We really enjoyed our New year's stay!
The house is amazing: clean, well-equipped and spacious.
The views are breathtaking. We really enjoyed the porch and grounds around the house.
We were lucky to have snow during New Years. The pond was frozen and beautiful!
The fireplace adds to the cosiness of winter say.
We hope to be back this summer and then next winter.

Loved the cabin. We couldn’t get enough of the view of the lakes each morning and waking to hear loons.

Just two points we would like to make. Originally, our party was to have three individuals. One cancelled several weeks before. Had we had all three, using one shower would have been challenging. Also, when you charge for linens, the guests should not be responsible for washing them, as we were instructed to do. Also, there was no laundry detergent, so we had to go purchase some.

This is a wonderful place - the cabin is well-designed, comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay (including homemade pancake mix and Maine maple syrup!) Sandy Pond is quiet and peaceful, from sunsets to kayaking, with firepit and BBQ added bonuses. The pontoon paddle boat is useful and fun -- makes a great platform to swim from and also to explore the lake for those who don't wish to kayak. Great trail hiking nearby, including waterfalls, mountains, and rails-to-trails paths.
Joanna was really helpful in managing questions and answering any and all questions.
Couldn't have been any better!

We had such a wonderful time at the Hideaway! My husband, 2 children, sister, nephew and mother all fit comfortably and had so much fun. The place was immaculate felt like home. Despite the rainy start to our week, we spent each day paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and made lots of use of the pontoon paddle boat. We even had a visit from the giant turtle that lives in the pond— she was truly amazing to see! Joanna was very responsive and we had no complaints at all. We hope to be back be back again!

Beautiful space
Our family and family friends had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The cabin was beautiful and clean, the personal touches were just a bonus! Joanna allowed us to check in early because there wasn’t a prior day’s guest and that was hugely appreciated after a long drive with small children. Thank you!!

We had an absolutely amazing time here! We brought our dogs and kids and spent the weekend kayaking, fishing, and playing some board games during the rain. The house was everything we wanted and more. The kids asked if we could just stay forever. This is a perfect place for a family trip, very quiet and relaxing to get away from reality for a little while. We will absolutely be coming back!

Great Getaway
I stayed here with my wife, 4 kids, dog and my sister in law's family and her dog.
This was my second time staying at the house and they made some nice upgrades since my last stay (new windows and kitchen appliances). The house is very clean and Joanna is great responding to any questions. She knows my family plays pond hockey when we go so this year she actually shoveled out a small rink for us and set up a make shift bench near the pond so we could change into our skates.
Sugarloaf is a 45 minute ride and we do one day of skiing and the other days we play pond hockey. We pack our ice skates, sticks and hockey net and we shovel out our own hockey rink. We all play for hours then take a break to eat and warm up by the GREAT fireplace.
I recommend packing everything you are going to need for the days you will be there because the stores are not very close and once you get there it is nice to just settle in by the fire and have a few drinks.

The house looked better than the pictures! It was clean, cozy and just beautiful! It was nice to sit by the fireplace and enjoy warm tea. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The owners left a really nice note downstairs by the bar welcoming us at their place. The bar downstairs is awesome! The area is beautiful, no cars, noises. The yard was huge and we enjoyed walking around in snowy woods, our dog loved it as well! I highly recommend this place! We are definitely coming back! :)

Exactly what we were looking for!
We stayed at the Hideaway at the end of August. When we made our booking, we were attracted by its setting and seclusion, and it did not disappoint. Sandy Pond is something special. We loved the motorboat limitation; some days we didn't see anyone else out on the water. There were two loons raising a juvenile on the pond and we spent hours on the dock, watching them go about their lives and observing their different behavior. Bald eagles were frequent visitors, too (eliciting loud warning cries from the loons). In addition to the house's kayaks, we brought paddleboards which made for great impromptu swim docks.
The house itself is lovely. The kitchen is the best equipped of any we've stayed in. The knives were actually sharp! We cooked in every night and ate on the lovely porch. The ground level is quite private, which was nice when we had grandparents visiting - gave them a way to escape from the bustle of the kids. One note: if you normally make drip coffee, you might want to bring your own as the coffee maker at the Hideaway is a Keurig machine.
The Solon corner store is close and very well-stocked for a general store. You could definitely make dinner from their supplies, though a larger provisioning run in Madison/Skowhegan can be helpful. Tip if in those towns: try High Tide/Low Tide Seafood. Nondescript storefronts but love their stuff, especially the smoked mussels!. They have a truck that comes to other towns (Bethel, Kingfield, Rangeley) and it's great.

The hideaway cabin is great. You truly are forced to relax. Which is exactly what we came to do. The kids had blast swimming, kayaking, fishing, and searching for worms. They also loved s’mores by the campfires. The adults enjoyed a few drinks, good food, beautiful views, and company of family. The WiFi works great. The grill is in excellent shape. The only thing that caught me off guard is there is a extra charge to rent the kayaks of $175. All places I have stayed prior to this do not charge extra. Overall, the owners were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. We recommend to anyone who is looking to relax!

Great cabin on Sandy Pond
The cabin was even better than the pictures. It was very well equipped, and had more kitchen supplies than I have seen in a vacation rental - it even had an electric griddle for pancakes! The bedrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out when we had to work or do virtual school. The yard was great and the lake was a quick few steps from the cabin. The kayaks were a lot of fun and with the dock it was easy to get in and out of the pond.
There is a lot to do nearby, including hiking, a moose safari, the skowhegan drive-in and we visited the shop of the Maine Cabin Masters who were all at their shop that day and could not have been more gracious and friendly.
Overall this was a great property, Jonna was a great host, and we had a great stay!
