The property is lovely and the instructions about access, check in etc are all very clear. Communication with Ralph is very good. This is an extremely well equipped rental property, with the best outfitted kitchen I have ever had in a vacation rental. Bed was soft but comfortable. We were there during a heatwave and never needed the AC - the air cools off overnight.The property is all as described - great areas to just relax and read or look at birds (a small sample include loons, eagles, osprey, kingfisher, woodpeckers and more). As noted, bring water shoes - you need to take a few steps into kind of sludgeey ground to get in the water, but the lake is cool and clear - great for swimming.One small note - while we were there one of the neighbors spent a lot of time on their porch watching TV or their phone, so there was a bit of that tinny noise off and on throughout the days, but one has to expect some noise when there are a row of cottages along a lake.

We had a great stay here! The house was spotless and was the perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the loft bedroom with the sitting area that looks over the lake - so peaceful to relax. Fishing off the dock was really good and kept everyone entertained. The dock gets great morning sun and in the afternoon the backyard has plenty. The water is shallow around the dock and fun for playing and exploring. We took the kayaks out a few times. The loons were frequent visitors and we could not get enough of them. The eagle visited, too! Groceries were about 15 minutes away and the kitchen is well equipped if you prefer to have meals at home. Ralph was easy to communicate with and very thorough with his information, and we are grateful for him sharing his home!

So Peaceful

This lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Great Bass fishing, averages about 3 -4 lbs that we caught during our stay. Kitchen is fully equipped that no matter what you cook or bake, they got it covered with pots/pans/utensils. Great view of the lake from the loft, livingroom and downstair bedroom. Lake is super clean but you may want to wear watershoes for comfort. Ralph was a super great host. Answered all questions within a timely fashion. Thank you Ralph and Kim for a great place to stay at.

BEAUTIFUL week on Center Pond!!!

This property was absolutely wonderful. It was so very clean and well stocked with everything you can think of that you would need or want! The location was great, so very peaceful and quiet. It was back a dirt road about 2.2 miles but that is one of the things my husband and I loved about it!!!! Fishing was awesome for us, we caught over 80 bass, most were from 3 1/2 pound to 5 pound#!!! The resident eagles LOVED to follow us around the pond as we fished! We traveled to Bangor, Greenville, Dexter, and Dover-Foxcroft for short little day trips, but we really hated to leave the "camp". Ralph was great to deal with! We stayed at the VRBO rental for 2 weeks and absolutely loved everything about it! We would LOVE to return in the future! We were sad to leave!

Center Pond Retreat

Ralph and Kim are exceptional hosts! Great communication throughout the booking and check-in processes, including a detailed guide to the home and area and very helpful directions to the camp (with photos!). The house was very well stocked with everything we needed for our stay and more. We took advantage of the 2 included kayaks and enjoyed paddling around the peaceful pond. We also enjoyed the use of the hammock, fire pit, and ample waterfront seating. The beds were extremely comfortable, which was a nice treat after days of hiking nearby. We ventured to Peaks-Kenney State Park, Dover-Foxcroft, Bangor, and did a day trip to Acadia. You must try Butterfields Ice Cream, The Cluckin Moo, and Stutzmans for delicious options. We also took advantage of the day passes offered by Friends of Community Fitness for those missing their full workouts while we were vacationing, the facilities were great and the staff was friendly. The nearby Shaws supermarket in D-F had everything we needed. Overall, it was a relaxing stay at the cabin and we would definitely recommend!

Very good vacation

Absolutely loved our stay at the cabin on the lakefront! The location was breathtaking with stunning views of the serene lake right from the cabin's doorstep. The host was extremely welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. Waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoying the beautiful sunsets made our stay truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. Five stars all the way!

Wonderful week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful spot! We never had a reason to contact the owners, as they have thought of everything, but they still reached out to make sure that we were all set. The wi-fi was excellent, even when we were outside watching for the daily loon and bald eagle sightings. The property is very private due to a nice buffer of trees on each side. The beds are very comfortable, which was appreciated at the end of a fun day of hiking, kayaking, geocaching and/or swimming. It's a short drive to groceries and fun yummy eating spots. Don't miss the pizza buffet at Stuzman's, Butterfield's homemade ice cream, or a visit to Abbot Bakery! This part of our state is beautiful and staying here was great to return to after doing some exploring. We would've loved to have stayed longer!!

Perfect getaway

This property offers everything you need for a terrific, relaxing getaway. The owner responds quickly to any questions. The place is set up so well, that anything you think you might need, is there for you. The kayaks are a plus, and the lake is big enough to explore without being too big. The loons serenaded us each day, and we were fortunate in having the bald eagle fly over as we fished. The dock has steps for easy entry into the chrystal clear pond. Sandy bottom with some rocks, but easy to walk in. Take west road directly off of Sangierville rd, down a well maintained, clearly marked dirt road to the cabin. There is direct tv with streaming services, and another upstairs with direct tv. Only 30 to 40 minutes from Greenville and Moosehead lake region. 2 hrs from Acadia. Cleanest vacation home we have rented. Pictures do not show how spacious it feels. Plenty of room to spread out. We hope to visit again.

Excellent week at Center Pond. Very nice property and quiet. Owner is very attentive if needed. Beautiful area. Would recommend visiting Stutzman's Farm, Peace Love and Waffles. and Turning Page Farm. Mt. Kineo and Borestone Mountain (Audubon Sanctuary) are also great if you want some easy hikes (Note: somewhat physically challenging if not in decent shape).
