Privacy on the Schoodic Peninsula, & close enough to enjoy Acadia National Park

The best of both worlds! Planning on visiting Acadia National Park & looking for peace & quiet at the end of your day? Pond's Edge Camp completed renovations & expansion of our original 45 year old cabin in 2021 & are offering it for rent for the first time. Our chef's kitchen, spacious bathroom with shower, plus a custom designed outdoor shower are just a few of the many amenities we provide to our guests.

The original structure was built by a local craftsman who used handmade wooden pegs instead of nails or screws & no design plan other than the one in his head, when building the cabin.

Swimming & kayaking in the clear waters of Flanders Pond, with hands down the best view of Schoodic Mountain is one of the treats that can’t be adequately explained until you enjoy it yourself. Enjoy our natural granite fire pit while toasting your marshmallows.

Our rare, large one acre lakefront property offers all of the privacy you might require after navigating the crowds of Acadia National Park. Try & visit Schoodic Point & Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge as well.

If you are interested in hiking less crowded trails, we are surrounded by almost 14,000 acres of protected lands & are minutes from the Sunrise Trail, Donnell Pond Public Reserve Lands, Schoodic & Black Mountain trails which offer stunning views of Mount Desert Island & Cadillac Mountain, Frenchmen Bay Conservancy trails, & much more! If you hike Schoodic Mountain, it offers amazing views of Flanders Pond & you can try & spot camp from up top!

Watch loons cavort & listen to their haunting calls. Bald eagles are frequent visitors. Stargazing is absolutely stunning.

We are not able to offer WiFi at this time, but most visitors can access the internet via their cell phones. We have a TV with built in DVD player & sound bar, along with a great library of movies & books for your enjoyment. We also have a great selection of board games!

Our well water has high iron content, so we provide a 5 gallon water dispenser. Minimum 5 night rental.

Eloped at Ponds Edge

We booked a week at Ponds Edge over the 4th of July for our elopement. We couldnt have wished for a more perfect week. From the location, the home, the pond, the view, the weather, Nicole (the homeowner), the local businesses, the neighbors, everything was absolute perfection. You wake up and at the foot of your bed is the private entrance to the pond without a neighbor in sight. Turn to the right and your facing a gorgeous unobstructed view of a mountain. The home comes with everything you could need and Nicole had great local recommendations. We celebrated our elopement right on the dock. Our photographer couldnt stop commenting on what a perfect spot it was. Nicole recommended Schoodic in Bloom for my flowers and I am so happy she did! Pam truly outdid herself with my florals. We took the short drive to Schoodic for photos at The Point. Throughout our vacation we visited Schoodic, Acadia & all of MDI, Ellsworth, and many more local towns. We rented a canoe fom Waters Edge Canoe Rentals (great business out of Franklin) and took it out to watch the fireworks. It felt like our own private show on the water! We made fires, had smores, chartered a sailboat, climbed a mountain...it was the most perfect & special vacation of our lives. We cant wait to come back and celebrate for years to come!

Breathtaking Views

The best place on earth. Hidden away on the shore of Flanders Pond we had the spectacular view of the ever changing pond and the utter peace and quiet of nature all around us. We bird watched,enjoy watching the chipmunks and squirrels and looked forward to a pair of beavers who returned to their den each day at dusk. The house was perfect and impeccably furnished and decorated. Heaven on earth

Second year in a row and it was just as peaceful and beautiful as last. From the Loons to the bald Eagles, to the nightly fires. This place is a great way to shutoff all the craziness going on in the world. Our host Nicole was extremely responsive, and a great host! 5 Stars!

So peaceful!

This was the perfect place for a much needed relaxing getaway! The views were spectacular and the grounds felt secluded. We loved everything about it. We brought our standup paddle boards, but it was great to have the kayaks as an option if we wanted them. The pond was extremely quiet all week and it basically felt like we had the entire thing to ourselves. We had enough cell service to answer a few emails here and there, but not enough to actually work which allowed us to really shut down for the week. Incredible stay - thanks Nicole!

Summer vacation

The property is peaceful and well maintained. Beautiful home. The only drawback for us was very spotty WiFi reception in case of emergency or if you wanted to listen to a podcast etc or book it was a bit difficult. It would be nice to have a Roku streaming service for rainy days (we had a few) just to maybe watch TV. Otherwise it is a fantastic location. Close to schoodic peninsula and lovely winter harbor. Not far from Bar Harbor either. Owners very responsive and helpful! Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful get away.

Felt like home

My wife and I can’t say enough good things about this property. The setup of the cabin and surrounding property was so thoughtful, and it was obvious Nicole puts a lot love, care, and attention to detail into it, ensuring her guests are comfortable and well-taken care of. It was so nice in fact, that we didn’t feel the need to leave the area much and even bypassed our original plan to go to Bar Harbor, and instead stayed on the “quiet side” of Acadia, and hit the Schoodic trails. We also recommend climbing Schoodic Mountain - you can’t see it directly across the pond from the cabin. Thanks for everything, Nicole. It was a perfect and very special place to spend our honeymoon.

Maine beauty without the crowds!

Ponds edge is everything and then some. The pictures do not do the camp or the setting justice. Everything you need to stay in the entire time and relax at the lake yet close enough to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor without the crowd. The Hostess was phenomenal at communication and making local recommendations yet thoughtful about giving you your space. Can't wait to go back to Pond's Edge!

Perfectly peaceful setting!

What a wonderful spot of peace and tranquility! The cabin has absolutely everything we needed and the owners were fantastic to work with. We ate lobster on the deck that we grabbed from a local spot, grilled, paddled around the lake, saw soooo many stars and were still close enough to spend time in Acadia, Schoodic and in Bar Harbor! This place can’t be beat and really one of the loveliest places we’ve stayed at!

If your looking for peace and tranquility this is it! This is a little slice of heaven set up in down east Maine! If you’re into cooking great food, camp fires, fishing (although I swear there are no fish…or maybe my skills need practice lol) and going for a dip in the clean clear water, then this place is for you! Nicole was absolutely fantastic and extremely responsive throughout our stay. We even extended our stay another 5 days because we loved it! Absolutely peaceful!!

Stunning view

The location is just drop dead gorgeous. Unlike some VRBO photos of a property the photos of this property do not do it justice. As previously stated in past reviews the well water does have high iron content but it is a minor inconvenience. One suggestion we would have is it would have been nice if the TV was a smart TV so you could mirror your streaming services from your phone to the tv making live tv available of an evening. Cell phone service is spotty but acceptable with Verizon. Overall, we highly recommend this cabin and would love to come back in the future.

Honeymoon getaway!

We spent a lovely week at Ponds Edge! The cabin itself was recently renovated and was beautiful inside. The kitchen is top notch and had everything we could imagine needing. The furniture and decor were cozy and comfortable. Nicole provided movies and games to play at night. We used both the inside and outside shower, I personally liked the outside the best as there is just something about being in nature! We lucked out and had amazing weather which allowed us to enjoy the cabin to its fullest extent! We took advantage of the kayaks provided and spent almost every afternoon on the pond. The hubby fished while I mostly took in the sites. We saw a bald eagle, and loons. We started and ended our day on the dock enjoying the view with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We spent our days exploring- Nicole sent us plenty of local recommendations to try- Tidal Falls is right around the corner and was a great place to catch the tide going out and see some star fish, the Honey Bee Cafe had great coffee and breakfast, Ruth and Wimpy’s was a fun local dinner spot! All recommendations were amazing. We were close to Acadia and caught the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain and hiked some trails and explored the park by driving from point to point. We walked Bar Harbor and took a sail boat tour. Overall- we had an amazing stay and are already planning our next return! Ponds Edge had everything we would want and more! If you’re debating, JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it!

Tranquility found!

We had a wonderful stay at Ponds Edge! It is the such a beautiful and tranquil place. Ponds Edge takes "cozy cabin" to a new level! We loved the decor and overall feeling of "comfy-ness." We loved having our meals on the porch and enjoyed our kayaking day on the beautiful lake. The only reason for the 4 rating was the water issue, which the owner was very upfront about. Plenty of water is provided for drinking and cooking. If not for that, which took some getting used to, we would have given 10 stars! Also, the owner was very easy to reach to answer any questions. It really is such a special place!

Relaxing and Peaceful

If peace and quite is what you are looking for, then this is the place for you! From sitting outside in the morning and enjoy your coffee, to having a drink in the evening and watching the fog creep in, the scenery is beautiful. The dock is sturdy and great to sit at and read. FULLY equipped kitchen, major plus. The owner is helpful and timely with responses. Only negative is the water. It does have an odor and turns orange after sitting for a while. The owner does inform you of this in the welcome packet, however; I did not expect the extent of it. It is do-able though. They also provide fresh spring water for cooking and drinking. Overall most beautiful cabin we have stayed in.

Clean, comfortable cottage on a quiet pond

This is the perfect combination of a quiet cottage that's off the beaten path, but updated with top-notch ammentities. We enjoyed the spacious property and the provided kayaks. The outdoor shower is much more spacious than the indoor one, but its use is weather-dependent (it was a bit chilly the week we stayed!). The location is just on the edge of cellular phone service so it was a bit spotty. The owners have done a fabulous job updating and maintaining this property.

This is such a lovely place - both away from it all and close enough to everything we love to do here. It’s well-equipped and comfortable and you wake up to a view that is just beautiful. The only complaint we had was the very strong smelling water. We were provided plenty of fresh water, but I still struggled with the smell when showering, etc. When the weather permits, the outdoor shower is much more spacious than the indoor option. Our host was both thoughtful and communicative. Overall, we loved our visit to Pond’s Edge and would happily stay here again!

Wonderful cabin on a lake

We loved this property - recently restored/remodeled with a beautiful, well equipped kitchen, comfortable bedroom and living room. The deck over looking the lake for morning coffee or evening cocktail -magical. The fire pit in the evening - magical. We had perfect weather so morning and evening kayak paddles - magical. As I told Nicole we were a bit miffed because the main purpose of the trip was to check out Acadia NP but we didn't want to leave the property. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, a truly special place. As mentioned in the listing there is an odor to the well water which is a bit off putting at first but you get used to it. There is a 5 gallon cooler with lots of extra jugs so plenty of water for drinking. Showering wasn't an issue for me - it was for my wife but I didn't mind it - especially using the outdoor shower which has more room anyway. It's definitely not a deal killer - this place is special!!! Definitely get your groceries in Ellsworth before heading to the property and I wouldn't recommend driving to the property in the dark for the first time - its a bit remote and dark so might be tough to navigate at night the first time - trust your phone gps and it'll take you right to the doorstep.
