Studio Apartment overlooking Molasses Pond

Looking for a quiet place to get away but yet explore Downeast Maine? This spacious, sunny studio apartment is located on Molasses Pond. It features an amazing view from the upstairs apartment. There is access to a sandy beach with kayaks, beach chairs and fire pit located across the road. (This is our private property.)

Experience the beauty of Maine with the fresh water access on the large pond and the the call of the salty ocean water not too far away. We are located in Eastbrook about 50 minutes from Acadia National Park. About 30 minutes from the Schoodic National Scenic Byway and the Tidal Falls Preserve.

The large kitchen is fully equipped for making meals to enjoy inside or outside on the deck overlooking the water. A gas grill is provided on the deck.

The open concept feels roomy and relaxing in this tastefully decorated studio with a futon and comfy rocker recliner. Starlink Satellite internet is provided for wifi. The studio offers a large TV with DISH TV and a DVD player. Enjoy the beauty around you as you are surrounded by nature. Games, books, DVD movies and puzzles are provided as another way to relax in this peaceful environment.

Want a taste of the Maine woods? Take a short drive to the windmills. (These windmills can be seen from the pond but not heard!) Easily explore the Maine woods on these well maintained dirt roads which are suitable for a vehicle. Keep your eyes open for birds, eagles and other wildlife like turtles, rabbits and foxes. You might even see a bear or a moose! For the best experience, bring your bike, Side by Side (UTV) or ATV. The Downeast Sunrise Trail is accessible from our location. Gorgeous in the fall and great for snowmobiles in the winter. We have room to park a trailer so you can bring your ATV or snowmobile. The pond is also good for ice fishing in the winter.

The apartment is accessed by outside stairs from the paved driveway.

A heat pump provides heating and cooling. A washer, dryer and dishwasher are in the apartment.
The apartment is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with a separate bedroom. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a sofa bed, and a coffee maker. Limited housekeeping is available.

Awesome getaway
This was a wonderful cottage across from the lake. It’s about an hour from Bar Harbor but the drive is a nice one and worth it when you get back to this location! If ever in Maine again we will try to stay here. Lots of amenities we didn’t even have the chance to enjoy- bon fires and kayaks that the owner has available. 5 * for sure!

Beautiful, Quiet and Relaxing
My husband and I stayed 4 nights at Molasses Pond. We are from the midwest and wanted to see and experience Maine. We found the VRBO very clean, decorated beautifully, quiet and relaxing. Communication with owner, Naomi, went very smoothly. We went to Bar Harbor and Acadia Nat'l Park. Both were about a 45 minute drive away. The VRBO property was just as advertised if not even better than advertised. All of our needs were met.

Great spot!
We really enjoyed our stay - we all wish we could have stayed longer! The apartment is beautiful and spacious - the owners have done a great job and it is very well thought out. We enjoyed kayaking, paddle boating and the fire pit. If you like lobster rolls, don't miss out on Dorr's which is a 30 minute drive away. Delicious!

Our weekend stay at the Overlook property was brief, but truly very memorable! The studio interior is neat, clean, and well designed to accommodate four guests (I travelled with 3 other friends). The lake view is amazing from our balcony, and access to the kayaks and fire pit are wonderful to come back to after spending the day at Acadia Nat’l Park. Plan to get your groceries ahead of time as the location is pretty isolated. Naomi, our host, accommodated our needs and will answer your questions timely. She is a wonderful host! Thank you Naomi!

Perfect escape!!
We just loved it here! It felt like home away from home! They had everything we needed and were so comfortable! We loved that it was just out of the way enough that we were away from all of the tourist traffic and could enjoy all the beauty that Maine had to offer, the wild life, the beach, etc. but still close enough to have a short drive to experience all of that too. It was perfect!! Naomi was an incredible host and the beach, kayaks and everything else they offer as extras with the rental is amazing!! I wish we stayed longer, that is for sure!
