Heart Pond, Orland Maine

The house was very clean, we really enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the pond. The host even left stuff for the kids to enjoy s’mores around the campfire.

House was very clean and well equipped. We enjoyed the pond and firepit. Host was very responsive when I couldn't get the code correct on the digital lock and gave me an alternative code. A little noisy at times, since it is right off Route 1 traffic. Otherwise, convenient to Ellsworth for restaurants and groceries (15 minutes). I would stay there again.

This was a wonderful choice. Place was stocked with everything we needed and a little more. Beds were wonderful! Very clean. Host was very responsive the one time we needed to contact him. On a very busy highway so getting in and out of the driveway was hard but lovely area.

Beautiful, clean cottage with a great view of Heart Pond. We loved the patio and all the windows while inside overlooking the pond. It was equipped with everything we needed and more. A very comfortable and and cozy home away from home. Grocery store in Bucksport about 5 miles away had everything thing we needed. Great home.base to visit Acadia. Great communicatio with owner. We made wonderful memories and Heart Pond cottage will always have a special place in our hearts.

This house was a dream, the location was perfect, the house was very clean, it had everything we needed! The yard is where we spent all our time when we were there! Rupert was great l, he was so understanding when we asked to extend our trip an extra day do to a family member getting sick on day 1 and our 1st day was tied up with that. We will definitely be coming back in the future!

I usually don’t do reviews. But I have to say, this place was the best VRBO place I have ever stayed in. It was so clean, updated, beautiful view of the lake. Everything you need is available. We even had canoes and kayaks available. The owners have restaurant and area info readily available. If you are looking for a place in the middle of all the shopping and nightlife, this place is not for you. But if you are looking for a place to relax and just enjoy some peace and serenity, this is perfect.

Beautiful Maine cottage! The house has a great location off the Acadia Hwy that is a short drive to Acadia, Ellsworth and Camden. Comfy beds and many thoughtful details including the makings for s’mores over the fire pit! The home was spotless and had everything we needed for a great vacation. A highlight of our trip was the back patio overlooking the pond with a fire pit! We spent every evening enjoying a fire and recounted our adventures of the day. The only downside was some traffic noise but with the great location was not an issue.Our host responded quickly to questions and check in was a breeze. Highly recommend!

This property is just perfect for that Lakeside get-a-way in Maine. The owners have thought about making it easy for the guest from check-in to check-out. The property is spacious and has a fully appointed kitchen and outdoor grill. There is AC and heat. The owners had water and the items to make s'mores for us. The outdoor patio, fire pit, dock and float are the property highlights. They have canoes, kayaks, paddle boards, life jackets, floats, goggles and snorkel gear. As others have said, during the day you can hear the road traffic but that did not matter to us and at night everything quiets down. The location is central for exploring taking about 1 hour to get to Camden, Bar Harbor, Goldsboro and 40 minutes to the Bangor Airport. The owners were accessible had we needed them or had questions. But they have a nice welcome packet with everything you need including local attractions. I give this property and experience a 10 star review.

Lovely , comfortable cottage on a very picturesque pond. Loved our week of hiking, exploring and lake activities!

My husband, daughter and I really enjoyed our stay. Host is easy to communicate with and clearly wants you to enjoy your stay. Property is warm, clean and inviting. Setting is so pretty and peaceful. It is a bit close to the road, so you will hear cars/trucks, but that was not a major issue to us. Lots to do on/near the property, and plenty more if you venture out! Would happily stay again!

Beautiful Maine cottage on a small, crystal-clear pond in Maine. About halfway between Bangor and Bar Harbor (Acadia). Also great access to Deer Isle, Stonington, Blue Hill, and ferry to Isle au Haut (Acadia). Beautiful waterfront with kayaks and canoes, life vests, swim float. The owners beautifully furnished the cottage, and it's clean and well-equipped with absolutely everything you might need, including AC (it was a particularly hot and sticky week). It does back up to Rt. 1, so there is some traffic noise, but it didn't really bother us.The bugs were aggressive, but they backed off after the weather cooled down. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this property. The property was very clean and had everything we needed. Heart pond was beautiful and quiet. The hosts were great, even supplying coffee, waters and information about the area. I would most definitely want to stay here again. Thank you Rupert.

Clean , quiet, relaxing, overall perfect.

Communication was great from making reservations to departing. Property was easy to find right along highway and in evening traffics noise was very quiet. Home set up as described and we had everything needed to feel right at home and cooking. Beautiful setting right on the pond and water was like glass in evenings and mornings. Plenty of room and has wifi that can get a little weak at times but we still continued to do some work and all is good. Would recommend to anyone needing a few days away to enjoy a book or to visit all the nearby attractions.

The property is on an amazing location on the water.The house was well maintained and there was excellent information on where to go for restaurants and different things to do in the area. If we ever come back to Maine this will be a place we stay again.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was beautifully decorated, very clean, and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. It was the perfect location for our exploration of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

Beautiful Peaceful Everything You Need

Glorious place. We enjoyed our stay immensely !!!

Heart’s Pond was an absolute dream as far as a vacation rental. I highly recommend it to all❤️

We enjoyed our stay at this cottage. It was very clean and comfortable. Our host thoughtfully provided bottled water, coffee, condiments, spices, etc. We loved sitting by the lake and having the use of kayaks. kayaks

This property was great! We had a lot of fun on the pond!

This is our family's second visit to the cottage, and it was everything we were looking for in a vacation. The house is located close to Bucksport and Ellsworth with many restaurant, ice cream and grocery shopping options nearby. We spent two days in Bar Harbor, one hiking Acadia, another in the town walking the sand bar to Bar Island at low tide. It's a short 45 minute drive to the park. We love being able to canoe/kayak/swim right out the back door. We like to be able to relax and just spend time together for our vacation, and this cottage lets us do exactly that. The owners have thought of everything, which is why we like coming here so much!
