The views from most of the windows are great, with a pier on the lake and deck surrounding much of the house.

Great location in nature on a lake with kayaks and a canoe. This is the best lake in the area.

I loved swimming in the lake every day and doing yoga on the dock at sunrise. The lake water was not cold. This is a quiet and serene location. The kayaking was peaceful and easy . This is the best location for it is on the quiet side near hiking trails and restaurants. Come here if you wish to avoid the crowded side of the island. Come here if you are a lover of nature, fish and ducks. Most evenings a musician could be heard from across the lake practicing the cello or a guitar. We heard a loon most every day.

Fantastic location on quiet side of MDI in classic, cozy Maine cabin

This classic Maine camp on quiet Ripple pond on MDI is a great location for exploring all that MDI and Acadia has to offer. The camp is well stocked with all the essentials. The open concept kitchen / living room is small but functional with a great fireplace in the living room. Bedrooms are comfortable though the bed in the primary bedroom is on the firm side. Outside deck is weathered but functional with a nice view through the trees of the pond below. The ‘split system’ in the main living area (heating/ cooling) would make this camp comfortable in both high season and off-season. Loved this comfortable, “family” camp.

Sweet spot on fabulous Long Pond, very accessible to Acadia

The house is well-maintained and a great spacious landing pad for exploration around MDI. A boat rental and launch just a few doors down offers paddle boards and a place to swim. We used those along with the home’s kayaks. Felt like it was the perfect thing to stay close to Bar Harbor but not in it, and being on Long Pond (much warmer water than Acadia’s ocean beaches) was a huge bonus. The full kitchen was very useful. Would love to stay here again.
