About this property

The Wicked Cute Camp – on Norton Pond Near Camden & the Coast of Maine

Come to the mid-coast of Maine and step away from your everyday routine. Put your ‘indoor’ life aside while you relax and breathe-in the beauty and tranquility of Maine, out of doors.

This classic, ‘Wicked Cute,’ Maine camp is the perfect get-away to refresh your spirit. Simple and cozy, it provides just what you need – a worry free departure from the hustle and bustle.

But there is more to this camp than just the cabin. This vacation also has you living on a lake with your own private dock! Step outside and take in what Norton Pond has to offer – swimming, boating, canoeing, fishing, tanning, napping, relaxing. The adventures are yours for the making.

And your water adventures are not limited to Norton Pond. A waterway connects Norton Pond to the majestic Lake Megunticook, another premier Maine natural resource.

Should you decide to venture from the camp, you will find you are only minutes away from unique Maine attractions including the fabulous Maine coast and its many harbor towns. Camden, one of the most popular Maine coastal villages is only 10 minutes away. Besides the parks, views, dining, and shopping Camden offers, the city also grants you easy access to supplies such as groceries, fuel, etc.

There are also two convenience stores nearby for essentials. Drakes Corner Store happens to carry what the locals consider the best pizza around! (And your hosts consider their breakfast sandwiches and hamburgers the best anywhere!). And The Lincolnville General Store offers another level of food and drink, including a hot lunch bar and baked goods.

Whether you are on your own, with your significant other, some friends, or with a couple kids in tow, this ‘wicked cute’ camp will be good for anything that might be ailing you. Come experience it!

Additional Information:

Sleeping Arrangements? There is one bedroom with a Queen-size bed on the first floor. Two twin beds are upstairs in the loft.

Bathroom? There is one bathroom with a sink, toilet, and hot water shower.

Bringing A Boat? There is a public boat launch on Norton Pond and your boat can be moored at your private dock. (Water skiing, tubing etc are allowed. However no single passenger powered vehicles are allowed such as Jet Skis). There is room to stow your boat trailer at the camp. (Please always check your boat carefully when moving it for any traces of plant life. Invasive plants are a danger to Maine's many wonderful bodies of water. Norton Pond's beauty depends on your diligence in this regard).

Bringing Bikes? The roads around Norton Pond are a combination of paved and gravel with very little traffic so the kids have some great options. The roads further out are standard, two-lane country roads – better reserved for the biking enthusiast.

Exercise? Relaxing is a great form of exercise for those of us needing to get away. But if you also want to get physical while you are at the camp swimming is an obvious choice. Running/Jogging/Walking is also an option. Roads around the Pond are low traffic and scenic – very much outdoors! And country roads further out will give you all the long distances you could want.

Pets? Pets are welcome (see our policy in the rental agreement). We do expect you to clean up after them though. This includes picking up anything they leave behind – whether on our property or on that of your neighbors on the Pond.

Things To Do? (Get ready - It's a long list!)
Enjoy birding, swimming, mountain climbing, hiking, beach walks, clamming, sight seeing, nature walks, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, biking, windjammer cruises and day sailing on schooners, golf, whale watch cruises, museums, shops, restaurants, galleries, wineries, concerts, art shows, auctions, island hopping, farmers markets. . . And this is only what we have come up with so far. . . .

Also:
Acadia National Park (1 1/4 hrs north)
L.L. Bean & Outlet shopping (1 1/2 hrs south)
Lobster Festival, Blues Festival, Windjammer Weekend,
Boat Shows
Sandy Lincolnville Beach, Lobster Pound and ferry to Islesboro (5 miles east to the coast)

PS - Do you like our photos? The best ones are by Rob Dubois.

PPS - We continue to tweak furniture and amenities at The Wicked Cute Camp based on feedback to make your experience better. Because of this you may notice changes from the pictures. Please contact us if you have specific questions about anything.

PPPS - When you arrive you may notice that The Wicked Cute Camp has two web cams (cameras) mounted on the outside of the cabin. These are the only web cams we installed. One is pointed toward the driveway. The other is pointed out toward the pond. We primarily use them during the off season so we know if anyone has pulled into the driveway and to give us a glimpse of Maine when we are not there. We make it a point to not respond to any notifications we receive when guests are at the camp. The only exception to that might be to verify arrival and departures (of guests and cleaning crews) on Saturdays. If you have any questions about our web cams feel free to reach out to us. Your privacy and ability to relax while at The Wicked Cute Camp is very important to us.

Dream cabin!

My husband and I had a wonderful week relaxing in this cozy little cabin on the lake! Beautifully decorated, super cozy, and close to the village of Camden and Lincolnville - we really took the time to just enjoy the dock, nature, and time to ourselves. We also brought our dog, and she had a great time! Most restaurants and shops in the area were dog friendly.

Wicked good time

Our stay at the Wicked Cute Camp was amazing. The cabin suited our needs perfectly and the location and views were amazing. Close enough to the beach ateas if you like but sitting on the dock and just relaxing was perfect too. All around good time and location.

Perfect Camp

Our 2nd. time at the Wicked Cute Camp and it was just as perfect as the first time. It just doesn't get any better than this. The views are beautiful. We love the dock, and the fishing is great! The location is perfect, and the cabin is absolutely the cleanest we've ever stayed in with every supply you could need. The owners and the neighbors are such pleasant people. We hope to stay at this camp again.

Great Place!

Very nicely set up, all the little things you need and hope are there you have. Very cute place. No issues at all, really enjoyed the place - views of the lake from the living room are awesome. Quiet as well, very short ride to Camden for restaurants. Really enjoyed it and we will be back!

The Perfect Getaway

From the time we arrived at the camp, we were able to relax completely. They have thought of everything inside this wonderfully charming camp. The extra touches were wonderful. We kayaked, swam, and read our books from cover to cover. Even our dogs were the best behaved they've ever been. Sipping coffee watching the lake and the loons, taking day trips to local spots and just relaxing, it was comfortable and well-equipped. There was nothing we needed- except another week! This was the best vacation we've taken yet and look forward to another visit next year. Thank you John!

We loved the Wicked Cute Camp!

The Wicked Cute Camp had everything we were looking for our week-long vacation. It is a lake front property with its own dock on the water. We wanted to be able to fish in the evening after dinner, and we did every day. There was only one day we did not catch any fish. It is also within an easy drive to Camden and other grocery stores and restaurants. The camp itself is clean and well managed. The owners thought of every detail to make our stay comfortable. A three-ring binder has all your questions answered. We hope to return next year.

Small cabin, Large & wonderful vacation

The Wicked Cute Cabin may be small ( and cute! ), but it is huge in relaxation and for enjoying Maine. Nearby in Camden there are so many things to do like hike or drive to the top of Mt. Battie, get to Uncle Willie's Candy Shoppe, and many other sights to see in this park and walk town. A little further afield is the Penobscot Bay Bridge which has an elevator to the top enclosed viewing areas and Ft. Knox ( the other Fort Knox ) where you can wander around to your heart's content. All-in-all, a delightfully relaxing week at a well-equipped and comfortable rustic cabin with modern amenities. Would recommend this property for young families or for older folks since it’s just steps from parking to cabin and access is via steps with sturdy railings. Overall, it was clean and welcoming and very comfortable. We very much enjoyed our stay.

Fabulous, comfortable lakeside getaway near Camden!

We have been booking vacations through VRBO for more than 20 years and this rental property is one of the best! Though the cabin is small, it is very thoughtfully designed and had everything that we needed and more! There was even a small sitting area perfect for our dog crate and our dog's belongings! We especially enjoyed listening to the loons, kayaking and walking the private road every day. It is pretty cool that the Wicked Cute Cabin is in such a peaceful location yet only about 6 miles to Camden. The communication with John, the owner, was excellent, as he got back to me promptly throughout the booking process and while we were staying at the camp. Manythanks to both John and Susie...

Spectacular views and beyond comfortable

I could feel the stress melting away from our first day here. We were spellbound by the views of water and sound of loons in the evening. John and Susie took the guess work out of the details we sometimes struggle to figure out in a new place by providing instructions for light switches, how to check out, wifi info, where extra linens are, etc. This is truly something you don't know you much you'll appreciate until you have it. We felt very cared for and at home and therefore, were able to start relaxing immediately. I can't do the setting of the camp justice in words - it just took our breath away. We got engaged on the dock. Thank you, John and Susie! A Maine trip we'll never forget. Hope to be back!

Best vacation ever!

The wicked cute camp exceeded all expectations. It’s always a bit of a gamble booking a place you haven’t seen for a whole week, but our only regret is we didn’t book for longer! It was so hard to leave. If it sounds like it is your kind of vacation, I strongly recommend this camp. Norton pond is bigger than the ‘lake’ we have here, and the lake it connects to is enormous. They don’t have kayaks for you, but their recommendation for where to rent was perfect – they even deliver. The small touches really put everything over the top. We had brought our own Yahtzee game and they even had that already there! It’s so thoughtfully put together you can’t help but want to take care of it. Don’t forget to water the flowers – there’s a super cute poem about that above the sink. The stars are amazing, the neighbors couldn’t be nicer, their recommendations for where to go are all spot on. Everything was so easy to find and seriously wicked cute! Don’t forget to sign the guestbook! The caterpillars will be gone soon, so beware of those. They even provided sheets specifically for our dog 😊. It might be a little tight if you have a large dog but was perfect for us. The yard is smaller than we thought, but The cell phone service is pretty bad, but if you go out by the picnic table/fire pit area you can usually get a text message to go through. Well built, beautiful, peaceful.

Amazing Camp

We absolutely loved our week in this amazing camp. The location is perfect, and this camp is the cleanest vacation rental we have ever stayed in with every supply provided you could need. The view from the camp and the dock is so peaceful and beautiful. We sat on the dock every evening and listened to the loon's call. The fishing from the dock was the best we caught so many HUGE fish! We hope to be blessed with another week here next year.

Loved the Wicked Cute Camp!

We enjoyed our stay at the Wicked Cute Camp. We love the modern conveniences, yet it still maintains a very old time camp feel. The location is awesome! So close to Camden and the mid coast. Bringing our 17.5 foot boat through the channel to the big lake was a bit of a challenge, but we did it several times. We loved sitting outside by the fire at night, and loved the big picnic table and outdoor lights for our lobster dinner!

Camp is cute, cozy & comfortable

We couldn’t have enjoyed are stay more. The lake is quiet and relaxing. The cottage is well equipped. Having A/C when it was over 90 was such a bonus! The view of the lake from inside is beautiful. The close location to Camden, Rockport and Rockland can’t be beat. We would be happy to stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by John Zacharias

Host profile image
Your hosts are John & Susie Zacharias. (The picture shows us outside The Wicked Cute Camp - before our 2018 Renovation).

We currently live outside of Maine - in beautiful western Michigan. But we have fallen in love with the mid-coast of Maine and we are excited to share it with you via The Wicked Cute Camp.

Why they chose this property

While our childhoods were spent in Michigan - near Lake Huron and the St. Clair River - our more recent experiences together have been here in Maine. Maine's climate is similar to that of our hometowns so in many ways the mid-coast reminds us of 'home.'

As adults we have shared vacations here in Maine, reunions, and most recently a family wedding. With each visit Maine becomes more endearing. So endearing, in fact, that in 2010 when we had the opportunity to own a camp on Norton Pond we jumped at it.

This patch of land here in the 'mid-coast' of Maine lets you feel like you are getting away while still having so many things to do. Whether you want to be alone, be part of a crowd, or a little bit of both - you will reconnect with yourself, and each other, here at The Wicked Cute Camp.

What makes this property unique

Many of us at Norton Pond have our routines.

It may be waking up early and taking a fresh cup of coffee out to the dock to watch the day begin.

It may be putting on some cross trainers and taking a brisk walk to get the blood flowing.

You may see one of our neighbors take a daily swim - a routine she enjoys every day she is at Norton Pond, regardless of the temperature or time of year!

There are so many wonderful choices. . . What will your Norton Pond routine be? Whatever it is, be prepared to have it relax, refresh, and re-energize you!
