Modern Lake House on a secluded cove on Long Pond, Mount Desert Island!

Enjoy Long Pond and Acadia National Park at Long Pond Escape, a private, new (2016) home, on six acres of woods located on a secluded cove on the northwest corner of Long Pond.

The first floor features bright, open living space with a fully equipped kitchen, island with 4 stools, a large dining table (seats 8), and a half bath and living room area with a wood stove. Doors open to a spacious deck facing the lake, and to a side screened porch. Master bedroom with queen bed and a 32" TV, and a master bath with glassed shower. The master bedroom has views of Long Pond.

Upstairs are three bedrooms: queen (also with a 32" TV), double, and one with a twin bed and a bunk bed (2 twins), and a full bath. All three upstairs bedrooms have views of Long Pond.

There is a finished basement with a family room with a 55" TV with blu-ray disk player and Roku player, a game room with a mini pool table, a full bath with shower. The laundry room is also on this floor. Double French doors open to a stone patio with a fire pit.

Head down to the private dock and enjoy a swim or paddle and discover the quiet side of Long Pond. A canoe, four kayaks, a row boat and a pedal boat are all available for your enjoyment. If you don't feel like swimming or boating, the dock is also great for sunbathing, reading, fishing, or just enjoying the view of the lake with Cadillac, Sargent, Beech, Mansell and Bernard Mountains in the background. You can also enjoy the loons and ducks that swim by every day, and on occasion you'll see great blue herons and bald eagles. On clear nights, the dock is a great place for stargazing -- see the Milky Way in all its glory.

Perfect Acadia getaway

This cabin is PERFECT for a trip to Acadia. Great location max 20-30 minutes away from most popular spots. The house had everything we needed. We got perfect leaf peeping since the foliage was peaked. The dock was amazing and we even cold plunged. Really enjoyed the peace and quiet this cabin offered.

A fantastic stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view, beautiful setting, and accommodations were outstanding. We are nature and animal lovers and had the opportunity to see and hear river otter, loons, owl, cormorant, deer, and ducks. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, the fire pit as well as sitting on the dock and beautiful deck. The proximity to Acadia and the harbors was great and we loved staying on the quiet side of the island.

Spacious and cozy with spectacular view

We love this lake house! The area is convenient to everything but also secluded and so peaceful. It was the perfect home to relax in after a long day out exploring Acadia. I was able to cook a lot of our meals, laundry was easy to do and my kids loved the mini pool table. We would stay here again if we visited MDI again. The host was a great communicator and made the experience smooth. The house was clean and comfortable.

Wonderful lakehouse next to Acadia!

Had a great time with the family. I highly recommend this property. We had fun with the water toys, exploring the area, fishing, campfires, etc. The lakehouse was within 30 min of pretty much everything on the island including Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Seven women on an epic girls trip. Spent a few days in Acadia and finished in Boston. We should have stayed longer in Acadia and enjoyed the house more. Perfect location to the park but also so much to do at the house. 10 out of 10!!!!!

Great house on MDI

We have stayed at many properties on MDI throughout the years and this one is hands down the best! The location is perfect - not too far from the Park Loop Road in Acadia or Bar Harbor, yet completely private. Long Pond is great for an early morning paddle, afternoon swim, or fishing.

Wonderful

The house was as advertised and worked beautifully. Tim was a terrific host providing an easy sign in experience and a lot of info on the place and things to do in the area. We also used the kayak, canoe, paddleboards - all are in terrific shape and included flotation vests and paddles. The location is perfect - quiet, peaceful with terrific access to all parts of the island. Terrific trip, thx!

Beautiful Lake Front

Wonderful house, loved the seclusion, very peaceful setting!, enjoyed the song of the loons every night. House was well stocked, inside and out. Many water toys, paddle boards, kayaks, peddle boat, and canoe. Plenty of life preservers, and fishing poles. Proximity to Acadias many hiking trails was great. Bar Harbor was just a short drive. We would definitely rent this house again!

Beautiful, secluded and serene setting. My family loved the opportunity for water activities: swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding on Long Pond. At night we enjoyed S'mores by the firepit and listening to the loons. It was a lovely Maine getaway.

Beautiful Lake House in Mt. Desert

What a beautiful lakeside house! We have been to the Bar Harbor area many times and have finally found the perfect vacation spot for our family. The house was so peaceful with loons spotted on the lake while kayaking and standing on the dock. We look forward to returning as soon as there is availability!
