The house was great, very clean and very accommodating with lots of supplies that you may need the outside could use a little TLC but nothing major our only complaint and it’s just barely a complaint is that it didn’t have any of the regular TV stations like ABC NBC so one we were out and about hiking all day and we are baseball fans and wanted to come home and watch the playoffs but couldn’t, but that was minor all in all. It was a positive experience !

This place was an amazing spot to rest, and take in great views. The use of the kayaks was a huge bonus. It was clean, cozy, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, and there were bald eagles and loons to see. Ben was immediately responsive to any and all of my questions. I felt very supported during my stay.

Cabin on the water

We had a great stay. The loons on the pond and bald eagles were a great site while out kayaking. The house had everything we needed. Short drives for necessities but still a quiet place to be. Owner was very responsive.

Trip to Maine

My husband and I really enjoyed this property. The house was small and cozy and had all the amenities we needed for our week in Maine. We really liked sitting out on the porch listening to all the birds in the pond. We hope to come back one day and would love to stay here again.

Lovely and relaxing

The property was exactly as shown in the pictures. The view of the lake was wonderful morning, noon and night. We appreciated the available kayaks. The host was very accommodating and easy to work with. The only negative comment we have is that the water pressure in the bathroom was very low, especially in the shower. We will stay here agaIn!

Nice weekend

The directions and entry process were easy to follow and the cute place was very clean for our weekend. We went to Bar Harbor tor the day and went to see James Taylor at the Maine Savings Amphitheater. We enjoyed the short commute home and the welcoming sound of the loons on the pond!

Little piece of heaven

My husband and I loved the lake house. It was very peaceful and relaxing. We loved watching the chipmunks play, the loons and the Bald Eagle that landing on the tree in front of us. My husband took out the kayak to explore the pond. The place was clean and everything it described in the posting. When I did have a question Ben answered right away. I would definitely stay there again. Also, loved watching the sunrise over the water.

Great views! Centrally located.

So, what can I say that hasn’t already been highlighted. The property itself is your a typical Maine lake house. It is close to a few amenities like Hannifords and a few restaurants but not too far from Bangor. The interior is completely updated and is stocked as you would expect with top quality rentals. Views are top notch. And Ben our host is and was extremely responsive. This is definitely a place I would recommend If you’re on the hunt for something off the regular market. A+ listing as described.

Nice spot

We needed a place that would accommodate our dogs. This worked out great. Nice quiet area. Clean, a little off the beaten path, had everything we needed and perfect for our short stay for the UMaine graduation. My only complaints: the water pressure, the sudden loss of electricity (something out of a horror movie) which was not the owners fault and the eyesore next door also not the owners fault. Thank you!

Not happy

This is not a small cabin in the woods by yourself. It has close neighbors and is not really far from everything nor close. It does not have a usable hot tub though when we booked it, it was part of the amenities. Also there is a dock and some very steep stairs that go to the water. Apparently if the area gets rain the dock goes under water and you have no access to the lake. We asked the host to consider giving us a discount of $50 per night for the stay due to the broken hot tub and the dock being underwater giving us no access to the lake. We got the run around for over a month and the host has refused to work with us on these issues with the house. I have never left a bad review but I would not recommend this property.

Perfect location

Great location for easy drives to all of the sights in Maine. Bangor, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Moosehead Lake and even a nice short drive to St Andrews New Brunswick. It is on a pond with great views but the steps to get to are steep and sloping. Can take a walk on the quiet dead end road. Cabin was very clean with everything you would need. Easy communication with the owners. Would definitely stay again.

Resident Loons and Eagle on this Beautiful Lake

This is a beautiful waterfront property that overlooks Hermon Pond, a fun fishing lake. The cottage sits up off the lake for good views. The deck of the cottage is wonderful for bbq and watching the loons and the resident eagle. The cottage interior is simple and complete with linens, gadgets, s&p and papergoods. Furniture it's comfy, bed is very cushy. The view was obstructed but the window is to be replaced soon. Parking is perfect, good airflow and HVAC. Obvious care has gone into this place. Ben and Autumn are wonderfully responsive, exchanging the washing machine and giving us help and instruction when we asked. There was a mouse issue, very temporary I'm sure, because the cottage is very clean. We hope to return next year. Thank you Ben and Autumn for your hospitality.
