Description

Beautiful, private, two bedroom cottage overlooking Walker Pond in Brooksville. Custom kitchen, living room with fireplace, bath with jetted tub and deck.  Family room DVD and VCR viewing systems (viewed on TV, But no TV reception), and Foosball table. Perfect for a romantic getaway or a family vacation.  Not recommended for small children or persons who have difficulty with stairs. Canoe and kayak are available to borrow (life jackets also). Use of the beach is permitted by owners of the beach as long as we all keep it uncluttered and in its natural condition. 
 
Walker Pond: Walker Pond is touted to be the third cleanest body of water in Maine.  There are several species of fish including bass and trout.  The water is up to four feet deep for approximately 100 ft. out.  It reaches depths of 40 feet.  The kayak that is available is made of heavy plastic.  It is unsinkable and does not flip.  It is perfect for the novice.  The 16' canoe is perfect for two, three, or even four (two adults and two small children).  Life jackets are provided or you may bring your own.  
 
There is nothing more relaxing than listening to the loons in the evening, or watching a bald eagle soar over the lake.
 
Things to Do: Many of our guests enjoy just staying at the 'pond.'  However, for those who like to venture out, there are many areas to hike, bike or drive.  The public beach after the causeway from Little Deer Isle to Deer Isle is only a five minute drive.  Deer Isle is a wonderful island full of the 'real' Maine.  There are many artists and artisans with galleries out of their own homes, grocery stores, quaint shops, and Stonington, at the far end of the island is a working fishing village.  The views are spectacular as you drive or bike ride and it is far less crowded than the Bar Harbor region.
 
Bar Harbor is about an hour drive away.

Most Relaxing Vacation Ever!


We (my husband, and two sons - 7 years and 7 months) stayed at this camp in July for two weeks during a five week road trip. And we all agree that the two weeks on Walker Pond were the most relaxing and wonderful part of the vacation. The house is on the pond and hidden enough in the woods that you cannot see other cabins from the living area or the deck. We spent most of our days fishing, canoeing and kayaking around the pond. There is a kids\' camp on the Pond. Motor boats were pulling campers learning to ski on the weekdays, as well as kids learning to sail and swim. It was more activity than we anticipated, but was fun to see them. We also enjoyed exploring the nearby towns of Blue Hill, Stonington and Deer Isle, which were no more than 15-20 minutes drive. We even made it to a local production of Annie at the Blue Hill town hall! Acadia park is an easy hour\'s drive and Camden is a little over an hour. The house itself has everything you need for a quiet vacation. The kitchen had all the amenities for us to cook in most nights. The loft upstairs was perfect for our older son to spread out legos and play. And the downstairs fuseball table was used nightly. The house does not have internet, cable and our cell phones did not have service. We considered this one of the best parts of the house. Because of this we played board games, read Harry Potter and were reminded that we can have great fun without technology. Lastly, I cannot say enough good things about Sharon. From the time that we booked the house, she was prompt with responses to my questions. We were a bit concerned about our baby and the stairs (which turned out to not be an issue), but she offered several solutions. When we arrived she made sure we had everything we needed. And halfway through our stay she picked up sheets and towels, laundered them and returned them. If you are looking to truly have some time alone or with family/friends without any distractions, this is the perfect house for you to rent. If we find ourselves back in Maine, we will definitely be contacting Sharon again.

A truly spectacular vacation spot


My family spent 5 nights at this Walker Pond home and are so grateful for the experience. Sharon was a terrific host – she answered questions we had before we arrived and gave us a good sense of the house so that we knew what to expect. The location of the house was perfect for us- we spent two days just playing on the pond and 2 days up in Acadia taking in the sites. Walker Pond is absolutely gorgeous – clean, warm, and perfect for a swim or a paddle around the lake. The house is as comfortable as it is beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and we were able to enjoy nice meals overlooking the lake. Foosball was a popular past time but we also just enjoyed reading and spending time as a family. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect vacation.
