Waterfront Great Pond Cottage w/ Hot Tub & Deck!

The living is easy at this beautifully designed, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom vacation rental cottage in Great Pond. Nap in the hammock by the shore, grill on the expansive furnished deck, dine on the screened-in porch, lounge by the gas fireplace, and soak in the hot tub — all while the little ones have a blast playing in the treehouse-like loft. Make memories of fishing on the spring-fed lake, stocked with trout, and roasting hot dogs or marshmallows around the fire pit!

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.

Such a lovely property!

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.

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.

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!

Was the perfect place to get the R&R that we were looking for. Our 3 year old grandson had a grand time at the pond. He caught his first fish a great time. Thank you....Debbie

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 👌

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 Stay

My partner and I had an amazing time at this home. The location was a big draw for us and did not disappoint. The home, including the incredible outdoor space, was so calm and peaceful. The lake was beautiful, and we (and our dog!) enjoyed swimming and paddle boating on it. The hot tub was a great way to wind down, as was the indoor jacuzzi. The host, Gene, was very responsive and really ensured that the home had all that you need (just get groceries beforehand!). Loved our stay!

Best Family Vacation Yet!

I was worried that the listing would not live up to the very high anticipation we had as we waited 9 months for our vacation time to come…it not only lived up to our expectations but far exceeded them. We were so pleased with every aspect from morning coffee at the deck table to walks along the camp road to swimming/fishing to the campfires at night. The kitchen was amazing for family dinners.

The home was comfortable and inviting and we instantly felt at home the minute we arrived. It had everything we needed and then some. The kids and dogs enjoyed time on the pristine pond, swimming, fishing, and boating. And all enjoyed the firepit, and time as a family having dinners on the deck, lunches on the picnic table and hubby and I enjoyed cocktails on the deck.by the pond while the kids played in the water.

Great time on Great Pond

My wife and I cherish our week away on a secluded, quiet Maine lake each year. It's been an annual event for us for many years and we've had great experiences with rentals and some not-so-great experiences. This place falls into the great for us. The house was clean and well kept, the property beautifully landscaped, complimenting the natural surroundings. The lake was generally very quiet and peaceful. The screened room off of the main house overlooking the lake was just the perfect hang out location for us. The ONLY thing that could use improvement would be the waterfront/dock area. The water at the end of the dock was very shallow with a good number of very large rocks of all shapes and configurations. It would NOT be safe to jump into the water from this dock. The front part of the dock provided a small step down and another entry into the water but that area was even more shallow and contained similar rocks to navigate. So to enjoy swimming you had to ease off of the end of the doc and navigate carefully through these big rocks before you got past them and could really swim. That being said, we did figure this all out and enjoyed the water and swimming throughout our week. It would be great if the dock could be extended out further so the end of it got past all of the big rocks. Anyway we loved our week and will definitely try to book again for next summer!
