My two sons, two dogs and I had a wonderful stay at the Dodge Lodge!
The view is amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed kayaking the pond, though my son had zero luck catching any fish.
This is truly a lodge in the woods about a half hour from civilization. As you might imagine, that has its pros and cons.
If you're seeking to truly escape hustle-bustle, indulge nature, capture serenity and all its amazing views, this is your getaway gem!
Our host Paul was beyond exceptional - extremely communicative!

We spent a fall week at Paul’s place. The place was just right for our family of 3 and we loved the location!

We enjoyed a very peaceful and relaxing week at this quaint Maine "camp." Beautiful sunrises and morning coffee on the porch, kayaking on the calm pond, and moonlit campfires. We found everything to be exactly as described in the listing. If you are expecting 5-star accommodations, this probably isn't the property for you. This is, however a very nice "camp" cottage with a full kitchen, electric, plumbing, and a full size water heater. Two main floor bedrooms with double beds were quite small with limited storage. Upstairs loft had six single bed bunks. As another review mentioned, the matress wasn't the most comfortable, but I believe the host mentioned plans to replace matresses next summer. Also, as mentioned in the listing and in other reviews, there is a ramp and stairs from the driveway to the cottage. This provided a bit of a challenge, as I'm a few weeks from knee replacement surgery - not impossible, but definitely something to be aware of for guests with mobility issues. The host provided excellent communication prior to our arrival and made an effort to get in touch with us during our stay to ensure that we didn't have any questions or issues. Centrally located and within an hour or two of a lot of things to see and do. We took day trips to Bangor, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Camden, and Lupec. My husband is already talking about going back and taking another couple or our adult children with us next time. We definitely enjoyed our time at the "Dodge Lodge."

We savored our time at the Dodge Lodge with its gorgeous views of the lake, whether from the upstairs bedroom, the sunporch, and the dock. If you're looking for a luxurious lakeside experience in a newer cabin, you'll see from the listing that this isn't in any way pretending to be that! But if you're looking for a camp full of character and time and soul, with beautiful light and lots of great details (the air hockey table in the boathouse, the built-in shelves in the sunroom, the wooden steps to the dock), then you've found your happy place. We deeply appreciated our two weeks here, treating this lovely camp as our own, and we are excited that we will be back next year!

The area is beautiful. Everything was as stated. Found a few things, storage for food had no cupboard space. The Ramp was steep, anyone with difficulty ambulating would find it hard getting up and down. Space was limited in living area due to "Cabin Clutter" and oversize furniture. It had everything somewhere! Up in bunk area beds were uncomfortable. Recliner was great. Everything work. Many steps to dock and front door. All are visible in pictures. TV and Wi-Fi worked well. Rent again, probably, Camps are Camps!

My wife and i had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Dodge Lodge. The Dodge's are very kind and fantasticto work with. The views from the lake house are beyond what i could describe here. Be sure to wake well before sunrise and sit by the lake to watch thesun come up. If you're lucky you'll get to hear the loons call.
The cottage is just under one hour from Acadia. We made the trip daily and it is actually a nice time to reflect, especially if you spent the day hiking or biking. If you plan to go to caddilac mountain get your reservation early. For hiking Acadia see the visitor center to register, (bring your mask, they don't mess around).
We also took a boat tour, $38 each and more great views, we saw deals, porpoise and even three bald eagles.
I could go on and on. Such a great stay.

Paul was a conscientious host and the cabin was lovely. Molasses Pond is beautiful.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dodge Cabin! It is like going to camp but with several comforts. We loved being on the pond and while it was quite the drive to Acadia(which we anticipated), it was a wonderful place to make our base for a week. Sunrises are amazing, the property is beautiful and we truly had a great time. I call this camp because it’s not pristine or luxurious to most, but it feels like home away from home and we truly enjoyed where we were which made it a hard place to depart from. Paul is a fantastic host and makes sure you get there safe and an open ears to any concerns the guest may have (which we had none). If you are looking for a true Maine cabin experience, this is it! We would love to come back!

We had a very nice time at the cottage. The lake views are outstanding, and we enjoyed relaxing around the outdoor fire pit. Having access to the kayaks is a great perk that many homes do not offer. The communication process with Mr. Dodge was excellent from the initial booking until we arrived. Minor issue with a locked boathouse was resolved very quickly. Just be sure that you can make calls through a web calling app. My cell phone had no service, but my son was able to dial out with his through the app. Wifi, Roku and AC on 1st floor worked great. Would stay again if we if we had the chance.

This was our first trip to Maine, and we wanted to find a true Maine cottage, and boy did we ever. Paul is the absolute best host I have ever encountered. He was so pleasant to communicate with by phone and email, even checking in to make sure we got there safely. The house exudes vintage charm and we truly felt "home" the entire time we were there. The lake was so clear, the view was stunning (be sure to wake up for a sunrise). We saw loons, ducks, fish, frogs and even a bald eagle. The ability to use the paddle boat and kayaks was such an added bonus. There is a little green space with a picnic table and firepit, and the surrounding woods gave you a sense of seclusion. The location is incredible, we were able to visit Acadia, downtown Bar Harbor, Bangor and the quaint little town of Ellsworth, all within an hour or less drive, and then come back to our own private sanctuary for peace and relaxation. If you are looking for a true getaway, this is it!

This house is the best. It is cozy and so cute inside. Comfortable, with a nice sun porch that is amazing on sunny and rainy days. The outside of the property was amazing. Simply gorgeous and so relaxing. There were a variety of boats for us to use and the pond is just perfect. There was also a fire pit and chairs available for us. Paul our host was a good communicator and very nice. We can’t wait to come back to this great retreat- which is close to Ellsworth as well as Acadia. A great vacation that our kids enjoyed as much as we did!

Clean, modern lake cabin with lots of space. Quiet, with only one neighbor separated by thick trees. Owners were engaged and called to check on our safe arrival and satisfaction. Would stay again.

We loved staying at Paul's - it was so nice to have access to the pond, kayaks, fire pit, etc. all within the rental. The pond is so clean and the water was so nice! Paul was so kind to check in on us often, and his property is a gem.The only thing I wish was that the house were a bit cleaner - linens and everything were totally fine, but there were definitely areas that could have been dusted/swept etc. But it was super homey, so it wasn't really a bother.Lovely stay - so close to Acadia Ntl Park and Bar Harbor too! Easy to get everywhere with a car.

The "dodge lodge" was perfect for a week away from quarantining in the city. We spent a lot of time kayaking on the pond, fishing, and enjoying the peace and quiet, and actually seeing the stars! Waking up to the fog over the lake made us reconsider our life choices-- how could we go back to living without this view? The additional access to boathouse and tools was very kind and trusting of Paul. The property had lots of sleeping spaces. Kitchen had many amenities and cookware. The property is about an hour from Acadia and 30 mins from Ellsworth where all the main shopping can be done (shout out to MOMO's CHEESECAKE!! :D) overall we had an amazing experience at a pretty competitive price. We gave the lowest rating for cleanliness because there was an issue with the cleaning accommodations from the previous guest. The home was definitely a bit "lived in" by the time we got there, but it wasn't too off putting. Nonetheless we had a great time!
