There are four kayaks (one double), canoe and 5-person pedal boat available for you to navigate the 1.5 mile long pond and winding river connecting to the Little Androscoggin River and adjacent (similar size) Whitney Pond. For a minimal charge, launch your own boat from the nearby campground beachfront with no restrictions on engine horsepower and boat size. Excellent fishing (license required) of large & small mouth bass, pickerel and other lake-type varieties. We’ve caught many a 2+ pound fish that put up a good fight as you reel them in. The sandy beach (unless there’s been excessive rain), new dock (two 4' x 10' and one 6' x 10' sections) and float (8' x 8') offers swimming and water activities for all. Enjoy playing horseshoes and sitting by the outdoor campfire.

Several nice ones have opened within last year (Honey Badger in Oxford, X Vault Pub in S. Paris, Norway Brew Pub, Ox Pub in casino/hotel) There’s many other novelty, craft & antique stores if that perks your interest. Many family activities are available close-by …. Smedberg’s farm for freshly picked corn (late July) and homemade ice cream … Gray Wildlife Park … Cindi’s Dockside Restaurant in Poland … Oxford Speedway w/frequent day/night car racing, or within an hour’s drive if you want to venture further away from Oxford … Bridgton Twin Drive-In and quaint shopping center ... Portland oceanfront for fresh seafood and restaurants/pubs (we love Gritty’s Pub) … North Conway, NH shopping area. The Portland Museum of Art and the Portland Children's Museum are also great day trips as well as watching a Portland Sea Dogs baseball game. Also, try your chance at the nearby Oxford Casino at the top of RT 26 if you feel lucky! We’re close to several public golf courses: Fairlawn, Norway Country Club, Poland Springs, Spring Meadows, Pt. Sebago & Sunday River, that are reasonably priced and easy to secure tee-times. Feel free to ask us for any other recommendations.

This location is a perfect home for family gatherings, wonderful place for an adult retreat, vacation spot for those who enjoy different activities, or great central location for area activities.

tranquil, welcoming space to unwind
Lovely house and setting, had everything we needed for a week away. Tom was very welcoming and responsive. My teen had a great time in the game house and the lake and making s'mores at the firepit and the paddleboat. The rest of us had a great time on the water or on the deck watching the water. Campground next door had a concert and parade of golf carts Saturday evening but that was basically the only noise all week. Beds are very comfortable, space for everyone. Would definitely recommend for a quiet getaway.

Couldn't have been better
Between the beautiful home and property, and the incredible hospitality shown by Tom, we had an amazing stay. The house was fully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable visit. The separate game room was a big hit with the kids, as was the beautiful beach and kayaks. We would stay here again without hesitation.

Great week in Maine!
We had a great week, the house was well stocked with everything we’d need for a fun time inside and out. We particularly appreciated all the water toys — floats, canoe, different kayaks, and a great paddleboard — and used some to explore the rivers at the end of Hogan Pond. The fire pit was a wonderful surprise. Lovely sunsets!

Restful and relaxing
The camp was so comfortable and it had plenty of dishes, linens and paper products. Comfortable beds, too. We didn’t lack anything. Also, had several kayaks and one paddle board to keep the teenagers happy. The owner was very nice as well as accommodating. Even though there was a campground next door, it was very private and quiet.

Lovely vacation
The property was clean and beautiful! Plenty of space for our group of 8. Quiet area and plenty of water equipment (kayaks, paddle board, canoe). The dock made it easy to have our jet ski there and to fish all the time. Very friendly and helpful owner that responded quickly. We would definitely book this rental again!

This is an amazing place to stay
First, I have to say that Tom and his wife work really hard to make sure that you enjoy your stay. They provide everything you need. Linens, bath towels, beach towels, and they even have spices and sharp knives . Second, Tom has spent a lot of time and effort working on this home making it the best it can be. He clearly takes a lot of pride in this property and it shows. The lake is pretty awesome too. The water is crystal clear. The lake is not crowded by any means. This property is pretty secluded. They have a very large fire pit, and even provide fire wood. They have corn hole, billiards, a large collection of board games, even video games in the game room. They provide two refrigerators, crock pots, griddles, basically anything you could want to use in the kitchen. If you’re thinking about staying somewhere in Maine, we could not recommend this place enough. You will not be disappointed.

Plenty to enjoy!
We wanted to stay longer to enjoy all that's available right at the house, garage, and beach! My family loved swimming out to the dock, floating in tubes, playing in the shallow water, and using the canoe, kayaks, and paddle board. The outdoor shower was awesome! The garage game rooms were a big hit with the pool table, darts, and foosball. We also enjoyed sitting around the firepit at night. The house is nice with comfortable furniture, a well stocked kitchen, and lots of puzzles and board games. The unexpected treat was harvesting green beans and tomatoes in the garden for our dinners. Tom was friendly and responsive to our requests, even buying a coffee bean grinder before we arrived! A few things to note: both bathrooms are on the 1st floor (upstairs guests were careful on the stairs at night) the kitchen doesn't have a dishwasher (we all pitched in with the washing and drying), the tap water isn't potable (Tom provides drinking water), and the house had a mustiness in the high heat and humidity during our stay (Tom gave us fans for the bedrooms which helped). We thought this was worth mentioning but none of it would keep us from returning. We thoroughly enjoyed our time, loved all that there was to do, and appreciated Tom's availability and helpfulness.

Excellent Stay, Charming Home, Many Amenities
My family really, really enjoyed our stay at Tom's house. I've rented many lake houses in Maine, many twice as expensive as this one, and this house had leagues more amenities than any of them. There were enough kayaks (canoe, peddle boat, paddle boards) for all of us, a ton of floats that were already blown up, endless firewood for the fire pit (most places make you buy your own), horseshoes, sooo many board games, and most importantly: a two floor game room in the garage with pool, darts, bumper pool, a poker table, and places to lounge (and an extra fridge). This area allowed us to still have tons of fun on the rainy days and also to keep the noise contained at night while others were trying to sleep in the house. The kitchen has every pot, pan, and utensil you'd ever need, and there was tons of extra bedding. It was also so nice having a little kids area with some books and toys in the upstairs area between the two bedrooms. The kids spent tons of time up there and we were all happy they had a contained area so that we weren't tripping over their toys. The bedrooms were comfortable and clean, and the upstairs bedroom with 4 beds is actually way more spacious and cheerful than it looks in pictures and my normally picky family members all slept in the room really happily. Their only complaint was that there aren't enough places to put their clothing & other stuff. They would've liked some small dressers or shelves. The water in the pond is clear, there's a small sandy beach by the dock, the water is rather shallow so felt relatively safe for the young kids, and kayaking around the pond and rivers was really easy and lovely. There's plenty of parking, an amazing hammock to relax on, and relative privacy. There's a neighbor's house on one side (pretty far removed) and a campground on the other but you can barely hear any noise or see anyone through the trees, and when you're on the beach there's tons of privacy. This is in stark contrast to Sebago and Long Lake where everyone is on top of each other. We also loved the garden, the comfy couch, the clean & well maintained grill, and the fact that it's a 3 minute drive to Oxbow Brewery where the food and drinks are delicious and there's a sprawling outdoor area that is wonderful to hang out in. The outdoor shower is AMAZING! We're so grateful to Tom for sharing this wonderful respite from the city and we made tons of memories! Highly recommend this place to anyone!

Perfect lake house holiday
We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. Tom’s house was more spacious than it appears in photos and was FULLY stocked with everything we needed (cleaning supplies, firewood, tableware, linens, games, books, etc.). We spent every day outside swimming or paddling in the pond and exploring the area. A couple of us even took a short 20-30 min drive to mountain bike, though with the detached game room and tons of canoes/paddle board/kayaks, we certainly had plenty of things to entertain ourselves at the house. Tom was very responsive and gave us a great tour upon arrival. He even checked in mid way through via text to make sure all was well. I will absolutely come back with friends and family in the years to come. Looking forward to making more memories on Hogan Pond!

Annual family vacation the year of COVID
I did a lot of research to find a property that could accommodate our entire family which included a 3 and 1 year old. Due to COVID we wanted to be able to isolate as a family and have fun at the same time. We loved our stay. The property was probably the nicest we have ever stayed at and we rent like this yearly. The owners were so kind. There was enough to do on sight and we were able to take some scenic rides. The home was so clean and inviting. There was even a garden in which they shared their delicious vegetables. Loved the outdoor shower. Thank you. The Smith family

About the host

Hosted by Tom Donovan

Host profile image
My wife Nancy and I have owned waterfront property on Hogan Pond for the last 20+ years. This has been a wonderful location for us to spend time with our Family and friends on many vacations and weekend getaways. Our children have had so much fun swimming, fishing, boating, tubing, exploring, etc. etc. on Hogan & Whitney Pond and the Androscoggin River that runs in several different directions. And they all continue to love to come back and spend time at the "camps".

Why they chose this property

Update:
Over the past Summer and Fall seasons we've had 20+ rentals. We really enjoyed meeting all the different families that came from the surrounding states and as far away as Maryland. Everyone we met was so nice! We couldn't ask for better guests. It was really a great pleasure for Nancy and I have people stay at the property that we've spent many hours working on to make it an enjoyable place to stay. It was interesting hearing what they liked and what they thought could be added to improve their stay. We really appreciated how everyone left the property clean and picked up making it mush easier for getting ready for the next guests. Most expressed and interest in returning the next year so we were happy to hear that! We appreciated suggestions on what we could add/improve to make this property better for their vacation. We've tried to respond to each suggestion and have added improvements. Thanks to All!!

Since Fall we have renovated/finished a new 15' x 24' game/tv above the garage that will have leather couches, ~50" Smart TV, board/video games, etc. In the garage area, we plan on having a pool table, dart board and extra refrigerator for drinks. This will be a great getaway area for the kids or adults. We are excited to offer this additional entertainment and living area for our guests.

Background:
We recently purchased this property in early 2015. We were always awed by the spacious, open views the owners had from their house high above the lake level. The lot is a large enough size to allow many fun non-water activities when you're not out boating on the ponds and river. When the property was listed for sale we were fortunate enough to be in the position to purchase another home on the pond. The interior/exterior of the home had been neglected over the past few years but we have worked very hard to restore this property towards its full potential.

What makes this property unique

Unbelievable views of Hogan Pond throughout the day. We especially love sitting by the campfire or on the deck as the sun sets at the end of the day. A definite must see!! We also enjoy the sounds of loons in the morning (sometimes too early - haha) and during the day. You never know what other animals and nature you'll see throughout the day. Property is spacious with ample space for parking and plenty of room for all types of Family activities. We are always looking to improve the property (e.g. new game rooms and outdoor shower) and add new features for our Guests (new Weber Spirit 3-burner grill and Keurig coffee maker for 2018)
