Acadia National Park: Acadia National Park: In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson set aside 6000 acres (within what is now Acadia National Park) as Sieur de Monts National Monument. With the acquisition of more land and private support and funding, in 1919 President Wilson signed an act establishing Lafayette National Park. In 1929 the park's name was changed to Acadia. Acadia National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, Maine's rock bound coast, its coastal and its offshore islands as characterized by the geologic features, natural history and the native plant and animal life. Forty five miles of rustic carriage roads weave around the mountains and through the valleys of Acadia National Park, the gift of philanthropist John D Rockefeller, Jr., and family. Rockefeller, a skilled horseman, desired to travel on motor free byways via horse and carriage into the heart of Mount Desert Island. His efforts resulted in roads with sweeping vistas and close up views of the landscape.

Cadillac Mountain: Cadillac Mountain: At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is not only the tallest mountain in Acadia National Park, but also the tallest mountain along the eastern coast of the United States. Rising high above the town of Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain offers magnificent views of the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. Explore the summit of this granite mountain along a .3-mile trail, which includes wayside exhibits about natural and human history. Portions of this trail are accessible to wheelchair users. Cadillac Mountain is accessible via a winding, narrow, 3.5-mile road. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.

Beautiful, peaceful location for a family vacation. The lake is clean with lots of fish and so quiet we could hear the loons at night. The house is perfect for a large group with comfortable beds, lots of hot water and linens and is also very well equipped for fun on the lake and family meals in the evening- we had everything we needed for a week’s stay. The house is a convenient distance to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We were also really touched to see the gift basket left by our hosts. This is definitely a place we would want to stay at again.

The home and lake were perfect. The owner has such attention to detail, all the supplies you would ever need. If you need it -it’s there! Can openers…every size pot or pan.. hand towels to fresh hand soaps! It’s like a resort! Lake was great size for tubing or water skiing clean not mucky. We rented a boat from the owners and loved it. Don't miss the jump rock for easy fun. So close to Cadillac Mountain -book a reservation to the summit at sunset and stay for a star filled evening. The teenagers even stop staring at their phones to watch meteors and shooting stars.

Amazing Home

House was perfect for our family of 8. Not only was the house amazing, the canoes, kayaks, fire pit—long story short, the outside amenities were also perfect for our family and we spent a lot of time outside enjoying them. Highly recommend this house!

Great Spot with Amazing View

The house was amazing. Lots of room, comfortable beds, and an amazing view of the lake. It's in a quiet neighborhood and 30-40 minutes from Bar Harbor and Acadia. My only complaint is that there wasn't any body wash or shampoo. Other than that, the place was perfect.

Great stay!

Property is just as described. We stayed with adults, teens and children. We also rented a pontoon boat from the owner and used it to view the sunrise, cruise to the public beach and take the kids (and adults) to the lake's jump rock. Had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend and stay again!
