On The Rocks provided the perfect quiet getaway for my fiancé and I! We didn’t mind the 30-45 minute drive out to Bar Harbor - there are so many fun stops along the way. The kayaks at the property are a plus, too! The house is very clean and had all the essentials.
This place was absolutely fantastic! The view of the sunset on the lake was beautiful, if we wanted to just stay at the house there was plenty to do. The owners were helpful and gave us all kind of suggestions on places to visit and things to do.
The property was a very clean, quiet, restful place to return to after a day of sightseeing. My husband and I enjoyed having the kayaks available…sunset on the lake is beautiful.
We are so happy we decided to stay out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and booked this place. We looked forward to waking up to the beautiful view every morning and seeing the gorgeous sunsets every night. The house was perfect and it came with everything we needed for our week long stay. The owners were also so easy to contact when I had a few questions. We hope to be back next year!
We had a wonderful stay at ‘On the Rocks’. The house was everything promised! We enjoyed watching the sunset on the deck, drinking beer by the warmth of the brazier and canoeing on the lake. The house itself was very well appointed and warm. WiFi worked well. We were so sad to leave!!
On The Rocks is exactly as advertised. The camp is well appointed, very clean, and mere steps away from George's Pond. Enjoy beautiful sunsets with the call of loons and take advantage of the available kayaks to explore and see an eagle or two.
Visit Northeast Harbor and be sure to stop in at Colonel's Restaurant and Bakery....you can't go wrong with any selection.
Many thanks to our hosts for a great stay! We look forward to coming back!
Me and my boyfriend came to Maine to hike in Acadia National Park and despite the distance (~40 mins) from ANP, decided to stay here. We didn’t regret the decision! We loved coming back here to relax at the end of the day. We even took advantage of the kayaks one morning. The area is just very peaceful overall and this cabin is very cozy.
This is the first time the pictures didn’t do the place justice! “On the Rocks” was AMAZING!
It was clean, and had everything u could possibly need! We enjoyed kayaking around George’s pond! Loon’s and bald eagles were plentiful!
We will definitely make this a place to revisit!!!
Great place. You have to be ok with being 30-45 mins from Acadia -- if that's why you're in the area -- but otherwise, fantastic camp. Everything's as listed, clean, beautiful, comfortable. We enjoyed going to Schoodic and touring around some of the pottery studios. Also, hiked a bunch. The camp was a perfect place to come home to at end of day.
Everything was great. I had some trouble finding the cottage using my Motorola Droid Max (Android) Google Maps. It sent me down the wrong driveway and was consistently wrong finding the address. It told me to turn on Benton Lane. On the otherhand, the Google Maps on my work I-Phone was spot on correct in locating the address. I am not sure why. The propane gas tank for the grill was empty. However, the Caretaker got it replaced that same day.
We had a great week of summer vacation at "On the Rocks". The house has been renovated wonderfully and it's furnished with everything that you need for your stay. Bring your groceries and you can cook, bake, grill, etc. Everything you would have in your home kitchen is already provided.
The deck literally sits over the water and we had a great time fishing right off the private dock. The two kayaks were a great bonus and we had a lot of fun exploring the lake.
We chose to get out early every morning to explore Acadia and we came back in the late afternoon to enjoy the lake in the evenings. The summer sunsets on the lake are really pretty and the fish start biting once the sun dips below the treeline.
Mark is also a very responsive owner and he gave us great restaurant recommendations. We selfishly ate some type of lobster dish daily and it was totally worth it!
We would gladly come back here in the future.
The house was cozy, super clean and the view was astounding! Kitchen had new appliances and was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans etc. Loved starting the day with a cup of coffee enjoying the view of the pond. Highly recommend.
On The Rocks was as beautiful as you can imagine fall in Maine would be! You literally are right on the lake, view is gorgeous. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything we needed, close to hiking and seeing the coastline of Maine. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Didn't want to go back home the cottage was so cozy and the pond so beautiful. Everything we needed was on site, clean & worked well. We ate at the owners' restaurant on Desert Island andenjoyed that too.
Property was spotless, well-equipped and very comfortable. Easy to communicate with owner when we had a question. Easy trip to local areas of interest, yet felt worlds away from tourist bustle. We spent many tranquil and restorative hours just gazing at the pond and watching the loons.
The home & proximity to the Harbors & Acadia National Park is perfect. Georges Pond is absolutely picturesque; you must take advantage & take the kayaks out ~ so peaceful. I would definitely stay again.
