Wonderful stay!

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at this property. The home is beautiful and clean, and it had everything we needed. Our children especially enjoyed playing in the yard and garden. We all enjoyed the kayaks and the view! Alitha was friendly and easy to communicate with, and had left some special touches upon our arrival. We will definitely stay here again when back in the area.

Incredible!!

We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home overlooking Round Pond Harbor. This charming, inviting and beautifully decorated two story cottage is a gem! The grounds overlooking the harbor are stunning. Every detail has been well thought out inside the home and on the property . We were welcomed with a tasty basket of goodies, fresh flowers and an incredible view. We kayaked every day, made the short drive into Damariscotta for great restaurants and shopping, and made dinner in the house a few nights as well. Walking distance to a cute coffee shop was a must every morning and grabbing icecream in the evening at the local store can’t be missed! The hosts are wonderful, and I can’t say enough great things about this place!

Cozy, Quiet and Relaxing

We had such a wonderful stay in Round Pond! The view of the harbor and the ability to walk to coffee, lobster, art gallery and penny candy is hard to beat. The house was wonderfully cozy, clean and well-appointed especially the small but very functional kitchen and the extremely comfortable beds. It provided a quiet and tranquil respite in these challenging times and we would absolutely return again!

Extended Stay

We booked this as an extension to our vacation since my wife and I can work some days without being in the office. The house worked well for this with the large dining table and good internet service. The house is cozy but functional. The real star is the location and the views!

Other Side of the Harbor

I have been going to a roughly 100 year old summer cottage owned by one of my college fraternity brothers on the northern point of the harbor since 1971. This year due to increasing demands of an increasing family for limited summer weeks they decided not to rent the cottage out. I was delighted to find Alitha's property on Molly's Cove Rd. We rented it for 9 days, from a Friday through the following Sunday which was a welcome change from the usual Saturday to Saturday rentals of most other properties. If you have ever driven Coastal US 1 from the Maine Turnpike to the Damariscotta Peninsula you will appreciate being able to drive through Wiscasset without the normal up to 1 hour delay caused by the Saturday to Saturday renters. The cottage on the point has been maintained to preserve the rustic charm of the turn of last century. Alitha's property was a welcome change, completely remodeled about 3 years ago, while retaining some of the original elements of her grandparents' house. Everything promised on the website was delivered. It was walk-in ready, just unpack luggage and unload the groceries. What a change to have a dishwasher and washer and dryer. No more doing dishes by hand and trips to the Elm Street Laundromat. The kitchen was fully stocked with tools, eating utensils and pots and pans. Even a pot big enough for me to make my traditional 2 gallons of fish, clam, mussel chowder. All linens and towels were provided. It was like checking into a first class motel. We were greeted with a vase of fresh flowers and a basket of candy and two jars of local gourmet preserves. The spacious yard was great for our 2 and a half year old granddaughter to play and also just sit in one of the lawn chairs and read a book. It was a little chilly in mid-September, so we didn't take advantage of the kayaks. Maybe next year if we get back in warmer weather. Alitha and her husband Jim were very welcoming, available to answer any questions, but were very unobtrusive. I wasn't sure what it was going to be like living next door to the landlord, but we hardly knew they were there. The harbor view was fantastic, even though 180 degrees reversed from our normal perspective. Another advantage to the property over the cottage was a shorter walk to King Ro Market in the morning for the paper and Monday evening concert, the wharf for fresh lobster and crab, the Round Pond Shoppe for brass figurines, the Coffee Shop for lunch and Granite Hall for penny candy, etc.

Great place with a beautiful view

We could not have asked for a better experience for our group of four. The house is lovely, we enjoyed the water views from almost every room in the house and being able to start a fire and sip wine on the adirondack chairs overlooking the harbor was the perfect way to end our evenings. The host was very responsive and attentive to our needs and the location was perfect for exploring the peninsula. We'll definitely be back!

Scenic and historic!

We loved our stay! We were two couples and the bedrooms were fairly equal. The old house was beautiful and very cool. The property and landscaping is unbelievable, with a large yard and peninsula going out into the pond. We went in late October and while the leaves were beautiful, some of the nearby restaurants were closed for the season. But we went to Damariscotta, which is a cool little town with shopping and restaurants. Acadia was about 2.5 hours away and worth the trip.

Fall retreat

Perfect place to enjoy the beauty and solitude of Round Pond as fall arrives. All the amenities you need and want, from the views out the bedroom window to kayaks for exploring the harbor to a well-equipped kitchen, comfy couch with more views, a waterside bench for morning coffee as the day begins to warm up. And extremely responsive property manager.

This is a gorgeous house on an absolutely stunning harbor. The house is comfortable, light, very clean and well-appointed. There are kayaks for paddling around the harbor. Alitha is incredibly friendly and helpful with local recommendations. The garden is perfect: with a large lawn. pretty flower beds and a spot to sit and look over the water. We can’t wait to return!

Beautiful Harbor

The townhouse was as described and pictured and a little bit more. It is like the hostess has spent a week here and supplied it with anything you could ever need. From q-tips to an ice chest to fresh flowers. etc.! We enjoyed walking over to the pier for lobster feasts and the skillet scallops. You can also get lobster right there at the co-op. Checking out the little shops in the village is fun. When you drag yourselves away to explore a little more of Maine it is a quick trip up the peninsula to Damriscotta and beyond or down the peninsula to the point. But what we most enjoyed most was sitting out on the lawn and looking out to the harbor.

A great stay.

This is a wonderfully redone house. Both outside and inside are nicely kept and appointed. Plenty of choice on which vantage point you'd choose to observe a quaint working harbor and village. The provided literature gave plenty of ideas of where to eat, and what to visit in the area. However, just sitting and observing the landscape provided plenty of enjoyment.

Besides enjoying the gorgeous view the highlight is being able to walk to get ice cream and enjoy the small shops and coffee spot in Round Pond!

About the host

Hosted by Alitha Young

Host profile image
This property has been in my family for over 70 years since my grandparents purchased it in 1944. I spent all of my summers growing up here, so it's a very special place for me.

In 2014, my husband and I had the opportunity to purchase the property from my aunt and we were very excited. The house was in need of extensive repairs and updates so we took on a renovation that covered well over a year, repairing or replacing everything from the roof to the plumbing, electrical and heating systems. We added a brand new kitchen, many new bathrooms, new decks, patio and landscaping, and expanded the house's footprint to include a new kitchen and dining area for the Townhouse rental unit. It was a lot of hard work but we are extremely happy with the beautiful results!

Why they chose this property

Not only is this property special to me personally because of my family history with the property, but it is such a unique and beautiful place to everyone who comes here. The gorgeous farmhouse on a spectacular piece of harbor front property is truly breathtaking. I feel lucky every day when I wake up and look out at the incredible sparkling water!

What makes this property unique

Sitting out on the bench at the point and watching the boats come in and out of the harbor is one of my favorite things. The light on the water is always so brilliant and always changing. Getting on the water with the kayaks and exploring the harbor, coves and inlets up close is one of my other favorite things to do.
