Such a beautifully appointed house! We came with our three grown children and loved everything about this property, but having family breakfast and dinner at the dining room table overlooking the lake was the highlight of our stay here. We kayaked and canoed, we grilled, and we cooked every day—the house has everything you need. We have stayed in many a great rental property and have had really good hosts over the years, but Jody was the best of all—so responsive and kind, went out of her way to make us feel welcomed and taken care of. We look forward to coming back to this gorgeous area of Maine soon!

Spent two wonderful weeks here. It's the perfect Maine summer vacation. Was able to do some remote work. Spent tons of time in and on the lake. The house is just the right size for our family of 4. Well equipped and clean.

Paradise on East Pond

This is our third stay at Jody's cottage on East Pond and we were once again so happy. The place is well stocked with everything we could possibly need (except of course the sheets and towels you are asked to bring) and the place is spotless. We truly recommend this place and wonderful host who is so responsive to her guests' needs. Thank you Jody for our stay in one of our favorite vacation spots.

Great for families

Wonderful property on a serene lake. Jody was a wonderful host and we are so grateful for the memories made on East Pond. There was more than enough space for our family of five and there were plenty of games and a well rounded selection of movies to entertain during downtime / rainy days. Morning fishing off the dock was a great way to start each day!

great summer lake week

Cottage was perfect for our annual week on the lake. Small but functional kitchen fed lots of family and friends. The cottage is small enough to encourage everyone to spend lots of time outside, but roomy enough for hanging out on our one rainy day. New dock steps were a hit!

Lovely cottage

My family and I had such a wonderful and relaxing vacation. The cottage was exactly what we wanted. We loved fishing from the dock, kayaking and swimming. We enjoyed watching the fireworks from the dock. Jody was a wonderful host and was available to answer all questions as well as making some great recommendations of things to do in the area. We are looking forward to next years visit! Thanks so much Jody, we just loved your cottage!

Relaxing vacation

This is our second year staying in the cottage. We had a wonderful trip enjoying the kayaks and the canoe that were included in our stay. We also enjoyed the local hiking trails, swimming, and sitting on the dock enjoying the gorgeous view. My husband caught quite a few bass fishing from the dock. Jody was very helpful with suggestions on local places to visit and very quick to respond to texts and email. I can’t say enough about this cottage. We hope to return again next year!

Once again, Jody and the cleaning crew have gone above and beyond in supplying us not only with a clean house but also all the amentities we could need. We are grateful for her sharing her home with us so we can continue enjoying East Pond - this being our 20th year in a row (excluding Covid shutdown in 2020) and 30 years at our favorite lake.

Well cared for property with everything you need

Delightful and well cared for property with everything we needed for a week away from it all. Loved waking up with the rising sun, swimming off the dock, and taking my breakfast outside. For being a settled area, the water was mostly clear with very little boat traffic - very relaxing and great for taking the kayak or canoe out. Lots of aquatic wildlife to watch. The host was great and offered constant support and even activity ideas when it was raining. Highly recommended.

Amazing Waterfront Experience

We had an amazing stay at the property. It was stocked well with all of the essentials that make a rental house easy to enjoy. (Spices, oil, sugar, ziploc bags, extra toothbrushes, wireless speaker, etc.) We brought our 19’ bass boat and caught a few dozen smallmouth and largemouth bass around the pond. Swimming was easy and fun, with brownie points for the steps with handrail that led down into the water. We saw so many loon families and enjoyed their calls. Thank you for a great visit!

East Pond Maine

Wonderful experience staying on East Pond. The house was in a fantastic location directly on the lake, was clean, well maintained and was well equipped with the small items to make the stay easy (ziplock bags, trash bags, paper towels, napkins, spices, etc.). The location was quiet, peaceful and There were kayaks and a canoe available to use. The property owner, Jody, was super attentive, communicative and responsive. The washing machine was broken but Jody paid for in town full service laundry! Was an incredible experience all around. Highly recommended.

Lovely property with a very available and communicative host. I went to summer camp in Belgrade Lakes as a kid, and this brought back a lot of memories. Really iconic Maine cabin-on-a-lake experience. East Pond is perfect size, with the sun just exploding into the porch every morning (unless you draw the blinds!) and the loons calling every night. Pristine waters for swimming, fishing, kayaking and canoeing, or just rocking on the porch in grandpa mode, watching the lake change moods throughout the day. Easy enough to get provisions as needed, but isolated enough to feel totally relaxed and unbothered. Highly recommended.

Perfect October Getaway on East Pond

What a spectacular extended weekend on East Pond in early October to celebrate my 50th bday with my family. It was perfect from start to finish. Jody was an amazing host in giving us info about the lake/area and also left a bday gift for when we arrived...so thoughtful. We had spectacular fall weather with warm days and cool evenings. We loved having the gas fire stove to warm us up during those evenings. We spent the days out on the water in their kayaks/canoes paddling, fishing and exploring and seeing so much wildlife. It was so quiet and peaceful being there that time of year and we could hear the loons calling day and night. The house is very comfortably equipped but still has the old camp charm, which our family loves. We cooked all our meals at the house, and even though the kitchen is small, it had everything we needed to cook full meals along with the outside grill too. My favorite was sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee in the quiet beauty. We can't wait to go back again as a family in the fall next year!!! Thanks Jody!
