About this property

Spectacular views, private boat dock, partial Air-conditioning, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, Long Pond Cottage is located on the shore of Long Pond; a glacially formed lake. The largest lake on Mount Desert Island boasts miles of shoreline and spring fed fresh water. Unobstructed lake views welcome you at our cottage. Privately owned shoreline and Acadia National Park share this pristine lake. Hiking, biking, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, swimming and water sports are out your front door. The cottage sleeps 6 with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a full kitchen, BBQ, a deck at waters edge and a private boat dock are all included. Our family cottage is fully equipped for your family's convenience, including cable tv and WiFi. We welcome clean well behaved dogs who will love camp as much as their human companions. Our kitchen includes new appliances; stove and cooktop, microwave, toaster, blender, coffee maker and normal kitchen utensils. There are two bathrooms with tiled showers (one has a shower bench). There is also a new washer and dryer. Canoe and kayak rentals are available on the Lake. Our private dock can accommodate all manner of watercraft up to 22 foot fishing boats with its bumpers and cleats plus a swim ladder for easy access to the water. The entrance(s) and access to Acadia National Park are a few minutes drive. Within the Park, historic carriage paths, hiking trails, horseback riding, biking, and miles of Maine ocean shoreline await your adventures. Close to Bar Harbor, Southwest Harbor, and Northeast Harbor there are many restaurants offering something for everyone's taste. Our family favorites are the fresh lobsters, lobster rolls and everything blueberry. Organic produce, in season, is available throughout the island. A treasure of the island located between Seal Harbor and Northeast Harbor is the Little Long Pond leash free walking and hiking area donated by David Rockefeller. Each day enjoy the spectacular views from the deck or dock. No matter whether you choose to tour the island of Mount Desert, shop in the historic harbor towns, participate in ocean activities, each day you will come back to find families of loons, ducks, and bald eagles awaiting you. Allow time for your canoe or kayak trip to Rum Island, watching the sunsets and sunrises from our deck, viewing the stars at night, and your afternoon swim in the lake.

Hidden gem on Long pond

Beautiful home right on Long Pond! Such a comfortable, quiet home. Communication with owner was above and beyond. Having everything on one level was so enjoyable- hard to find in Bar Harbor. Loved the individual thermostats. Furniture very comfortable and warm throws great for curling up to watch tv or sit out on deck. Kayak rentals at end of pond. Delightful vacation!!

Wonderful Cottage

We had an amazing stay at Long Pond Cottage despite a few days of dreary weather. The location is tranquil and relaxing, and we loved watching the activity in the water. We enjoyed hikes near the cottage as well as those on the other side of Mt Desert Island and the Carriage Roads for biking were very convenient. The cottage itself was furnished with everything we needed, and we were content to enjoy the games, puzzles & view on the rainy days. The quality of kitchenware was upscale, and a coffee and tea bar, as well as a speaker for playing music were an unexpected bonus! We appreciated Lori’s suggestions of activities, and she was terrific to work with as the island prepared for Hurricane Lee. We highly recommend this cottage!

Love Long Pond

House was brand new, clean as a whistle, and everything was just where you’d want it to be! Easy in and out, and a nice layout for friends or family… a pleasant central area with 3 bedrooms and 2 baths off it. Very well planned out and right on top of the lake with lovely views!

Perfection on (and I mean ON) beautiful Long Pond!

Everything about this cabin was perfect! It is situated right on the pond- you can hear the water lapping throughout the cottage! The cottage is spotless, comfortable, VIEWS abound and the kitchen is FULLY equipped. My family and I had the very best time hiking Acadia in the mornings then coming back to swim and paddle in the lake! We had coffee alfresco each morning on the lovely deck where we could see and hear the resident loons and give an occasional,"good morning," and a wave to the boaters and paddlers passing by. We spent lots of family time playing cards and board games on the deck and inside around the beautiful farm table. And the icing on the perfect cottage was that our host is a lovely person who was responsive, helpful and completely accommodating!
