Modern Hermon Pond Retreat: 25ft to Shore, 15m to Bangor, Ice Fishing!
Your Modern Lakeside Escape & Adventure Hub Experience the best of Maine lake life in a home designed for comfort, convenience, and high-end living. Situated on a quiet dead-end road and sitting just 25 feet from the shoreline of Hermon Pond, our retreat offers unparalleled access to world-class fishing, snowmobiling, and the peaceful serenity of the Maine woods.
The Space: Modern, Clean, and Built for Maine Inside, you’ll find a completely renovated interior with a clean, modern aesthetic. We’ve designed this space to handle the "real world" of Maine living:
LifeProof Flooring Throughout: Brand-new, waterproof flooring—ideal for those coming in from a day on the ice or the trails.
Endless Hot Water: Our high-end Rinnai tankless water heater ensures back-to-back hot showers for everyone in your group.
Climate Mastery: Fully automated central AC and high-efficiency heating to keep you toasty even in the peak of winter.
A Fisherman’s Paradise: Watch Your Flags from the Couch!
The "Warm" Way to Ice Fish: Set your traps just feet from the shore and watch for flags popping right from the comfort of your living room. Stay warm inside and only head out when the action starts!
Diverse Species: The pond is home to trophy Bass, Pickerel, Crappie, and Perch, with Brook Trout also found in the system.
Direct Access: Step off your back deck and onto the ice in seconds.
The Ultimate Winter Adventure
Snowmobiling: Ride directly onto the frozen pond from our shore. We are located just 0.5 miles from the Penobscot Snowmobile Club, giving you quick access to the local network and the massive ITS 84 system. Our driveway offers ample parking for trucks and trailers.
Skiing & Tubing: Just 10 minutes to New Hermon Mountain for night skiing, snowboarding, or the tubing park.
