About this property
Waterfront Home on MDI with direct access to Acadia National Park.
DIGBY LODGE is 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.
Amenities include two Samsung flat screen smart TVs . The living room also has DirecTV. There is hi speed 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 closet and drawers of the boathouse.
Behind the main house is the owner's cottage where we stay. We are surrounded by Acadia National Park and do not have any neighbors. This is seclusion at its best.

About the host
Hosted by Francis Baltzell
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.
