Summary: My husband and I stayed at the beautiful Cottage on Ingham Pond. This was our first time using VRBO and frankly did not know what to expect. The Cottage, in my opinion is a home, has every possible amenity you would have in your own home. That includes a washer and dryer. Extremely comfortable and entirely pristine both in and out. Basically, all we needed to bring was clothes and food. The area is very, very private and peaceful. Wonderful for leaving the hustle and bustle of hectic work and school schedules. Delightful for all ages. Games, puzzles and movies for all ages and a surround sound stereo for some quiet listening. Or some 60's rock? Canoes and Kayaks are there for use. We bought our life preservers, but Roger and Elaine had that covered with a bin full of them. We watched glorious sunsets from both dock and deck. 2 pair of Loons always making themselves known with their hoots and yodels. If you like to fish there are different types for all anglers. While I was catching Pickeral, others were catching Trout and Bass. A hidden Gem for sure. We are in the process of rebooking.

Summary: My wife and I make a trip up to Maine every fall and I can state this property was one of the nicest we've ever stayed at. First the view: The cottage has an amazing view of the lake, sitting at the kitchen table there is a huge window and it feels like you are right on the water. The road that goes down to the cottage goes over a hill that has an absolutely stunning view of the entire lake and the mountains in the distance. The privacy at the cottage was great. The road the cottage was off of was a private road with a gate at the top which meant there was no traffic on the road near us, we couldn't hear any traffic from any other roads as well. It looked like there were only three or four camps on this section of the pond and they were all spaced very very far apart which meant we had complete privacy at the camp. The cottage itself was very comfortable, and cozy, but with a very nice and updated feeling kitchen which was great for cooking in. The stove / oven were on the smaller side but the sink, fridge, and dishwasher were all wonderful. Plus there was a crock pot and an electric roasting pan available so the stove being on the smaller side didn't hinder us at all. We stayed here in October and it was getting a bit chilly but we were able to fire up the wood stove and were able to stay nice and toasty from just that, the cottage seemed insulated enough that we didn't need to turn the actual heat on. Overall we had a great time and I would highly recommend it.

Summary: The house was perfectly sized for my family of four plus some cousins to come and go. We brought our dog who had the time of his life. I couldn’t tell from the pictures how close the house is to the water. It’s right out the back door. We had 4 boats to head out into the lake any time. There are only 4 houses on the pond so it was incredibly private. We had 2 special needs cousins come visit and it was great to just put on life vests and let them play. We didn’t have to worry about anyone hearing our kids. It was fantastic. The stream to Long pond was about a 2 mile each way kayak. The wildlife were beautiful. I am a birder and the birds were great. We could sleep with the windows open to get a cross breeze. Again, the privacy was amazing. One of the kids’ favorite vacation. Thank you, Roger and Elaine!

Summary: Ingham Pond is truly a magical location. The cottage is just as described with everything you need in tip-top shape. Kitchen is one of the best equipped we've seen in a similar property. There is a great grill to use and you are right on this quiet pond where the loudest noise you are likely to hear are the Loons calling. Roger is a great host and he is nearby if you need anything. Would definitely plan to return and have already recommended it to friends.
