Lake Front Cottage mit Blick auf den Acadia National Park auf der "ruhigen Seite" des Berges. Wüste

Dieses Cottage in der Hodgdon Pond Farm in Seal Cove auf der "ruhigen Seite" von Mount Desert Island bietet die Nähe zu allen anderen Attraktionen der Insel und zum Acadia-Nationalpark. Das Cottage mit 3 Doppelschlafzimmern und 2 Bädern mit Schlafboden teilt sich 7,4 Morgen und 800 plus oder minus Fuß Uferfront am Hodgdon Pond mit Cottage 2, das etwa 2/3 eines Fußballfeldes entfernt ist. (Siehe 924253VB). Das gegenüberliegende Seeufer ist im Besitz des Nationalparks und wird von diesem geschützt. Es gibt viele wild lebende Tiere und die Gäste sehen häufig Fischadler, Weißkopfseeadler, Eisvögel und viele andere Vögel sowie Rehe, Biber, Bisamratten und manchmal Otter und Elche.

Das Haus verfügt über einen eigenen Steg, Kanu, zwei Kajaks und ein Ruderboot. Am besten schwimmen Sie von den Felsen am gegenüberliegenden Ufer und schwimmen Sie im See. Es gibt einen Holzkohlegrill, einen Picknicktisch und Gartenmöbel sowie eine Hängematte mit Blick auf den See, Sat-TV und Internet. Bitte erkundigen Sie sich bei mir über unsere Stornierungsbedingungen, da diese sich stark von den von VRBO angegebenen unterscheiden.


Es gibt auch zwei kleine Teiche, eine Sitzecke, eine Schaukel und einen Sandkasten auf dem Grundstück, die mit Menschen in Cottage 2 geteilt werden.

Wo immer möglich, verwenden wir umweltfreundliche Reinigungsprodukte, liefern Materialien aus Recyclingpapier und LED-Lampen und setzen andere Maßnahmen ein, um unsere Umweltbelastung zu verringern. Die Umweltschutzbehörde von Maine hat die Hodgdon Pond Farm als "Environmental Leader" zertifiziert.

Obwohl es Betten für 7 Personen gibt, begrenzen wir die Belegung auf 6 Personen, erlauben jedoch gelegentlich eine 7. Person gegen eine zusätzliche Gebühr von 250 USD.

Wonderful place to stay! The cottage had everything we needed and Acadia National Park was amazing!

We had a lovely week at Hodgdon Pond Farm - we would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience a quiet, peaceful setting and visit Acadia National Park.

Paradise in the Most Peaceful Spot on Earth

I have been coming to MDI for 20 years now, and this is, hands down, the finest property I have ever rented. The location could not be more pristine. If you seek true tranquility and an escape from the noise of everyday life, this is the place for you. I never wanted to leave.

Wouldn't Stay Anywhere Else

We always look for privacy and quiet when we book vacation rentals, and this one certainly fits the bill. Add charming and beautiful, with unobstructed views of a private lake and the woods of Acadia, and we found the perfect place. An easy and scenery-filled ride to Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor and Northeast Harbor and to all sections of Acadia, we enjoyed every minute of our week long stay. The owner was helpful and quick to respond to any questions we had. Book it now.

Peaceful Oasis on the Quiet Side

We had an amazing week here, with everything we needed for our family of 7. The house was packed with toys, puzzles, books, and activities for the whole family; the kitchen and bathrooms were well-stocked and more than adequate for us. Beds were comfy and just what we needed. The property is beautiful and quiet, and we enjoyed all the boats and the access to the beautiful pond. We were there just after Labor Day and had the whole pond to ourselves and another family or two. Highly recommended if you want to be on MDI without the crowds and chaos!

Relaxing paradise

The HPF cottage was perfect for our stay. The whole place was very clean and we enjoyed the at-home feel of it. It was a short drive to Acadia and the Park Loop Road. We enjoyed Thurstons Lobster Pound for dinner, which was about a 15 minute drive from the cottage. Our 2 year old appreciated the toys Barbara had at the house (he loved the pull along froggy), and we loved that she had a pack & play and booster seat for him there. The weather didn't cooperate for us to swim but we enjoyed the canoe on the property and loved that there were several small watercraft options to choose from. We loved our peaceful time at HPF and would absolutely return!

Peaceful, relaxing cottage for the perfect getaway

If you're looking for a restful place away from the hustle and bustle, this cottage is perfect. Very clean, well equipped with everything you could need, and situated on a delightfully peaceful pond, yet only a 20 min drive to anywhere on the island. We were able to enjoy sights of the Milky Way on a clear night, an enormous buck relaxing in the field near the cottage, and the amazing warmth of the wood burning stove on the cold nights. Barbara called us to make sure everything was as anticipated, and even offered some advice for a rainy day. Our family really enjoyed this place for our much needed stress-relieving getaway from everyday life, and we look forward to returning in the (hopefully near) future.

Peace and privacy

If you like peace and quiet and privacy, then this is the place for you. Since you can't see the other cabin from yours, you seem to "own" the pond. Our only regret was the low level of the pond in front of our cottage September 2011, but a drought is something no one can change. The owner sets a very high standard for using "green" products which is commendable.
Antwort von VrboOwner am 23. März 2020
I'm so glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet of Hodgdon Pond Farm, though obviously I regret that the water level was low, in fact the lowest I have seen in over 30 years. You're right, there's nothing I can do about a drought, but I will extend and or move the dock and float next spring. I treasure the tranquility of Hodgdon Pond, as do the birds and animals that live there. It's always a pleasure to have people stay with us who appreciate that, as well as our continuing efforts to be "green." Thanks very much!

Fabulous water access, comfortable well maintained home

We have stayed at Hodgdon Farm Pond with various family groupings annually for more than 10 years. In June, July, August, September, October, even November, we have had many wonderful vacations. The house is beautifully maintained and equipped. From lounging in the hammock to kayaking around the pond to grilling, there is always something to do. And we don't give up the comforts of home--dishwasher, washer/dryer, enough private space for family members. Barbara is a thoughtful and friendly landlady. The house is extremely well maintained. And the location is amazing. All the splendors of Acadia are easily available--PLUS our own pond for swimming, fishing, kayaking, canoeing, birdwatching. Every year the wildlife is different--deer peeking in the sliders in October, muskrat on evening patrol in September, loons in high sumer. Our children grew up here. The loft is a wonderful spot for logos, art projects.

Excellent Private Setting on the Quietside of Mt. Desert Island.

My family of four (including 2 almost 8 year-old boys) loved this home away from home. Very well maintained cottage with everything you need. Great selection of boats on the private dock, and truly a quiet setting with lots of privacy. Often we were the only ones on the pond, with about 10 homes lining one side of the pond. The other side is Acadia park land (no development). You look out to pure nature from the property, and have a great view even from inside the cottage. Our kids delighted in learning how to kayak on easy water, and we loved swimming off the float. We prefer the Quietside of MDI. Less traffic, even during this busy time of year, and you get to feel like a local after a few days of going into Southwest Harbor which is just 20 minutes away. Very short drive to some of the sights and great hikes. We will likely come back again, and have been spoiled by everything this cottage offers. Thank you!!

My kids are asking "When can we go back to Hodgdon Pond?"

7-5-14 to 7-12-14 It is difficult to put into words how fabulous this trip to Maine has been. This island has so much to offer and we wanted to do it all. We loved the views of Hodgdon Pond and were were able to kayak, canoe, and swim on several occasions... All four of our children (ranging in age from 9 to 17) found plenty to do at and around the cottage. The younger ones especially enjoyed fishing at the smaller pond and some of our favorite moments were kayaking as a family at sunset. One morning, before the kids got up I enjoyed a run around the pond on the National Park access road. On another occasion, my husband took a bike ride around the same path (around 6 miles). While we loved the National Park, we realize that our experience would not have been as rich without our stay at Hodgdon Pond Farm. It made us feel like we had a portion of the park to ourselves. We will definitely recommend Hodgdon Pond Farm to family and friends and hope to return there again one day! Eric, Mindy, and family, Maryland
Antwort von VrboOwner am 23. März 2020
Thank you for this wonderful review! It makes me very happy to know that you loved the feeling of coming home to the cottage, but never leaving the Park. That's what drew me to Hodgdon Pond years ago. I treasure that The Park owns and protects the opposite shore of Hodgdon Pond and so much land near us that provides safe haven for wildlife as well as those of us who visit. Please come back soon!

A Lifetime of Memories

The morning sun shines gently on the pond as I wake from the comfort of a peaceful nights sleep. The children slumber while I brew coffee in the fully equipped kitchen. Looking out the kitchen window I watch a small chipmunk gather his own breakfast on the dirt road that leads to this quaint cottage. Carrying my Maine coffee cup I walk down to the pond and sit on the dock to greet the day. A bald eagle joins me on his graceful flight over the water as he searches for his own breakfast. The water is like glass and it mirrors the blue sky and a few white puffy clouds that glide out towards the salty ocean just beyond the trees. I drain the last of my New England coffee from my cup and walk back towards the cottage. I find my husband in the living room reading one of the local area books he found on the shelf. "Morning walk?" I ask. He agrees and we head out the door to the dirt road. We stop by the tiny pond behind the house and question what type of animals visit this fairy like location to get a drink. As we walk a little further down the lane we soon discover it was two large bucks grazing in the field of wildflowers. They are not frightened of us on our stroll and just eye us curiously as we continue on our way. We stop at the small family cemetery and read the incredibly old stones. "What history in this beautiful place" we say. We turn and walk back the 1/8 mile to the cottage listening to the sounds of nature all around us. The smell of sugar is in the air as we open the door and find the four teenagers we have brought with us diving into the donuts I had left on the counter. Plans for the day are discussed over the orange juice and chocolate covered treats. A drive into Bar Harbor is requested to walk on the 'land bridge' at low tide and the girls want to do a little souvenir shopping. The boys plan to skip rocks into the ocean to avoid the stores and my husband agrees to go with all of us as he wants to stop outside of town and grab some fresh lobsters for our dinner- of course our kitchen has a lobster pot! What great Maine cottage would not? Upon our return the teenagers head out onto the pond in kayaks and rowboats to swim off the anchored swim platform. My husband starts a fire in the BBQ to grill some steaks while I prepare to steam the lobster. (We learned this technique from the lobster woman we purchased them from). After dinner the boys head out for some evening fishing while the girls and I work on a puzzle in the cozy living room.

We are in the other cottage this week, so I'm going to take a cup of tea to the little ponds and hope to see the muskrats and otter that were there as couple of days ago . We really enjoyed having enjoy HPF and hope you come back soon. All the best with thanks! Barbars

Beautiful and quiet

Great location with easy access anywhere on the island. Excellent fishing in the pond, caught lots of perch and pickerel and bass. Appreciated all the kids books and toys. House got warm during the day but it was unusually hot weather. Didn’t like having to sign a separate lease independent from VRBO agreement. Kids loved the playground. Saw lots of wildlife.

location, location, location!

What an amazing place! If you are looking for a stay in a super-quiet, serene spot, then this is it. The cottage is very nice and extremely thoughtfully/well-equipped. There are 3 bedrooms, 1K and 4 twins (1 single in loft), but the twins can be put together to make a King if needed. Linens are lovely, natural cotton. We cooked every dinner there, including BBQ (charcoal provided, groceries 15min away). The location is fantastic, right on an idyllic large pond, with plenty of (non-motorized) water toys. There are some mosquitoes, as there are everywhere in ME, but very tolerable for the super-bug-attracting me! It was record-breaking hot one day, but there were fans in every room, so we were very comfortable (thank you!!). We used the puzzle table the whole time for puzzles and cards. We were able to get my 85-year old mom out into a canoe quite easily (lifejackets provided). We lay out on the dock one night gazing at the milky way, satellites and even a large shooting star. The sky is incredible if you catch a clear night before moonrise. We had a National Geographic moment with the loons as we sat quietly, and they drifted closer and closer to us, calling and then doing a courtship dance. Awesome place, I can't wait to go back!

On Golden (Hodgdon) Pond

My husband and I stayed a week at HPF and could not have picked a better rental for our first visit to Maine and Mt. Desert Island. Cottage 1 is at the end of the lane--very quiet and private. The cottage is very well equipped with many of the little extras that make a stay comfortable. The master bedroom bed is very comfortable. With the window open at night we heard the loons early in the a.m.! We especially enjoyed the wood stove a few cool evenings. My husband liked fishing the pond from the canoe and I liked the hammock. Owner is prompt and easy to contact. This location is easy drive to Acadia and area sights. When not relaxing at the cottage we: ate at Thurstons and Bealls, had lunch and a walk at Jordon Pond House, went on a nature cruise out of Bass Harbor, took the carriage road bridge tour, hiked with picnic lunch the ocean path trail in Acadia. So our Golden Pond experience definitely lived up to our expectations.

Über den Gastgeber

Zu Gast bei Barbara Lawrence

Bild für Gastgeberprofil
I'm a summer kid who fell in love with Mount Desert Island and lived there year-round for 15 years. After many years and many travels, I still think of it as home. My first novel and sixth book, 'Islands of Time,' is set on Mount Desert Island. Linda Greenlaw, NYT best-selling author said, 'I really like it. It's a love-song to the people and landscape of Maine.' The sequel "The Other Island: Ben's Story" was published in 2017, and I'm proud that Greenlaw and other fine authors have liked it as well.

Darum fiel die Entscheidung auf diese Unterkunft

I was attracted to this property, formerly a hunting and fishing camp, because the ad boasted abundant wildlife. When I first saw Hodgdon Pond Farm, I realized proximity to Acadia National Park gave it enduring protection and privacy, and yet it was convenient to everything else on the island.

Das macht diese Unterkunft einzigartig

I love reading in the hammock beside the lake, and listening to the sounds of the birds and animals - the trill of tree frogs, keening of loons, and the querulous calls of osprey that always sound as if they are trying to get children off to school. Sometimes I hear a beaver slap the water with its tail, and sometimes ravens loudly scolding an eagle. The bullfrogs, Kingfisher, and warblers add to this ever changing, ever fascinating serenade. I also love sitting in one of the Adirondack chairs near the Little Ponds. The last time I was there I watched a mother duck and four very small duckings paddling to the bridge with the beaver dam. When they got very close a mink lunged out from under the bridge - but missed them all. Another time I was weeding the garden between the ponds when an otter stood up about ten feet from me, clutching a frog in its paws, which it then crunched as it rested in the culvert. These experiences carry me through a long winter!
