If you want a place to get away and reset this is the place! Close enough to take day trips to Acadia, Bar Harbor, or Lubec. Also enough to keep you entertained at the cottage so no need to leave!
