Lakefront Home Near Acadia National Park: Dock kayaks paddle boards & swim raft

Great property! Very clean. Gorgeous lake views. Wonderful host, very responsive.

Nice and comfortable accommodations, loved water view and access with use of kayaks. Kitchen well stocked and ate in many nights.Good location, within an hour of airport, Acadia and other points of interest. Nearest main town less than half hour with supermarkets and restaurants. But loved that is was more isolated.

What a beautiful place! Easy 45 minute drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. We loved being able to come back and just relax without all the hustle and bustle! Ellsworth is close by and has a great selection for places to eat. There is also a Walmart if you want to make your own food. Communication with the host was excellent and we felt like we had everything we needed at the house.

Well appointed home and great location. We enjoyed our stay very much!

This place was incredible. We stayed the last week in August. I was skeptical with the location being not on Mt Desert Island, but it ended up being perfect and centrally located to everything we did. Schoodic Point, Acadia, towns of Bucksport/Belfast/Camden/Rockport and some other local hikes. The owner has a great book with local recommendations!The house was the perfect place to wind down after day of hiking and do some fishing and kayaking and paddleboarding as the wind died down on the lake in the late afternoon and water was warm. We finished a few evenings with a fire in the huge Solo stove and did some stargazing where you could see the Milky Way with no moon the week we stayed. This place was the perfect place to stay and relax. The lake is clear and peaceful. When we come back to Maine we will definitely stay here again. 10/10.

We had a wonderful week on the pond. The house was clean, well cared for, and equipped with all the necessities and materials, as well as kayaks and other great things for being on the water. Very easy check in with good communication. Awesome place for our family of four.

We absolutely loved our stay here!! Paul is a wonderful host, easy to communicate with, and prompt with responses. The home is beautiful and the amenities are perfect. We definitely would stay here again in the future.

Had a great time on George's Pond! Paul was a wonderful host, and everything you could possibly need was provided. He was quick to respond to any questions, and even checked in on us to make sure everything was going well. The house was lovely and views spectacular. After spending long days in Acadia Nat'l Park and/or Bar Harbor it was nice to return to such peaceful surroundings. Thanks again, Paul!

This is the perfect home base - close to everything this area has to offer but away from the crowds. The pond is so peaceful and inviting. The house is comfortable and has everything you need. Paul is super helpful and attentive. That's why we returned a second year in a row! Love it!

Family vacation to Maine, 4 adults. The house was very comfortable with a gorgeous waterfront view. We drove from NJ and had everything we needed, but the house was well stocked with the basics to get anyone started, such as k-cups, trash bags, paper towels/toilet paper, hand and bath soap. Linens and towels provided. I had packed beach towels, but I do believe there were beach towels available as well. Beds were all in new condition and very comfortable. Smart tv on each floor with many apps available to login. Wifi in the house was strong. Multiple kayaks on sight and we enjoyed a morning tour of the lake before heading to the park/Bar Harbor.Primary reason for the visit was to visit Acadia National Park. We wanted a waterfront location away from the main tourist locations, but close enough for an easy drive. Georges Pond House was perfect. 30-35 minutes to Bar Harbor, 40-45 minutes to Acadia. Even closer was 15 minutes to Ellsworth which also had a lot of restaurant options. Easy scenic drive. The waterfront view and peaceful surroundings were absolutely worth the drive to Acadia.The owner, Paul, was very welcoming and responsive to my messages prior to checking in, as well as a quick message to let him know we arrived. No other communication was necessary, we had zero issues. Highly recommend this property.

We enjoyed our stay at the Lakefront Home on George’s Pond. We especially enjoyed kayaking around the lake with the provided kayaks. The Eagle and Loons let us get very close in the kayaks. My husband spent many successful hours fishing in the lake both off the dock and from the kayak. The beds were very comfortable, place very clean, and great double shower heads in the upstairs bathroom. Thank you for sharing your home with us. We found a new favorite restaurant in Bass Harbor called Seafood Ketch. Pirate Mini golf was a favorite family event followed by Udderly Heaven homemade ice cream.

We had a great time at Acadia National Park. The lake house was clean and comfortable. No complaints at all.

We had an amazing stay here at the end of October. The views in the morning and at night were breathtaking. It was so easy to communicate with Paul and the check-in was seamless. We arrived later and all the lights were left on for us - which made it easy to find in a secluded place. The beds were so comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed. We enjoyed our six day stay here - we did Acadia by day and then just relaxed at night. If we come back to Acadia, this is our top choice!

Beautiful view, nice house, comfortable beds. The owner Paul was very responsive. If you want to go into Bar Harbor or Arcadia, the drive is a long way and it takes a good hour to get there from this property. The house doesn’t afford any privacy because of the openness of the lofts area. Also, there are no good restaurants nearby or grocery stores. Cell phone service at this property is very poor for those who like to stay connected. And in the fall, you cannot see the sunset from the dock it’s hidden behind the trees, which is one of the reasons why I rented this place. So if you just want to stay on the lake in the summer, I would recommend this place.

This property is in a beautiful location. It is right on the water with a dock. There are kayaks and fishing poles available. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything that you might need.. The rental was spotless. Paul responded to any questions promptly. The property was very easy to find and is in a safe, quiet location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can't wait to return.

We enjoyed our stay on George's Pond. It was very comfortable with lovely views. The kitchen was well equipped and Paul was a great host. A perfect place to kick back or explore the surrounding areas.

Close to Bar Harbor and Arcadia but NOT to close. Situated on the world’s quietest pond/lake. Has everything you need or would want.

We enjoyed our stay and wished we’d stayed longer. The setting is outstanding and sunsets over the pond were beautiful every night. The house was well equipped and the host was very responsive and accommodating. The 40 minute drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor was a little longer than we’d prefer, but the location on the lake more than made up for it.
