Treasures abound

Treasures abound inside and outside at this fabulous camp! One could spend a lifetime looking in the nooks & crannies & between the pages of this fascinating cabin. Only a mile's walk outside of town, but it felt as if we were far from any other habitation. There was no artificial light visible from the huge window that made up the wall of the bedroom overlooking the Muscongus Bay, and the Milky Way & constellations popped! Our dog loved it also, so much to sniff! And only a 5-10min walk to dog-friendly Bass Rock Preserve, a lovely little sanctuary donated to TNC by the cabin's owners' parents. We loved this refuge outside of Round Pond, Maine. I hope to return... as does Sophie (the dog)!

Round Pond Stay

Overall our stay was good. I thought the cottage would be more handicap accessible based on photos. I did not know that the only access to the walk-in shower was from outside. I also booked based on one room having twin beds but we were never offered that option. Fortunately two of our guests were unable to come so it didn't matter. I would encourage the property to utilize pest control services as we were sharing the kitchen with big black ants and field mice by the end of our stay. While that is the norm for wooded surroundings, it is not something guests should be expected to deal with. the location was wonderful - quiet and off the beaten path yet close to where we wanted to be. Enjoyed visiting places from my childhood - McFarland's Cove, Pemaquid Point and Damariscotta.

Peaceful Getaway

The pictures do not do this eclectic rustic cabin justice. This cabin is priceless with so many books. The walls and spaces are filled with antiques and I am sure each piece holds its own special story. Such a treat to have this little gem in Maine.

Secluded peaceful location

Gorgeous quiet spot with spectacular views from the master bedroom, both of the bay and a full Milky Way at night. Cottage is cozy with lots of interesting antiques and hundreds and hundreds of books. We virtually wanted for nothing as far as appliances and equipment except for maybe a clothes dryer. Master and living space were large and bright. Other spaces a tad dark and second bath a bit rustic. Overall a charming stay with real character. We recommend it.

About the host

Hosted by Heather & Chris Holme

Property has been in the family for 2 generations and enjoyed as a summer / fall getaway by 4 generations of the family. It was built in 1950 by the owner's parents whose family has been in the publishing business for 3 generations! During the summer the owners reside just 10 miles away in Newcastle and very accessible in most cases. They are residents of Annapolis, Maryland when not in Maine.

Why they chose this property

This property borders a Nature Preserve, is extremely quiet and peaceful, you don't see another man made thing except the Lobster Boats out in the Bay gathering those succulent treats from the sea available at 2 Lobster pounds in the Harbor just a mile down the road. Easy access for walking, hiking, cycling, kayaking, sightseeing, antiquing. Golf and tennis. Several good restaurants near by.
