Modern Lake House on a secluded cove on Long Pond, Mount Desert Island!
Truly a beautiful place. Everything was pristine and well cared for. We went here as a trip for my father who had limited mobility, and it was very accessible (only a few steps to the front door). Staying here made the trip very special. Thank you so much!
