Firefly Cottage - Lakefront Cottage in Hope - Maines bestgehĂŒtetes Geheimnis

Wir nehmen ab dem 1. Januar Reservierungen fĂŒr 2020 entgegen. Firefly Cottage ist ein wunderbares Ferienhaus fĂŒr Familien, Paare und aktive Senioren. Wenn Sie MobilitĂ€tsprobleme haben, stellen Sie bitte Fragen, da unser Haus möglicherweise nicht fĂŒr Sie geeignet ist. Wir möchten, dass unsere GĂ€ste einen unterhaltsamen und komfortablen Urlaub verbringen. Vermietungen laufen von Samstag bis Samstag.
TOP 10 GRÜNDE, UM BEI FIREFLY COTTAGE ZU BLEIBEN
1. Unser charmantes Ferienhaus liegt 100 Fuß vom Ufer des Hobbs Pond entfernt in einer ruhigen, privaten Umgebung unter schönen BĂ€umen. Es bietet Platz fĂŒr vier Personen in zwei Schlafzimmern im Obergeschoss mit Kiefernholzböden, eines mit einem Queensize-Bett und das andere mit zwei Einzelbetten. Im Erdgeschoss befinden sich eine gut ausgestattete KĂŒche, ein Wohnzimmer, ein Esszimmer und ein komplettes Badezimmer mit Dusche / Badewanne. Attraktiv dekoriert mit geflochtenen Teppichen und komfortablen Möbeln. WiFi, Flachbildfernseher mit DVD-Player, Brettspiele, DVDs, BĂŒcher, zwei Decks, eines mit Gasgrill und Picknicktisch und das andere neben dem See, kinderfreundlich. HĂ€ngematte zum Mittagsschlaf. Die Betten sind mit hochwertiger BettwĂ€sche ausgestattet. Die KĂŒstenstadt Camden liegt nur 10 Autominuten entfernt. Die Anmietung erfolgt wöchentlich von Samstag bis Samstag. Firefly Cottage ist der beste Wert auf Hobbs Pond und vor allem in der Umgebung.
2. Ein friedlicher, unberĂŒhrter, frĂŒhlingsgespeister See liegt direkt vor Ihrer HaustĂŒr! Bietet großartiges Schwimmen und Angeln sowie zwei Kajaks, eine Anlegestelle, Schwimmspielzeug (Nudeln und Spritzpistolen) und eine Schwimmpose. Unser Seedeck ist ein großartiger Ort, um zu sitzen und den Klang der Seetaucher oder die schöne Aussicht auf unsere KĂŒstenberge zu genießen. Neben dem Deck befindet sich eine kleine Feuerstelle zum Braten von Marshmallows. Stufen fĂŒhren hinunter in den See fĂŒr einen einfachen Zugang.
3. Wir mögen eine kleine Stadt sein, aber unsere Gegend ist voller kultureller Attraktionen. Museen, Kunstgalerien, Musikfestivals, Hummerfestival, Filmfestival, WeingĂŒter, AntiquitĂ€tenlĂ€den und Shows / Musik / Filme im Camden Opera House und Strand Theatre sind nur ein Bruchteil der Dinge, die hier zu tun sind.
4. Die freie Natur: Hier treffen die Berge auf das Meer und wir haben viele Wanderwege fĂŒr alle Schwierigkeitsgrade, auf denen Sie alles sehen können. Folgen Sie den Pfaden im Camden Hills State Park, im Coastal Mountain Land Trust und im Georges River Land Trust. Sie können auch FahrrĂ€der mieten, um unsere lokalen Nebenstraßen zu befahren.
5. Unsere Gegend ist ein Paradies fĂŒr Feinschmecker. In Camden, Rockport und Rockland gibt es viele gute Restaurants aller Art. Kochkurse werden auch vor Ort angeboten. Hope hat eine eigene Kneipe (Hatchet Mountain Public House), in der die Einheimischen bei einem Krug und einem Bier entspannen. Viele Restaurants bieten im Sommer Sitzgelegenheiten im Freien, einige mit Tischen direkt am Hafen von Camden.
6. Wo wir gerade von Camden Harbour sprechen: Unser Hafen beherbergt eine Vielzahl von AktivitĂ€ten, darunter Segeln, Kajakfahren, Paddleboarding und Sightseeing. Machen Sie eine zweistĂŒndige Kreuzfahrt mit einem historischen Schoner wie dem Appledore oder Olad. Wir freuen uns ĂŒber die Vielzahl von großen Mastschiffen, die durch unsere GewĂ€sser fahren.
7. Hummer! Maines kultiges Essen kann auf so viele Arten genossen werden. Von Hummerbrötchen-Shacks bis zu Gourmet-Zubereitungen finden Sie in unseren lokalen Restaurants zahlreiche Möglichkeiten, um Ihren Hummerjuckreiz zu lindern. Das Maine Lobster Festival findet Anfang August statt. Firefly Cottage ist auch mit einem Hummertopf ausgestattet, so dass Sie Ihre eigenen kochen können.
8. Gateway to Downeast: Wir befinden uns in zentraler Lage an der KĂŒste von Maine und sind somit ein idealer Ausgangspunkt fĂŒr Erkundungen des Acadia-Nationalparks, der botanischen GĂ€rten der KĂŒste von Maine, LeuchttĂŒrme, StrĂ€nde, Fort Knox (bringen Sie Ihre Taschenlampen mit) und vieler anderer unterhaltsamer Orte, die es zu erkunden gilt.
9. Die Menschen: Die seltene Schönheit unserer Region geht einher mit ihrem Ortssinn. Vielleicht liegt es an unseren kalten Wintern in Maine, wenn wir uns alle umeinander kĂŒmmern, aber die Leute, die unsere Gegend zu Hause anrufen, gehören zu den freundlichsten, raffiniertesten Leuten, denen Sie jemals begegnen werden. Sie werden mit offenen Armen empfangen.
10. Firefly Cottage ist der beste Wert auf Hobbs Pond und vor allem in unserer Umgebung. Wir möchten, dass Sie einen erschwinglichen Urlaub verbringen und dabei eine attraktive, komfortable und saubere Unterkunft vorfinden. Das Ferienhaus liegt in der NĂ€he des Hauses des EigentĂŒmers (3,2 km), sodass wir unseren GĂ€sten bei Bedarf behilflich sein können und Ihnen dennoch PrivatsphĂ€re bieten. Wir leben wirklich in einer authentisch urigen und charmanten Gemeinschaft. Wir sind stolz auf unsere Gemeinschaft und deren Umfeld und Hoffnung, die sich in allem widerspiegeln, was wir tun. Ziehen Sie den Netzstecker, entspannen Sie sich und genießen Sie Ihre Familie und Freunde an einem Ort, an den Sie immer wieder zurĂŒckkehren möchten.
FIREFLY COTTAGE IST EIN RAUCHFREIES ZUHAUSE. Wir erlauben kein Dampfen. KEINE HAUSTIERE, BITTE. Die maximale Belegung betrĂ€gt 4 GĂ€ste. Alle BettwĂ€sche werden gestellt. Wegen Diebstahl bitten wir Sie, Ihre eigenen HandtĂŒcher mitzubringen.

Another Perfect Week at Firefly Cottage

We returned to Firefly Cottage this year and it was more wonderful than the last time. It is quiet, private, clean, and well-equipped. The peace I felt as I had my morning coffee down by the water and hearing the loons at night was just what I needed in a Maine vacation. Perfect for a single, couple, or a small family- this place is comfortable and memorable.

Amazing lakefront cottage

We love visiting Maine, this was our first time staying in a cottage on the lake and it was a dream. Very peaceful, sitting outside and having coffee in the morning was great. My husband had fun fishing while I sat by the lake reading. Would definitely return.

Lakefront paradise

We had a wonderful stay at this vintage Maine property. The cottage, location, and amenities were EXACTLY as described and the owners could not be nicer or more helpful. We were a group of three, ages 64, 25, and 23, and all found the cottage, paths, lake access, etc. comfortable and easy to manage. Thank you Swift family for sharing this piece of Maine, and we hope to return again!

A relaxing getaway on a quiet pond with scenic sunsets.

We enjoyed getting up early and sipping our coffee on the deck outside the cabin then heading down to the lower deck by the pond. The location was perfect for visiting nearby towns Camden/ Rockport/ Belfast. The small Hope general store and nearby Linconville general store are a must stop for a cup of coffee and muffin or a pizza. Did nearby hikes up Bald Mountain, Maidens Cliff and Fernalds Neck. Next time Hatchet Mountain.

Vacation at Lakehouse

We are a young couple who stayed for 3 nights at the cottage. We had a great stay. The cottage was cool, small but plants of room for 2 and could’ve comfortably fit 4. The lake was amazing. I would recommend taking the kayaks out for a day. Some good hikes nearby and lots of small Oceanside towns to see along the coast. WiFi worked great. No cable but games and DVDs were provided. Overall a great relaxing stay

A lovely lakeside retreat

My husband, 2yo son, and I had a lovely time at firefly. Every morning we sat out on the deck by the lake enjoying a cup of coffee and watching the loons. You do have to bring your own bath towels, which was a bit of an inconvenience for us since we already had toddler stuff in tow, but otherwise the cottage had all of the basics. A lovely, quiet retreat in the woods.

Great cottage for the price

Beautiful and quiet pond. We stayed the week of July 4th and felt we had the lake to ourselves. Kayaking was great. The loons were always around and beautiful. Fishing and swimming off the dock was so fun.The rainy day we had led us to a day in Freeport for shopping at LL Bean! It was so nice being 20 minutes away from beautiful Camden-we had dinner in town several times. The cabin was clean and cute. The pictures are very accurate.

Far exceeded our expectations!

Our family loved this cottage! Our goal on this vacation was to take day trips to many of the harbor towns nearby...only it was very hard to get our kids to leave the cottage because they were having so much fun. It was so relaxing, clean and quiet. I enjoyed my mornings by having my coffee sitting down on the deck and my evening strolls in the kayak. We even had a little fire in the fire pit one night and had smores. This was one of our most enjoyable family vacations. Kathy (the owner) was so helpful to answer all my questions before booking and also gave me suggestions about restaurants and area attractions. I would definitely book this cottage in the future and have already recommended it to family & friends.

Adorable Cottage

Beautiful stay. The cottage was adorable, kitchen was very well equipped and super clean! Kathy gave us native strawberries on our arrival, along with the cutest vase of fresh flowers. We loved the path to the lower deck toward the water, with pine trees and ferns. We swam and used our blow up boat. There were swim noodles, a buggy board and kayaks to use. The view from the lower deck was lovely. One of our favorite things was listening to the Loons. There are many videos in the cottage along with game boards. The video on the Loons was a nice touch. We visited Three Bug Farm (they have freshest salad greens), Linconville General store (best pizza), Linconville Beach, Camden Clothesline Laundry (laundry stop), downtown Camden, Belfast, Bucksport, and the Lincolnville Strawberry Festival. We hope to visit again!

Relaxing little retreat

After some initial cleaning to bring the cabin up to our standards, we settled in and became a bit more comfortable. We still can’t get over carpeting throughout the whole downstairs including the kitchen and bathroom though. The bathroom carpet was soaked when we got there from the previous renters. The house is in need of some maintenance, ripped screens etc. . The kitchen, although small, was well equipped. Bedrooms were clean and comfortable with hardwood floors. The pond was pristine and lovely. Great for fishing. Very pretty view. The fire pit at the edge of the pond at the lower deck was a nice touch. It was a great base camp for venturing out in the area. Plenty to do in Camden and the surrounding area.

We'll Be Back

We stayed at Firefly Cottage for a week and loved it. Hobb's Pond is a peaceful lake that is very clean. The loons were wonderful to listen to and we even saw a bald eagle. Camden is a delightful town to be a tourist in and there are many activities to do within just a few miles. The cottage is very comfortable for a family of 4 and is very clean and decorated in a very pleasing way. The new deck next to the lake was a great place to drink our morning coffee and greet the day. The owners are also very friendly and eager to make sure your vacation is enjoyable. They left fresh flowers in the cottage for us and packets of Maine wildflowers. The swimming and fishing were great fun for our kids and the kayaks allowed us to really explore the lake. We found a great sand beach across the lake from the cottage. We enjoyed our stay at Firefly immensely and plan to return someday. We felt it was a great value for such a nice little home and would recommend it to anyone wanting a relaxing vacation.

Firefly Cottage

The cottage was clean and organized. All of the cottages we rented on this trip had 2:00 or 3:00 check-in, so I thought this was a little late (4:00) But the biggest problem was that there is no mention of the bedrooms being on the second floor with some pretty steep stairs to climb. One of us had to sleep on the futon (that was broken and couldn't be opened) because of the stairs. I have looked over the description several times and the only thing I have found is that the cottage isn't wheelchair accessible. Not the same thing.

Sweet cottage on the water!

My family and I had a wonderful week at this sweet cottage. It was both relaxing and fun! We spent every day outside. The deck by the water is a lovely spot to have your morning coffee or tea and end the day with a campfire. We loved watching the full moon rise over the lake. Just beautiful! Hearing the loons was such a unique experience! There is so much to do without leaving the property...kayaking, swimming, fishing, reading in the hammock, and the owners thoughtfully provide all you need to enjoy your stay. Even though it’s located down a secluded gravel road, it’s a short drive to the surrounding towns, groceries, and great hikes/bike trails. The upstairs bedrooms are adorable! We loved waking up to the sunrise through the skylights. If you’re looking for a fancy place to stay, this isn’t for you...the kitchen and bathroom are a bit dated. But if you’re looking for a wonderful time away in nature in a beautiful setting, this cute cottage has everything you need in a great location!

Lovely Lake House

We spent a relaxing week in this wonderful lake house. It was perfect for a couple. It would have been fine for a couple of children, as well, but I wouldn’t recommend more than that. Recognize that the water from the faucets is not for drinking/cooking. I must have missed that in the description (but the owners kindly alerted me to the fact, prior to our arrival). This was slightly inconvenient as we occasionally forgot and used faucet water for brushing teeth, etc. I hope we don’t come to regret that (nobody likes Giardiasis). One reviewer took issue with the rough road to the house. It’s true that portions of the road are high-centered. We bottomed-out a Toyota Corolla our first time down. After that, we drove more slowly and with one set of wheels on the high, center ridge. We had no more problems.

Beautiful pond!

We enjoyed staying at this small cottage on beautiful Hobbs Pond. The interior of the cottage is small, but works well for two adults. Everything was clean and neat and the kitchen was fully stocked. The stairs are steep, but we had no problem. The lower deck near the water was great...we enjoyed having coffee there in the morning when the sun was shining on it. We went swimming most mornings and the water is so clean. We really enjoyed that. The sun only reaches the deck until about 11:00 am, and then is in the shade the rest of the day. Our only issue was that the deck off the house was not too inviting. It could use a good power washing and maybe a few decent chairs. We did use the grill, but would have liked to sit outside there more often. The whole lot is very wooded so be aware there's not much sun to warm you on a cool day. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, Kathy was very attentive when we needed a new coffee pot, and the description of the cottage is very accurate. I would give it 5 stars for the interior, but 4 stars for the outside of the cottage. It is definitely a good deal, and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great location without spending an arm and a leg.

Incredible location

This is a beautiful spot and really ideal for water lovers: there is a deck right on the water, a nice set of steps right into the water, a narrow dock out into the water, and a great old wooden float for jumping off of. Hobbs is pristine. There was some boating traffic, including a speed boat that very narrowly missed one of us in a kayak, but for the most part it is very quiet. There are several kayaks for use, which we really enjoyed. There is also a fire pit right at the water's edge, which we loved. 10/10 for the pond and access to it. Most of what you need to know about the cabin is well described, so read carefully! It's small! We caught two rainy days and struggled to play board games on the tiny kitchen table and to get comfortable for a movie (we are a family of four). I saw some recent mention of issues with cleanliness and we noticed no evidence of this at all, it was very tidy. The cabin does have a strong smell - I don't think this has to do with cleaning, it's just a house in the woods and it's VERY moist. We ran the dehumidifier every night and anytime we were all out of the house and it filled up each time. I think it's clear in the description but just in case: the stairs are steep and open on one side, so folks with small children and/or mobility issues should skip this one. Kitchen was nicely equipped. General location of the spot is excellent, there is so much to do around there for adults and kids, and we enjoyed several local meals. Host was very easy to communicate with, and we enjoyed the sweet bouquet of homegrown flowers and the treats she left for us. We weren't wild about being asked to vacuum the entire house, particularly as the vacuum provided did not work particularly well and lugging it up the steep steps to tackle small area rugs felt like a bit much while packing up a family of four to be out by 10. Overall: terrific pond, extremely tight fit for a family of four, kinda on the funky side.

Wonderful cottage in a beautiful setting

I am very puzzled by some of the complaints I saw in the previous review so I want to make sure that in my review I respond to them. We just spent a very nice week in Firefly cottage. It is a relatively small, cozy cabin, ideal for a family of four people or less. We were two adults and two children, ages 11 and 15 and we felt very comfortable there. It has a nice kitchen, a dining area, and a cozy living room on the first floor, and two very nice bedrooms on the second floor, one with a full/queen bed and another with two twins. It also has a large deck with a gas grill and a table. It is beautifully decorated in a lodge/coastal style, has all kitchen utilities a family needs to cook in the cottage, and although it does not have a stove, there are heaters in every room, so it never was cold even on rainy days. Some people complained of the staircase. We had no problem at all. Yes, it does not have a railing, so you need to be careful but it is absolutely normal stairs, not dangerous at all. It is not for people with limited mobility though. Also, some people complained about the path to the lake. I am now puzzled. The path is wide and nice. Yes, it is woods path but what do you expect? t is a cabin in the woods. When it is dark, there are sensory lights on the path, very convinient. It takes less than half a minute to get to the lake from the house! The house is situated at the end of the dirt road, well passable yet secluded. You really do not have any walking/hiking paths right from the cabin but there are a few really nice hikes nearby. There are enough kayaks for four people, and the boat dock is very well done. There is a beautiful new deck by the lake with a bistro set and a fire pit, ideal to have a morning coffee or evening campfire. The view is beautiful! The entrance to the lake is very comfortable, the water is relatively warm, and the floating dock is a great addition. You can explore the lake by kayak or fish if you have a license. ( easy to buy and not expensive!) We kayaked and saw a female loon with babies really close! It was such fun! Camden with all typical Maine coastal village life is just 15 minutes away. The owner was very nice and helpful and made some suggestions that really made our stay very comfortable. We hope to be back next summer! Thank you!

September getaway

Firefly Cottage was a lovely relaxing setting for a post-Labor Day Maine vacation. A great place to read, cook, watch the water or just hang out, but also close to Camden/Rockland. We enjoyed the Litchfield Fair, Owls Head Lighthouse (Maine Open Lighthouse Day), Belfast for sightseeing and shops, and a day trip to Acadia NP. Such a good time, highly recommend!!

My husband and I run Firefly Restoration Co, restoring antique fire engines. We have raised two sons in Hope. We believe in giving back to our community, volunteering to put on Hope Day, serving as a trustee at the Owls Head Transportation Museum and helping to raise funds to preserve Hatchet Mountain.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

Hobbs Pond is one of the most pristine and quietest lakes in the area with wonderful swimming, boating, fishing, loons and other wildlife. Firefly Cottage sits under tall mature trees and offers cooling shade on warm summer days. You will experience privacy, peace and quiet when you want it, yet you are still close to many things to do and see. Camden is just a 10 minute drive away with many activities, restaurants, shops and galleries. Acadia National Park is a wonderful day trip. We are the ideal place to vacation in the Maine woods, offering both privacy and peace while still close to many activities and unique points of interest.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

The lakeside deck is a wonderful place to sit by the lake, watch the kids swim, have a drink and offers gorgeous views of the Camden Hills. Loons abound in the lake and you will enjoy their calls. Take the kayaks out on the lake to get a closer look at these beautiful birds and their chicks. Our hammock is the perfect place to take a nap. The cottage is close enough to our home (2 miles) that we can be of assistance to our guests if needed, while still offering you privacy. Firefly Cottage sits in a quiet, peaceful location yet we are very close to all the activities our area offers.
