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.
Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this vacation home's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Acadia National Park.

Truly a beautiful place. Everything was pristine and well cared for. We went here as a trip for my father who had limited mobility, and it was very accessible (only a few steps to the front door). Staying here made the trip very special. Thank you so much!

The cabin is even better than advertised. Every time we turned around we were impressed with things we weren’t expecting to find. Very well stocked kitchen, amazing views from the shore and dock, plenty of activities to do just at the house. Tim, the host, is very quick to respond, super nice and accommodating. It is a very nice central location to everything you want to do on MDI. We absolutely loved our stay!!

This house was perfect. The VRBO photos don’t do it justice, it’s much better than the photos. It was clean, well stocked with linens, dishes, pots, pans. The dock on the water was magnificent for viewing the stars and beautiful scenery. There was easy access to Acadia and Bar Harbor.We loved it and would definitely pick this house for a return visit.

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.

Peaceful and Relaxing

This was the best vacation I have had in Acadia over twenty years. The McAllister home has everything and more. From checkin, the private dock, home fully equipped it was amazing. My grandsons had a blast on the water and the home was a respite for us as healthcare professionals. Beautiful and convenient location.

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.

This home was ideal for our girls getaway. It was immaculate and very comfortable. There was everything we needed for our stay. The location was perfect for a Maine lake house which was hard to leave to explore the rest of Mount Desert Island! But when we did it was very well situated to visit Acadia and Bar Harbor in only 20 minutes. We loved the quieter side of the island with minimal traffic and crowds. You will not regret staying in this beautiful home.
