About this house rental
PLEASE NOTE: Our cancellation policy is different from the one described by Vrbo. We will refund 100% of your deposit at any time, minus a $75.00 re-booking fee, if we can re-rent the same period as your booking to another renter. Please see the sample lease attached below.
Located in Seal Cove on the "quiet " side of Mount Desert Island, this comfortable and completely furnished cottage on Hodgdon Pond Farm welcomes you to Acadia National Park. Located less than five miles from Somesville, in the center of Mt. Desert Island, it provides convenient access to other villages and Park entrances. The cottage has its own dock, a canoe, two kayaks, two stand-up paddle board, and a Walker Bay 8' rowboat with sail kit. The cottage can be rented in conjunction with Cottage 1 (44879), which is about 2/3rds of a football field down the pond. Cottage 2 is slightly larger than Cottage 1 because there is a dormer in the Master Bedroom that offers a view down the pond as well as windows that look up the pond. Because it is also on deeper water, the rent is slightly higher. The two cottages share a sitting and play area with swings and sandbox beside two small ponds as well as a field. We keep the lower section of the shared field mowed and there is a storage box of outdoor games for use in this area..
Occupancy is limited to six people, regardless of age, though there is a futon bed in the sleeping loft. We occasionally allow an additional occupant, but charge a fee of $200 for a seventh person.
Wherever possible, we use 'Green' cleaning products, provide supplies made from recycled paper, low-watt bulbs, and implement other ways to reduce our impact on the environment. The Maine Department of Environmental Protection has certified Hodgdon Pond Farm as an 'Environmental Leader.'

Hogdon Farm Pond was just what we needed for our family vacation. Solitude and beauty together with tons of adventure. It is really close to the perfect little hideaway!

Barbara has done a wonderful job making this cabin ideal for family getaways. Everything you may need is there. The kitchen is well equipped, and there are a variety of books and puzzles (which we enjoyed some nights). We’ve never been to Maine, and spent a lot of early mornings and evenings on the water fishing and kayaking. Beautiful views of the lake from the house. The cabin is located close to Acadia, so we spent many days hiking in the park and exploring the island. The week went by very fast. Highly recommended if you’re thinking about visiting Mt Desert Island!

This cabin and the grounds are just magic. When we drove down the long private drive, through the overhanging trees, past the blooming flowers and beautiful ponds, we couldn't wipe the grins from our faces. Our family of five spent a wonderful, relaxing week here. We star gazed while sitting out on the dock, caught frogs, played outdoor games, kayaked, dipped our feet in the pond, saw a glorious sunset rainbow, read books, and reconnected and relaxed. The cabin is older, but it is full of all the creature comforts: clean, soft beds with fluffy pillows and duvet, plenty of very soft towels, a fully stocked kitchen, plenty of reading material for young and old, loads of board games, and two indoor sitting spaces to let folks spread out. All of the windows and doors were newer, so we had an easy time opening them and getting plenty of cool, fresh air when the weather was nice. And there was plenty of firewood for a cozy fire when it went cold at night. I also want to point out that access to the pond was amazingly easy and there were no steep steps, as sometimes you never know from the pictures. We loved this cabin. It was the first time I ever stayed on Mount Desert Island and understood what all of the hype is about.

We loved the property ! It was so peaceful . We had everything we needed . My sister and nephew especially enjoyed the paddle-board.We saw lots of wildlife.The only improvement I would suggest would be a light over the dinning area .
