Perfect & Peaceful

This property was absolutely perfect. Check in was easy and Ralph was very quick to respond to any questions I had. The home was super clean and stocked with everything you could possibly need for the week. Our girls, aged 8 & 9, had so much fun with the water being steps away from the back door. I highly recommend this property and wouldn’t think twice about renting it again. Thank you Ralph & Kim for opening your home to our family.

BEAUTIFUL week on Center Pond!!!

This property was absolutely wonderful. It was so very clean and well stocked with everything you can think of that you would need or want! The location was great, so very peaceful and quiet. It was back a dirt road about 2.2 miles but that is one of the things my husband and I loved about it!!!! Fishing was awesome for us, we caught over 80 bass, most were from 3 1/2 pound to 5 pound#!!! The resident eagles LOVED to follow us around the pond as we fished! We traveled to Bangor, Greenville, Dexter, and Dover-Foxcroft for short little day trips, but we really hated to leave the "camp". Ralph was great to deal with! We stayed at the VRBO rental for 2 weeks and absolutely loved everything about it! We would LOVE to return in the future! We were sad to leave!

We had a great stay here! The house was spotless and was the perfect size for our family of 4. We loved the loft bedroom with the sitting area that looks over the lake - so peaceful to relax. Fishing off the dock was really good and kept everyone entertained. The dock gets great morning sun and in the afternoon the backyard has plenty. The water is shallow around the dock and fun for playing and exploring. We took the kayaks out a few times. The loons were frequent visitors and we could not get enough of them. The eagle visited, too! Groceries were about 15 minutes away and the kitchen is well equipped if you prefer to have meals at home. Ralph was easy to communicate with and very thorough with his information, and we are grateful for him sharing his home!

So Peaceful

This lake is so peaceful and relaxing. Great Bass fishing, averages about 3 -4 lbs that we caught during our stay. Kitchen is fully equipped that no matter what you cook or bake, they got it covered with pots/pans/utensils. Great view of the lake from the loft, livingroom and downstair bedroom. Lake is super clean but you may want to wear watershoes for comfort. Ralph was a super great host. Answered all questions within a timely fashion. Thank you Ralph and Kim for a great place to stay at.

Great Lake Vacation

We thoroughly enjoyed our week at Ralphs place. We swam and used the kayaks. Great floats available for our use. The kids loved fishing from the dock. Kitchen had anything that you could imagine you might need. We used the grill everyday and enjoyed the campfire. Peaceful area on quiet pond

Center Pond Retreat

Ralph and Kim are exceptional hosts! Great communication throughout the booking and check-in processes, including a detailed guide to the home and area and very helpful directions to the camp (with photos!). The house was very well stocked with everything we needed for our stay and more. We took advantage of the 2 included kayaks and enjoyed paddling around the peaceful pond. We also enjoyed the use of the hammock, fire pit, and ample waterfront seating. The beds were extremely comfortable, which was a nice treat after days of hiking nearby. We ventured to Peaks-Kenney State Park, Dover-Foxcroft, Bangor, and did a day trip to Acadia. You must try Butterfields Ice Cream, The Cluckin Moo, and Stutzmans for delicious options. We also took advantage of the day passes offered by Friends of Community Fitness for those missing their full workouts while we were vacationing, the facilities were great and the staff was friendly. The nearby Shaws supermarket in D-F had everything we needed. Overall, it was a relaxing stay at the cabin and we would definitely recommend!

Very good vacation

Absolutely loved our stay at the cabin on the lakefront! The location was breathtaking with stunning views of the serene lake right from the cabin's doorstep. The host was extremely welcoming and accommodating, ensuring we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with all the necessary amenities. Waking up to the peaceful sounds of nature and enjoying the beautiful sunsets made our stay truly unforgettable. We highly recommend this house to anyone looking for a relaxing and rejuvenating getaway. Five stars all the way!

Wonderful week!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful spot! We never had a reason to contact the owners, as they have thought of everything, but they still reached out to make sure that we were all set. The wi-fi was excellent, even when we were outside watching for the daily loon and bald eagle sightings. The property is very private due to a nice buffer of trees on each side. The beds are very comfortable, which was appreciated at the end of a fun day of hiking, kayaking, geocaching and/or swimming. It's a short drive to groceries and fun yummy eating spots. Don't miss the pizza buffet at Stuzman's, Butterfield's homemade ice cream, or a visit to Abbot Bakery! This part of our state is beautiful and staying here was great to return to after doing some exploring. We would've loved to have stayed longer!!

Perfect getaway

This property offers everything you need for a terrific, relaxing getaway. The owner responds quickly to any questions. The place is set up so well, that anything you think you might need, is there for you. The kayaks are a plus, and the lake is big enough to explore without being too big. The loons serenaded us each day, and we were fortunate in having the bald eagle fly over as we fished. The dock has steps for easy entry into the chrystal clear pond. Sandy bottom with some rocks, but easy to walk in. Take west road directly off of Sangierville rd, down a well maintained, clearly marked dirt road to the cabin. There is direct tv with streaming services, and another upstairs with direct tv. Only 30 to 40 minutes from Greenville and Moosehead lake region. 2 hrs from Acadia. Cleanest vacation home we have rented. Pictures do not show how spacious it feels. Plenty of room to spread out. We hope to visit again.

Loved this place

The cabin and property were beautiful. It was clean, very well appointed and comfortable. Ralph was quick to respond to any questions or issues that arose. The kayaks, dock, hammock and firepit were the icing on the cake and where we spent most of our time given the perfect weather we had for the week. Highly recommend.

Just what we needed for a getaway

After a rough start right before the planned vacation, we made it to Sangerville. Ralph was so patient with us and so welcoming as we were a bit stressed around some family issues going on. It's a wonderful home with everything you can think of needing or desiring on a vacation. Beautiful location and so peaceful. Definitely recommend this home and host.

Excellent

Very comfortable, well stocked cottage. Website is very accurate. Owners are wonderful and respond to all emails within 24 hours. Pond is very big and has BIG bass. You will have to have patience in finding out what they will bite but all the Bass that we caught average from 2.5 lbs to 4 lbs. We used a popper.

Center Pond

Excellent week at Center Pond. Very nice property and quiet. Owner is very attentive if needed. Beautiful area. Would recommend visiting Stutzman's Farm, Peace Love and Waffles. and Turning Page Farm. Mt. Kineo and Borestone Mountain (Audubon Sanctuary) are also great if you want some easy hikes (Note: somewhat physically challenging if not in decent shape).

Tranquil and peaceful

What a great experience we had in Sangerville ME! The camp we stayed at was centrally located to all the sites we wanted to visit such as Bangor, Bar Harbor, Baxter State Park, Moosehead Lake & Cadillac Mountain. It's a cozy cabin with a very homey feel, all that we needed minus food was onsite. Loved being able to kayak the pond daily, fire pit is a plus, reading my book on the hammock was so relaxing, hearing the loons, watching the eagles fly over and beautiful sunsets added to its allure. The host was awesome, he sent explicit directions and information about his place and the area. Little notes all over the house left nothing to guess about in regards to how things worked or what to do. It's a little off the beaten path, 2 miles down a gravel road. We should have rented a truck rather than a small car for that reason, but the little town has 2 great places we visited. Stutzmans Farm stand and bakery and Chew 62 restaurant. Both well worth the visit! Very beautiful spot and enjoyed our visit very much!

Wonderful Family Vacation on Center Pond

First, Ralph (the owner) is a pleasure to deal with. He explains everything about the house and area in great detail. We new exactly where to get our groceries and pick up our lobster before we even got there. The home is clean, comfy and well-stocked. We felt at home immediately! Center Pond (which is more like a small lake) is clear and warm. We enjoyed fishing, swimming, snorkeling, kayaking and paddleboarding. We saw local wildlife such as eagles, beavers, loons, frogs and chipmunks. We had day trips to the Moosehead Lake area and Bangor. Overall, a great family vacation!

Taking a breakfast with bald eagles

We were looking for a comfortable cabin, far from the city, in front of a lake, this is exactly what we got and we enjoyed every second of our stay. Nothing was missing, even sharing the neighborhood with loons and bald eagles.
