About this house rental
Beautiful, private, two bedroom camp/house overlooking Walker Pond in Brooksville. Custom kitchen, living room with fireplace, bath with jetted tub and deck.
Family room DVD and VCR viewing systems (viewed on TV, but there is no TV reception), and Foosball table. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation. Not recommended for small children or persons who have difficulty with stairs.
Canoe (16') and kayak are available to borrow (life jackets also). Use of the beach is permitted by owners of the beach as long as we all keep it uncluttered and in its natural condition.
Disclaimer - Camp Robinhood is close by and is open from June 26 - Aug. 15. They make a lot of noise - learning how to water ski, sail, having singing contests and the like - they are 13 - 16 year olds learning how to have good clean fun. It is noisy during that time.
Walker Pond: Walker Pond is touted to be the third cleanest body of water in Maine. There are several species of fish including bass and trout. The water is up to four feet deep for approximately 100 ft. out. It reaches depths of 40 feet. The kayak that is available is made of heavy plastic. It is unsinkable and does not flip. It is perfect for the novice. The 16' canoe is perfect for two, three, or even four (two adults and two small children). Life jackets are provided or you may bring your own.
There is nothing more relaxing than listening to the loons in the evening, or watching a bald eagle soar over the lake.
Things to Do: Many of our guests enjoy just staying at the 'pond.' However, for those who like to venture out, there are many areas to hike, bike or drive. The towns of Blue Hill and Stonington have several restaurants and shops.
The public ocean beach after the causeway from Little Deer Isle to Deer Isle is only a five minute drive. Deer Isle is a wonderful island full of the 'real' Maine. There are many artists and artisans with galleries out of their own homes, grocery stores, quaint shops, and Stonington, at the far end of the island, is a working fishing village. The views are spectacular as you drive or bike ride and it is far less crowded than the Bar Harbor region.
Bar Harbor is about an hour drive away.
This rental offers no Television reception. Some phones may be able to access a hotspot, but there is a landline available for your use at no extra cost.

We had a very nice time at the cabin. The lake was pretty, the loons were neat to hear, and we had everything we needed for an easy stay. I caught a beautiful sunrise from the shore on the sunniest day of the trip.3

Nice quiet location, close enough to Acadia. Cute surrounding towns. Host very friendly and thoughtful.

Beautiful house w/ a deck overlooking the water. A canoe, albeit very heavy, was available for use on the pond. Not mentioned in any reviews, though, was a summer camp directly across from the house on the pond. The noise was pretty constant as the kids swam, water skied, had singing performances and just the general noise of hundreds of kids on the water. We laughed it off and had a great time, but not quiet and peaceful as advertised.

Cabin offers many benefits (quiet location, affordable price, large deck, kayak, private beach). We appreciated the owner's checking in with us and cleaning up some debris on the porch for us on our arrival. However, we were disappointed by several things that, if paid attention to, would have created a more welcoming and comfortable environment. Cabin would benefit from: fresh patio furniture, a ceiling fan in the Great Room, to help with stuffiness in hot weather, new toaster and cofffee maker, a kettle for tea drinkers, and a less industrial shower curtain. The access to the pond (a highlight of the listing) is a series of steps with a make-shift hand rail follwed by 10-15 feet of uneven ground including mossy boulders, and piles of leaves, which made it very problematic when getting the kayak to the water (we didn't try the canoe as it seemed too cumbersome). It's listed as a "perfect spot for a honeymoon", but we felt that the place just needs a bit more love.
