The Pond House At The Farm

Loved the charm, seclusion, and historic beauty!

Christine was absolutely lovely and you can tell a lot of care is given to the space. Unfortunately it is the time of year for bugs and spiders to come inside so we had to clean up a bit during our stay, but that didn’t take away from our wonderful experience.

Beautiful and quaint old farmhouse near Schoodic part of Acadia National Park. Rustic elements preserved with modern updates to bathrooms and kitchen. Lovely covered porch/sun room. Plenty of comfortable places to lounge. Gorgeous, peaceful grounds, has fairy tale feel. Very responsive property manager. Sweet welcome basket upon arrival. Best suited to physically able folks due to various floor levels and steep stairs. Bed/mattress comfort could use improvement. Overall, we loved our stay here! Bonus: farm stand on property sells most amazing fresh blueberry pie - we are still dreaming of it!

Our stay at the Pond House was wonderful and we were sad to go. The home is welcoming and there are multiple hang out zones. We prepared dinner twice and found everything we needed. Christine’s list of recommendations was helpful and every place we went to from the list was lovely. Christine was prompt and helpful. Highly recommend!!

This place was great. Comfortable and convenient, well-maintained, and close to Acadia National Park...especially the Schoodic Peninsula, which is the less crowded, and possibly even more beautiful, part of the park.Booking was very easy, and Christine was very responsive to our questions and requests...her assistant even made a special tip over with some extra trash bags for us when we ran out. And Christine's suggestions for restaurants, sites to see, services etc were very good. We are already planning on a return trip!

Pond House is in a very relaxing, rural setting that is well within travel distance to wine and cider tasting, shopping/whale watches/events in Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, Schoodic Point, and Winter Harbor. The house comes with some older house quirks but provides a cozy place to gather and relax.

The Schoodic Peninsula is lovely to explore in the fall. Great hiking and biking in Acadia. Remarkably great restaurants. The farmhouse is cozy and the grounds are both beautiful and beautifully maintained. On a quiet road. The stars and aurora were an extra gift.

The house was extremely comfortable and tastefully decorated. We loved the screened in porch and the outdoor deck overlooking the pond. Our one minor complaint was that the kitchen equipment seemed a little sparse. I had trouble finding a baking pan and ended up using a cast iron skillet. A blender which was included in the description was missing and a replacement had not yet arrived. But overall, we enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back.

Nice modern bathrooms & kitchen in a cute farmhouse kind of property. The screened in porch overlooking the pond is awesome for morning coffee. Nice big dining table for lobster feasts or playing games of which there was a nice selection. I loved the meditation circle & gazebo styled seating area outside & plentiful couches inside. Would absolutely stay here again!

First of all, I must heartily commend the property manager, Christine and the handyman Heath. Their responsiveness, kindness, and knowledge of the rental and the area was amazing! We arrived very late (actually early morning at 2:00 AM due to traffic on drive from NC) and a bag of coffee and pecan pie were waiting for us on arrival. Very welcome, as we did not have a chance to shop for staples due to late arrival. Re: some comments about the isolation - yes, this is a REMOTE area, about 45 min from Bar Harbor, and very close to a more traditional Maine fishing village, Winter Harbor. THIS is what I wanted my Maine experience to be, and I got it. It is VERY close to the Schoodic penninsula part of Acadia, also what I wanted. I preferred this side of the park to the more populated main side. The property is old, but meticulously maintained, and definitely gives off a vintage ambiance. If this is not what you want, DO NOT BOOK HERE!! However, I did not understand that the house as pictured is not the entire rental - the small part to the left of the photo is a separate rental. And there is only one shower; the upstairs bathroom has a tub, not a shower. The pond was wonderful; I spent a lot of time sipping coffee and watching a very industrious beaver moving through the pond. There are even horses in the adjacent paddock that visit every morning! Overall, an amazing Maine experience, thank you for letting us use the property!

This house was gorgeous and perfect for 4 adults. The pond in the backyard was beautiful & had adorable muskrat swimming in it. I loved watching them! There is a pasture beyond the pond that had beautiful horses in it. The home was built in the 1800s and is beautifully maintained with modern features as well. The kitchen is beautiful and fully stocked with everything you could need. The screened in porch was great as was the firepit area. There is plenty of seating in the cozy living room. The beds were very comfortable. The hostess was instantly available with all my questions during our stay. It reached the high 90s during our stay and the hostess immediately had a window a/c unit installed in one of the bedrooms. We had the entire property to ourselves but I believe there are other rentals on the same property (2 beautiful homes and a small unit within the home we rented.) If renting in the future, I'd want to know whether or not there would be others staying on the property as well.
