Located on serene and beautiful Hobbs Pond in Hope, this newer cottage is minutes from the ocean and downtown areas of Camden and Rockland. The property includes a deck, gently rolling lawn, a sandy walk-in at the water's edge and a swim float.
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.

It was extremely easy. Everyone is very responsive and helpful. Kim came out and installed the curtains in the master bedroom and organized a plumber to come out and fix a leaking toilet.
Property
The bedroom had no curtains and face a well traveled road. Thankfully Kim got us curtains and installed them the first few days of our stay.
The downstairs toilet was leaking from the bottom and a plumber did come out to fix it but it still looked like it was leaking.
The best feature was the lake view but I dont think we will stay there again since the neighbors were too loud and nosy.

Two weeks was a bit too long due to lack of amenities/comfort. One week would have been more suitable for us. The highlight was the beautiful view and easy access to the pond for our daily kayak paddles.

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.
