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.

Fall 23 family Vaca in Maine

The house we stayed in was perfect. The view of the lake was so wonderful especially at sunrise. It had everything we needed! Lots of room for 12 of us but yet cozy enough to be together! Owner was quick to respond when WIFI went out. Little bit of a drive to Acadia and other locations of interest but the scenery this time of year was beautiful!

The house is very nice. Updated kitchen, all the bedrooms where a good size and the beds where all comfy. We had 9 adults and a dog and there was plenty of room for everyone. The view from the living room was fantastic. I would highly recommend.

Just beautiful

We fell in love with this home and it's location. There were 8 of us and have been to Maine many times.We had plans to go site seeing, but once we got to this home those plans changed quickly. We decided just to relax and stay there the whole week. We only left to run into Ellsworth for groceries. The General store is also a great source for last minute items and their pizza is pretty darn good. Lord willing we will be back.

Birch Hill Pond

This is a lovely house on the shore of Birch Hill Pond. Very clean, very well-appointed. Had nearly everything we needed. (could use a sink stopper and towel racks in the lower bathroom). We had four generations with us for a college graduation. The upper level was perfect for the 92 year old. The dock wasn't up when we were there but the lake was too rough to use the kayaks anyhow. We used the firepit and the fireplace indoors every day. Very relaxing spots to watch the loons. This was a great place for a family gathering! We would love to go back.

When we stayed (late September) it was incredibility quiet on the lake, except for the sound of loons. We had one very minor issue, reached out to the owner and it was addressed almost immediately.

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.

This was an incredible stay for all 10 of us and the dogs. The house was spacious and the backyard was amazing. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We spent a lot of time just in the water. We also had to contact the host a couple times and he responded each time within minutes. We also got married in Acadia and we ended up doing our first look photos on the dock because it was so pretty. I would definitely come back here!

We had a great stay in Otis! We enjoyed the lake, the canoe and kayaks, the loons with their calls and several visits from a bald eagle. We also rented a pontoon boat - a great week for it. The lake is huge and the area is very peaceful. The neighbors were all friendly on morning walks.While we had great days and nights in Otis at the camp, we also enjoyed Acadia with a few hikes and Bar Harbor for a few dinners. Finn's in Ellsworth was fairly close and we had a great meal there as well. The house was super clean and comfortable and the property had everything necessary for a comfortable stay. Josh was very responsive!!

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.

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!
