Rooted in a strong connection to the area, family tradition, and a love for lakeside relaxation and stewardship, this cottage was purpose built for family enjoyment and fun. Newly finished in 2014 and decorated with comfortable furnishings and decor offering a step up in quality from the average lake cottage. Refinements such as the glass tile shower with river rock floor to massage your feet, the custom kitchen ready to prepare any meal, or the comfortable king bed with water views will leave you feeling pampered and relaxed. Guests will also enjoy the Sonos wireless sound system, gas grill and beautiful views of the water from nearly every room.

This was our second stay at Our Song and it was just as lovely as the first! The home is beautifully decorated, and the kitchen is well stocked to make any meal you wish!
We loved using the provided kayaks and canoes, and swimming and fishing are great right off the dock.
The proximity to Camden (15-20 minutes is a bonus!)
Our favorite place to stay in Maine!

This house has one of the best and most relaxing views I have encountered in a vacation property. It's a small house, but it's perfect for a few people, especially a family with children. It's a smart house in terms of how it's configured and laid out. We will be back.

Kelsey started the fabulous vacation. I called and spoke with her about a year before our trip and described my family and what we have enjoyed about previous vacations. She took my description and recommended about 4 properties for me to consider. Since I was totally unfamiliar with the area, her advice was invaluable. I believe we would have been totally happy with either of the top 2 properties I ranked from her list.

Our Song on Lermond Pond was superb! The views from the living area, kitchen, dock, etc. were very soothing. We had to put our dog of 12 years to sleep midway through the vacation and it was the serenity of the cottage that got us through this tough time. Having the kayaks was fantastic! I paddled every day even when the weather threatened. Bathrooms were outstanding. Kitchen was the most well stocked kitchen I have even been in! It's location near everything made exploring very easy.

Over the past several years we have rented several properties from On The Water In Maine when we come to Maine to visit our son and his family.This year we decided on a fish camp since our grandson loves the water as much as we do. This property was perfect for us since it was on one of the cleanest lakes in Maine, included all of the water toys you could ask for, had a tree swing, fire pit, grill and beautiful view.

We arrived at the front door and knew instantly "this is where we wanted to be" and that feeling was so true the entire two week stay.
The children were immediately on the pier, there was a swim before even unoacking.
We remained near, upon, and in the water every day and sometimes all day.

We loved everything about Our Song. Lermond Pond is a lovely small lake, quiet and peaceful, and the house is located on a quiet dead end road. The cottage itself is charming with so many thoughtful details throughout: comfortable beds, equipped kitchen, lovely furnishings, the list goes on. We had some rainy days and sunny days--classic Maine vacation weather--but it didn't bother us as we were able to enjoy the inside (and nearby towns) on rainy days and the lake on sunny days. We met most of the friendly neighbors while we were there, and look forward to coming back!

Just like looms, location, location, location. One of our favorite features was definitely the pond, we couldn't stay off the water, from fishing to just sitting on the dock at nights. A huge plus for our family was all the supplies that we found in the home (spices, lobster dishes, bags, and foil) making it very convent to cook without having to think about the little things you might need.

We stayed at Our Song for 6 days the end of September. It was a wonderful experience. We loved the cottage and the location -- we could enjoy the lake and peacefulness of the lakeside as well as easily reach all the interesting sites on the ocean. We lucked into gorgeous September weather which made kayaking and canoeing fun -- I even swam to the raft -- and had the added attraction of changing leaves. Everything about the cottage was 5 star. It is decorated beautifully down to the smallest detail -- but still very homey and comfortable. They have everything you could possibly want in terms of housewares (we enjoyed the barbecue as well) and in terms of outdoor equipment -- bikes, kayaks, a canoe, etc. Many different places to sit and hangout outdoors as well. I can't imagine a better way to enjoy Maine.

Great house in a great location. On a quiet pond minutes from the coast. Everything you could want to do is minutes away hiking, winery and my favorite mountain biking. There was even a bridge to jump off right down the road. The house is very well equipped with quality appliances and cookware, including a Weber gas grill. Pond is crystal clear and the fishing was great. In our opinion - this is the first house to consider with On the Water in Maine for a midcoast stay.
