About this property
Glenwood - Private Spacious Home, 4.7 miles from Acadia, walk to Pond
Glenwood Pond Cottage was rebuilt in 2017-18 by 30-year island residents. The cottage sits nestled in a pinewood forest off a private dirt road, located just 4.7 miles from the entrance to Acadia National Park. Perfectly situated centrally on Mount Desert Island, the house gives easy access to Acadia National Park, the popular tourist town of Bar Harbor (6 miles), and the "quiet side" of Mount Desert Island, including the villages of Northeast Harbor and Southwest Harbor.
With 3 upstairs bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms the house can easily accommodate up to 6 people. Oak hardwood floors, a large enclosed morning sun porch, new stainless steel appliances, and new mattresses ensure a comfortable stay.
The house is privately located, with no other homes in sight and guests can enjoy a visit to Frenchman's Pond, just a short walk away, where Canadian geese nest annually, a beaver has made residence, and where frogs, turtles, deer, and songbirds make regular appearances.

A message from the owners - Having lived on Mount Desert Island most of our lives, we can say that it is sometimes easy to take for granted all that we have here. But when we begin to describe all that the Island has to offer a visitor we remember just how lucky we are to live here. The mountains, the sea, the woods, lakes, and the people make this one of the most unique and enjoyable places we have ever known. We hope you will take full advantage of what Mount Desert Island has to offer your visit.
