About this property

Waterfront Home on MDI with direct access to Acadia National Park.

DIGBY LODGE and separate listing DIGBY STUDIO(HA 714406) are nestled within Acadia National Park with a 15-minute drive to Bar Harbor--you have direct access to Park trails, and Norumbega Mountain is directly across the reservoir (no swimming allowed). The trail around the pond is a leisurely thirty minute walk. The house faces west, and the sunsets are lovely. There is an expansive deck where you can read, rest or just watch and listen to very active loons and bald eagles.

Built in 1895, it is a Victorian that has a formal dining room and three working fireplaces. The kitchen has a six burner dual-fuel convection range. The dishwasher is in the pantry. There are two full baths upstairs; one with a wood rail antique copper tub, and the other with a modern steam shower. The basement contains two washers dryer sets presently set to wash colors and whites separately.

Amenities include two Samsung flat screen TVs . The living room also has Apple TV. There is good WiFi and a wireless printer. Cell phone service is generally excellent. There are canoes available. All occupants are required to have a personal flotation device ("pfd" i.e. a life jacket). Paddles and lifejackets can be found in the boathouse in the closet and drawers.

There is an owner's cottage where we stay, and "Digby Studio" (Home Away listing HA 714406) that sleeps 2 in the back. We are surrounded by Acadia National Park and do not have any neighbors. This is seclusion at its best.

Finally, know that we wipe everything down with Clorox, and we have installed hand sanitizer dispensers.. Also, should you desire a 24 hour time between cleaning and check-in, we will gladly accommodate you.

This was a fabulous VRBO
We stayed at Digby Lodge from Monday September 4 through 11, 2023. We had a fabulous time! The location was amazing. We were able to jump on the carriage trail right from the house. We were able to hike the trails around the Lower Hadlock Pond right from the house also. We were only 20 minutes from Bar Harbor, only 5 minutes from Northeast Harbor and 30 minutes from Southwest Harbor. The hosts Gabby and Frank are amazing, really endearing! They live right next door, but gave us privacy. They quickly resolved any issues we encountered. They provided wonderful books and ideas for exploring the area. We would stay with them in a minute. The house is very historic and gorgeous, very peaceful and serene. The bathrooms and kitchen were renovated, beautiful granite and upgrades.

A Very Special Place
This is a beautiful home in a very special place. The pond provides a peaceful, lovely view and a magical morning walk! We loved every minute we spent in Digby Lodge on Lower Hadlock Pond.

Outstanding and memorable
We had a wonderful stay - enjoying the beautiful home, wonderful views, peaceful setting and lovely hiking trails right out the front door. What made our stay extra special was the little attention to details - including very comfy beds, laundry baskets in each of the closets and thoughtful stocking of the medicine cabinet (ie.g. bandaids which were handy for a little scratch). Thank you Gabby and Frank for sharing such a special home and making us feel so welcome. (Fun note - our sons discovered many Pokémon GO stops near the house.)

Great house with direct access to the Nat. Park
My wife and I and our dog loved the house (spacious, cozy, clean, great porch). Great location embedded in Acadia with direct access to the teals and carriage roads. Very private being the only property on lower Hadlock pond

About the host

Host profile image
Hi! Gabby and I love Mount Desert Island, and those that love it too. This is a special place--come see for yourself.

Why they chose this property

This has been in the family for three generations. Grandmother purchased it in 1934, and had it painted pink in 1937.
If you want to be near all that makes Mount Desert Island so special, you can't do much better than being on Hadlock Pond. It is entirely possible to park your car and not use it for days, with so much nearby yet set off and private. A perfect spot for families to come together to cook delicious meals, quietly explore nearby trails, mountains and carriage roads and enjoy the abundance of offerings that has long defined Maine as the true "Vacationland".

What makes this property unique

Digby Lodge has world-class views of Hadlock Pond and nearby Norumbega Mountain. We are within easy hiking distance to the village of Northeast Harbor, making it safe and inspiring for all ages. You can explore the interconnected trails on the way. There is a 30-minute walk that takes you around the pond at water's edge and meets the trailhead for Norumbega mountain. If you cross the main road, there is the entrance to the carriage roads--great for long walks, biking to Jordan Pond house for tea and popovers or to Bar Harbor and/or Seal Harbor or for a longer rides up/down the mountains of Mount Desert. There is no limit to what you can do on this island; only limited by your own imagination.
