About this property
Lake Side Guest Suite
Cozy two bedroom apartment attached to our home on Hermon Pond in Hermon Maine. We are 5 minutes from the interstate, 20 minutes from Bangor international airport and about an hour from Acadia National Park. With our long private driveway and pond in the backyard it could be the middle of nowhere.
The apartment was recently remodeled and has a very cozy camp feel with wide yellow pine walls, hidden doors and a great view of the lake. The space Recently remodeled two bedroom in-law suite. Including Master Bedroom (Queen bed) Second bedroom (Queen Bed) Living space with a smart TV & a pullout couch that sleeps two. Kitchenette (small fridge, convection oven & microwave) Full bathroom (stand up shower)
Quaint living space with a camp feel courtesy of large pine walls, hidden doors and a great view of the lake.
Space is separated from our main living space by a closed off long stairway. Guest access Suite is located above a private but attached garage. One garage space is available for the guests but there is plenty of outdoor parking. A short stairwell is used to access the suite. We park and access our living space elsewhere Other things to note We encourage outdoor recreation and have plenty of space to access the pond and woods. The pond is a year round playground providing great boating, fishing and swimming in the summer, and switches over to ice fishing, skating and snowmobiling in the winter. The local snowmobile club maintains access to ITS trails from the pond. There is Hermon Ski Mountain within walking distance! They offer tubing and more! We have a fire pit that can be used at your own risk. There is a fire extinguisher available outside near the pit. We ask that you bring your own fire wood. We do not regularly stock wood but if there is some by the pit please feel free to use it.

This is a beautiful property with a stunning view of the lake and sunrise. Kayaking, fire pit and a ski mountain across the street. Parking for one car is in a garage which is great for wet or cold days. Host was very communicative.
Peaceful, relaxed, beautiful, rustic. It’s a cabin on a lake with the essentials plus WiFi. We all loved it. Especially the firepit and watching the moon come up over the lake. Our host was very responsive and helpful. It was all we needed or wanted!
The cabin itself was so charming and comfortable. Communication with Rachael was easy and she responded promptly to my questions and accommodated my requests. She gave me suggestions where to go and where to eat which helped make our trip a great one. The kitchen, though small had everything we needed. I will definitely stay here again if we can.

We like the rooms very much, the decor was very country. Everything we needed is supplied. The five of us were very comfortable. Outside the property was very overgrown, chairs and table are showing their age. After we'd been there a few days they mowed the grass and that helped. We liked the lakeside, our grandson loved trying to catch frogs and toads. We spent very little time during the day at the property, we drove daily to Arcadia national park which is about an hour away. We stopped at lots of shops, antique stores and local restaurants. If we're ever in the area again we would consider staying here again.
Rachael is absolutely wonderful, she went above & beyond to make sure our family had a great experience and the view is serene, peaceful, and lovely. Nice private area very close to a public sandy beach with a boating doc, bathrooms, picnic tables, a covered picnic table. Rachael is a very attentive and accessible host. We had a wonderful experience!!!
Between excellent communication with the host, a beautiful view to wake up to every day, and just an overall great experience I would 10/10 recommend for anyone! Absolutely enjoyed our week there!
Hidden down a winding road is a cute cottage with a beautiful pond ! We had a bonfire with the full moon above . Used the slow cooker and our meals were ready after our adventures! Perfect for the 3 of us!
Rachel was easy to reach and very accommodating. While vacationing we unfortunately had car issues and Rachel went above and beyond to help find a repair shop. Worked with us to extend our stay even at an inconvenience to herself. Could not recommend Rachel or her property enough. We give 10 stars if possible.

Overall beautiful place. Cooking wasn’t very easy as the cooktop didnt work and we had to go outside behind the location to use the grill. Not the worst thing just inconvenient
