Acadia vacation home

Lovely little camp. Perfect size for four adults, with plenty of room and privacy inside and out. The place was very clean and well appointed (could use bbq bricks for grill, though). View of the pond and all the pines was great, even saw an eagle. Made use of the kayaks a few times, and enjoyed the deck and grill. Nice and quiet area with an easy commute to all the island has to offer. Thank you for the opportunity to rent your home, we would absolutely rent it again.

Perfect Maine Getaway

Our family absolutely loved staying at this cabin. It was extremely clean and had all the essentials necessary for an "at home" experience. The view from the porch is priceless, and the kayaks made for peaceful paddling on the pond. We especially enjoyed being away from the crowded roads in the larger towns, and access to Acadia National Park was easy to navigate from this home. The home is larger than the pictures portray and sleeping accommodations were more than ample for a family of 4 adults. The cabin has a coffee maker even though it was not mentioned in the amenities. We would definitely stay here again.

Peaceful cabin close to Acadia

We were looking for a place away from the crowds that still allowed us to easily visit Acadia National Park. This was the perfect place. We had one free afternoon where we were able to take the kayaks out on the water. My only regret is that we didn't have one more free day to enjoy our time here a little bit more!

So cozy!

Loved our stay. The cabin had everything we could ever need and my boys loved rowing the skiff and kayaks across the lake. The beds are comfy and the place feels “lived in” like a home. There are board games and the patio and dock were so relaxing! A great find! Acadia was so close and this place was so quiet - the best of both worlds!

We enjoyed our stay

The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. The kitchen had lots of utensils and it was reasonably close to Arcadia National Park which we visited almost every day we were there. We brought our own life jackets for the kayak, but they were already in the storage box by the pond which was nice. We will be recommending this property to our friends.. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Excellent cabin/house in the woods

We had a lovely stay at this property. It was secluded, quiet and very comfortable! We had all the kitchen equipment we needed as well as towels, blankets, books- everything was provided! The lake was beautiful and the dock was easy to access. The water was clear and cold 😀. The deck was the perfect place to read a book. We loved it!

Pine Bluff

We loved the setting of this home, with a view of the pond and mountains. The house was comfortable and clean, and the use of the kayaks was a nice bonus. When visiting Acadia, we usually stay on the quiet side of the island, and this house is a bit farther out of the way than other properties we have rented, but we didn't mind the few extra minutes of driving at all because the view was worth it!

Tranquil and lovely

For some reason the photos online did not do this cottage justice. It was so lovely. The set up was perfect. Loved the location. We took the canoe out on the pond which was so nice. The cottage was well stocked. Would absolutely come back. Perfect for exploring Acadia but getting away from the crowds of Bar Harbor. Google maps doesn’t quite get you there so be on the lookout for the Hogdon Pond sign and follow it to the first right.

What more could you ask for

My husband and I loved staying at this property. The cabin was very nicely done. I read in prior reviews that it was well stocked. They were not kidding. The kitchen had everything you needed to cook a meal. There were tons of blankets, sheets, and towels in closets. Detergent and dryer sheets for laundry. There was a nice local IGA market that was handy. It was close to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. The view from the back deck was beautiful. We didn’t get to use the boats and kayaks provided because we were out exploring and hiking till dark and came back to eat and crash. We would highly recommend this cabin.

Relaxation!

Beautiful, welcoming home on a tranquil pond. If you are looking for a peaceful place to stay while enjoying Acadia, this is your place! The house has a beautiful deck overlooking the pond. There is a shared access to the water with the neighboring house but we never had an issue with trying to access the water at the same time. There is a lot of privacy between the two homes and noise was never an issue. The house was very comfortable for a family of four. Cozy beds, lots of extra linens/towels. This house is located on the quiet side and is a bit off the beaten path but it is a wonderful location if you want to be a bit removed from the summer crowds. We really enjoyed our week stay on Hodgdon Pond.
