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!

Relaxing and Beautiful!
A beautiful cabin, fully stocked! The communication with the owners was excellent. A perfect get-a-way for some R&R. Definitely recommend staying here! So peaceful with the pond, the loons, fishing, kayaking, etc. Perfection!

Awesome retreat
Quiet, clean and relaxing setting. Great place to swim, kayak, play games or just sit and read while you listen to the loons.

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.

The center pond place was very lovely and well equipped. Ralph, the owner, was very available and responsive if we needed anything. Nice to have a King bed. Nice views of lake.
