LOVE THIS HOUSE, just what we needed. This a very relaxing house that is right on the water. Everything we needed was right there and if something was missing the owners live right down the road and they were very quick to respond to our requests, big or small.

Great place to relax and recharge.

Hated to leave, everyone was super nice and made us feel right at home.

I would recommend this rental to anyone.

Great Week on Chemo Pond

Review submitted: August 29, 2012   Date of arrival: August 12, 2012

The 722 mile drive from Baltimore was well worth the backups and tolls; our vacation house on Chemo Pond was just the antidote to that and stress-filled modern living. The house was very clean, very comfortable, well-equipped, and situated on that beautiful pond with Acadia National Park a short drive south, and Baxter State Park an hour and some north. The kids lived on the water, in the kayaks, on the raft; we adults thought they'd sprout scales. Beautiful sunsets and sunrises, the big dipper and milky way at night, marshmallows at the fire ring, loons crying out and fishing, chasing after bald eagles in the canoe, it all made for a perfect vacation. And Josh Greer, our amiable and very attentive host, was always close by, welcomed us like family, and offered helpful suggestions about shopping, hiking Mt. Katahdin, etc. As the senior member of our traveling group, this vacation was most memorable for me, and I heartily recommend this vacation house and Josh Greer as host.

Nice Vacation Home

This home is very comfortable. We had our family reunion here and it accommodated us all very well (7 adults, 3 kids under 8 and a dog). We all enjoyed swimming - even the dog. There is a nice canoe, 2 kayaks and a pedal boat. The lake is very nice and peaceful, especially early in the morning. There is a fire pit and the owner provides plenty of dry wood for easy fire making. We cooked most of our meals there and used the gas grill that is on the front deck. Grocery stores are not far away. We didn't visit Acadia, but it would be an easy drive. We hiked up Chick Hill and Eagle Bluff. I really liked the Eagle Bluff trail and the views on top are amazing.

The kitchen could be equipped with better pots and pans. Some of the pans there should be thrown out in my opinion. I think we were the second family to rent this, so this will probably be remedied soon.

I would recommend this property. It was a great week!

Great Escape

We really enjoyed our vacation to Maine. This cottage is on a beautiful lake (although they call it a pond). The house has kayaks, a paddle boat, a canoe, and a wonderful deck. It is perfect for 2 families with sleeping spaces upstairs and down. It is about an hour from Acadia and Bar Harbor which allows for great day trips although we could have spent the entire time at the cottage and on the lake. The owners live nearby which is great if you need tips or anything.

Recommended for: age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, sight seeing, romantic getaway

Home away from home...even better

We loved our stay here, it was so peaceful and quiet. Anyone who stays here will appreciate the open floor plan of the kitchen, dining room, and living room, it was just what we needed to do our own thing, whether it was cooking or watching tv, meanwhile still staying connected. The homeowners were very friendly and accommodating. The kitchen was fully stocked with everything that you would need. It was also nice, not to have to pack linens for the beds as they were already provided for us. The home came with wireless internet access, which was a huge plus, so we could check our e-mails daily. We enjoyed relaxing around the campfire and cooking dinner on the gas grill. The memories of the sunrises and sunsets along with the sound of the loons were priceless and are ones we will cherish. We can't wait to return again! Thank you!
