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

This place is incredible! Quiet. Picture perfect. Great location. Every picture we took looks like a post card. This was our honeymoon and we couldn't have asked for a better trip.

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!

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!

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!

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.

Beautiful location right on Flanders Pond. Great for kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing and boating. Property is as pictured and looks out over the pond to Schoodic Mountain. Quiet and relaxing, but the hiking, exploring and great restaurants nearby.

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.

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!

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!
