The perfect Maine summer camp
This place is absolutely beautiful. From the stillness of the early morning to the afternoon breeze off the lake to evenings around the fire, its the sort of place where memories are made. With its private dock, canoe, kayaks, and paddleboat there's plenty to keep you occupied and engaged. Or just sit on the deck and soak up the sun. Pergaps the best thing i can say about our stay is that my phone got wet so it wouldnt charge, and i did not care one little bit! I was enjoying myself far too much to care about missed calls. You wont regret a visit here.

Perfect spot
Had a great experience. The cottage was very clean and the host even provided drinking water for us. We used the kayaks and had a blast. It is a bit of a drive from Bar Harbor and/or Acadia but it honestly wasn’t a big issue. It was nice to go into the park and town and then have a place to come back to unwind at. Beautiful view of the lake out the back. All around great. 10/10 best cootage ever.

Air freshener bomb
The spot was lovely, the host seemed nice enough but the house had a glad plug-in in every outlet and so many sentef trash bags, as well as the dryer going so when you went outside to catch your breath you were bombarded with the overwhelming sent of dryer sheets! Not relaxing or pleasant!!!

Great place to stay
We stayed here while working in the area and we loved it here. I definitely want to come back with my family. The lake was gorgeous, the house is cozy and it's in such a quiet location.

Found a Gem!
We loved our stay at Back of the Moon cottage! The cottage is very comfortable with every amenity you could possibly need. Breezes from the pond and fans in every room kept the temperature cool even on the hottest days. We visited Acadia, Bar Harbor and discovered local restaurants. Enjoyed popovers, lobster and red hot dogs. Sat on the deck and was entertained by loons, hummingbirds, a jet skier doing wheelies and a nearby bald eagle. Loved the outdoor shower! Didn’t have time to kayak or canoe so hopefully next visit. Sharon is an excellent host and easy to contact with questions. Best Maine vacation in years!

Homey
Very nice place with the homey feeling. We had everything we needed. My kids enjoyed learning about the card family with all the memorabilia around. We spent most of our time in bar harbor and Acadia national park. And enjoyed a quiet camp in the evening

Quiet Maine Getaway
Nestled away from the beaten path, Sharon's cottage is a hidden gem. The cottage has ALL the amenities you and your guests will need we were able to make our own lobster boil on premises. Meal prep was/is easy in a well stocked kitchen. Days were spent with a fishing pole in hand and swimming in the clear pond waters. The availability of the canoe and kayaks were a great bonus for enjoying the water. In our catch and release we were able to land various sized small mouth bass, tons of sunfish, and one surprise catfish from the docks. Nights were spent around the campfire roasting s'mores and listening to loons. Cell coverage allowed for setting up a personal hotspot for those working remotely. We had a great time and loved being able to travel to Schoodic or Mount Desert Island easily...all with neighboring towns and restaurants within a short drive. Truly a great quiet location with which to recharge...and be sure to enjoy the outdoor shower as well!

Great Camp, Beautiful Setting!
This is a classic camp on a beautiful body of water. We're from the lake country area of Wisconsin (between Milwaukee and Madison). This is as big as some of the bigger lakes in our area, so don't let the term pond, scare you off. Sharon was a GREAT host, who recommended some beautiful hikes. Schoodic Mtn was one of our favorites of the week, and just minutes from the camp. We also visited Bar Harbor, and hiked in Acadia National Park. Winter Harbor Lobster Co-Op was a great place to pick up some lobster for dinner. Campfires at night provided the perfect way to end the day's activities. Everything you could need is here for you to use. Thanks, Sharon for being a great host and opening up your place to us!
