Modern Lake House on a secluded cove on Long Pond, Mount Desert Island!

Enjoy Long Pond and Acadia National Park at Long Pond Escape, a private home built in 2016, 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, five kayaks, three paddle boards, 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.

Note: the dock and swim float are in the water between May and early October, but will be taken in for the year in mid-October.

Peaceful Retreat

We had a wonderful stay with friends here. What a beautiful, peaceful place to enjoy friendship and nature. The property was even more beautiful than the pictures in the listing, and we had everything we needed for our stay. Check in and out was an easy process. I would highly recommend this place for a getaway to enjoy all that Acadia has to offer.

Another Amazing Stay

This was our 4th time staying here and it was just as amazing as our previous stays. The location is perfect - close enough to anything you might want to do on MDI yet you feel like you're the only people on the island when you're at the house. The kayaks, paddleboards, and dock are great for sunny days. We spent lots of time fishing, swimming, and paddling. There's plenty of space inside for everyone in our group (4 adults, 2 teenagers, and 1 toddler) to spread out and relax.

Wonderful home!

This home was beautiful, clean and comfortable. We have spent a week near Acadia National Park for many years and this home was our favorite. We found the setting peaceful and enjoyed the sounds of the loons on the lake. We enjoyed hiking, swimming, kayaking, paddle boarding and biking on the carriage roads. We would definitely rent this house again.

A fantastic stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The view, beautiful setting, and accommodations were outstanding. We are nature and animal lovers and had the opportunity to see and hear river otter, loons, owl, cormorant, deer, and ducks. We enjoyed kayaking, hiking, the fire pit as well as sitting on the dock and beautiful deck. The proximity to Acadia and the harbors was great and we loved staying on the quiet side of the island.

Wonderful lakehouse next to Acadia!

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.

Great house on MDI

We have stayed at many properties on MDI throughout the years and this one is hands down the best! The location is perfect - not too far from the Park Loop Road in Acadia or Bar Harbor, yet completely private. Long Pond is great for an early morning paddle, afternoon swim, or fishing.

Beautiful, secluded and serene setting. My family loved the opportunity for water activities: swimming, kayaking, and paddle boarding on Long Pond. At night we enjoyed S'mores by the firepit and listening to the loons. It was a lovely Maine getaway.
