About this cabin rental

The best of both worlds! Planning on visiting Acadia National Park & looking for peace & quiet at the end of your day? Pond's Edge Camp completed renovations & expansion of our original 45 year old cabin in 2021 & are offering it for rent for the first time. Our chef's kitchen, spacious bathroom with shower, plus a custom designed outdoor shower are just a few of the many amenities we provide to our guests.

The original structure was built by a local craftsman who used handmade wooden pegs instead of nails or screws & no design plan other than the one in his head, when building the cabin.

Swimming & kayaking in the clear waters of Flanders Pond, with hands down the best view of Schoodic Mountain is one of the treats that can’t be adequately explained until you enjoy it yourself. Enjoy our natural granite fire pit while toasting your marshmallows.

Our rare, large one acre lakefront property offers all of the privacy you might require after navigating the crowds of Acadia National Park. Try & visit Schoodic Point & Petit Manan Wildlife Refuge as well.

If you are interested in hiking less crowded trails, we are surrounded by almost 14,000 acres of protected lands & are minutes from the Sunrise Trail, Donnell Pond Public Reserve Lands, Schoodic & Black Mountain trails which offer stunning views of Mount Desert Island & Cadillac Mountain, Frenchmen Bay Conservancy trails, & much more! If you hike Schoodic Mountain, it offers amazing views of Flanders Pond & you can try & spot camp from up top!

Watch loons cavort & listen to their haunting calls. Bald eagles are frequent visitors. Stargazing is absolutely stunning.

We are not able to offer WiFi at this time, but most visitors can access the internet via their cell phones. We have a TV with built in DVD player & sound bar, along with a great library of movies & books for your enjoyment. We also have a great selection of board games! Minimum 5 night rental.

Second year in a row and it was just as peaceful and beautiful as last. From the Loons to the bald Eagles, to the nightly fires. This place is a great way to shutoff all the craziness going on in the world. Our host Nicole was extremely responsive, and a great host! 5 Stars!

This was the perfect place for a much needed relaxing getaway! The views were spectacular and the grounds felt secluded. We loved everything about it. We brought our standup paddle boards, but it was great to have the kayaks as an option if we wanted them. The pond was extremely quiet all week and it basically felt like we had the entire thing to ourselves. We had enough cell service to answer a few emails here and there, but not enough to actually work which allowed us to really shut down for the week. Incredible stay - thanks Nicole!

The property is peaceful and well maintained. Beautiful home. The only drawback for us was very spotty WiFi reception in case of emergency or if you wanted to listen to a podcast etc or book it was a bit difficult. It would be nice to have a Roku streaming service for rainy days (we had a few) just to maybe watch TV. Otherwise it is a fantastic location. Close to schoodic peninsula and lovely winter harbor. Not far from Bar Harbor either. Owners very responsive and helpful! Would recommend to anyone looking for a peaceful get away.

Beautiful location right on Flanders Pond. Great for kayaking, paddle boarding, swimming, fishing and boating. Property is as pictured and looks out over the pond to Schoodic Mountain. Quiet and relaxing, but the hiking, exploring and great restaurants nearby.

My wife and I can’t say enough good things about this property. The setup of the cabin and surrounding property was so thoughtful, and it was obvious Nicole puts a lot love, care, and attention to detail into it, ensuring her guests are comfortable and well-taken care of. It was so nice in fact, that we didn’t feel the need to leave the area much and even bypassed our original plan to go to Bar Harbor, and instead stayed on the “quiet side” of Acadia, and hit the Schoodic trails. We also recommend climbing Schoodic Mountain - you can’t see it directly across the pond from the cabin. Thanks for everything, Nicole. It was a perfect and very special place to spend our honeymoon.

Ponds edge is everything and then some. The pictures do not do the camp or the setting justice. Everything you need to stay in the entire time and relax at the lake yet close enough to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor without the crowd. The Hostess was phenomenal at communication and making local recommendations yet thoughtful about giving you your space. Can't wait to go back to Pond's Edge!

What a wonderful spot of peace and tranquility! The cabin has absolutely everything we needed and the owners were fantastic to work with. We ate lobster on the deck that we grabbed from a local spot, grilled, paddled around the lake, saw soooo many stars and were still close enough to spend time in Acadia, Schoodic and in Bar Harbor! This place can’t be beat and really one of the loveliest places we’ve stayed at!

If your looking for peace and tranquility this is it! This is a little slice of heaven set up in down east Maine! If you’re into cooking great food, camp fires, fishing (although I swear there are no fish…or maybe my skills need practice lol) and going for a dip in the clean clear water, then this place is for you! Nicole was absolutely fantastic and extremely responsive throughout our stay. We even extended our stay another 5 days because we loved it! Absolutely peaceful!!
