Sunrise Point on Molasses Pond — 3 Private Acres, 300’ Shoreline, Total “Unplugged” Maine.

Eastbrook, Maine | Molasses Pond

Tucked quietly into the woods on the edge of beautiful Molasses Pond, Sunrise Point is the kind of place you book when you want your own stretch of waterfront—no crowds, no neighbors wandering through, no noise—just three private acres, 300 feet of secluded shoreline, and a dock that faces due east for unforgettable sunrises.

The property is ideally suited for groups of 20 or fewer; you may set up, up to five tents (with one dedicated 10' x 20' tent platform), and small off-grid RV/vans under 23' are welcome, but we cannot accommodate large drive-in RVs or tow-behinds.

Our setup is true outdoor living: with a glamorous “glam-latrine” outhouse, plus an open-air shower and sink supplied with pond water and warmed by solar-heated hot water—pure nature, elevated.

Spend your days swimming off the float, kayaking the calm coves, fishing for salmon and trout, or doing absolutely nothing in a camp chair with coffee and a view. At night, gather around the fire circle under a sky full of stars and remember what it feels like to truly slow down.

At a glance:
Waterfront setup: dock + swim float + tiki bar + fire circle + picnic tables
Camping-friendly: multiple tent / RV sites with paths throughout the property
Privacy: 3 acres with 300’ shore frontage—exclusive use during your stay
Pond fun: swimming, boating, kayaking, fishing, lounging (Jet skis permitted on Molasses Pond)

The waterfront experience

Our shoreline is a classic Maine mix—rocky edges with gravel and sandy spots that make wading in easy. You’ll want water shoes or sandals, and you’ll be glad you brought them.

Molasses Pond is a 1,252-acre recreational pond (max depth 47’) known for salmon, brown trout, white perch, and bass. Whether you’re here to cast a line at sunrise or cruise the pond in the afternoon, this is a place where “one more hour outside” turns into the whole day.

We often see eagles overhead, fish cruising by the dock, and in July/August you’ll find wild blueberries lining the shoreline. Every so often, a moose makes a quiet appearance—rare, but unforgettable.

Self Check-in: 4:00 PM
Check-out: 11:00 AM

No WiFi / limited cell service.
This is an intentionally unplugged stay—bring books, games, and good conversation. (we can usually get 2 bars on our phones on the dock, so you're not totally cut off).

Bug spray is a must. (Also: avoid strongly floral-scented products—they can attract flying friends.)

We do not provide extra disposable products. Bring what you like for paper goods, trash bags, etc.

Kayaks + inflatable SUP are available (use life jackets; follow local rules; good judgment required).

Waterfront use is at your own risk. No lifeguard on duty; children must be supervised at all times.

    Property is in bad condition. Sheets were not washed. We found other people’s hair and nails In the beds. Carpets were filthy. Deck was In a hazardous shape. We were excited to grill then I quickly realized that the grill was falling apart and had tons of water sitting in it. No clean water at the property.

    Overall a great experience. Only problem is the single bathroom. For guests numbering 10 they could do at least an extra half a bathroom.

    Absolutely amazing it was very quiet and the view of the pond was great . The sun sets and the moon rising up from behind the mountain was just breath taking.

    We truly enjoyed our stay and the property was an excellent get away for the two of us. There was tons of room to spare and we will definitely make a return trip with the extended family. The property was accurately described and everything you could ever need was included on the property. The lawn is incredibly large with frisbee golf and plenty of space for our family dog to run and enjoy the landscape. Molasses pond was incredible with stunning views throughout the day but especially at sunrise and sunset. Holly was very responsive and a great host! We will definitely be back!

    Our stay was relaxing and enjoyable. The pond was clear, clean and warm. We all loved using the paddle boards. I wish I would have brought my water shoes to get into the water though. The house was set back far but that was expected. It was clean and homey. I would absolutely come back to this property for more pond time!

    My Family had a wonderful week staying @ this home on our vacation this summer. It was so easy for check in and check out process. The house was clean and has a wonderful lawn for spreading out and game time. We loved the trail to the lake, and we had Kayaks to use, and the Pond is just breath taking. Very private. Our family would stay @ this property again. I would recommend this for any family.

    We were excited to stay at our lake side vacation rental, with so many amenities it would be a blast. However what was advertised and what we found when we got there were two different things. So we have listed the Pros and Cons so other vacationers know what to expect. Pros: Pot and pans in good shape;Dishes & glasses clean & plentiful;Nice location;Molasses Pond beautiful;Plenty of Parking;Corn Hole was nice;Tiki area nice;Beds very well made;Wifi & wifi calling/texting worked good;Nice magnetic closing screen on back door;Cozy feel to the house; At first Host was responsive with issues giving ETAs for resolutions Cons: No hot water in shower (new faucet in drawer, not installed;No smoke detectors (new ones still in package on table and in drawer);No land line;No power in bathroom outlet;No hairdryer;Issues with electrical outlets;Couldn't stream Netflix;DW door can't open all the way and smells;Refrigerator drawers broken, but stays cold!;Ceiling fan upstairs doesn't work and it's hot;Deck has loose & rotted boards covered with rugs;Old trashed pool under deck filled with stagnant water;No croquet, most outdoor games unusable;No canoe;single kayaks not steerable due to missing fins; Host never carried through with fixing issues with landline, fan, smoke detectors, streaming and no hot water, however did offer compensation, that's why this is a 3 star review. Even with the issues we managed to have a nice time with family. We will laugh about this in the future!

    If you’re looking for a remote getaway with lots of land and lake views this is it! Nice house, well manicured. We loved walking the dogs down the trail to the lake and/or lounging in the greens near the house. It is super-remote. There is Wi-Fi but it’s spotty so I wouldn’t advise conducting business if possible. This is where you want to go to get away from it all and have privacy with a view. Thank you for the stay!

    This place was so wonderful. The waterfront was beautiful, so many activities to keep the whole family occupied, from grandpa to kids. The house was perfect for cooking and relaxing in evening. Would highly recommend this place!

    Stayed here with my two kids and my mom. The house was the perfect size for us to spread out but had a great indoor and outdoor space for us to spend time together. The lake was our favorite spot, every day we went swimming and kayaking. We did experience an issue with the internet (at no fault of the owner and they worked with us on resolving the issue) but we utilized the board games and DVDs in the evenings to help pass the time. I would highly recommend this rental to those that are looking for a true getaway. Thank you Holly and family for opening your home for us to enjoy!
