About this property

Sandy Waterfront Cabin on Howard Pond - 12 minutes to Sunday River Ski Resort

A Real Maine Waterfront Gem!
This newly renovated Log Cabin sits 15 feet from the crystal clear waters of Howard Pond in Hanover Maine. The soft grass lawn leads to a sandy water entrance. Amazing westerly views to watch the sun disappear over the Mahoosuc Mountains. All the comforts of home, sun all day, beautiful sunsets, western exposure, and clean water for swimming will make you want to stay all summer. The pond has Salmon and Brook Trout if you like to fish. All you need to have a perfect vacation, is to be here!! If you like quiet, this is for you.
Open concept downstairs, two bedrooms upstairs. There is a dishwasher and washer/dryer to make your life easy.
Hike, bike, canoe, fish, kayak, golf or just relax with a book and a cocktail. Enjoy beautiful scenic drives through the western mountains of Maine. If your lucky, you may spot a moose. Hiking on the Application Trail is a short drive away. Golf at two 18 hole courses close by (Sunday River and Bethel Inn). If you are renting in summer months, we may require a Saturday to Saturday rental.
The perfect week awaits you.

I am happy to hear you had a great time. I’m not sure why you left a 4 star review because I can’t control the weather. I hope you have better luck with weather the next time you pick dates for your getaway. Happy New Year. 😃

Week away on the pond

Exactly what we needed to recharge. Great location and cabin. Near hiking, good food and drink, and convenient shopping within 20 min, all while being away from the hustle bustle. Look forward to coming back.

Our stay was amazing! The house was cozy which made for the perfect getaway for my husband and myself. We will definitely be returning.Only recommendation would be to add life jackets for when going onto the lake.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 July 2025
Thank you for your wonderful review. We enjoyed having you as renters and would love to have you as repeat guests. We have considered providing life jackets but everyone would need a different size and that would be hard to provide. We do provide a couple of adult life cushions for you to use. 😀. Hope to see you again.

This is a beautiful clean lake in the mountains. The cabin is 20 steps to the lake.and the views of sunsets are outstanding. The house is very comfortable and has everything you need. A sweet, quiet, friendly lake experience.

Cozy cabin, gorgeous location, super responsive owners

We’ve been to a lot of rentals over the years, and this is definitely one of the best. It’s the perfect size for a family of four and the location is fantastic! The house had the amenities we needed, was very clean, and was super cozy. We went in the winter: superb winter sports options nearby and even some right out your door. We had an issue on the first day that the owners went above and beyond to resolve in a timely manner. Can’t wait to return!

Great rental house

We had a great time at this home on Howard Pond! The house looks like the pictures online and it is set up great for a rental (lots of storage, hooks to hang things, pots/pans in good condition). Our family loved spending time on the pond. The owners were able to arrange two additional kayaks for an extra fee, which was easy and convenient. You could spend all your time here or find adventures nearby (hiking, horseback riding, mini-golf, etc.)
