About this property
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 home built in 2016, 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, five kayaks, three paddle boards, 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.
Note: the dock and swim float are in the water between May and early October, but will be taken in for the year in mid-October.

This lake house was perfect for us. Great common space for cooking, dining, board games. We enjoyed paddling on the lake, and the proximity to our planned Acadia adventures was perfect!
We had a great stay! Lovely house, quiet and peaceful setting. Tim was a great communicator. The night sky from the dock was spectacular. Highly recommend!
The cabin is even better than advertised. Every time we turned around we were impressed with things we weren’t expecting to find. Very well stocked kitchen, amazing views from the shore and dock, plenty of activities to do just at the house. Tim, the host, is very quick to respond, super nice and accommodating. It is a very nice central location to everything you want to do on MDI. We absolutely loved our stay!!
This house was perfect. The VRBO photos don’t do it justice, it’s much better than the photos. It was clean, well stocked with linens, dishes, pots, pans. The dock on the water was magnificent for viewing the stars and beautiful scenery. There was easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor.We loved it and would definitely pick this house for a return visit.
We had a wonderful stay with friends here. What a beautiful, peaceful place to enjoy friendship and nature. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures in the listing, and we had everything we needed for our stay. Check in and out was an easy process. I would highly recommend this place for a getaway to enjoy all that Acadia has to offer.
This house was a fantastic place to stay when visiting Acadia. The lakeside location and the available boats added to the comfort of the home. I think it's even nicer than the pictures showed!
We loved our week at this private home on Long Pond. Great spaces for hanging out. Very clean and all amenities you could want. A great location on the quiet side:)
Our group of 6 enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The house has lake access with lots of water rafts, kayaks, canoe and a paddle boat. Great hiking nearby. Well stocked kitchen and lake views from all the bedrooms.
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.
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.
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.
Great house, in the perfect location to explore Acadia and Bar Harbor. Highly recommended, great communication with property owner. 3 nights was not long enough!
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.
We were hoping for a relaxing place to stay at night after spending long days hiking and exploring Acadia National Park.
This house was exactly as described in the listing and met all of our needs! Loved it.
This was our second stay at the property. It was nothing less than glorious and amazing. There was swimming, boating, and hiking made are days perfection.
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!!!!!
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!
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.
We loved the location and seeing the sunrise and sunset over the lake. The amenities were out standing and the house was well equipped. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the deck and using the firepit on the patio. The only thing that I would say to improve is to blow off the patio and deck when airing out the house and to use air fresheners.
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!
