A clean, sunny, organized cottage that suited our needs nicely. The canoe and kayaks made water play easy. Sand and rock bottom pond. The fishing and kayaking were outstanding! Sara made sure that the necessary household implements and kitchen ingredients were stocked with all the basics, so we really did not need to stock the cottage. Excellent windows and screens for views and breeze, but we did use A/C units occasionally. The stairs are sturdy, but compact, railings are solid. My partner, a retired EMT had us go down stairs backwards, hands on the railing. We are in our 80s and had no problem. (We changed our clothes downstairs where the laundry is.) Sara has a green thumb, a pretty yard, and good grill. We were well taken care of by Liza, her property manager. Just 20 min away is the quaint, well maintained town of Belfast with Irving and Hannaford on the way. We would be delighted to return.

Lovely

We stayed at this lovely pond retreat the week of September 7. This cottage met all of our expectations. The whole neighborhood was very quiet and serene. We never saw more than two kayakers on the pond at the same time. And, the day we kayaked, we had the pond all to ourselves (except for the bald eagle harassing the geese). The place is about 20 minutes from Camden as well as from Belfast.The cottage itself was well-stocked with all of the necessary spices, condiments, pans, and dishes. The windows in the kitchen provided a wonderful view of the pond. Several mornings we woke up to see the fog hovering over the pond - it was beautiful! The only negative with the cottage were the stairs - they are not for the faint of heart. They are steep and narrow; however, even though both of us are in our mid-sixties, we learned how to navigate them. And, this was mentioned in the VRBO write-up, so we were well aware of what to expect.All in all, we would definitely stay at this cottage again. I can’t recommend it enough!

If youre looking for quiet solitude thats close to every amenity you could want, this is the property. Sarah the owner is amazing and her Cottage gives you that Lakefront Maine experience.
