This was a beautiful spot for our coastal Maine getaway, offering a large open concept home with unique architectural design, nestled next to the peaceful views and sounds of Hodgdon Pond and Acadia National Park. We enjoyed having the extra space to spread out inside the house. The upstairs bathroom was particularly luxurious - offering a large soaking tub which I enjoyed while listening to the sound of rain on the sky lights.The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Some small suggestions for the future would be upgraded televisions, better lighting in the common areas, and nicer bed(s) in the downstairs bedroom. Otherwise, the home was equipped with what we needed to enjoy a relaxing stay. I took the kayak out during the trip and got to experience more of the pond. Although we didn’t use the fire pit area this time, we could imagine this being a pleasant way to spend a cool Maine evening outdoors. If the sky is clear, make sure to spend one night out on the boat dock soaking in the starry sky - with low light pollution we were even able to see the Milky Way! Although this place could benefit from a few upgrades and modernization, I would definitely recommend this location for a quiet getaway for anyone wishing to experience the tranquility of the island while being only a short drive from Acadia, Bar Harbor, and other nearby sights.
