Embden, Maine
Enjoy our charming log home hide-away on the shore of pristine Sandy Pond. Tranquility awaits you on this secluded 107 acre pond in the Central Maine Highlands. Our home is complete with 3 bedrooms, two bathrooms and plenty of space to relax with family and friends. Sandy Pond is a hidden gem, one mile by 3/4 miles in area, it is stocked annually with brown trout by the State of Maine and also boasts many other species for your fishing adventures. Sandy Pond has a 10 horse restriction on boat motors making it peaceful even in the height of the summer season. We provide 3 kayaks for your paddling adventures around the lake. Enjoy your morning coffee on our private dock or spacious deck with spectacular sunrise views accompanied by the cry of our nesting loons.
Swimming is safe and enjoyable for all ages as the water warms up nicely in the summer. We have 133’ of private waterfront and the shore is located 130' from the house.
In the evenings enjoy conversation by a campfire in the fire pit. Or listen to your favorite tunes at our private bar.
Culinary enthusiasts will love our professional series appliances in our well appointed kitchen. Grill masters will enjoy our 4 burner Weber Summit grill with views of the pond.

Loved the cabin. We couldn’t get enough of the view of the lakes each morning and waking to hear loons.
Just two points we would like to make. Originally, our party was to have three individuals. One cancelled several weeks before. Had we had all three, using one shower would have been challenging. Also, when you charge for linens, the guests should not be responsible for washing them, as we were instructed to do. Also, there was no laundry detergent, so we had to go purchase some.
This is a wonderful place - the cabin is well-designed, comfortable and has everything you need for a great stay (including homemade pancake mix and Maine maple syrup!) Sandy Pond is quiet and peaceful, from sunsets to kayaking, with firepit and BBQ added bonuses. The pontoon paddle boat is useful and fun -- makes a great platform to swim from and also to explore the lake for those who don't wish to kayak. Great trail hiking nearby, including waterfalls, mountains, and rails-to-trails paths. Joanna was really helpful in managing questions and answering any and all questions. Couldn't have been any better!
It was an escape from life’s requirements!
We had such a wonderful time at the Hideaway! My husband, 2 children, sister, nephew and mother all fit comfortably and had so much fun. The place was immaculate felt like home. Despite the rainy start to our week, we spent each day paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and made lots of use of the pontoon paddle boat. We even had a visit from the giant turtle that lives in the pond— she was truly amazing to see! Joanna was very responsive and we had no complaints at all. We hope to be back be back again!
Our time away was quiet clean and serene I would recommend this place ?
The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The view is breathtaking. We saw a loon every morning and had a bald eagle land in he tree in the yard. Check in and out was very easy and Johanna responded right away. We would love to go back!
This was the perfect house for a long weekend to celebrate the end of Summer! The house had everything we needed and plenty of space for our group of friends. The yard and access to the lake was phenomenal. We absolutely loved staying at this house and had a fantastic time!
My family and our two dogs had a great week at Hideaway. The home is appointed with every comfort and we enjoyed our time immensely.
Our family and family friends had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The cabin was beautiful and clean, the personal touches were just a bonus! Joanna allowed us to check in early because there wasn’t a prior day’s guest and that was hugely appreciated after a long drive with small children. Thank you!!
We had an absolutely amazing time here! We brought our dogs and kids and spent the weekend kayaking, fishing, and playing some board games during the rain. The house was everything we wanted and more. The kids asked if we could just stay forever. This is a perfect place for a family trip, very quiet and relaxing to get away from reality for a little while. We will absolutely be coming back!
This home was clean warm and cozy. Our family had a wonderful time reconnecting and enjoyed fishing chatting on the deck and dock, kayaking and roasting marshmallows around the campfire. Thankyou Joanna for making our stay a peaceful and restful stay.
Outstanding
Joanna was extremely responsive and the property was well maintained. My family had a wonderful time and wish it was a bit warmer to take a swim in the pond! Great place to stay!
