Wonderful place for a relaxing stay!!

This is my second time renting the Bear Pond Cottage. The cottage is a small but very cozy place with both heat and AC and AC has been added to the bunk house, a very nice upgrade. The cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay including 2 kayaks. It is a great place to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet with Balde Eagles, loons and herons nearby. The owner, Jeff, is wonderful and responded very quickly when needed. Barb Assonet, MA

A cozy cottage with everything you would need. Very relaxing and quiet surroundings!

Jeff, the property manager, was very easy to work with. Answering any communication immediately, provided all necessary information about the cottage along with an extensive list of places to go, shop, eat and have fun in the surrounding area. The cottage is clean and well supplied with everything you may need. Cottage is well cared for and updated. Bunk house is a plus. The waterfront has actual stairs into the water, swallow entry with sandy bottom, water is clear. Would be great for kids. There are two nice kayaks provided with paddles and lifejackets along with a rowboat. Most impressive is the quiet surroundings with loons and a special visit of two Bald Eagles that landed in the Pines just overhead, how beautiful. Certainly, a place that I look forward to returning to again.

Excellent

Had a great time. The location, the friendly neighbors, the owner's responsiveness, the fishing, the crystal clear water and the sandy pond bottom all were outstanding. Going back next year if we get the chance.

Great vacation on Bear pond

Jeff was a great host. He told us what we needed to know about the property. The cabin was in excellent condition, and the view of the pond was awesome. If you are looking for a secluded spot this is the place. Thank you Jeff.
