About this property

Home on McCurdy Pond

The 2-story single-family home sits on 6.5 pristine acres of tree-studded land, with a meandering path and blueberry patches in the Spring leading to crystal clear, private 225-acre McCurdy Pond lake near the ocean. Strategically located within a quiet, natural setting that ensures privacy, the home is spacious and light-filled and well-appointed for easy living. An outdoor deck with picnic table, bbq, and seating. Beautiful surrounding lawn with firepit add to the enjoyment of the setting. The common areas include a spacious Living Room w/TV, Dining Room, and Breakfast area just outside the kitchen. An inviting master bedroom and bath are conveniently located on the first floor, along with the home's ½ bath, den and working fireplace. Upstairs are an additional three bedrooms and bath, all spacious, comfortable and accommodating for multiple guests. Numerous vantage points in the home draw views of the picturesque lake, which is ideal for swimming, canoeing, and fishing. You can pull the canoe up on the property or at the nearby McCurdy Pond Association dock/boat landing. For added convenience, the house has a full basement and a two-car garage. Great location to points of interest.

Testimonial:: We just got back last Saturday from Maine. We’re still trying to adjust to life in South Florida again, but we keep dreaming of Maine and all its wonders. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and had a terrific time at the lake. We swam, fished, canoed, and picked wild blueberries and raspberries down at the edge of the water. In the evenings we would sit by the fire, roast marshmallows and then step outside to watch the night sky filled with thousands of stars. Though we’ve stayed in other houses in Maine, your house is in a wonderful location and so comfortable. Our favorite activity is to pack a lunch and to go sit on the rock ledge by the lake where we picnic, swim, canoe, and fish. Afterwards we finish our day with a scoop of ice cream at Round Pond. We also explored the different peninsulas, ate lobster rolls (repeatedly), and enjoyed every second of the cool weather. Damariscotta is a lovely little town as are so many in the surrounding area.

Another great week
This was the 4th time that we have stayed at this property and our family and dogs had a blast. It is secluded but not far from anything. Dom is an excellent host and addressed any issues we had swiftly and directly. If you love the outdoors and paddling a quiet pond, this place can't be beat!ananswiftlhdIpquipond

Hiking getaway
We booked this location very last minute as our holiday plans were derailed with cancellations elsewhere. We arrived pretty late and had a slight issue upon arrival in which the property owner quickly rectified within 24 hours. Location is ideal for hiking in Acadia, which we did 2 days of, enjoying driving from lighthouse to lighthouse and all the lobster in the area. We immensely enjoyed the canoe that was accessible with the property. Overall house was well maintained and stocked. The only recommendation I would provide is to have non slip shower strips installed. Would stay again.

Third time at this great property
We have stayed in this home 3 times over the past 12 years and it doesn't disappoint. The woodsy setting is unique to a "lakefront" home and the large grass yard is great. McCurdy Pond is beautiful and quiet, especially this time of the year. The home had everything that we needed, but could use a little maintenance and upkeep. The kitchen utensils were a bit lacking and there could be more seating in the main living room based on the number of guests that can be accommodated. Several of the lightbulbs in the home need/needed replaced and during heavy rain on Saturday evening, there was a minor leak from one of the skylight windows in the upstairs queen bedroom, which made its way (possibly) to the closet in the first floor master. Again, the home was clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would certainly stay here again and recommend to others.

Mccurdy Pond is a gem
We were so happy to be back at McCurdy Pond after several years away. It’s so peaceful, with great swimming, paddling and just reading lakeside! And near to the ocean too. The house is great. I even got to enjoy the walk down to the water—a well maintained mossy path. My only complaint was with VRBO, which blocked my access to the owner’s check-in instructions and wifi password, causing me to have to call on arrival ( which was immediately answered).

Wonderful retreat
Our family had a lovely time at this property. The lake was great with a few little islands and rocks that were fun to paddle board around. There was a window unit air conditioner I’m not sure if it was listed, but it was definitely appreciated. And I t’s true the walk to the lake is a little long and winding, but it’s also beautiful! We would visit again.

Another great visit to McCurdy Pond
This was our third summer stay at this house. It comfortably accommodated four adults, two children, one dog, and one parrot, with room for more. The lake is the standout feature, easily accessed via a short walk through the woods. Looking forward to returning! Thanks Dominick!

Wonderful property
This property was very clean upon our arrival and appears well-kept. Furniture is in good repair and comfortable as are the beds. There is no air conditioning upstairs but there are fans. The kitchen area is small but served our needs well and it is well-equipped. With all the torrential rains this summer the path to the lake was a bit mushy in places but all of us thought the path was beautiful and enjoyed the short walk to the lake. The swimming at the lake was even better than we expected. There is a lovely large rock to sit on but there is also a very nice gradual, sandy entrance to the lake. There are some reeds, if you are squeamish about such things, but we loved the swimming and stayed in the water for hours. It's a beautiful, quiet lake/pond and the fishing was good. A great vacation!

Great spot!
Wonderfully private property and lovely trail (3 min) down to the lake where we canoed, fished and swam. The rock has a natural seat and there is a bench there but an additional one or some chairs would have been perfect. The loon calls were so peaceful, think it was my favorite part of our trip. The house was comfortable and spacious for our family of five and two dogs. The back steps off the deck might be a bit steep for senior guests. Really loved the fire pit and picked up some local firewood for $2 a bucket down the road. Would love to stay here again.

Wonderful time…
Overall it was a great experience for 5 teen boys and 4 adults. Beds were very comfortable which makes a difference. The walk to the lake no ideal but we enjoyed the rock and swimming. It was great to be back in the area after 2 years off. Not far from all the great local attractions. Kitchen could use an update of cooking supplies but overall a great time. Thank you for sharing your Maine cabin.

We all loved our stay on McCurdy pond. The house was just fine for our family who gathered to celebrate a birthday. Our favorite part was the rock, water, canoe and we brought kyacks too. The location of the house is perfect too. Spending July 4th there and giving thanks for our freedom was so memorable. Many, many thanks.

Such a beautiful house with interesting art, a stunning view over the lake and the best fishing and canoeing spot. We would love to return to the same place again! A few more mosquito screens would be amazing : to be able to keep windows open and listen to the earie calls of the Loon.

Very Nice!
The house is lovely and the pond is awesome! The house is nicer than the pictures show. The rock by the pond was a perfect place to relax! Everything is very clean. Absolutely no complaints there! I might suggest the owner checking in with the local property manager to be sure things are a little better stocked such as hand soap, tp, wood for the fire, etc. Would have been a 5 if all those things were handled. Otherwise it was great!

Wonderful week on McCurdy Pond
Our group of five adults and two teens had a great time swimming and paddling on the pond and hanging out at the house. The bedrooms were large and we were not crowded at all. The kitchen had everything we needed, including a bottle of wine when we arrived! Just a few miles to get to Damariscotta. Would definitely return!

Spacious home, beautiful location
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our week in Bremen with our two teenage sons. The home provided privacy, plenty of room for us to spread out, and a gorgeous lake on which to paddle, fish, swim, view loons, etc. All needed provisions were provided at the house (though we brought light beach chairs and a small collapsible table to hang out on the rock lakeside). The location also allowed us to explore the beautiful Bristol/Bremen/Pemiquid peninsula where we biked, hiked, ate amazing lobster rolls and dinners, got the ferry to Monhegan Island, etc. Thanks for the great week.

We had a wonderful stay!
The home was large enough to accommodate 6 kids and 3 adults. We spent a fair amount of time during the week at the house and enjoyed the all of the surroundings... Including the wild life! It is easy to truly disconnect and relax! With such a large group, we ran out of room in the trash cans. I would only recommend additional trash cans be added. I would recommend this property to anyone that is ready to enjoy all that Maine midcoast had to offer!
