Our extended family had a wonderful time at Camp Molasses. We enjoyed kayaking, swimming, hiking and campfires along with a lot of relaxation and fun! Highly recommend Camp Molasses for active families, as well as families who are looking to enjoy a peaceful retreat.

When we originally booked, the listing said that the house slept 12 people and had 2 bathrooms. After we booked and paid, we realized that there was actually only 1 bathroom and 1 outdoor shower. The listing now accurately shows 1 bathroom. The property was beautiful, and the water activities were well-stocked with more kayaks and paddleboards than were actually listed. Mosquitoes were a HUGE problem. I would either advertise the house for less people or add 2 bathrooms and a game room in the basement. 1 bathroom is definitely NOT enough for a house that sleeps 12!

Over all its ok. The only suggestion i have is, the bathroom. It’s just hard to have 11 people with 1 bathroom. And also the mosquitoes, we didn’t enjoy the outdoor because of mosquitoes.

Absolutely zero issues with the place or stay, absolutely amazing. It's exactly as advertised and was surprisingly mosquito free. 100% would stay again

The grounds and access to Molasses Pond are simply beautiful.

Our visit was marred by hot weather (90 deg F). House was very hot. Variety of watercraft did not meet advertised, there was no canoe. Overall, house is recommended for normal Maine summer weather; it was comfortable when the heat moderated.

This is an awesome property, so private and the access to the water is fantastic. It's definitely distanced from central locations and its an hour to Acadia, but if you want privacy and a beautiful environment it's worth it. At least there's a lot of access to cooking your own food including grills on the home property and by the waterfront and the access to the pond is a huge bonus.

Beautiful property perfect for a retreat away from busy life. Perfect for family something to do for all ages right outside the back door.

This property is big and amazing. As it took know time in feeling right at home. We did not have good weather during our stay so we used the inside as I would have prefer to be outside on the this big property. However the camp fit everyone comfortably. Washing machine, plenty of blankets and towels. If I was to choose one thing to mention that could better cater the guest, I would recommend more platters and items to hold food items. Overall our stay was great.

Beautiful nature, amazing night sky.100% body and soul regeneration.

We recently had an outdoor wedding at the property. We booked the property because of the georgeous yard space, which did not disappoint. We rented out tables and chairs through Wallace Events, and they were able to deliver with no issues. We hosted 45 people with plenty of social distancing room. Some guests had trouble locating the house, but for the most part it was pretty easy to find. Be aware that the house itself does not have a house number, and the number is located on a planter near the entrance to the porch. The lakefront was so beautiful and only a short walk from the home. There are kayaks, canoes and paddleboats available which is so much fun! One issue I do have to mention is that the grooms mother stepped on a soft spot in the porch and her ankle fell through. She was not injured but could have been. There are several soft spots on the porch, so be careful! The property owner, Holly, was notified and she informed us that the porch is going to be replaced next spring. The main complaint I have despite all the wonderful things about the property is the amount of yellow jackets. It was not disclosed upon booking that there was a yellow jaclet problem even though there was wasp spray in the kitchen closet. Several guests at our wedding are severely allergic to them. Four of our guests were stung once and the groom was stung three times. That is more than 10 percent of the attendants! One guest that was stung had a reaction to the sting and her leg swelled up causing her to have to leave. Overall we enjoyed our stay and Holly's helpfulness throughout the process, but would advise to be very carful if you are allergic to wasps!

We had a fantastic family vacation. Holly was a wonderful host and the property was everything we were looking for. The house had plenty of room for a family of 5 and had everything we needed. The lakefront beach area was awesome, the huge yard was great for kids to ride bikes, play lawn games, and stargaze near the fire pit. My kids favorite part of the entire trip was catching frogs in the backyard pond. Thank you Holly for sharing your home, we will definitely be back next summer!

Loved our time here. It was a great time to get away with family and relax. Everything was exactly how it was listed and the property was spectacular. The blueberries everywhere was an added bonus!

Myself and my 2 sisters and their husbands and children look for places to vacation together every year. We prefer a lake atmosphere as we have a boat for tubing and other water sports but we prefer lakes that will not be busy for safety reasons. This place was perfect. The house was smaller than we hoped but still fit all 12 of us and wasn't a big deal since we spent the majority of the time outside. The land was perfect for us and the tiki bar was definitely a nice touch! We brought our golf cart along as we knew it was a small hike to the water. With 7 children under 10, this was a great way to get things to and from the water easily. Overall, we had an amazing time and we will definitely consider this place again in the future.

We loved our stay on Molasses Pond with our family. This is a quiet peaceful getaway and beautiful property. We loved the tiki bar, waterfront, paddle boards and kayaks. Thank you for a wonderful time!

The property was great for a family get together. We especially enjoyed the lake and kayaks. The water was cool at the end of August, but everyone went in and had a great time. The rooms were spacious enough for a large family and comfortable. It was great to be disconnected and just relax or play games, something we do't do enough. It was a beautiful drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National. Everyone truly enjoyed themselves.

We had a fantastic time at the property! The camp ground is perfect and the lake is beautiful.

We had our wedding here this past weekend and it was SO amazing! Simply perfect! 75 or so guests and there was so much room! Had an enormous tent on the front lawn, lawn games and fire going, withe ceremony by the water. Could not have asked for a better experience either! Whole bridal party stayed with us (total 10 of us). The owner was so responsive, and helpful! Even let us check it out before hand! And we literally had NO problem with anyone posting photos online before we were done because there was no service (bridal party could have because the internet access was pretty good!)! Haha loved it!

We fell in love with the property right from the start! Having the large backyard and the woods leading to the water was absolutely amazing!

If you remember that the listing is described as “Camp Molasses” you’ll be happy with what you find. The benefits of staying here are the amazing and beautiful grounds complete with a serene lake and wooded trails and campfire rings. Also plenty of toys- our kids loves playing basketball and hoola hooping and hunting for frogs, kayaking, swimming etc. The house itself has some quirks- windows that don’t stay open, windows without screens, not enough seating for the tv room and not the cleanest place or most comfortable beds. We just thought of it as camping with the benefit of indoor plumbing and a shower so we were perfectly happy- but this is not a fancy or luxurious home. We loved every minute of our stay!

The following items were awful. Grill was disgusting we had to clean out and replace tank. The oven was also not clean. The toilet seal was not working so constant wetness and drips on floor. Inadequate for 10 people. Wasps flying into bathroom must have a nest. Living room couch was gross. WIFY inadequate. Missing light bulbs. House was not very clean. Water access and view for older people was awful. The description does not indicate this. Poor description. Not enough chairs to eat at kitchen table. Good things: fire pit, boats, sleeping accommodations, washer/dryer, deck/screen house and location. All in all I would not rent again the pictures and description did not meet our expectations.
