This is a great location across from the lake near downtown Camden. There are many things to do in this area, such as hiking, shopping , sailing and dining. We had everything we need in the kitchen. The king size bed was super comfortable. I really enjoyed the front room with all of the windows. Beautiful weather so it’s nice to open all the windows to let the breeze in.

What a lovely home! We spent most of our time either on the enclosed sun porch or on the big deck enjoying the lake views. The bedroom was nicely furnished, very large comfortable mattress and nice linens. Two bathrooms, both updated and well appointed. Roomy kitchen - and brand new outdoor grill. Perfect. Only a few minutes drive to Camden and an easy trip to Rockland to see the Farnsworth Museum - a gem. Easy entry, good communication. Owners put a lot of care and attention to maintaining this ideal getaway.

Full disclosure: This review is being written by Katie Crawford, Stuart Dodson's wife. We absolutely loved our stay at the cottage! It's the perfect location to access Camden, state parks, Rockland, Rockport, and so many areas in Midcoast Maine. The cabin is lovingly maintained: simple and rustic but with everything you could need. I loved that it was stocked with spices, aluminum foil and ziplocs, cleaning supplies, toilet paper, fresh towels, and so much more. It's a beautiful spot: the craggy forest right outside the back door, Hosmer Pond across the street, so close to hiking and exploring. We especially loved the sun porch: our 17 year-old daughter slept on the pull-out sofa there. And it was especially wonderful to be able to bring our dog. The owner was responsive and extra kind. Only thing that would've made it better would be a dock across the road for easier access to the pond (although the public put-in is just down the road at the Camden Snow Bowl). Highly recommended! We'd totally stay here again!

This cabin was perfect for our little getaway. Only 5 minutes to downtown Camden and 10 minutes to Rockport. The host was a great communicator and gave us some great recommendations for the area. We only used the bed upstairs, so no opinion on the additional bedding. House was well equipped and stocked for anything you may need to cook meals, etc. Beautiful nature, mountain, and pond views.

The kitchen area is small. Very little work room if you want to cook a meal. We made it work. Used oven and stove top, both worked.

Great location, old house

Great location and very nice deck. We had difficulty with the low ceilings in the upstairs hallway and bathroom. The living room was darker than it looks in the picture. It would be better if there were a bureau in the bedroom for clothes and more cabinet space in the kitchen for food supplies.

Very nice cottage, location and great for fishing!Communication with the owner was excellent and very helpful. It is cozy and also has AC if it is hot out.The biggest surprise, as I am a serious fisherman is the bass fishery in Homer Pond. I fished 3 and a half hours - caught 25 bass. Most were small, but I caught one just shy of 5 pounds (4.75) and one just shy of 3 (2.95). About 8 good size fish - but the small ones are evidence of a healthy fishery. Fished from a kayak with put in across the street. The owner is adding a dock for next season! We will be back for sure.

Kitchen was clean but sink light bulbs were blown out. Two other light bulbs were blown. No replacement bulbs were located. House gets decent amount of spider activity. The King bed was very comfortable. As mentioned in previous reviews there isn’t a major tv cable network just Samsung.The stairs are very steep. The 2nd review pointed this out. The host was very reachable.

Comfortable with great location.

Property was in an excellent location from which one could reach surrounding towns easily and other parks, etc. nice view of lake and excellent nearby swimming . House was fully stocked and was comfortable. In particular, we had several days of rain or heat, and the enclosed porch was a perfect room in which to sit and read during these periods. Both bathrooms are large and good.. Bedroom was comfortable, although the narrow steps leading up to second floor ( about which we were advised) would constitute a problem for individuals who had mobility issues. Would recommend booklet on how to navigate around television ( which we could do, but could not figure out how to get the major channels; the streaming and Roku channels were fine ). Some help could be a booklet explaining about the house and services (the only book was apparently of a prior property manager- when I called, she advised that she no longer managed the property) So I was confused about when and where to put out trash. A washer and dryer would be great, but not critical. All in all, a comfortable and most pleasing property.

The house is in a quiet location despite being right on the road. You will hear an occasional car but it was otherwise quiet and peaceful. The house has a good amount of natural light and the home is sited nicely so you benefit from morning sun without it blinding you.The views of Hosmer Pond from the front rooms downstairs and upstairs are lovely. We enjoyed having a cup of coffee in the enclosed porch off the kitchen every morning and it was magical to sit in the there in the late afternoon and evening. 
We did not spend any time on the back deck, but the rock formations out back are pretty. The place was clean. The kitchen is basic, but worked for us for preparing hot breakfasts and afternoon snacks. The kitchen table was also a nice place to work at our laptops and the wifi was strong. The bedroom has a very comfortable king size bed and plenty of storage for your stuff. The stairs to the second floor are definitely steep (so of you have mobility/balance issues this will not be a good fit for you). Also if you’re tall (5ft 9in and above) you will have to be careful not to bump your head entering the doorway to the bedroom and bathroom upstairs. Despite those caveats, I would stay here again. It offers privacy, a water view, and is only a short (less than 10 minute) drive into downtown Camden.

This is such a lovely cottage and is so close to everything. It's only a 5 minute drive to downtown Camden and about 10 minutes to Rockport. The Snow Bowl is 1/2 a mile away and offers a variety of hiking and biking trails. The house is right on Hosmer Pond and has gorgeous views. We loved all of the natural light in the house. It was perfect for relaxing and enjoying sunsets and we really enjoyed having our dog with us. There is a brand-new grill on the spacious deck. The cottage was clean and had plenty of towels, linens, cooking supplies, etc. There were a few blown light bulbs but the host was responsive and helpful. The stairs to the master bedroom are very steep but the host advised us of this well ahead of time. All in all a special spot and we would most definitely stay here again.
