Great Lake Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Ralphs place. We swam and used the kayaks. Great floats available for our use. The kids loved fishing from the dock. Kitchen had anything that you could imagine you might need. We used the grill everyday and enjoyed the campfire. Peaceful area on quiet pond

Center Pond vacation

Had a great time. Pond is serene. If you love the outdoors (we dayhiked parts of the AT and Baxter) this is a great base camp with almost all the comforts of home. Don't miss Stutzmans for brunch!

So Peaceful

This lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Great Bass fishing, averages about 3 -4 lbs that we caught during our stay. Kitchen is fully equipped that no matter what you cook or bake, they got it covered with pots/pans/utensils. Great view of the lake from the loft, livingroom and downstair bedroom. Lake is super clean but you may want to wear watershoes for comfort. Ralph was a super great host. Answered all questions within a timely fashion. Thank you Ralph and Kim for a great place to stay at.

Beautiful Cabin Retreat

My family and I spent a week here and had an amazing time. We enjoyed the quiet pond everyday! We were almost always the only ones in the water. The kayaks we such a wonderful bonus. Still close enough to get what you need but secluded enough to relax and not worry about the rest of the world. We had one of our best vacations here.

Quiet, charming retreat.

We found the perfect place with the right combination of relaxation and outdoor activities. Center Pond is peaceful, the house is immaculate, and there is plenty to do in the area. Our busy NJ family (including teenagers- tough critics) had a wonderful week in this well stocked, charming home. We even enjoyed the long winding back roads to get to groceries and ice cream!

Loved this place

The cabin and property were beautiful. It was clean, very well appointed and comfortable. Ralph was quick to respond to any questions or issues that arose. The kayaks, dock, hammock and firepit were the icing on the cake and where we spent most of our time given the perfect weather we had for the week. Highly recommend.

Perfect Retreat

This cottage was the most beautiful we have ever rented in both Vermont and Maine. The attention to providing guests the very best is appreciated! This trip we were able to visit a few new hiking/climbing spots in the area. There is so much to be explored in this quiet, beautiful area. The view every morning and evening on Center Pond is well worth the trip from NJ!

Very good vacation

Absolutely loved our stay at the cabin on the lakefront! The location was breathtaking with stunning views of the serene lake right from the cabin's doorstep. The host was extremely welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. Waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoying the beautiful sunsets made our stay truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. Five stars all the way!

Center Pond

Excellent week at Center Pond. Very nice property and quiet. Owner is very attentive if needed. Beautiful area. Would recommend visiting Stutzman's Farm, Peace Love and Waffles. and Turning Page Farm. Mt. Kineo and Borestone Mountain (Audubon Sanctuary) are also great if you want some easy hikes (Note: somewhat physically challenging if not in decent shape).

Perfect getaway!

We enjoyed this place soooo much! It has everything imaginable that a person would need. The upstairs loft with the bedroom and sitting area is like being in a treehouse. It was so nice looking out at the lake. The front lawn is spacious and the hammock was so relaxing to lie in and look up at the sky. There's a fire pit that came in handy on the cool evenings. The lake is great for bass fishing, and the stars at night are amazing! We even got to enjoy a full moon while we were there. I highly recommend staying here!

Tranquil getaway

This is a wonderful place. Well-equipped with everything you need for a lake vacation. Private and quiet, except for the loons who sound a symphony at times over the lake. We loved that part especially. Ralph was so easy to work with and very responsive to all of my questions before our stay. He provides you with lots of detailed information . The place was very clean and comfy. Really enjoyed our stay and would definitely return for another relaxing week!

Perfect & Peaceful

This property was absolutely perfect. Check in was easy and Ralph was very quick to respond to any questions I had. The home was super clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need for the week. Our girls, aged 8 & 9, had so much fun with the water being steps away from the back door. I highly recommend this property and wouldn’t think twice about renting it again. Thank you Ralph & Kim for opening your home to our family.

Excellent

Very comfortable, well stocked cottage. Website is very accurate. Owners are wonderful and respond to all emails within 24 hours. Pond is very big and has BIG bass. You will have to have patience in finding out what they will bite but all the Bass that we caught average from 2.5 lbs to 4 lbs. We used a popper.
