About this property

Paradise On Hobbs Pond ! Cottage on lake front! Only 8 minutes to Camden !

The Red Loon Cottage is perched at the head of beautiful, pristine and desirable, Hobbs Pond. Swimming, fishing and boating await your arrival. You will be awed by the cry of the loons and the siting of eagles and osprey diving for their dinner. Hobbs is one of the most sought after lakes in the area as its proximity to Camden, Rockport and midcoast Maine. World class restaurants, galleries, shops, and museums are only eight minutes away. A short 10 minute walk will bring you to the center of Hope, where you will find Hope General Store, featuring delicious pizzas or fresh deli sandwiches and ice cream. The cottage is central to great biking and two hiking preserves are minutes away. It has a generous lawn to play games on and a fire pit to cook your smores over. The cottage comes with 3 adult kayaks, a child's kayak and a canoe. Please see my profile for more info on my commitment to help you have a wonderful Maine vacation. Thank You !

The Ultimate Spot for Relaxation
The cottage is lovely and is the perfect size for a getaway. There are gardens hiding little treasures for the observant eye, and the pond and surrounding views are picture perfect. The rental, check-in, and check-out processes were easy, and location in proximity to Camden, Rockland, Rockport, and other mid-coast locations and activities was perfect. It took 15 minutes or less to reach each of our destinations. We sat by the pond and enjoyed our tea each morning and our wine each evening. We prepared all of out dinners on the Webber grill, and we played countless rounds of Scrabble, UNO, and Battleship with the games our host provided. Overall, an excellent vacation. We highly recommend renting this cottage.

Hobbs pond
Overall good experience. As stated in other reviews the property is next to a public landing which had a fair amount of traffic on weekends and evenings which is why 4/5 on location but certainly not a deal breaker. Otherwise clean and convenient to Camden. Good overall value for the price

Peaceful and Relaxing
Our stay on Hobbs Ponds was very enjoyable. Great location. Steps away from the pond. Peaceful, comfortable, and close enough to Camden if you desired but far enough to get away from the crowd. Many great sites close by.

The Greatest Escape
Nestled right on the water of Hobbs Pond you couldn’t ask for a better retreat if you tried. Eliza was a wonderful host and the cabin offered water activities as well as indoor for the one rainy day we had while there. It was perfect for our family of four and we thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our time there. The stars at night were something else and calm of the pond at first daylight was a dream. We will be back!

Lovely stay
Sweet cottage with a homey and inviting atmosphere. Loved canoeing and swimming in the pretty lake and listening to the loons in the evening! The area is a magical place- Hope has a cute town center with a well-stocked general store. The area has plenty of hiking trails, pastoral rolling hills and charming New England homesteads with an abundance of wild lilys dotting the landscape. Only 8 miles to Camden and the oceanfront. We hated to leave!
