About this cabin rental
Welcome to our family's Summer get-away for about 70 years. Here's a little piece of why we love it so much (and we think you will too!).
Our private 2 bedroom, 1 bath wood cabin is located 3 miles out on a forest road and situated on a half acre of land along side crystal clear Craig Pond. The cabin is within 50 feet from the water and you will have open views and direct access to the lake. There will be kayaks and a canoe available for your use, as well as a BBQ grill and natural fire-pit. You are also welcome to bring your own boat(s). For bigger boat access, you can use the public beach marina on the way out to the cabin.
Our cabin has heat, electricity, a fully functioning kitchen, shower, and bathroom, as well as a washing machine, dryer and basic satellite TV. Our cabin can sleep up to eight people on one queen size, two twin size, two roll-out beds and queen sofa bed in the living room. In addition, there is a brand new small guest cabin with two Twin size beds available.
Within a mile from the cabin, you can also access the Great Pond Mountain trail head. This trail is roughly 1.5 mile to the summit of Great Pond Mountain where you will have access to all the wild blueberry picking that your heart desires, as well as witness beautiful views of area lakes, mountains, and towns at the top.
Also within a mile, you will have access to over 15 miles of trails for hiking, running, biking, or exploring. An alternate trail head is also roughly 5 miles away if you would like to explore further. We recommend checking out Hothole Pond along the trail, which is only accessible by foot. We will leave maps for you just in case.
Feel free to fish for your own salmon and trout while you're here or visit the Federal Fish Hatchery (3 miles away) for an educational tour.
We are confident that you will enjoy hours of swimming, lounging and relaxing on your own personal dock and float. But, if you need a little more excitement, we recommend taking the boats across the lake to jump off the rock ledges or check out the public beach as an additional swimming area.
Once you're done swimming or exploring, feel free to bring out a little friendly competition with play badminton, horseshoes, Croquet or board games.
Then, relax by the camp-fire

8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jun 2024
We absolutely loved our stay on Craig Pond.
The good (more like great) - the views, the loons!!, the sunsets, moon and stars, clean clear water, solitude and tranquility. Our dogs LOVED swimming the day away and taking rides in the kayaks across the pond to check out the caves and cliffs. Perfect proximity to Acadia and coastal towns for exploring.
The “not so” good - We had a handful of issues come up since we were the first renters of the season, but Brenda was ultra responsive and helpful to the best of her ability as not being local to the property. She did everything in her power to make it right.
We look forward to returning to Craig Pond!

As the title states this is our second year visiting. It’s a great location and such a cozy spot. It’s great to either hang on the lake or hike the trials around Craig pond. It’s also an awesome place to drive a little farther to Bar Harbor or Acadia. Overall, lovely place to slow down and relax.

Our stay on Craig Pond was delightful. The weather was very warm and the pond water clean and refreshing. Spent most of our time on the dock, in the pond and in the yard. The owners met us on time and showed us around.
A few suggestions: The sheets and blankets were worn and there were ants in the kitchen. One of the canoes needs replacement. On 3 nights, the neighbors were very loud, the children unsupervised. Our grandchildren could hear drunken adults who were swearing and yelling, as late as midnight.
