We had such a great time. The property is very nice easy to walk around. The path to the dock is hard to find, the area and towns are beautiful. The house had everything in it that you needed. Awesome stay.
I arrived in the middle of a late March snow storm! After harrowing driving conditions, it was a relief to enter a very warm and cozy cottage in the woods at Boyd Pond. The gas stove was lit and made the cottage warm and inviting.The chairs around the stove were very comfortable. the kitchen was well-stocked with all you need to cook and eat a great meal.The owners were available at a moments notice, and were very helpful with answers to my questions.All in all, I look forward to my next stay at Boyd Pond. I have been coming to Lincoln County for 25 years, and this location was a great surprise.
This is the 4th year we have stayed and loved it! The new chairs in the living room area were a great addition. The property inside and out was clean and well maintained. This is also close to my parents’ house, and close to Damariscotta, the lighthouse, restaurants, and of course the water. We will be back again next year!
This place is wonderful! It has everything you could possibly need for a comfortable, relaxing stay. It was nice to have a quiet place to return to after a day's activity. We had a great week!
I stayed here with friends for a local wedding. The home was very cute and well-kept. It is in a great location, making it an easy drive to towns in multiple directions. Our only negative was that we had to take all trash with us and because we left on a Sunday, the local transfer station was closed, so we had to drive for a while with our trash in the car.

Really enjoyed our stay at this cabin in the woods. It was a lovely setting with pond and nearby trail access. It was close to our family and favorite places in Bristol, Chamberlain and Pemaquid.
We had a great stay at this lovely cabin located near many things, but with peace and quiet surrounding it. The owners were great and let us use their kayaks and canoe to enjoy the nearby large pond. Would definitely recommend this place to others.
Property was everything as advertised.Very nice. Didn’t hear at all from property manager during stay. I would expect PM would call shortly after our arrival to make sure everything was OK. They didn’t.
This cabin style house was perfect for us and our grandchildren. Just minutes from the beach and restaurants. House was very clean and very well stocked. It is in the woods in a very quiet neighborhood. We thought it was perfect.
Honest 5 star review on all counts. We had a peaceful and restorative stay. Everything was easy and well thought out. Highly recommended, and we'd go again.

Chsrming cabin set among beautiful Maine pines
Well maintained property with involved owners who take pride in this vacation home. It is convenient to restaurants and Maine's beautiful coastline. Our family of 6 found the indoor and outdoor living areas to be spacious and comfortable. We hope to return again soon.
The property was in a nice peaceful location. House has everything you would need. I was very satisfied and would recommend to others!

About the host
Hosted by Sandra Guzas
My husband and I grew up in Worcester, MA and lived most of our lives in the Massachusetts area. When our children 'flew the nest' we decided to move to New Hampshire, which is where we currently reside. We have always wanted a home in Maine.
Why they chose this property
We found this wonderful property in Bristol many years ago and were finally able to build our dream home as well as a comfortable smaller version for our children to use. We decided to open up our lovely smaller property to renters who could enjoy the peace and serenity of the area as well as the many activities available in the spring, summer and fall.
What makes this property unique
Centrally located to many attractions in the mid-coast area.
