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 views of the lake, clean, well appointed, was well stocked w everything you needed. LOVED having a wood stove to make cold or rainy days cozy! They had plenty of firewood available to use. The views from all the windows awesome. Beautiful porch w gas grill available. NICE hammock! Wonderful canoes and kayaks available to take out on the lake which i loved. Enjoyed the wildlife: loons, mallards, otters. The cottage was comfortable. Books to read, games to play, kitchen well stocked w anything you possibly needed. The host always available to answer questions and responded quickly. Thank you sooo much for an awesome week at your lovely lake house! LOVED my whole experience there!

    Golden Pond was a cottage that was thoughtfully stocked with the needs of its guests in mind. The cottage was very clean and bed was comfy.If you like treehouses, this is the place to go. The lake is visible through the trees from the master bedroom. Windows and glass doors bring the inside in.It is an hour drive from Acadia National Park, and 30 minutes from Ellsworth.

    The property was in an amazing location. Very private but not far from scenic areas and hiking. Kayaks, life jackets and a wonderful deck on the water as well as off the home itself. The house was very well stocked with everything we needed. Lots of room for 4 adults and a child. Had a wonderful family vaca!!

    The house is cozy and well supplied. The water is crystal clear. The traffic on the water was slow to non-existent during our stay. The location of the camp on the water is private and quiet compared to most of the other camps/houses.

    The cabin is beautiful and the area is very peaceful. It's about an hour to Bar Harbor. The cabin has everything you need and would want. Being on the lake for us was perfect! We will be visiting Maine again in the summer and hopefully staying in this cabin!

    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!
