Great get away for two!
5/5 The house is on a beautiful pond (which is more like a lake) with beautiful sunsets and atmosphere (especially the loons!). It is actually quite convenient to grocery stores and other businesses. We enjoyed the grill, canoe and firepit. The bed is very comfortable, and the bathroom is roomy with great water pressure and hot water. Great spaces to hang out inside and outside. Considering going again next summer.

Relaxing Stay
5/5 Just what a camp should be, all necessary amenities, charming interior. Nice sandy beach, and warm clear water.

5/5 We love the cabin on Bear Pond! We’ve stayed there a few times now and plan to go back again this summer. It’s perfect for us. It’s calm and relaxing, right on the water with such great lake access and beach area. We’ve stayed at quite a few places in Maine on lakes, but this is our favorite.

Beware…
2/5 No heat source, no drinkable water, cracked toilet, dangerous access to the water, poorly stocked kitchen, no place unpack clothes, no tv service, could not access the dock. The cottage needs lots of work be rentable. We left two days early.

Not rustic - broken
2/5 The beach and lake were beautiful. The cabin was a mess. Many things broken, lots of dry rot around sliding glass door, holes in towels, etc. The list goes on. I would not have continued to stay here if it wasn't for the lake where I spent most of my time when I was there.
