About this property

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, new (2016) home, 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, four kayaks, 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.

Great Lake House
We loved the location and seeing the sunrise and sunset over the lake. The amenities were out standing and the house was well equipped. We enjoyed eating breakfast on the deck and using the firepit on the patio. The only thing that I would say to improve is to blow off the patio and deck when airing out the house and to use air fresheners.

House on the lake
Our group of 6 enjoyed our stay at this beautiful property. The house has lake access with lots of water rafts, kayaks, canoe and a paddle boat. Great hiking nearby. Well stocked kitchen and lake views from all the bedrooms.

A house to come back to
We (2 families of 4 adults and 3 kids) really enjoyed the house on the lake. Perfect location in a quiet spot in the woods with a view on the lake, lots of space, well stocked kitchen, games and puzzles for kids and adults, outdoor cooking equipment, and even boating equipment to use on the lake! The owners have been very communicative and helped us sort through any questions we had quickly. They even gave us some money back as the house temporarily lost power during a storm while we were there, even though this was of no fault of theirs. We're hoping to stay in that house again when we visit Acadia next time.

About the host

Hosted by Tim McAllister

Host profile image
Our family has owned the property since 1971, when we built a log cabin on the site. Over the years we gradually added "amenities" like telephone, electricity and indoor plumbing. We had loads of wonderful memories in the place, but eventually it was in need of too many repairs, so we took it down and replaced it with a new house that was completed in 2016. We've spent many wonderful summers at this location, and always look forward to returning.

Why they chose this property

The location on Long Pond, the largest lake on Mount Desert Island, is ideal. We're the only house on a large cove; you can see houses across the lake, but none on either side of our property. The property is directly on the lake, and is surrounded by acres of woods. You'll definitely see ducks, loons, chipmunks and red squirrels, and you may well see deer on the property as well as bald eagles and other wildlife. This is a place with hundreds of activities to keep you occupied at all times, but it's also a place of great tranquility -- perfect for downtime to escape the hectic daily routine of work, school, etc.
