Testimonial:: We just got back last Saturday from Maine. We’re still trying to adjust to life in South Florida again, but we keep dreaming of Maine and all its wonders. We thoroughly enjoyed the house and had a terrific time at the lake. We swam, fished, canoed, and picked wild blueberries and raspberries down at the edge of the water. In the evenings we would sit by the fire, roast marshmallows and then step outside to watch the night sky filled with thousands of stars. Though we’ve stayed in other houses in Maine, your house is in a wonderful location and so comfortable. Our favorite activity is to pack a lunch and to go sit on the rock ledge by the lake where we picnic, swim, canoe, and fish. Afterwards we finish our day with a scoop of ice cream at Round Pond. We also explored the different peninsulas, ate lobster rolls (repeatedly), and enjoyed every second of the cool weather. Damariscotta is a lovely little town as are so many in the surrounding area.

We booked this location very last minute as our holiday plans were derailed with cancellations elsewhere. We arrived pretty late and had a slight issue upon arrival in which the property owner quickly rectified within 24 hours. Location is ideal for hiking in Acadia, which we did 2 days of, enjoying driving from lighthouse to lighthouse and all the lobster in the area. We immensely enjoyed the canoe that was accessible with the property. Overall house was well maintained and stocked. The only recommendation I would provide is to have non slip shower strips installed. Would stay again.

Lovely home and a beautiful setting. We loved our time on McCurdy Pond, swimming off the rock and enjoying all that the area has to offer.

We have stayed in this home 3 times over the past 12 years and it doesn't disappoint. The woodsy setting is unique to a "lakefront" home and the large grass yard is great. McCurdy Pond is beautiful and quiet, especially this time of the year. The home had everything that we needed, but could use a little maintenance and upkeep. The kitchen utensils were a bit lacking and there could be more seating in the main living room based on the number of guests that can be accommodated. Several of the lightbulbs in the home need/needed replaced and during heavy rain on Saturday evening, there was a minor leak from one of the skylight windows in the upstairs queen bedroom, which made its way (possibly) to the closet in the first floor master. Again, the home was clean and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and would certainly stay here again and recommend to others.

We were so happy to be back at McCurdy Pond after several years away. It’s so peaceful, with great swimming, paddling and just reading lakeside! And near to the ocean too. The house is great. I even got to enjoy the walk down to the water—a well maintained mossy path. My only complaint was with VRBO, which blocked my access to the owner’s check-in instructions and wifi password, causing me to have to call on arrival ( which was immediately answered).

Our family had a lovely time at this property. The lake was great with a few little islands and rocks that were fun to paddle board around. There was a window unit air conditioner I’m not sure if it was listed, but it was definitely appreciated. And I t’s true the walk to the lake is a little long and winding, but it’s also beautiful! We would visit again.

This was our third summer stay at this house. It comfortably accommodated four adults, two children, one dog, and one parrot, with room for more. The lake is the standout feature, easily accessed via a short walk through the woods. Looking forward to returning! Thanks Dominick!
