About the host
Hosted by Tom Donovan
My wife Nancy and I have owned waterfront property on Hogan Pond for the last 20+ years. This has been a wonderful location for us to spend time with our Family and friends on many vacations and weekend getaways. Our children have had so much fun swimming, fishing, boating, tubing, exploring, etc. etc. on Hogan & Whitney Pond and the Androscoggin River that runs in several different directions. And they all continue to love to come back and spend time at the "camps".
Why they chose this property
Update:
Over the past Summer and Fall seasons we've had 20+ rentals. We really enjoyed meeting all the different families that came from the surrounding states and as far away as Maryland. Everyone we met was so nice! We couldn't ask for better guests. It was really a great pleasure for Nancy and I have people stay at the property that we've spent many hours working on to make it an enjoyable place to stay. It was interesting hearing what they liked and what they thought could be added to improve their stay. We really appreciated how everyone left the property clean and picked up making it mush easier for getting ready for the next guests. Most expressed and interest in returning the next year so we were happy to hear that! We appreciated suggestions on what we could add/improve to make this property better for their vacation. We've tried to respond to each suggestion and have added improvements. Thanks to All!!
Since Fall we have renovated/finished a new 15' x 24' game/tv above the garage that will have leather couches, ~50" Smart TV, board/video games, etc. In the garage area, we plan on having a pool table, dart board and extra refrigerator for drinks. This will be a great getaway area for the kids or adults. We are excited to offer this additional entertainment and living area for our guests.
Background:
We recently purchased this property in early 2015. We were always awed by the spacious, open views the owners had from their house high above the lake level. The lot is a large enough size to allow many fun non-water activities when you're not out boating on the ponds and river. When the property was listed for sale we were fortunate enough to be in the position to purchase another home on the pond. The interior/exterior of the home had been neglected over the past few years but we have worked very hard to restore this property towards its full potential.

What makes this property unique
Unbelievable views of Hogan Pond throughout the day. We especially love sitting by the campfire or on the deck as the sun sets at the end of the day. A definite must see!! We also enjoy the sounds of loons in the morning (sometimes too early - haha) and during the day. You never know what other animals and nature you'll see throughout the day. Property is spacious with ample space for parking and plenty of room for all types of Family activities. We are always looking to improve the property (e.g. new game rooms and outdoor shower) and add new features for our Guests (new Weber Spirit 3-burner grill and Keurig coffee maker for 2018)
