Privacy on the Schoodic Peninsula, & close enough to enjoy Acadia National Park

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.

Perfectly peaceful setting!
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!

Peaceful!!
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!!

Stunning view
The location is just drop dead gorgeous. Unlike some VRBO photos of a property the photos of this property do not do it justice. As previously stated in past reviews the well water does have high iron content but it is a minor inconvenience. One suggestion we would have is it would have been nice if the TV was a smart TV so you could mirror your streaming services from your phone to the tv making live tv available of an evening. Cell phone service is spotty but acceptable with Verizon. Overall, we highly recommend this cabin and would love to come back in the future.

Honeymoon getaway!
We spent a lovely week at Ponds Edge! The cabin itself was recently renovated and was beautiful inside. The kitchen is top notch and had everything we could imagine needing. The furniture and decor were cozy and comfortable. Nicole provided movies and games to play at night. We used both the inside and outside shower, I personally liked the outside the best as there is just something about being in nature! We lucked out and had amazing weather which allowed us to enjoy the cabin to its fullest extent! We took advantage of the kayaks provided and spent almost every afternoon on the pond. The hubby fished while I mostly took in the sites. We saw a bald eagle, and loons. We started and ended our day on the dock enjoying the view with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. We spent our days exploring- Nicole sent us plenty of local recommendations to try- Tidal Falls is right around the corner and was a great place to catch the tide going out and see some star fish, the Honey Bee Cafe had great coffee and breakfast, Ruth and Wimpy’s was a fun local dinner spot! All recommendations were amazing. We were close to Acadia and caught the sunrise on Cadillac Mountain and hiked some trails and explored the park by driving from point to point. We walked Bar Harbor and took a sail boat tour. Overall- we had an amazing stay and are already planning our next return! Ponds Edge had everything we would want and more! If you’re debating, JUST DO IT! You won’t regret it!

Perfect vacation
We were very pleased with our stay at Ponds Edge. The owners Nicole and John have provided everything you could need. The view of the lake and mountain ( I believe Schoodic) was just perfect. We enjoyed having fires in the pit . We enjoyed gazing into the sky to see the stars. The kitchen had everything you could think of and the view while working in the kitchen is the best!! This is a vacation we will never forget.

Tranquility found!
We had a wonderful stay at Ponds Edge! It is the such a beautiful and tranquil place. Ponds Edge takes "cozy cabin" to a new level! We loved the decor and overall feeling of "comfy-ness." We loved having our meals on the porch and enjoyed our kayaking day on the beautiful lake. The only reason for the 4 rating was the water issue, which the owner was very upfront about. Plenty of water is provided for drinking and cooking. If not for that, which took some getting used to, we would have given 10 stars! Also, the owner was very easy to reach to answer any questions. It really is such a special place!

Relaxing and Peaceful
If peace and quite is what you are looking for, then this is the place for you! From sitting outside in the morning and enjoy your coffee, to having a drink in the evening and watching the fog creep in, the scenery is beautiful. The dock is sturdy and great to sit at and read. FULLY equipped kitchen, major plus. The owner is helpful and timely with responses. Only negative is the water. It does have an odor and turns orange after sitting for a while. The owner does inform you of this in the welcome packet, however; I did not expect the extent of it. It is do-able though. They also provide fresh spring water for cooking and drinking. Overall most beautiful cabin we have stayed in.

It is beautiful location by Tunk Lake! The loons on the lake add wonderful sounds and bring an almost wild feeling! The cabin is VERY nice inside and very well furnished..

Clean, comfortable cottage on a quiet pond
This is the perfect combination of a quiet cottage that's off the beaten path, but updated with top-notch ammentities. We enjoyed the spacious property and the provided kayaks. The outdoor shower is much more spacious than the indoor one, but its use is weather-dependent (it was a bit chilly the week we stayed!). The location is just on the edge of cellular phone service so it was a bit spotty. The owners have done a fabulous job updating and maintaining this property.

A slice of heaven in Maine
This is literally one of my favorite places on the planet. I love Maine. I guess the only downside if this cabin is that is so peaceful it makes it tough to want to leave to explore and definitely hard to want to go home.
