We absolutely loved our stay on Molasses Pond. It was 4 adults and 4 teenagers. We had several days that we ventured into Acadia NP and Bar Harbor, and several days lounging around the pond house. The home had everything listed and previous guests may have also left some items we used. We actually left a wiffle ball set for future guests.
It had plenty of comfort and we didnt really lack for anything. I would suggest maybe having some more throw blankets for the living room to cuddle up with. Otherwise, the internet and TV worked great, the teenagers loved the ping pong and pool tables. We swam and paddled in the pond and truly enjoyed the home.
We highly recommend this property! The property managers and owners were wonderful. We only had to contact them one time because we lost power for a couple hours, but used it as an opportunity to go get some dinner out in Ellsworth. Power was restored within 3 hours.
We enjoyed the local lumberjack show, hiking in Acadia NP and shopping in Bar Harbor. We did do the whale watching tour and while we saw two whales, I am not sure we would do it again. It is quite pricey and unless you are able to see alot of whales, dolphins etc, it wasnt worth the money. At least for us, to each their own. That has nothing to do with this property, but did want to leave it for future vacationers.
If you stay here, you will truly enjoy yourself. It has solitude, but also gives you a relatively short drive to more urban amenities. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
