Family-Friendly Whitney Pond Retreat – Beach, Kayaks & Paddleboard

Escape to this charming Whitney Pond home, perfect for a memorable Maine family vacation! With 2 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, and a bonus sleeping area in the basement, there’s plenty of space for everyone. Enjoy meals on the screened-in porch or patio while taking in peaceful lake views, or gather inside in the open living and dining area, complete with a bar and dart board for fun evenings.

The main floor includes a bedroom and full bath, plus a bonus area for games, dining at the bar, or relaxing together. Outside, the gentle sandy waterfront is ideal for wading, sitting at the water’s edge, or just enjoying the scenery. Spend your days paddling the calm lake on the two adult-sized kayaks, two child-sized kayaks, or paddleboard, and end the day roasting marshmallows around the fire pit.

Stay on Whitney Pond

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: First a quick note to Krainin; you might want to specify in your instruction sheet that the lock box is on the shed, not the house. As we arrived at dusk, we walked around the house looking for the lock box. After going back to the car to call, saw the lock box on the shed. Also we never received instructions or lock box code and had to call for that. As it was a Saturday, there was no one in the office so had to leave an emergency call. This information was sent to an incorrect phone number.We selected this cabin for the first floor bedroom and bath. This is significant as we are both seniors and have mobility issues. That being said, the lovely iron bed due to the height was impossible for us to get into without a stool so we decided to sleep downstairs. To our dismay there was no hand rail down the steps which is kind of important when using a cane for stability. Another concern was for 2 days there was no heat as evenings dropped to the upper 30s-mid 40's. That was ultimately rectified. Overall, it was a lovely cottage and wonderful view. Just think maybe a couple things need to be made apparent that it's not senior friendly
