A perfect porch in Maine

This cottage is on a quiet back road with beautiful views and nearby hiking. The kitchen was well stocked with everything you might need. We loved our time in Round Pond.

A Magical Maine Stay!

Vintage cottage, vintage Maine Coast, vintage vacation! Marking our 30th year visiting Mid Coast Maine, our family renewed and expanded on traditions that have become our "Way Life Should Be!" We loved watching the Terns from the adirondack chairs, marveled at the Bald Eagle(s) in the spruce directly across from the cottage, and enjoyed one family meal after another on the terrific porch! Warm temps were eased by window fans; the screened room made for a perfect part-time office; easy access to Pemaquid Beach, Peamaquid Light, the Bristol Swimming Hole, and Damarariscotta allowed for plenty of stay-at-home time to relax and enjoy. The listing is spot-on; bedrooms, kitchen, laundry, bathrooms, gas grill... it's all there, clean, in good order, and comfortable! The walk to Round Pond "center" is pleasant and 95% of the light traffic is walkers: friendly neighbors and their dogs. Don't miss the many properties of the Coastal Rivers Conservation Trust; Explore, hike, walk... all kinds of great options, and one's just up the road apiece! (Top Secret: the mosquitoes were nearly non-existent, except right at and after dusk.) Thank you, thank you!

Perfect family getaway

We loved everything about the house and felt it was set up perfectly for our family vacation. The setting is amazing and it's close to all amenities in town. Ideal rental all around. There is a wonderful porch with views where we spent a great deal of time. We would return in a heartbeat.

Amazing stay!

The house had plenty of space, very clean and well stocked kitchen. Linens and towels provided, which made packing for the trip much easier. Linda kept in touch on our arrival and departure days. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. The house is right across the road from the water (with water access). We went down to our spot by the water every day to look for shells and rocks, watch crabs and snails crawling about, and wade in the water. We were able to keep our kayaks down by the water and took a couple of trips on the bay, including a 3 hour trip where we spotted seals nearby and enjoyed some time at a small beach on Hogs Island. The neighbors were friendly, the area is very quiet and the weather cooperated. It couldn't have been a better trip.

About the host

Your host

I grew up summering in Round Pond, Maine, and we live next door to the cottage during the summer. We have owned and rented the cottage since 1995. We have had the same couple rent the entire summer (Memorial Day to Labor Day) from us for over 10 years, but sadly they couldn't return starting in 2023, so it is now available again for others to discover.
