Sneak away to the waterfront A-frame of your dreams. Perched on the hillside above George’s Pond with 150 feet of water frontage and a coveted sandy beach, this secluded hideaway promises endless family fun. You’ll love launching the provided kayaks and paddleboards from the private dock, playing yard games like cornhole, and gathering under twinkling string lights for alfresco meals on the patio. Time your visit right and pluck fresh blueberries from the bushes sprinkled around the property. The expansive outdoor entertaining space also features a gas grill and a wood-burning firepit - perfect for roasting marshmallows when the stars come out.

Take in the stunning water views from the elevated sundeck and the screened porch as well as nearly every room inside this welcoming home. Whip up crowd-pleasing recipes in the well-equipped kitchen, then serve home-cooked meals at the dining room table overlooking the pond. Kick back and stream favorite TV shows in the living room, or peruse a collection of boards games and enjoy a fun game night. Pack lightly, your vacation rental also includes a washer/dryer.

Great view of the pond.... But,
The kitchen was inadequate as stated in previous reviews. The management didn't take previous reviews seriously. The steps were so steep to the second floor that my sister had to sleep on the sofa for a week.

Lovely lakeside rental with ample room to enjoy the beautiful views. It was clean and easy to access. My one complaint was the insufficient kitchen wares for cooking: the rental was reserved for 6 people but didn't have enough silverware, plates, and cups for all of us.

Beautiful view
We had a great time! There is a challenging staircase to upper bedrooms. A couple of issues were quickly & satisfactorily resolved by the property manager. Nice fire pit. SUP on the pond was peaceful. Basic kitchen supplies.

Quintessential Maine Lake House
We couldn’t have imagined a better location and house for our family vacation and as a home base for day trips to Acadia National Park. Perched above a picture perfect Maine lake with easy access to walk down the stairs to paddle board and kayak, the cabin provided a place for us to relax and recharge and just chill with a beautiful view. Inside the cabin was cozy and comfortable with an ample kitchen and multiple hangout spots. Great place!
