My two sons, two dogs and I had a wonderful stay at the Dodge Lodge!
The view is amazing and we thoroughly enjoyed kayaking the pond, though my son had zero luck catching any fish.
This is truly a lodge in the woods about a half hour from civilization. As you might imagine, that has its pros and cons.
If you're seeking to truly escape hustle-bustle, indulge nature, capture serenity and all its amazing views, this is your getaway gem!
Our host Paul was beyond exceptional - extremely communicative!

We spent a fall week at Paul’s place. The place was just right for our family of 3 and we loved the location!

We had a wonderful time at the Dodge Lodge! Mr. Dodge was excellent to speak with he answered all of my questions and was very kind! The cottage itself was great, it was exactly as described and the views of the sunrises were unbeatable!!

We enjoyed a very peaceful and relaxing week at this quaint Maine "camp." Beautiful sunrises and morning coffee on the porch, kayaking on the calm pond, and moonlit campfires. We found everything to be exactly as described in the listing. If you are expecting 5-star accommodations, this probably isn't the property for you. This is, however a very nice "camp" cottage with a full kitchen, electric, plumbing, and a full size water heater. Two main floor bedrooms with double beds were quite small with limited storage. Upstairs loft had six single bed bunks. As another review mentioned, the matress wasn't the most comfortable, but I believe the host mentioned plans to replace matresses next summer. Also, as mentioned in the listing and in other reviews, there is a ramp and stairs from the driveway to the cottage. This provided a bit of a challenge, as I'm a few weeks from knee replacement surgery - not impossible, but definitely something to be aware of for guests with mobility issues. The host provided excellent communication prior to our arrival and made an effort to get in touch with us during our stay to ensure that we didn't have any questions or issues. Centrally located and within an hour or two of a lot of things to see and do. We took day trips to Bangor, Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor, Camden, and Lupec. My husband is already talking about going back and taking another couple or our adult children with us next time. We definitely enjoyed our time at the "Dodge Lodge."

We savored our time at the Dodge Lodge with its gorgeous views of the lake, whether from the upstairs bedroom, the sunporch, and the dock. If you're looking for a luxurious lakeside experience in a newer cabin, you'll see from the listing that this isn't in any way pretending to be that! But if you're looking for a camp full of character and time and soul, with beautiful light and lots of great details (the air hockey table in the boathouse, the built-in shelves in the sunroom, the wooden steps to the dock), then you've found your happy place. We deeply appreciated our two weeks here, treating this lovely camp as our own, and we are excited that we will be back next year!

The area is beautiful. Everything was as stated. Found a few things, storage for food had no cupboard space. The Ramp was steep, anyone with difficulty ambulating would find it hard getting up and down. Space was limited in living area due to "Cabin Clutter" and oversize furniture. It had everything somewhere! Up in bunk area beds were uncomfortable. Recliner was great. Everything work. Many steps to dock and front door. All are visible in pictures. TV and Wi-Fi worked well. Rent again, probably, Camps are Camps!

My wife and i had an absolutely wonderful stay at the Dodge Lodge. The Dodge's are very kind and fantasticto work with. The views from the lake house are beyond what i could describe here. Be sure to wake well before sunrise and sit by the lake to watch thesun come up. If you're lucky you'll get to hear the loons call.
The cottage is just under one hour from Acadia. We made the trip daily and it is actually a nice time to reflect, especially if you spent the day hiking or biking. If you plan to go to caddilac mountain get your reservation early. For hiking Acadia see the visitor center to register, (bring your mask, they don't mess around).
We also took a boat tour, $38 each and more great views, we saw deals, porpoise and even three bald eagles.
I could go on and on. Such a great stay.

We really enjoyed our stay at Dodge Cabin! It is like going to camp but with several comforts. We loved being on the pond and while it was quite the drive to Acadia(which we anticipated), it was a wonderful place to make our base for a week. Sunrises are amazing, the property is beautiful and we truly had a great time. I call this camp because it’s not pristine or luxurious to most, but it feels like home away from home and we truly enjoyed where we were which made it a hard place to depart from. Paul is a fantastic host and makes sure you get there safe and an open ears to any concerns the guest may have (which we had none). If you are looking for a true Maine cabin experience, this is it! We would love to come back!

We had a very nice time at the cottage. The lake views are outstanding, and we enjoyed relaxing around the outdoor fire pit. Having access to the kayaks is a great perk that many homes do not offer. The communication process with Mr. Dodge was excellent from the initial booking until we arrived. Minor issue with a locked boathouse was resolved very quickly. Just be sure that you can make calls through a web calling app. My cell phone had no service, but my son was able to dial out with his through the app. Wifi, Roku and AC on 1st floor worked great. Would stay again if we if we had the chance.

This was our first trip to Maine, and we wanted to find a true Maine cottage, and boy did we ever. Paul is the absolute best host I have ever encountered. He was so pleasant to communicate with by phone and email, even checking in to make sure we got there safely. The house exudes vintage charm and we truly felt "home" the entire time we were there. The lake was so clear, the view was stunning (be sure to wake up for a sunrise). We saw loons, ducks, fish, frogs and even a bald eagle. The ability to use the paddle boat and kayaks was such an added bonus. There is a little green space with a picnic table and firepit, and the surrounding woods gave you a sense of seclusion. The location is incredible, we were able to visit Acadia, downtown Bar Harbor, Bangor and the quaint little town of Ellsworth, all within an hour or less drive, and then come back to our own private sanctuary for peace and relaxation. If you are looking for a true getaway, this is it!

This house is the best. It is cozy and so cute inside. Comfortable, with a nice sun porch that is amazing on sunny and rainy days. The outside of the property was amazing. Simply gorgeous and so relaxing. There were a variety of boats for us to use and the pond is just perfect. There was also a fire pit and chairs available for us. Paul our host was a good communicator and very nice. We can’t wait to come back to this great retreat- which is close to Ellsworth as well as Acadia. A great vacation that our kids enjoyed as much as we did!

Clean, modern lake cabin with lots of space. Quiet, with only one neighbor separated by thick trees. Owners were engaged and called to check on our safe arrival and satisfaction. Would stay again.

We loved staying at Paul's - it was so nice to have access to the pond, kayaks, fire pit, etc. all within the rental. The pond is so clean and the water was so nice! Paul was so kind to check in on us often, and his property is a gem.The only thing I wish was that the house were a bit cleaner - linens and everything were totally fine, but there were definitely areas that could have been dusted/swept etc. But it was super homey, so it wasn't really a bother.Lovely stay - so close to Acadia Ntl Park and Bar Harbor too! Easy to get everywhere with a car.

The "dodge lodge" was perfect for a week away from quarantining in the city. We spent a lot of time kayaking on the pond, fishing, and enjoying the peace and quiet, and actually seeing the stars! Waking up to the fog over the lake made us reconsider our life choices-- how could we go back to living without this view? The additional access to boathouse and tools was very kind and trusting of Paul. The property had lots of sleeping spaces. Kitchen had many amenities and cookware. The property is about an hour from Acadia and 30 mins from Ellsworth where all the main shopping can be done (shout out to MOMO's CHEESECAKE!! :D) overall we had an amazing experience at a pretty competitive price. We gave the lowest rating for cleanliness because there was an issue with the cleaning accommodations from the previous guest. The home was definitely a bit "lived in" by the time we got there, but it wasn't too off putting. Nonetheless we had a great time!

The cottage is a beautiful lakefront property, very private and peaceful. Plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting, boating, and fishing. The owner is very easy to communicate with and is very helpful with any questions or concerns!

Our visit to Maine this year was marked by the beautiful view, plenty of room for us to spread out, and the hummingbird visitors we came to know. Mr. Dodge called several times to check on us which was much appreciated. The cabin felt like a home away from home and we are so glad we had the opportunity to stay there!

I can't say enough good things about this property! The Molasses Pond view was absolutely stunning and we saw 7 loons (my favorite!), not to mention the cleanest water where you could see all the way down to the bottom. Even the pictures taken from the dock of my family captured their feet underwater, which I cannot say about other properties I've stayed at.
The cottage was quaint and cozy containing all the amenities one could want or think of. A big plus for us is that kayaks, rowboat, and paddleboat are provided which makes summer activities extra fun. We very much enjoyed our vacation here and love the area and its proximity to Mount Desert Island, not to mention other towns and parts of the surrounding area which also make for great discoveries. I'd rather come here than any fancy cruise or hotel......Paul, the owner is one of the nicest people I've dealt with. He makes sure you are comfortable and provides you with all the information you may need. Thank you, Paul, for opening up your cottage in that little part of heaven for my family and me to enjoy!!

I can't say enough good things about our trip and the property! This cottage was an amazing, restful, tranquil place to come home to after a day of exploring. Paul was so helpful in all stages of the trip and his personal attention really helped make our trip successful. I would not have changed a thing. The property was just as described and was a perfect, quiet retreat. You will not regret your time there!

This cottage is so peaceful, relaxing, comfortable and "homey"! There is everything you could possibly need in the kitchen to cook/prepare anything & everything you can think of. We so enjoyed the enclosed porch that looks out on to Molasses Pond! The lake is so clear and beautiful. Nice to have the kayaks and paddle boat available to use anytime we wanted. Very peaceful, and never many others on the water. We enjoyed the loons and ducks! The water was beautiful at both sunrise & sunset times! Although we could've just relaxed at the cottage all week, we took advantage of the many wonderful things to see and do in the nearby area. Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor & all the other harbors around Mount Desert Isle, and a variety of cruises. Our hosts were so kind and accommodating, and easy to connect with. We would definitely love to rent this cottage again!

The house is just as pictured. Paul and Winnie were wonderful hosts and were great at communicating before and during our stay. We absolutely loved having Molasses Pond out the back door and used the kayaks and paddle boat at their private dock everyday. Our favorite spot in the house was the sunroom where we sat to read or play games while enjoying the view of the lake. The upstairs loft was perfect for our kids, and the kitchen was well-equipped. There was a mInor plumbing issue when we arrived that Paul made sure was taken care of quickly. We were told not to drink the water at the house, and Paul had a few jugs there for us to get us started for the week. The only thing that would have made the stay better would have been a washing machine.
4.8
We had really good time in and out of cottage. Cottage has everything you would need for vacation on a lake. We spent our time there reading, swimming, kayaking and fishing (there are some decent size white perch in a lake). Trips to Acadia a must - it is about 50 minutes away on a mostly scenic road.
Paul and Winnie, thank you for your hospitality!
4.8
The lack of AC and heat meant that we had to put fans in the windows in the morning then take them out close them down and use space heaters to keep warm at night. There was one decent bed and the rest were ridiculously soft or hard. There was no remote to turn on the TV so we had to do it from buttons on the back of the TV and the DVD player didn't work. We purchased one at Walmart and Paul did reimburse us. The towels smelled musty and dusty.
4.8
We enjoyed our stay on Molasses Pond in this comfortable cottage with amazing views. It was a very quiet setting. Kayaking, fishing and paddling often with the lake to ourselves. The cottage was very clean and well maintained. There are stairs and and a ramp down to the cottage and stairs to the water which places the cottage in a spot for spectcular sunrises and sunsets. We picked wild blueberries for pancakes and enjoyed crabmeat rolls and lobster. Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor are great places to visit near by.

We truly enjoyed our stay at the Dodge's cottage. It was the perfect combination of fun and relaxation. The kids couldn't get enough of swimming in the crystal clear water. Both the kids and my husband found the bass fishing to be challenging, but worth their time (they caught several very big bass). We kayaked and floated around the lake every day. I enjoyed the mornings reading my book on the dock, watching the ducks and listening to the loons. The cottage was all we needed to relax at night and play a good game of cards. It was close enough to attractions like Bar Harbor and Acadia, which we made sure to enjoy as well. All in all it was a great vacation. Thank you!
