Peaceful retreat Flanders Pond near Schoodic Scenic Byway & Acadia National Park

Listen for the loons or watch for the eagles off the expansive wrap around deck at this secluded getaway home in DownEast Maine with views of Schoodic Mountain and access to Flanders Pond, a fresh water paradise with swimming, fishing and kayaking.
When you walk into this spacious lodge with pine walls and wildlife décor, you will feel the serenity.
In the spring, the brook is rippling and you can sit outside and enjoy the comforting sound of running water in the trickling stream. The summer is perfect for splashing in the clear waters, fishing off the dock or kayaking out to the small island. In the Fall, the scenery is spectacular. As you drive into the Lodge, you will see the trees in various shades. At the Lodge, you will enjoy the view of the vibrant colors from the spacious wrap around porch. In the winter, bring your gear for ice fishing or snowmobiling. It is a beautiful sight when everything is covered with a blanket of snow.
Not far off the Schoodic National Scenic Byway and the unspoiled, uncrowded Coast of Maine at its best. You will enjoy the mix of fresh water access with easy proximity to the salted coastal views along the Scenic Byway and the Acadia National Park. Located less than a half hour from the entrance of the Schoodic Penisula and the breathtaking Schoodic Point in the lesser traveled part of Acadia National Park.
The outdoor opportunities are endless. Whether it be hiking, biking or 4-wheeling or snowmobiling, you will have access to many trails in the area. The home has a full private beach on quiet Flanders Pond (the size of a lake) with provided kayaks. You can swim or fish in the pond. Beach front includes a dock suitable for up to 20 foot boat (not provided). Boat rentals are available in the area. Flanders Pond offers good fresh water fishing and is great for ice fishing. Join the ice fishing tournament in February for a chance at prizes!
The private, spacious front yard overlooks the water and features a hammock, swing and fire pit. Enjoy the sounds of the babbling brook or the loons calling on the pond as you relax on the deck or enjoy the Adirondack chairs closer to the water.
There is plenty of parking space for your vehicle and trailer so you can bring your boat or ATV or snowmobile. Located on a dirt road (2 miles on dirt road) with easy access to the Downeast Sunrise Trail system for ATV’s. Boat rentals are available nearby.
This is a year round rental. Come and visit during the off peak tourist season for a lower rental rate. The large pond freezes and makes for good ice fishing or skating in the winter. Fall is a beautiful time around the Lodge when the leaves are in full color.
The house features beautiful rustic furnishings including a large hickory dining table that seats 10 with a view of the pond. The kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of dishes, cooking equipment, coffee maker, microwave, toaster, blender, etc. The large refrigerator features water and ice and the large gas stove/oven will cook for a crowd! Dishwasher is provided for your convenience. A gas grill is provided on the large deck.
Family room with a pool table, couches and TV is located downstairs separate from the spacious upstairs living area which also has couches and TV. This three story lodge gives plenty of room to spread out. Want to have some private time? Enjoy the small reading alcove upstairs with a glider rocker.
Bedding and towels are provided. There is a washer and dryer downstairs.
Home has a Beyond Guardian Air purifier system that features the same ActivePure® Technology that has been proven to eliminate over 99.9% of the COVID-19 virus both in the air and on surfaces. It provides continuous surface decontamination and air purification in real time.
Wifi is provided. The cell phone signal isn’t strong but you can usually get texts and calls. The home features two flat screen TV’s with Roku and DVD player. Enjoy talking around the table, playing games, corn hole or sitting around the fire pit.
Many dining and shopping choices are located in Ellsworth, about 30 minutes away.

Wonderful Cabin and Host!
We had a great stay with our family. The house is very well stocked and has an amazing location on the lake. Our family enjoyed using the kayaks on the lake, fishing off the dock, and sitting around the fire in the evening. Naomi was a wonderful and super responsive host!

A Secluded Retreat with Resort-Like Accommodations.
From creating and maintaining the wonderful view of the pond from the wrap around porch, to filling the shampoo and body soap conditioners in the showers, it’s easy to see that the owners pay attention to every last detail. This place is as close as you can get to an all-inclusive stay. It’s just missing a chef. The owners ensure you will have many memory making opportunities with all the amenities for activity they provide. We only stayed in the Summer. It a wonder what the other seasons have to offer.

Beautiful Maine Woods
Very nice place in what I would call a lake but apparently Maine labels them as ponds. Quiet, off the beaten path cabin not too far from Bar Harbor/Acadia National Park but far enough away to avoid the hustle and bustle. To quote my brother “This place is awesome and I would stay here again 100 percent.”

Amazing vacation home
We had a terrific stay at this beautiful home. The house was beautifully decorated and the views of the lake were spectacular. We really enjoyed the kayaks, fishing poles, and the fire pit. With a family of 6 we had plenty of space to enjoy each other’s company but also had enough room to spread out for quiet time. The hosts were very helpful with places to visit even stopping by to offer additional kayaks and fishing poles if needed. They were responsive and accessible and made check-in and check-out a breeze. I would love to visit Maine again and would definitely stay at this home!

Amazing House on the Pond!
This house was amazing! Beautiful home on the water, everything was sparkling clean, everything you think you need is there! We had a family of 9 and had plenty of space to sleep, eat, play games, and relax by the water. The kayaks were a bonus as was the whole house generator, which was great during a power outage due to a storm. We were about an hour from Bar Harbor and Acadia, which is where we spent most of our days. Closer was Tidal Falls to explore at low tide and Schoodic Peninsula was a beautiful and quiet spot to climb rocks and even picnic by the ocean. Best food: Geddy’s in Bar Harbor for their haddock and the best blueberry pie! Also go to Momo’s Cheesecake to get any flavor of the best cheesecake! We enjoyed the puffin/lighthouse tour with Bar Harbor Whale Watch Co. & Diver Ed’s was so much fun! We truly loved every moment spent together at this beautiful house and would love to return someday!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful cabin nestled in the woods of Maine. Breathtaking views of the lake, a beachfront fire pit to enjoy, and lovely, spacious accommodations. Naomi was a great host and communicated easily. I am only giving this rating five stars because six isn’t offered. Loved our stay! ❤️🍁🍂🦞🍷

This property is much prettier than the pictures show, it has everything at the house you could want without needing to leave, we had so much fun, the view is AMAZING! Naomi and her family could not be more gracious hosts! They truly care about you and want your stay to be perfect! The kids had an amazing time, Tidal Falls is a MUST see, we could not get enough of it, we went to Bar Harbor whale/dolphin watching, Acadia park, cadillac mt., ate Lobsters at Trenton Bridge (wonderful people) played adventure golf, shopped and so much more! Had a great week! Looking forward to a return trip in the future, MAINE is a beautiful State!

Perfect, quiet, well appointed home!
My wife and I stayed at the home with another couple and we were extremely pleased with our choice. First, the owner was extremely responsive and provided a home that was so clean and stocked with items that it allowed us to have an excellent six days touring the area. The property was 15+ minutes from Ellsworth and it was a very private site. The home was situated on a rise above the lake with a beautiful view. We thoroughly enjoyed the fire pit down by the lake and wish we’d had more time to enjoy the property. It was everything we had hoped and more. Whenever we had questions, the owner answered by text in a very timely manner. If we are in that part of the country again, that will be our place to stay.

We had such a wonderful stay and enjoyed being able to kayak, fish, and swim everyday while taking in the beautiful views. Most nights we enjoyed sitting by the fire and there were many local places to find firewood! The home is gorgeous and we loved the rustic feel and decor. Naomi was very responsive and helped to answer questions I had about the area. There was plenty of space for family dinners! We were all sad to leave!

Wonderful lake week!
This property is even better than the pictures posted! It was clean, very spacious and well stocked. We enjoyed early mornings on the deck overlooking the water and evening’s making s’mores around the fire. Location was an easy ride to Acadia and other points of interest. No need to travel to Ellsworth for supplies and food as the local market had everything we needed. One of the best properties we have stayed at!

Beautiful Home, Tranquil Setting
We just got home from a wonderful week exploring Bar Harbor and the Acadia area of Maine...and we are already planning our next trip! Naomi's home was marvelous! Clean, private and had everything we needed for an amazing week! Enough Kayaks for our entire group...there are 6 individual and a double kayak! The pol table was a huge hit...we even had a family pool tournament one evening! Fire pit with everything you needed...minus the wood! They had s'mores sticks which the kids loved! I was slightly nervous about the "2 mile dirt road" drive...but it was actually totally fine! The road/gravel is hard packed and we had no problems at all! We saw plenty of deer and one day even a couple of porcupines! Also, Loon and a bald eagle on the pond! We always love seeing the wildlife! If you enjoy hiking...the hikes right off the road are quite nice! We did the upper trail one evening and even though we got a little wet because of the rain, everyone had a great time! Naomi had suggested Tidal Falls reserve and I would highly recommend as well! Very neat little park with a ton of starfish!!!! Wish we had planned to bring a picnic and stay longer! She also suggested Chippers and Ruth and Wimpy's...both great choices! Wimpy was very friendly ad let my husband and younger boys come int he back and look at the lobster...he was happy to talk and share his knowledge! Chippers was delicious, fairly priced and lots of choices! Wonderful Trip!!!! 5 Stars for the House!

Upon walking in to this awesome rustic cabin themed house we realized the posted pics didn’t do it justice at all. Decorated perfectly and every piece of furniture was beyond comfortable! Our hosts thought of everything. The fire pit area is perfect for hanging out and the huge deck is awesome for everything from enjoying a book to playing cards or eating dinner with a view. This retreat is definitely off the beaten path with a long dirt road so make sure your car has good shocks. Small price to pay for the peacefulness of this pond.

They had fun
My son and a few friends enjoyed the time spent at this property. Unfortunately my wife had a trial that didn’t settle so we were unable to go so his trip before law school was spent with a few friends. They lived the outdoor activities in the area and said the home was very nice and located in a perfect area. He is a boy so he didn’t get into details but I seen many pictures so he must of really enjoyed it. Hopefully next time the rest of UA can join him.

This was our first time to the East Coast/Maine and it was not disappointing! Not only secluded with beautiful scenery. The amenities were much appreciated as we went fishing, kayaking, and local walks. Naomi was exceptional and quick with return responses along with recommendations prior to arriving that we may want to stop by local Walmart that saved us time. The house was very clean along with a list of details about the cottage! We did a lot of boat tours, lobster eating and just enjoying every moment, every sunrise and every sunset! Would definitely come back!
