This was a great location and space for our family to enjoy our week long vacation. Lots of places to eat and visit within driving distance. We enjoyed the peacefulness of being right on the water and all the activities that came with that.

Picturesque Home Base for Group

My family enjoyed the location, with beautiful views, sandy cove for the kids to play in, and access to Beech Hill Pond from the dock. The house offered plenty of space for our group to be comfortable and the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. The owner was responsive and easy to communicate with regarding the rental as well as the pontoon boat we rented from him. A good home base for a group looking to enjoy Beech Hill Pond, Acadia etc.

Rocky shore

One week at this house goes quickly! The setting is the highlight-some sandy beach, rocks to sunbathe on, lawn for playing, nice view from the deck. The family had fun times at this spot. The bridge to the floating dock is a bit wobbly for elders, but keeps life exciting.The campfires at night with the loons and the bullfrogs singing will be lasting memories. We rented a pontoon boat from Mike for a day which was a great way for the 10 of us to see the lake together. This location is a great place to make lasting memories!

Great Week at the Lake

We had a great time at Beech Hill Pond. The house had everything we needed and was well equipped. The waterfront was great, with a dock for the boat we brought for fishing, and room for the Pontoon Boat we rented from the host. It had a small beach, as well as kayaks and canoes.We spent most of or time outside, and evening around the fire.At the end of the day the house was a great place return too.Great week all around -- nice place to escape to.

Our family had a wonderful time at this lovely home. The lake views throughout the house were stunning, and the home was equipped with everything we needed. Everyone had a comfortable place to sleep, with an added bonus of 3 full baths to accommodate our large group. Our host, Michael, has been very responsive and easy to work with. My family is already talking about booking again for next year!

From Maryland to Maine

Our family had an amazing time at the lakeside home on Beech Hill Pond. We we were a party of 6 adults: my husband and I, our son and daughter in law, and our daughter and her best friend. The house was spacious and gave everyone time to be together while also providing separate spaces when we felt like being alone. The views from the deck were amazing! It was not far to drive to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and Schoodic Peninsula (a must see). Thank you for providing a great place for us to enjoy our time together as a family.

Perfect Family Vacation!

We spent a relaxing, fun-filled week in this spacious house that offered so much to do! We loved the pedal boat, canoe and kayak. Saw fireworks from the dock, swam, fished and enjoyed listening to the loons by the campfire. A good time was had by all 3 generations. Michael is an accomodating and responsive host.

Very Relaxing-

Stayed here for a week with two families ( 4 parents and 7 teenagers). Host was accommodating and helpful. Property had plenty for the kids to do and was close enough to drive into Acadia and Bar Harbor. Lots of space for the families to spread out to relax, play games, or swim. Water was crystal clear and out teens loved jumping off the rocks. Would be great for younger kids as well!

Wonderful time, wonderful host.

This is a wonderful property. The host was greatly attentive and friendly. The house is very convenient and a wonderful lakeside home, with many amenities. The fire pit was a great addition that my entire family enjoyed. Same with the fully appointed kitchen complete with lobster pots, flat propane grill for steaming (outside), butter dishes, shell crackers, etc.. Highly recommend getting fresh seafood from Dorrs lobster pound and preparing it on premises. Thanks again!

Wonderful stay

Perfect location, perfect stay, wonderful property. House was perfectly clean, and well equipped kitchen. Took full advantage of the provided kayaks and canoe, grill and fire pit. Kids were entertained at night by the extensive DVD collection. The adults enjoyed reliving memories looking through the LP's (though we couldn't get the record player to work - we still enjoyed by using the homes Wi-fi to listen to the albums via online services). Kids enjoyed fishing from property and having a private beach. Master bedroom was comfortable and spacious. Loved the deck access for morning coffee before the whole family awoke. My whole (extended) family just loved the house and our stay. Comfortable for all, and plenty of entertainment right in the home.

Amazing Location - Beautiful Lake

10 people, ranging 9-months to 70-years old stayed here on our annual family retreat, and with a few exceptions, all had an amazing time! The lake is absolutely gorgeous. Crystal clear water and tons of boulders just under the surface that both kids and adults enjoyed. The back yard was plenty spacious for activities and relaxing, and the sandy beach was perfect for kids. Driveway comfortably fit 3-4 cars, and the view from the deck was perfect. Acadia & Bar Harbor are an easy drive for day trips! However - We arrived to find wet laundry in the washer. The loft beds were unmade and missing pillows. The sliding doors and screens to the deck were extremely difficult to open/close - even for adults. The propane tank ran out 2-minutes after lighting the grill the first time, and the backup tank had a significant leak from the relief valve. The freezer door ice dispenser was missing, preventing top shelf items from freezing well (keep your ice cream down low). The basement bunk room flooded - two separate nights, soaking kids bags left on the floor and ruining some items. The kids woke with sore throats, and after the second flooding we didn't feel comfortable sleeping down there due to the air quality. Michael, the owner, was very responsive, and accommodating when able. Overall our trip was very nice - mostly due to the water frontage and remote location. I would recommend this property to anyone who prioritizes those features over the minor issues noted above.

Our group of 6 adults and 6 children loved this spot! Much time was spent on the dock swimming, lounging, and fishing. The location on Beech Hill Pond is great, and we found it relatively quiet, especially during the weekdays. Also, a quick drive to Ellsworth. We will be back!

Why they chose this property

.I have so many repeat renters. This is because they love the house property and location
My property is close to an acre all on the water. I’m set back in a few feet. there’s plenty of sunlight as the sun goes around the house. There is sunlight on pile of the house all day long.. As far as Lakefront property, this is one of the best on the lake.

What makes this property unique

The house has this beautify lake and Yard to just lounge and hang out at. With hiking trails near by, as is Ellsworth and Acadia National Park. there is a very large deck overlooking the water. The master bath has a large sliding glass door opening onto the deck as so, does the great room. Lucky enough to have a convenience store/liquor store 1 mile up the road Otis General. The food is awesome. The people are friendly.
