About this house rental

Situated on a very private rocky cove on Beech Hill Pond in Otis, Maine, the Golden Pond Cottage offers guests a unique slice of interior Maine lakefront.

This cottage is perched up in the pines and overlooks one of the most attractive, clear water ponds in Hancock County. The property's 2 acres provides two separate water access points, complete with docks, 1 canoe and 4 kayaks. Guests here will enjoy some the state's best fishing and swimming opportunities. Smallmouth bass and lake trout abound in this 1,200 acre pond and landlocked salmon are also routinely caught.

This cottage boasts sunset views, echoes of calling loons and a warm, cozy interior. The cottage is also a short 40 minute drive away from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, with all the wonderful sights, hiking and biking that Mount Desert Island has to offer.

The Golden Pond Cottage features three warm and inviting bedrooms, two full baths, cathedral living room, center waterside deck and spacious kitchen and dining area. The atmosphere here is pure country living, with an open interior, charming knotty pine walls and hardwood floors.

The centerpiece of the cottage is its cathedral living room with overlooking balcony, large gable windows and glass front fireplace. Its kitchen features a breakfast bar and water view dining area, and, like the living room, offers easy access to its center waterside deck through French doors.

Its large master bedroom features a queen size bed, and offers water and sunset views. Its guest rooms are cozy and decorated with country charm. One of the guest rooms offers a queen size bed and the other features a double bed. There is also a day bed provided on the balcony area for overflow sleeping. Also included are firewood, 2 TV's (YouTube TV and Roku), high speed Internet access, 2 cribs, 2 high chairs, washer, dryer, gas grill, linens, phone, paddles and life jackets. Guest's dogs are welcome here but smoking is not permitted in the cottage.

Beautiful camp situated in a perfect location that offers lots of privacy! The property is very well stocked and the only thing we looked for that they didn't have was a baby gate to block the stairs from our dog. Otherwise, they've thought of everything, and I could have packed a LOT less. We rent camps every year and they've never been as well stocked as this one. The lake is great for swimming and so clear. We will definitely look into renting again next year. We had 6 adults aged 19+ and there was plenty of room for everyone to sleep and spread out!

Everything as advertised! Incredible house/grounds/ lake facilities. Cool under the pines even on the hotest days! We had a great vacation. Our lab Bently luved it the best. Home now and he's depressed he can't swim all day. Fishing was great. Didn't get my "laker" but plenty of fishing fun. Hoping to come back '25!!

We enjoyed our stay on Beech Hill Pond! It was a great way to spend a week in Maine. The house had plenty of activities that kept the entire family busy. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the lake, fishing, and board games in the evening. While it was a bit of a drive, this is a great jumping off spot to go visit either side of Acadia. I enjoyed visiting Acadia, but welcomed coming back to the house for evening fishing and relaxation. Thank you for a wonderful vacation for my family!

Such a great house for a relaxing stay on Beech Hill Pond. Plenty of space for everyone to spread out. Of course we were there during the hottest weather in a long time, so it was a bit toasty in the house but the available fans helped with that. The quiet cove you’re on down at the water was beautiful. Would love to stay there again!

My family stayed for a week and enjoyed the accommodations very much. I enjoy being close to water when I'm on vacation and the views from the bedroom, living room and dining room were fabulous. Very much enjoyed the stay on Beech Hill Pond.

We loved our stay and the cabin was exactly what we were looking for. It is the most well stocked cabin we've ever stayed at. Fishing on the dock and hearing the loons day and night made it perfect.
