Chemo Pond Cabin is off the beaten path. We enjoyed the fall colors and waking up to a beautiful view of the lake. The cabin was clean and our contact, Heather responded quickly to all of our questions. We would definitely book again.
This cabin was absolutely beautiful inside and outside ! Just prefect and the weather was just as perfect and beautiful! We canoe around the whole pond and did some barbecuing and sitting on the deck and by the water. So peaceful and listening to the loons was a nice touch . Definitely would come back again.
Lovely, clean, charming getaway. So peaceful and relaxing!

Wonderful stay at a cute camp in Maine!
This is our second year renting this camp in Eddington and we LOVE it! The camp is very clean and has everything you need to stay and enjoy your time. The view of Chemo Pond is spectacular and the fishing is fantastic. We caught so many bass! The camp is close enough to town to restock on supplies, but also in a quite location. The pond itself is a little icky as far as swimming goes but otherwise we wouldn't want to change a thing.
We loved this property! Clean, beautiful lakefront, great outside areas, great views. It was exactly what we were looking for to experience Maine Camp life! If we ever get back to Maine we would want to stay here again.
After a long road trip from Iowa, our family was so excited when we arrived at the cabin. The property is just as described and so clean! We spent everyday exploring Acadia, but when we were at the cabin we had everything we needed. Our boys (ages 6,9,11) thought the loft was awesome and enjoyed kayaking, swimming, fishing and making s’mores around the campfire. I enjoyed sneaking outside with a cup of coffee in the morning while my husband headed to the dock with his fishing pole before the kids woke up. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay. This is truly a little piece of heaven.
Everything you need and more! The house is very clean, has beach towels all the kitchen items you need, we used the grill for cooking. The canoe and kayak were an extra bonus.
We could not have been happier with the location and accommodations. The house itself was spotless and had all the amenities we could have wanted. The dock and small beach provided my little ones the perfect and safe spot to enjoy endless hours of fun on the lake. The neighbors were extremely kind and welcoming as well!
We were so amazed at the cleanliness of the cabin and the beautiful location on Chemo Pond. The cabin was well stocked with linens and paper products. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our meals. We were close to both Bar Harbor and Bangor and spent a few days sightseeing. We bought live lobsters in Bangor and caught some fish in the pond so we made a seafood feast at the cabin. One day we just sat at the side of the pond, dipped our feet in the water, and enjoyed the scenery for hours. Sunrises were spectacular. We met some of the neighbors and they were incredibly welcoming and hospitable. Overall a very wonderful stay, we will back!
We had a wedding to attend just down the road. We decided to make it a mini vacation and this place did not disappoint. Relaxing evening by a fire, paddling around seeing the sights and soaking in the sun during the day. Only wish a complete listing of amenities was provided instead of minimal bullet points.
Perfect location and amenities for grandparents and two tween boys. The sunrise is beautiful, fishing and kayaking is a safe place for two boys learning to become independent. Great place for grandparents to enjoy coffee by a morning fire. Everything we needed was available. Ideal for all ages.
Really enjoyed our short vacation here. The home was immaculate with impressive views of the lake. There was kayaking, canoes and fire pit and corn hoke for the whole family to enjoy. Hikes around the area and the place was just amazing. My only upset was we needed to shorted our stay by two days due to school starting earlier and I couldn’t get a refund for the two days, I even asked if we could possibly go back and have those two days over the weekend as the days were free. So we lost money and a few days vacation. But the place was amazing I would highly recommend

Wonderful lakefront cottage to stay in
The Cozy Cottage was a great place to stay, and I am so grateful that we booked it. Check-in was seamless, we were able to get settled, connect to the wi-fi and make ourselves at home. The owners provided plenty of cookware and utensils, a Keurig with K-Cups, as well as a gas grill and a fire pit. We loved being able to use the life jackets and water craft that were provided for use, and went canoeing and kayaking out on the pond. The heat pump was great and helped keep it a comfortable temperature, day or night. This cottage was centrally located and served as a good basecamp for our adventures in both Bangor area and Bar Harbor. This cottage was the best place we stayed at during our trip, and I hope to stay here again in the future!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
The house has a cozy cabin feel. Towels (bath and beach!), life vests, canoes, trash bags and other basic kitchen supplies were there! Everything was clean and comfortable. The dock wasn’t out but it was still early in the season. Nice small beach (would still recommend water shoes) and fun fishing! Quiet pond with lots of wildlife. Dollar General in one direction if you need anything, and a gas station/pizza/ice cream pls e in the other direction for all other supplies. Only 45 minutes from Acadia National Park!
The setting was perfect as we had a place like it in Lincoln in years past. The kitchen had everything including some spices that made meal prep easy and grilling/eating on the deck made for a great summer night. Swimming, the float, kayaking, canoeing in the pond was great for cooling off and hanging out on the warmer days. Corn hole, inside games and puzzles gave us things to do as a family. A bonus was being able to watch the Celtics take the WIN! Thank you for letting us remember times from the past while making memories! The Oliver's
Place was very clean, well stocked with essentials, and the view of the sunrise was incredible. Would definitely stay here again.
Two things to note:
For Remote workers: Internet is Starlink. If you are planning on taking any Zoom meetings you won't be able to. The connection works fine to stream a movie or check email but if you use a VPN for work no dice. Ideally for a place like this you won't need internet but I work remote and had no choice.
Google maps: As you approach the final turn on Chemo Road to get to the property Google Maps will tell you to go right. The property is on the left.
Just look for Forestry Rd and take that left. Cottage is first right on the road. Street and property are clearly marked with green road signs

Thank you for your review, Matthew and we are glad to know that you've enjoyed your stay with us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience regarding the internet connection of the home and we have this forwarded to our local operations manager to avoid future complaints. We hope to host you for another truly carefree and great vacation in the future.
This property was so beautiful and clean. I was half expecting it to be a little..dog friendly in appearance and in..aroma. I could not have been more wrong. We appreciated that didn't smell like ANYthing! (Sometimes people use gross glade plug-ins or dryer sheets..this place was clean. Naturally clean.) Many towels, blankets, pillows, beds, all the kitchen stuff you could ever need or want. The grill was beautiful and super clean. You truly need to bring nothing but your bathing suit and food!
In this intense July humidity, we had great appreciation for the air conditioner when we were not out on the GORGEOUS lake! If you like to fish, you'll love it here. Bass, loons, beautiful sunrises and sunsets. This place was a great break. We didn't want to leave, and hope to return!
(Just as a heads up, if taxidermy is bothersome to you, this may not be the right place for you or your dog.It didn't bother us at all, but thought it was worth a mention.)
Thank you so much for sharing your space, Cozy Cottage keepers! We had a lovely time.

Wonderful location on a beautiful lake. The property was one of the few that was full of mature growth trees instead of being clear-cut for building. A big plus in our book! Many large birch trees which is a rarity. Quiet, so quiet! No sounds but the left over storm water pouring though a nearby brook and the birds of the lake in thee early morn. The few clear nights we had were full of stars! The cabin is unassuming from the outside, but plenty of space and attractive on the inside. Clean and beds were very comfortable.
Minor negatives, or space for improvement... Save for the one recliner, seating was quite uncomfortable inside. For the unititiated, the Amazon Fire TV can be quite confusing to navigate.
Our only big gripe was the bathroom. Getting a quality shave at the sink was impossible. The mirror is old and has a cloudiness that can't be cleaned off and the lighting comes from behind the head. Unless you're very pettite, you'll find the shower stall like being in an MRI tube! Hard to manuever. A good work around would be a trip to Dysarts for their coin operated shower and a breakfast to write home about!!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Todd. We are happy to hear you enjoyed the location, though we apologize for the issues that prevented you from fully enjoying your stay. We wish that you had alerted us to the issues with the stove and grill while in the home so that we could rectify the situation as we worked to fix the issues to which you had alerted us. We take guest feedback seriously and have forwarded all your concerns to the local operations manager so that we can take the appropriate steps toward a resolution. We will continue to work with both our local operations manager and the homeowner to make improvements to this home, and we hope you will give us a second chance to impress you.
Enjoyed our two days in the Cozy Cottage. Extra charges and spotty communication by Vacasa not ideal, but it’s a nice little house furnished with most things you’d need.
There is a trailer campground nearby and we heard partying and a band the second night, but it wasn’t so loud to prevent sleeping. When the partying wasn’t on, we heard loons and other birds, and it’s great the rental includes tubes and kayaks for a paddle on the lake when boats and jet skis aren’t whizzing by.
The house is dog friendly, but felt and smelled clean. Would be a great property for a water loving dog.
We’d stay again, but probably not on a holiday weekend.
