A great spot for fishing, swimming, and boating; Hobbs Pond has been a family favorite spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors without the noise and crowds of some of the larger area lakes. At the water edge is a fire pit and picnic tables as well as a hammock. This is a great vacation spot for a small family looking to get away but still be close to everything.

Vactionland is a great rental property. Very clean and fully stocked with everything you need. The backyard is nice and flat right up to the waters edge. We loved playing in the backyard then sitting around the fire pit overlooking Hobbs pond. A great vacation on Hobbs pond in Maine.

They have all the staples available, games, a nice dock and its truly wonderful! AT&T cell wifi was a tad weak. But overall we were on vacation so it taught us to enjoy life without electronics.

We loved staying at Vacationland! The cottage is very nice and also very comfortable. I couldn't believe how well stocked the kitchen was with cooking utensils and anything that you would need to make a meal. Things we enjoyed the most....campfires, watching the sunset over the pond on the beautiful deck, kayaking, swimming and fishing.

On the Water Maine is a top notch company. My husband and I were nervous when we started looking for a vacation homes ideas but after finding On the Water Maine and reading all their reviews and speaking with the wonderful ladies in the office we knew we had made the correct choice. They are all amazing people and answered every question we had.
Property
The house was beautiful and felt like home. Looking out the windows every morning at the amazing view was priceless. Our children loved the amazing open yard and played their hearts out. The floating dock was a great extra addition. This was our 1st family vacation , as we wanted our children to be older ,and from the beginning when I first called to the stay was superior. We have raved to all our friends and family about how impressed and happy we were with everything. This will be somewhere we are planning on doing every year.
