About this cottage rental
THIS LAKE CAMP IS FOR OUTDOOR ENTHUSIASTS AND COFFEE LOVERS!
Recent Upgrades: the owners have made recent upgrades to the outdoor furniture, water sports equipment, and the boathouse.
We have added four (4) polywood Adirondack chairs, as well as one (1) polywood picnic table (to arrive mid-July).
We have added four (4) kayaks (3 singles, and 1 double/tandem); a sailboard, and a Sunfish sailboat.
In the boathouse for the kids, we will be adding a newer air hockey table, a foosball table, and a ping pong table.
Reservations are for Saturday to Saturday only, and check-in is at 3pm and check-out is at 10am. If you are a serious fisherman, you can also reserve a fishing boat through Lou Kiefer; his phone number is (207) 460-2006, and his email is [email protected]. The rate is $400 per week.
Nestled in the trees near the edge of a quiet spring-fed lake, the cottage affords privacy, coolness, and beautiful views. It is located 30 minutes from Ellsworth, with its many stores, which serves as the gateway to Acadia National Park, and is within easy driving distance of 'the real DownEast' and even Canadian attractions. One hour from Bangor.
The camp is about 30 feet from the lake. There is also a second building which functions as a workshop and storage area for water and fishing equipment, and also has a clothes dryer but no washer due to plumbing restrictions. There are 2 laundromats in Ellsworth.
There is a dock, and 4 kayaks (1 dbl., 3 sgl). Molasses Pond is a clear, calm lake and is 2 miles long and spring fed. Excellent swimming from the dock, and there is a sandy public beach at the head of the lake.
Access from the driveway is by means of a long ramp and 7 stairs. Pets require a $50 cleaning fee.
The 2 bedrooms have double beds supplemented by six (6) single beds on the 2nd floor. The rear windows in the loft has an air conditioner. A heat pump/air conditioner is mounted on the living room wall and has a remote control for setting the respective hot and cold temperatures.
The kitchen has an electric stove, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, cookware, dishes & utensils. and a wood stove. There is also an outdoor gas grill. The kitchen table seats 5 comfortably. WIFI coverage throughout. The living room has a TV (as does the loft), wood stove, mounted deer head and moose horns. The screened porch has sliding windows with great views of the lake and fishing loons.
Lawn furniture and a picnic table provide great outdoor lounging & eating.

Great spot. Beautiful lake. Nice outdoor space. We loved spending time in the adirondock chairs overlooking the lake with the firepit. The screened in porch is great too. Pics don't do it justice. Owner communication great. Only minor complaint is full size beds are small if you're sharing a bed. But the downstairs bedrooms are small, so there really is no other option. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. There wasnt airhockey or foosball in the boathouse yet. But the available kayaks were nice to have. (The SUPs and the inflatable tube in the pics were ours. But there were 4 kayaks and a sunfish sailboat there for use. There were also some life jackets available). There is a little ramp off the dock for access to the water- perfect if you have kids or dogs. We love being off the beaten path - this place is 30mins from Ellsworth, which is the closest grocery store and restaurant options (there are a couple roadside takeout places closer). We traveled to Acadia twice and it was a nice drive. Overall, we had a lovely stay and would recommend!

What a great place to stay and get away from it all. We thoroughly enjoyed our week on Molasses Pond. Day trips to Bar Harbor. Acadia and Schoodic Peninsula; lazy days sunning on the dock, swimming and kayaking in the clean clear water. The 45 min drive to “everything” wasn’t bad at all and we could get any supplies we needed in nearby Ellsworth. The house is cozy and comfortable with a very well equipped kitchen. The shower stall is tight, but totally do-able for a relaxing shower, hot water and strong water pressure was awesome and something you usually get at a camp on a lake. We would definitely make a return trip to this spot.

This vacation was perfect. After the first weekend there was no one else staying on the lake near us except the resident loons. Acadia was not at all crowded and the Island Explorer bus system was convenient and easy to use. The dormitory under the eaves is where we chose to sleep so we were able to see the lake, see the full moon, hear the loons, and enjoy the sunrise right from the comfort of our beds. The fire pit was right next to the lake and we used it almost every night. The cottage was rustic but comfortable and spacious. The main sitting area was cozy and inviting. The weather was perfect for swimming the first week and perfect for hiking and bonfires and sightseeing the entire trip. The leaves were changing throughout our stay, so we got to see some fall color. Whale watching from Bar Harbor was the highlight of the trip as we spotted harbor porpoises, white sided dolphins, common dolphins, humpback whales, and even two right whales who are severely endangered. I recommend this property to anyone, whether adults or families with kids and pets. It is perfectly situated to easily reach Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and plenty of other destinations in the blueberry growing region or along the coast. Nova Scotia is also just a ferry ride away. It was a real downeast Maine getaway!

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!
