This place is wonderful! We've stayed here for at least 6-7 times. The location is close enough to Acadia, but also far enough away too! The beach at the house sets it aside from most other rentals.

It was a perfect place to stay for us. We had everything we needed and then some. The pond is maybe 20 feet from the door of the cabin. I often started the day sitting at the waterfront with coffee and a book but often got distracted by loons and occasionally a river otter. Host made sure we knew where everything was and shared information on the popular sites nearby. We alternated days on the pond with trips to Acadia National Park and usually tried to end the day at the firepit. We had several overcast nights but still managed a couple of great stargazing nights. The location on the pond was also nice. The immediate, cove-like area offered plenty of space for our water activities, but we did sometimes venture out further across the pond. We had a great time and would recommend staying here.

Tim is a wonderful host and great communicator, checking in with us before and during our stay. We were looking for a secluded area on a pond not too far from Acadia Park and this was prefect! We swam, kayaked and fished right out the back door. We were lucky enough to see loons and an otter right at the property. The outdoor shower was an added bonus. My family loved it so much we only showered outside.

This is our third time renting this house and my family loves it. The waterfront location is the best, the kids are never short of activities. We have always loved the quiet area while still having close proximity to Acadia and Bar Harbor.
