Acadia National Park: Acadia National Park: In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson set aside 6000 acres (within what is now Acadia National Park) as Sieur de Monts National Monument. With the acquisition of more land and private support and funding, in 1919 President Wilson signed an act establishing Lafayette National Park. In 1929 the park's name was changed to Acadia. Acadia National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, Maine's rock bound coast, its coastal and its offshore islands as characterized by the geologic features, natural history and the native plant and animal life. Forty five miles of rustic carriage roads weave around the mountains and through the valleys of Acadia National Park, the gift of philanthropist John D Rockefeller, Jr., and family. Rockefeller, a skilled horseman, desired to travel on motor free byways via horse and carriage into the heart of Mount Desert Island. His efforts resulted in roads with sweeping vistas and close up views of the landscape.

Cadillac Mountain: Cadillac Mountain: At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is not only the tallest mountain in Acadia National Park, but also the tallest mountain along the eastern coast of the United States. Rising high above the town of Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain offers magnificent views of the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. Explore the summit of this granite mountain along a .3-mile trail, which includes wayside exhibits about natural and human history. Portions of this trail are accessible to wheelchair users. Cadillac Mountain is accessible via a winding, narrow, 3.5-mile road. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.

Great Spot with Amazing View

The house was amazing. Lots of room, comfortable beds, and an amazing view of the lake. It's in a quiet neighborhood and 30-40 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia. My only complaint is that there wasn't any body wash or shampoo. Other than that, the place was perfect.

Great stay!

Property is just as described. We stayed with adults, teens and children. We also rented a pontoon boat from the owner and used it to view the sunrise, cruise to the public beach and take the kids (and adults) to the lake's jump rock. Had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

The property was perfect for our annual ice fishing trip. It was spacious, clean, and ready for our arrival. It’s a beautiful camp and we will most definitely make plans to return again in the future.

Family trip

We had 9 adults and 1 six year old at this property. It was a beautiful lake front home with plenty of room for all of us to gather together. We all had a wonderful vacation and would highly recommend this home. There was one canoe, one kayak and 2 tandem kayaks for us to use which we did several times. Hearing the loons in the evening made my stay even better

Beech Hill Pond

This is our second visit to this wonderful house on the lake. We rented a pontoon boat again. It was 6 adults 2 children and 2 dogs. The property and view is stunning. Close to Ellsworth and Acadia. Josh is an excellent and responsive host. The only negative is that it is so nice staying on the property and boat we only got to Acadia once.

Wonderful Vacation Home

This house was perfect for us. The dock to fish off of in the morning when the kids wake up was great. The access to the canoe and kayaks was added fun. It's a short trip to Bar Harbor and Acadia national park. The house is large, spacious, clean and very cozy. The owners were responsive and accommodating. We would love to stay here again in the future!

Fall 23 family Vaca in Maine

The house we stayed in was perfect. The view of the lake was so wonderful especially at sunrise. It had everything we needed! Lots of room for 12 of us but yet cozy enough to be together! Owner was quick to respond when WIFI went out. Little bit of a drive to Acadia and other locations of interest but the scenery this time of year was beautiful!

We fell in love with this home and it's location. There were 8 of us and have been to Maine many times.We had plans to go site seeing, but once we got to this home those plans changed quickly. We decided just to relax and stay there the whole week. We only left to run into Ellsworth for groceries. The General store is also a great source for last minute items and their pizza is pretty darn good. Lord willing we will be back.
