About this property
ChaseHouse Shangri-La
Shangri-La is a modern, warm and inviting three bedroom cottage tucked in the woods that sits on the water's edge overlooking Echo Lake and Beech Mountain. Complete with its own dock for sunbathing, swimming and boating. This lake front cottage is the perfect retreat for getting away from it all, with the added advantage of being close to Southwest Harbor and Bar Harbor. Inside you will find quality furnishings and linens, hardwood floors, and comfortable beds and down feather pillows. With its central island location, you can maximize your trip by being in proximity to all the best things Mount Dessert Island has to offer. Although, on a sunny day, it may be difficult to leave.
LAYOUT:
Main Level / First Floor: Steps from the driveway lead you to the front entry screened in porch. From there, enter the cottage's modern kitchen with built in dishwasher, commercial grade convection cook top and oven, microwave and well stocked dishware, cooking pots/pans, and utensils. Off the kitchen is an open floor layout with farm table that seats eight and living room with comfortable seating, blue tooth speakers, and wall-mounted 60 inch flat screen tv with Netflix. Off the living room is the rear screened in porch overlooking Echo Lake, the swimming/boat dock and outdoor deck. The master bedroom suite has its own full bath, and queen bed with incredible views of Echo Lake and Beech Mountain. The second bedroom is off the living room down the hall with two twin beds.
Upper Level / second floor: Stairs from the hallway between the living room and second bedroom lead to a second floor bedroom with queen bed and 1/2 bath, that sits above and looks across Echo Lake. This bedroom has a cathedral ceiling, skylights and a full wall of windows and is perched at tree top level, giving it a bird's nest feel, looking down and across on Echo Lake towards Beech Mountain.
Outside: Off the living area and dining area is a lake side screened in porch and deck with gas grill, comfortable furniture and outdoor patio table and chairs. At the base of the deck is the dock where you can walk out about 20 yards out onto the lake to sunbathe, swim, read a book, nap, or launch a canoe or kayaak to paddle on the lake with the Loons.

About the host
Hosted by Bart Chase, Proprietor

The Chase Family has long been connected with Mount Desert Island. "Mimi" Chase, the deceased matriarch of the Chase Family, and her husband Robert Woodward, 50 years ago first arrived in Maine from Florham Park, NJ to homestead and stake their roots on Green Lake in Ellsworth Maine. Eventually they purchased a summer cottage on Green Lake's shore edge where they opened their home to their three children and 7 grandchildren to learn to swim, kayak, fish, build a camp fire, hike and explore Acadia National Park. And just as importantly, to learn to relax with family and friends and to form everlasting memories. Bart, Mimi's youngest son, and his wife Ann and four adult children , from Summit, NJ, are owners of ChaseHouse vacation home properties. Bart and Ann and their four children and two black Labrador Retrievers Bhodi and Woogie are adventurous nature loving outdoors people who enjoy extended and short stays throughout the seasons at their homes in Maine to explore the granite Atlantic coast and Acadia Park trails. On any given day the Chase Family, their friends, and invited guests are likely biking, hiking, boating, snow shoeing, cross country skiing, or simply wandering on a new uncharted adventure out and about in Acadia Park, at Green Lake, Schoodic, or elsewhere . If they are not in Acadia Park exploring, they are likely playing bocci ball at the Lompac in Bar Harbor, watching a movie at Reel Pizza, or chill-laxing on the Shore Path dangling their feet over a granite cliff overlooking Frenchman's bay, or lounging on the hammock with Cadillac Mountain in eye sight. The Chase Family is pleased to welcome guests to lodge in one of ChaseHouse's vacation rental properties to explore Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park and to experience the many attractions, natural delights, and scenic, relaxing beauty that the Island offers.
