Rooted in a strong connection to the area, family tradition, and a love for lakeside relaxation and stewardship, this cottage was purpose built for family enjoyment and fun. Newly finished in 2014 and decorated with comfortable furnishings and decor offering a step up in quality from the average lake cottage. Refinements such as the glass tile shower with river rock floor to massage your feet, the custom kitchen ready to prepare any meal, or the comfortable king bed with water views will leave you feeling pampered and relaxed. Guests will also enjoy the Sonos wireless sound system, gas grill and beautiful views of the water from nearly every room.
Swimming is great off the dock and there is a swim float in deeper water as well. The new BOTE air dock makes launching boats easy! The main level has a King bedroom and Queen Bedroom, and the walk out basement has two twin beds. Lermond Pond offers great fishing and recreation and the towns of Union, Camden, and Rockland are all within reasonable drive to get to shopping, dining, and sightseeing.
In 2016, a new bathroom was built in the lower level that is reminiscent of a spa. It features a deep relaxing bath tub. Outside there is a new smokeless firepit. There is a designated game area for badminton, horse shoes, bocci balls, corn hole, and croquet. Indoors there is a ping pong table.

On the Water Maine was very easy to work with through out the whole process. Their communication prior to, and during our stay was top notch even though office was miles away felt like they were onsite..
Property
Great house in a great location. On a quiet pond minutes from the coast. Everything you could want to do is minutes away hiking, winery and my favorite mountain biking. There was even a bridge to jump off right down the road. The house is very well equipped with quality appliances and cookware, including a Weber gas grill. Pond is crystal clear and the fishing was great. In our opinion - this is the first house to consider with On the Water in Maine for a midcoast stay.
