On The Rocks is located near Acadia National Park and Mount Desert Island.

On The Rocks provided the perfect quiet getaway for my fiancé and I! We didn’t mind the 30-45 minute drive out to Bar Harbor - there are so many fun stops along the way. The kayaks at the property are a plus, too! The house is very clean and had all the essentials.

The property was gorgeous and clean! Right on the water! We loved using thr fire

This is an excellent property, beautifully clean, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. We stayed for 5 nights during a road trip through New England. We used it as a base to explore Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and the Maine coast. We found the location perfect, about 30 mins drive to wherever we needed to go. It was extremely comfortable, peaceful and with the most incredible views over the lake. Very sad to leave.

Great stay, amazing lake front cottage, that was exactly as expected and more. Thanks for a great all round experience, I would stay here again for sure!

Spacious, well equipped, great location for toe visiting Acadia.

The house and location was fabulous!

The view was amazing and so peaceful and a perfect getaway from driving all day. Beds were amazing and just overall a great experience.

It was a little nirvana being in this cozy cabin right on the lake!!Thank you cabin owners for sharing your little piece of heaven with us!!

The cottage was very clean. The beds were really comfortable. The kitchen was very well stocked with everything to cook with. We didn't cook as we ate everything out. The lake view is beautiful with great sunsets. Loved it.

Once we found the right building, in steady rain, we were charmed beyond measure! The camp was cozy and roomy at the same time, and all amenities were provided. The pond is fabulously beautiful, at all hours of the day, and we never tired of taking in the changing light, the ducks gliding by, and the haunting calls of the common loons (quite uncommon to us). We couldn't use the kayaks as they were too heavy for mid-seventy-year-olds to pull back out of the water, but we more than compensated for that with the daytime activities (Acadia Park, Winter Harbor, Northeast Harbor) and lots of gorgeous hiking. The place is a complete winner, and we were sad when it was time to leave.

This property exceeded our expectations. Our only complaint was that we wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful, peaceful, close to nature. The included kayaks and fishing rods provided so much fun without having to leave the property. Thank you so much to the hosts!

Very nice place we enjoy it

The cabin was extremely well stocked and the lake views were amazing! Would highly recommend!

We really enjoyed how peaceful the area is. It was nice to relax on the dock looking out at the lake. Also, without light pollution, the starry night skies were gorgeous!

Perfect getaway. Far enough away to be quiet and peaceful while close enough to Ellsworth to allow for supplies, touring, eating out.

The propery was as discribed, but to be honest the steps to the dock were very unsafe, wrotten wood and the other thing was the internet. We had very poor video streaming, we would have to reset the computer 8 to 10 times per show. This made the tv unwatchable.

This is an amazing property. It’s also incredible clean and well maintained. It fits the description perfectly to a T. It’s a nice peaceful calming setting as well. Both of the hosts are very welcoming, and the instructions are also super simple and clear! I would recommend this to anyone and already want to come back!

Stayed 4 nights in July 2025. The cabin was very clean and everything was in working condition (didn't use stove though). A/C worked well and kept us comfortable. The large bed was very comfy. WiFi was great; we streamed Netflix several times with no issues. Neighborhood is BEAUTIFUL and very quiet & serine.PROS:The view is amazing! Sipping coffee while watching kayakers, boaters, loons, and even a bald eagle doing some fishing and bathing. Nothing better than that.Very clean cabin with pretty much anything you might need for cooking.Kayaks with life vests and oars. Very nice perk, we had a ton of fun on the pond.Quiet getaway in a very nice quiet area.Responsive host (via text)Good wifi for streamingCONS (very minor):Just a warning and very much out of the hosts' control - Google maps led us to the wrong property a few doors down, so be aware and look for the address on the trees by the road (don't trust online maps).There are no closets to hang clothes except an over-the-door rack (only one hanger), but there are dressers for folded clothes.We lost balance a few times and then noticed the floor of the cabin's main bedroom and hallway are not level, which threw us off when walking in those areas. The cons are not a deal breaker, but wanted to mention them. We had a wonderful time and would definitely visit again.

An amazing place to stay while we explored Maine. Secluded , quiet , super clean and comfy Loons right off the dock , lots of loon calls at night . Fabulous stars when it isn’t cloudy .

Great spot on the lake, easy access to Bar Harbor and other spots of interest.

Gorgeous property with plenty of fun activities to offer.

The house was cozy, super clean and the view was astounding! Kitchen had new appliances and was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans etc. Loved starting the day with a cup of coffee enjoying the view of the pond. Highly recommend.

On The Rocks was as beautiful as you can imagine fall in Maine would be! You literally are right on the lake, view is gorgeous. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything we needed, close to hiking and seeing the coastline of Maine. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Didn't want to go back home the cottage was so cozy and the pond so beautiful. Everything we needed was on site, clean & worked well. We ate at the owners' restaurant on Desert Island andenjoyed that too.

The accommodation was superior in every way. Great location, quiet and very comfortable furnishings.

Property was spotless, well-equipped and very comfortable. Easy to communicate with owner when we had a question. Easy trip to local areas of interest, yet felt worlds away from tourist bustle. We spent many tranquil and restorative hours just gazing at the pond and watching the loons.
