We had such a wonderful time at the Hideaway! My husband, 2 children, sister, nephew and mother all fit comfortably and had so much fun. The place was immaculate felt like home. Despite the rainy start to our week, we spent each day paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and made lots of use of the pontoon paddle boat. We even had a visit from the giant turtle that lives in the pond— she was truly amazing to see! Joanna was very responsive and we had no complaints at all. We hope to be back be back again!

Our time away was quiet clean and serene I would recommend this place 👌

The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The view is breathtaking. We saw a loon every morning and had a bald eagle land in he tree in the yard. Check in and out was very easy and Johanna responded right away. We would love to go back!

This was the perfect house for a long weekend to celebrate the end of Summer! The house had everything we needed and plenty of space for our group of friends. The yard and access to the lake was phenomenal. We absolutely loved staying at this house and had a fantastic time!

My family and our two dogs had a great week at Hideaway. The home is appointed with every comfort and we enjoyed our time immensely.

Our family and family friends had a wonderful stay at the cabin! The cabin was beautiful and clean, the personal touches were just a bonus! Joanna allowed us to check in early because there wasn’t a prior day’s guest and that was hugely appreciated after a long drive with small children. Thank you!!

We had an absolutely amazing time here! We brought our dogs and kids and spent the weekend kayaking, fishing, and playing some board games during the rain. The house was everything we wanted and more. The kids asked if we could just stay forever. This is a perfect place for a family trip, very quiet and relaxing to get away from reality for a little while. We will absolutely be coming back!

This home was clean warm and cozy. Our family had a wonderful time reconnecting and enjoyed fishing chatting on the deck and dock, kayaking and roasting marshmallows around the campfire. Thankyou Joanna for making our stay a peaceful and restful stay.

Outstanding

Joanna was extremely responsive and the property was well maintained. My family had a wonderful time and wish it was a bit warmer to take a swim in the pond! Great place to stay!

Great hosts, nice home with excellent appliances, well stocked, and comfortable.

I stayed here with my wife, 4 kids, dog and my sister in law's family and her dog. This was my second time staying at the house and they made some nice upgrades since my last stay (new windows and kitchen appliances). The house is very clean and Joanna is great responding to any questions. She knows my family plays pond hockey when we go so this year she actually shoveled out a small rink for us and set up a make shift bench near the pond so we could change into our skates. Sugarloaf is a 45 minute ride and we do one day of skiing and the other days we play pond hockey. We pack our ice skates, sticks and hockey net and we shovel out our own hockey rink. We all play for hours then take a break to eat and warm up by the GREAT fireplace. I recommend packing everything you are going to need for the days you will be there because the stores are not very close and once you get there it is nice to just settle in by the fire and have a few drinks.

The house looked better than the pictures! It was clean, cozy and just beautiful! It was nice to sit by the fireplace and enjoy warm tea. The kitchen had everything we needed and more. The owners left a really nice note downstairs by the bar welcoming us at their place. The bar downstairs is awesome! The area is beautiful, no cars, noises. The yard was huge and we enjoyed walking around in snowy woods, our dog loved it as well! I highly recommend this place! We are definitely coming back! :)

The property and cabin were pristine and the owners were responsive and very hospitable. This is one of the best experiences we’ve had as a family in a cozy and secluded location with gorgeous views. We felt as though this was truly our home during our stay. Thank you Andrew and Joanna!

When you picture a cabin on a lake in Maine..... This is the place!

We enjoyed our stay in this peaceful location. Loved exploring the local areas as well as antiquing. We even drove to Bar Harbor for the day!

This is the best rental property we have ever stayed at! Clean and every detail thought out including a basket of goodies to welcome us. The owners were easy to communicate with and very responsive. Highly recommend!

The Cabin is a perfect getaway; perfect peaceful lake, well equipped, indulging and very nicely constructed, exterior designed and and decorated cabin. We enjoyed our stay and traveled while on the stay to all recommended hiking and scenery overlooks. Will definitely recommend and want to come again.

We appreciated the beautiful, clean and wonderful accommodations. We definitely want to stay here again…it was perfect!

We stayed at the Hideaway at the end of August. When we made our booking, we were attracted by its setting and seclusion, and it did not disappoint. Sandy Pond is something special. We loved the motorboat limitation; some days we didn't see anyone else out on the water. There were two loons raising a juvenile on the pond and we spent hours on the dock, watching them go about their lives and observing their different behavior. Bald eagles were frequent visitors, too (eliciting loud warning cries from the loons). In addition to the house's kayaks, we brought paddleboards which made for great impromptu swim docks. The house itself is lovely. The kitchen is the best equipped of any we've stayed in. The knives were actually sharp! We cooked in every night and ate on the lovely porch. The ground level is quite private, which was nice when we had grandparents visiting - gave them a way to escape from the bustle of the kids. One note: if you normally make drip coffee, you might want to bring your own as the coffee maker at the Hideaway is a Keurig machine. The Solon corner store is close and very well-stocked for a general store. You could definitely make dinner from their supplies, though a larger provisioning run in Madison/Skowhegan can be helpful. Tip if in those towns: try High Tide/Low Tide Seafood. Nondescript storefronts but love their stuff, especially the smoked mussels!. They have a truck that comes to other towns (Bethel, Kingfield, Rangeley) and it's great.

We had a great family vacation nestled in the woods on beautiful sandy pond. The house was beautiful and well equipped with everything you could need. Joanna was easy to reach if needed, but we never had any issues. Thank you for a memorable week..We would love to stay there again!

The hideaway cabin is great. You truly are forced to relax. Which is exactly what we came to do. The kids had blast swimming, kayaking, fishing, and searching for worms. They also loved s’mores by the campfires. The adults enjoyed a few drinks, good food, beautiful views, and company of family. The WiFi works great. The grill is in excellent shape. The only thing that caught me off guard is there is a extra charge to rent the kayaks of $175. All places I have stayed prior to this do not charge extra. Overall, the owners were very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. We recommend to anyone who is looking to relax!

The cabin was even better than the pictures. It was very well equipped, and had more kitchen supplies than I have seen in a vacation rental - it even had an electric griddle for pancakes! The bedrooms were comfortable and there was plenty of space to spread out when we had to work or do virtual school. The yard was great and the lake was a quick few steps from the cabin. The kayaks were a lot of fun and with the dock it was easy to get in and out of the pond. There is a lot to do nearby, including hiking, a moose safari, the skowhegan drive-in and we visited the shop of the Maine Cabin Masters who were all at their shop that day and could not have been more gracious and friendly. Overall this was a great property, Jonna was a great host, and we had a great stay!

Owner was super fast to respond. AC works great for the hot weekend plus the lake is right at the yard.

This was the perfect long weekend cabin for me and my group of friends. We were able to check out local hikes, enjoy the bonfire, and kayak around Sandy Pond. The property is beautiful and cabin was the perfect size for our group. Thank you!

The cabin was wonderful. We got lucky with warm May weather and was able to swim, fish, and kayak. Black flies and ticks were bad, but it is a bad year for them. Was hoping the dock would be in, but again, it's May and not normally this warm. Definitely plan to stay again!

This was exactly what we needed for a relaxing get-away. The cabin was beautiful, clean, and had everything we needed. The availability of the kayaks and being right on the lake was priceless! We would definitely come again.

As soon as we drove down the driveway, we fell in love with the view! Can't begin to describe it. As for the house, my son in law said it was his dream house!! Beautiful, well-furnished, kitchen very well stocked, comfy beds, and most important.... the fireplace. We spent 5 days at the Hideaway and loved every minute of it. We truly enjoyed getting away from the city for a while. We were blessed with sunny skies and 60+ degree weather. Joanna was most flexible with requests, helpful, and always replied promptly to questions. I highly recommend renting this place if you want to get lost for a few days!! Thanks for sharing you place with us, Joanna!

This property is just dreamy. It was covered in snow and the frozen lake just added to the charm. It was very easy to communicate with Joanna who replied promptly and gave very easy to understand directions about everything. The listing is true to its pictures and description. Maintained with lot of care - for both the sake of the property itself and anyone who stays in it (Gosh that stack of wood and kindling 😄!). The kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. If you have any questions or concerns, Joanna provides her phone number to contact her directly. So suggest doing that during your stay. I'd love to be back in early fall to this place.

This cabin was everything I hoped it would be and more. Lots of great personal touches that you dont see very often such as amenity basket of local products, welcome board with our name on it, complimentary tv streaming apps, binoculars for eagle watching and much more. Being from Maryland, I really wanted a place where I could show my kids what its like to play pond hockey and I was able to clear a small rink for them to skate. During my stay I went back and forth on weather I could stay an extra night and the owners were very cooperative and responsive to my requests. In the end my kids were so exited I was able to extend our stay by one night last minute. I must of taken about 100 pictures of just the sunrise on the frozen lake as it was simply stunning. This is exactly what i was looking for in a safe covid friendly way to get my family out of our house for a trip and I hope to get back next year Thank you for everything,

Our family of four (plus our Yellow Lab pup) had a lovely time in this beautiful setting snowshoeing, fat biking, and enjoying the snow-covered view. We could watch an amazing pair of eagles each day, along with the ice fishermen with their snow mobiles. Outdoor fire pit fun with s’mores and hot dogs on a stick. The fireplace was ready to go when we arrived and very easy to use. The house was immaculate and had everything we needed. Thank you!!
