Lovely cottage
My family and I had such a wonderful and relaxing vacation. The cottage was exactly what we wanted. We loved fishing from the dock, kayaking and swimming. We enjoyed watching the fireworks from the dock. Jody was a wonderful host and was available to answer all questions as well as making some great recommendations of things to do in the area. We are looking forward to next years visit! Thanks so much Jody, we just loved your cottage!

Amazing Waterfront Experience
We had an amazing stay at the property. It was stocked well with all of the essentials that make a rental house easy to enjoy. (Spices, oil, sugar, ziploc bags, extra toothbrushes, wireless speaker, etc.) We brought our 19’ bass boat and caught a few dozen smallmouth and largemouth bass around the pond. Swimming was easy and fun, with brownie points for the steps with handrail that led down into the water. We saw so many loon families and enjoyed their calls. Thank you for a great visit!

great summer lake week
Cottage was perfect for our annual week on the lake. Small but functional kitchen fed lots of family and friends. The cottage is small enough to encourage everyone to spend lots of time outside, but roomy enough for hanging out on our one rainy day. New dock steps were a hit!

Paradise on East Pond
This is our third stay at Jody's cottage on East Pond and we were once again so happy. The place is well stocked with everything we could possibly need (except of course the sheets and towels you are asked to bring) and the place is spotless. We truly recommend this place and wonderful host who is so responsive to her guests' needs. Thank you Jody for our stay in one of our favorite vacation spots.

East Pond Maine
Wonderful experience staying on East Pond. The house was in a fantastic location directly on the lake, was clean, well maintained and was well equipped with the small items to make the stay easy (ziplock bags, trash bags, paper towels, napkins, spices, etc.). The location was quiet, peaceful and There were kayaks and a canoe available to use. The property owner, Jody, was super attentive, communicative and responsive. The washing machine was broken but Jody paid for in town full service laundry! Was an incredible experience all around. Highly recommended.

Well cared for property with everything you need
Delightful and well cared for property with everything we needed for a week away from it all. Loved waking up with the rising sun, swimming off the dock, and taking my breakfast outside. For being a settled area, the water was mostly clear with very little boat traffic - very relaxing and great for taking the kayak or canoe out. Lots of aquatic wildlife to watch. The host was great and offered constant support and even activity ideas when it was raining. Highly recommended.

Two weeks in Paradise
Once again, Jody and the cleaning crew have gone above and beyond in supplying us not only with a clean house but also all the amentities we could need. We are grateful for her sharing her home with us so we can continue enjoying East Pond - this being our 20th year in a row (excluding Covid shutdown in 2020) and 30 years at our favorite lake.

Perfect October Getaway on East Pond
What a spectacular extended weekend on East Pond in early October to celebrate my 50th bday with my family. It was perfect from start to finish. Jody was an amazing host in giving us info about the lake/area and also left a bday gift for when we arrived...so thoughtful. We had spectacular fall weather with warm days and cool evenings. We loved having the gas fire stove to warm us up during those evenings. We spent the days out on the water in their kayaks/canoes paddling, fishing and exploring and seeing so much wildlife. It was so quiet and peaceful being there that time of year and we could hear the loons calling day and night. The house is very comfortably equipped but still has the old camp charm, which our family loves. We cooked all our meals at the house, and even though the kitchen is small, it had everything we needed to cook full meals along with the outside grill too. My favorite was sitting on the dock in the morning with my coffee in the quiet beauty. We can't wait to go back again as a family in the fall next year!!! Thanks Jody!

Wonderful property on a serene lake. Jody was a wonderful host and we are so grateful for the memories made on East Pond. There was more than enough space for our family of five and there were plenty of games and a well rounded selection of movies to entertain during downtime / rainy days. Morning fishing off the dock was a great way to start each day!

Picture perfect cottage right on the water. The kids couldn't wait to swim and explore! Started our days with coffee on the dock watching amazing sunrises. Close to wonderful places to hike, shop and in in nearby towns, but everything you need is right there at the cottage! Absolutely wonderful trip, and just what we needed after many long months home!

Cozy, relaxing summer cottage!
My husband and I and our adult children stayed here throughout the month of July and absolutely loved it! We brought our boat and did so much fishing, relaxing and enjoying family time that we can’t wait to do it again next year! The cottage was immaculate and had everything you would ever need. The owner was very gracious and accommodating and easy to reach at anytime if we had any questions. I highly recommend staying here, you won’t be disappointed. Great fishing, beautiful sunsets, peaceful lake, cozy clean cottage and wonderful owners. It doesn’t get much better than that!

I don't want to share this Gem!!!
HI! I really don't want to tell you how wonderful this place is because I want to keep it my own little secret but the owners are way too nice for me to do that!! The house was well appointed. The owners did their best to think of everything. The house was clean. The dock is fabulous! The water was warm. The kayaking is splendid. Grocery store is a good 20+ minutes away so come well stocked or come in thru Waterville to make your life easier. There is a great little ice cream and snack shack up the street maybe a 5 minute drive. Well worth the trip. I really can't tell you how nice this place is. We had seven of us. 2 divorced parents, 3 kids and my husband and I. I think with the sleeping arrangements were tough for me but only because I took one for the team and gave up both master bedrooms for my parents and bunked with the little ones ! Next year, I may not be so nice:))). but really, 2 master bedrooms on the first floor with a shared bath. That's awesome. Please have your boats checked before you arrive at the lake at the courtesy checkpoint because the lake is amazing and hopefully it stays that way. Quiet slice of heaven!!!! Have a blast.
