About this property

Lake Front-Spa Tub-Fire Pit-Full Kitchen-Canoe

Need to escape the hustle and bustle or a cramped work from home life? The year-round lakehouse is perfect for the outdoor recreational enthusiast, the work-from-home adventurist, a family trip to Acadia, or a cold-weather spa escape. Enjoy this spacious waterfront home in Bucksport, Maine. Relax in the spa tub, fish from the included canoe and kayak, or work remotely with a view. When you want to explore, the home's location is convenient to Bangor, Brewer, Ellsworth, and Bar Harbor!

The space:

Waterfront | Private Dock | Fire Pit | Spa Tub | 1,700 Sq Ft

Live a life of leisure on the shores of Long Pond, where you’ll be provided winter and summer recreational amenities, at-home necessities, work from home capabilities, and easy access to nearby towns!

ACCESSIBILITY: There are stairs to access the building from the driveway. The home is also three levels so two sets of stairs. There is a bathroom on the main floor though. Maine winters are unpredictable but the driveway is accessed directly off of a plowed state highway. Watch your step around the property and water when icy or wet

Guest can access the entire property.

Guest interaction is highly encouraged if needed, I'm here to help! I am not always local but there are caretakers in the area for whatever you may need, just ask.

Bucksport is a small town in Downeast Maine. The lakehouse is conveniently located within 15 minutes of shopping centers like Walmart in Brewer and Bangor and less than an hour day trip to Bar Harbor, Mount Desert Island, Maine's Acadia National Park, and the rest of Downeast Maine. About 25 minutes to Bangor International Airport.

You'll want a car to explore any surrounding areas, but you also would have all you need to enjoy a week right at the house. This area of Maine does not have consistent rideshare service. If you need help with coordinating transportation, let me know ahead of time.

Cute and cozy getaway

My grad school buddies and I had a great time relaxing in between hikes at Acadia! Such a cozy place that made us all smile when we walked in! They even had toys, water bowls, and a dog bed for my pup! Very homey, would definitely recommend!

Had an absolutely amazing time. This property is very secluded and the only noise (apart from nature) comes from the occasional cars that drive down the road. Very relaxing for anyone that wants a quiet getaway.

Great spot!

We had a great stay here and really enjoyed the property. The location was nice for a lot of excursions and being on the lake with the fire pit was beautiful! The kitchen had everything we could need (slow cooker, brownie pan, toaster, etc). And came equipped with a nice stash of board games. Tina, the property manager went above and beyond - so quick to respond and very helpful. We loved that our dogs could stay with us and will cherish our memories made here. Would highly recommend this spot!

Beautiful Lakeside Property

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property on the lake. The property had a nice firepit where we enjoyed smores and the evening stars. We also enjoyed using the kayak and canoe for a paddle around the lake. I only wish the property was set back off the road a bit due to noise from nearby traffic. Otherwise it is a beautiful spot.

Perfect

The location was amazing, trees and flowers and plants. It was cool and quiet and incredibly peaceful. The house was modern and carefully decorated, with everything we needed. The host quickly responded to questions with tips and suggestions for the area- food, things to do, wildlife to look for, places to go. We had a wonderful time and would rent it again.

Perfect stay at the lake house

We had a great stay at the lake house! We visited to have a pre-Thanksgiving dinner with my daughter and her boyfriend who live in the area. We had everything we needed to make a turkey feast and the home was very cozy. We enjoyed our stay very much and appreciated the thoughtful touches of fresh flowers, chocolate bars and hot cocoa and cider!

Wonderful stay!

Everything was very clean in the cabin. Even though we were there while it was chilly and icy outside, we were quite comfortable inside. Perfect layout to give teens some privacy and their own sleeping space, and with shared family areas for playing some of the board games provided in the cabin. Easy drive to Bangor, Orono, and U Maine. Highly recommend!

Had an amazing time celebrating our friend Birthday. The house was perfect and the lake so beautiful! We went canoeing, take out lobsters from a local restaurant and visit Acadia National Park which was around 55 minutes away but the drive was espectacular! We definitely recommend staying at this cute lake house ❤️

Long weekend away

We stayed at the house with our family and pup for our anniversary. We loved the house and all the extras like the kayaks and canoe. The house was cozy and we loved trying out the local coffee that was provided. It was well equiped with every thing we need, utensils, towels, etc. The only thing that concerned us was how close the house was to the main road. It was busy at all hours of the day and night.

Beautiful sport - great for UMaine parents looking to visit their college student!

This property was situated right on a lake with a terrific deck with new wood and wire rails for great views. The kitchen worked well for all of our meals as we ate in. The three bathrooms were clean and stocked with nice products. Beds were comfortable with lots of extra blankets for chilly Maine evenings. It looks bigger in the photos (wide-angle lens?) but it was perfect for 3 generations to share. Easy to get to from Bangor and Orono. Great alternative to getting several hotel rooms!

What a wonderful escape!

Excellent experience all around! Kids loved the sleeping alcove on the lower level, the fishing, kayak, canoes, inner tubes, swimming, duck spotting, frog catching etc. I loved the quiet morning coffee on the deck looking out at the peaceful pond. There was something for everyone! Our goals included Bar Harbor and Acadia and while it’s definitely doable, it’s a little bit of a haul for the day. But once we were tucked into this home we had everything we needed and more. Bucksport has a delicious pizza joint and Fort Knox was also a close by hit with everyone. So thoughtfully stocked and the owners were wonderfully responsive to any of our questions. Lovely stay. ❤️

Tranquil

We brought our pup with us on this family trip to Acadia. We enjoy being out of the hustle and bustle of areas and this place provided that. Some of the photos and set ups should be updated, the bottom floor has the most beds and it also has a walk out to the backyard. Our kids loved that! While I wished that this was a little further back from the road, this definitely was the right place in terms of space and amenities for our family. My fiancé worked on the wrap around porch while my children and I ventured off to downtown Bucksport as well as met some really lovely locals. Acadia is an hour away, which was perfect for as and entire property was definitely large enough to have our pup enjoy swimming in the water as well as let us enjoy canoeing and fishing off of the dock in the back. This allowed us to enjoy visiting Bar Harbor as well as Acadia for the day with our little ones and our pup and come back to quiet and enjoy the sit in spa tub with my little ones. There are 3 levels which allowed us to also have space from our little ones while they had plenty of room to explore and play on the basement level. There were toy boxes on the basement level and main level my children called "treasure boxes" and plenty of board games and activities that kept us busy. The kitchen is a dream. The communication was amazing, I never went without a response or unanswered question. We would absolutely come here again and hope to on our next visit to Acadia!!

Lake house stay for our time in Acadia

We arrived the Saturday afternoon that Hurricane Lee had come through. There was a slight issue with the linens but Eddie / Tina resolved that as soon as they could. The unfortunate part was that we lost electricity due to the storm later the night of arrival which means you lose water also. We never regained it for the remainder of our two nights there. Now - that is definitely not the fault of the host. I will say that Eddie and Tina were fabulous to communicate with. Eddie was very gracious and refunded one of the two nights since we had no power / water and lost the food in the fridge / freezer. He certainly didn't have to do that but was very appreciated. The house has all the amenities - down to the small details which is a nice touch. Everything is nicely labeled. The house sits on a beautiful lake and has a dock to sit out on. We would have liked to have enjoyed the outside amenities but the weather didn't allow for that. Would definitely be a great place to relax. Only about an hour away from Acadia.

Some good some bad !

`The owner responded quickly but had to be prompted to give information like the lock box key entry as well as other information. The house is pieced together but it had individual charm. My husband enjoyed fishing off the pier and we all enjoyed evenings outside with the campfire. The previous renter had a dog and unfortunately there was literally dog hair everywhere. Rugs were full of hair as were linens . We stayed in the upstairs bedroom which had a very comfortable bed and was located right on the road. It was very loud. The other bedroom was on the bottom level and the rather loud dehumidifier needed to be run 24/7 to combat the musty smell. There was no check-out instructions. I feel bad that the cleaner was terrible as I don’t think the owner was aware that they were charging him and barely cleaning the house. He seemed very upset and tried to make it right by offering to send them back to clean it again and also crediting Us the cleaning fee. I appreciated that. We still had a good time and enjoyed the area.
