About this house rental

Enjoy Long Pond and Acadia National Park at Long Pond Escape, a private, new (2016) home, on six acres of woods located on a secluded cove on the northwest corner of Long Pond.

The first floor features bright, open living space with a fully equipped kitchen, island with 4 stools, a large dining table (seats 8), and a half bath and living room area with a wood stove. Doors open to a spacious deck facing the lake, and to a side screened porch. Master bedroom with queen bed and a 32" TV, and a master bath with glassed shower. The master bedroom has views of Long Pond.

Upstairs are three bedrooms: queen (also with a 32" TV), double, and one with a twin bed and a bunk bed (2 twins), and a full bath. All three upstairs bedrooms have views of Long Pond.

There is a finished basement with a family room with a 55" TV with blu-ray disk player and Roku player, a game room with a mini pool table, a full bath with shower. The laundry room is also on this floor. Double French doors open to a stone patio with a fire pit.

Head down to the private dock and enjoy a swim or paddle and discover the quiet side of Long Pond. A canoe, four kayaks, a row boat and a pedal boat are all available for your enjoyment. If you don't feel like swimming or boating, the dock is also great for sunbathing, reading, fishing, or just enjoying the view of the lake with Cadillac, Sargent, Beech, Mansell and Bernard Mountains in the background. You can also enjoy the loons and ducks that swim by every day, and on occasion you'll see great blue herons and bald eagles. On clear nights, the dock is a great place for stargazing -- see the Milky Way in all its glory.

Had a great time with the family. I highly recommend this property. We had fun with the water toys, exploring the area, fishing, campfires, etc. The lakehouse was within 30 min of pretty much everything on the island including Bar Harbor and Acadia.

Wonderful house, loved the seclusion, very peaceful setting!, enjoyed the song of the loons every night. House was well stocked, inside and out. Many water toys, paddle boards, kayaks, peddle boat, and canoe. Plenty of life preservers, and fishing poles. Proximity to Acadias many hiking trails was great. Bar Harbor was just a short drive. We would definitely rent this house again!

My family and I (ages 4-75) all enjoyed our stay on Long Pond. The house was clean and the sleeping and dining space was perfect for our family of 7. The seating in the living room was a little tight for all of us, but there was so much to do outdoors and the weather was great so there was not much time to sit indoors anyway! Most spots in Acadia were 20-30 mins away so it was a great jumping off spot for both the east and west sides of MDI. We especially recommend a sunset or sunrise hike on Beech Mountain (only about 10 mins away). There were plenty of boats and life jackets for everyone to get out on the pond and the dock is very peaceful for just relaxing. One small note is that we didn’t know to bring our own bath soaps, so we had to run out and get some. Not a big issue and overall we loved our stay and would definitely go back!

This house was a fantastic place to stay when visiting Acadia. The lakeside location and the available boats added to the comfort of the home. I think it's even nicer than the pictures showed!

Perfectly secluded pond house with dock and plenty of boats and beds for the whole family! The house is newer and yet retains charm. We loved hanging out by the wood stove and cooking in the kitchen, plenty of cookware and utensils are provided. The wood stove was prepped with kindling and wood which was a nice touch! There is no teapot so you'll need to boil water the old school way or use the Keurig with no insert if you want hot water for tea. The house was clean, though my wife can't sit still even on vacation and managed to find SOMETHING to clean while we were there lol. The basement area is a little musty but they have a dehumidifier running and Tim says they are working on a permanent solution to the problem. It wasn't a big problem for us, we kept the windows open downstairs while we were there and it was workable. Tim was very responsive to communication through the app and called us immediately after we reported a problem with the GFCI causing the gas stove to stop working (at 7 AM!). The location to Acadia and various points of interest is perfect, just far enough that you're away from crowds, but not far enough that it seems like a slog to get anywhere. It feels like an oasis. Overall, we loved staying at the pond house and the kids have already asked if we can return next year!

We loved the location and seeing the sunrise and sunset over the lake. The amenities were out standing and the house was well equipped. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the deck and using the firepit on the patio. The only thing that I would say to improve is to blow off the patio and deck when airing out the house and to use air fresheners.
