A quiet East Coast Camp
This cottage is a true East Coast “camp” experience. Being right on the lake was serene. Be warned that the camp is used by the family. It is full of the family’s memorabilia. In September the area was quiet.

Our stay at Back of the Moon was fabulous. The view of the lake is amazing from the deck, and the buzzing of the hummingbirds and the bald eagles we saw just added to the experience. Everyone enjoyed going out in the kayaks, and the camp fire at night was relaxing. The house itself is very spacious and clean, and is very well stocked for anything you may need. The just , Sharon was a delight as well. Great place to bring the family, and Acadia NP is only an hour away!

Relaxing stay Downeast Maine
Gorgeous lake view setting in close proximity to Bar Harbor, Acadia, and surrounding areas. The cabin was well equipped with everything that you would need during your stay, and then some. Would highly recommend this lake house as an option if your chosen destination is in the vicinity.

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

Perfect MaIne Getaway!
Nice secluded camp on Flanders Pond! Was well stocked with anything we needed. Kids loved swimming off the dock and spent hours each day swimming, canoeing and fishing. Sharon was accommodating and helpful with a nice balance between being available and letting us feel like we had our own space. Flanders Bay BBQ is right up the road with excellent brisket. Manageable drive to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and plenty of other local attractions. Highly recommend!

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.

Clean, neat and quiet
I read the earlier reviews from summer 2017 and I agree 100% with the positive comments since staying here myself. The host, Sharon is a very nice host who does everything right. We already booked the same week next year and can't wait to go back. We enjoyed the private setting, stocked camp, and friendly neighbor we met. The kids enjoyed the fishing and nightly DVD movie selection. Be sure to visit Cadillac Mountain in Acadia for incredible views!

Private, clean, neat, stocked
This was our 2nd summer staying here because we liked it so much the 1st year. The new, large deck overlooking the water is the gem of this camp. The long metal dock extends into the clean, sandy water. The interior is comfy with rustic charm. The owner, Sharon, is the nicest host and so accommodating. The house sits back from the road and is very private. The house is stocked with everything you would need, including bottled drinking water.This is really a place you need to see to believe.

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.

Pictures don't do this gem justice
Walking into this home we were blown away by the gorgeous character, the views, and the location. It was so homey, clean, rustic feel, and all the amenities to make us feel at home. It was a paradise for us and still close to Bar Harbor for us to venture in at night. Neighbors were amazing, Sharon (owner) made sure we were all taken care of and gave us great tips on what to see.... we had fires every night while our dog had a blast jumping off the dog all day. Even the neighbors came over to socialize with us around the fire. Can't wait to return to this piece of paradise. Truly a vacation to remember!

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!

Absolutely wonderful!
Backwoods, out of the hustle and bustle feel but close to things to do if you need that. We preferred to be right at the lake. We loved the fishing opportunity and peaceful atmosphere. We did venture into bar harbor and acadia and glad we did and we did a fishing charter through Acadian. Bar harborvand acadia was worth seeing but too busy for us. We couldn't wait to get back to the canoe and kayaks waiting for us at Flanders! We are already talking about coming back next year for a longer stay. We LOVED Maine! Lots of nice seafood places to venture out to for evening dinners! Sharon is a lovely lady and very kind!

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!

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!!!

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!

AN AMAZING STAY IN THIS ADORABLE HOME
My family and I had such a wonderful time on our vacation and this charming home was one of the best parts of it along with the home owner. Sharon was wonderful and checked in on us to make sure we were all set and even gave recommendations as to where to eat and what to see and do! We loved every single thing about this place! We plan on coming back really soon again. My family and I swam in the lake for hours. We were able to use floating tubes and a canoe and kayaks along with other items. We didnt really need to bring anything but clothes! We cooked meals and hung out on the wonderful deck overlooking the water and watched the stars. They bed were super comfy and my son loved the loft and the tree house. We went to Acadia one day as well as shopped at Bar Harbor and it was about 50 min in the car and went by so fast! When we come to Maine as long as this house is available we will book - such lovely people and Sharon was so kind and helpful! See you again soon! Love The Wades
