Relax with the whole family at this peaceful place to stay in the Heart of Down East Maine.
Welcome to Donnell Pond House, our lakefront paradise on Donnell Pond, one of the best lakes in the State of Maine! Our 4 bedroom/ 3 bathroom brand new house is the perfect home base for your visit to the Acadia National Park region of Down East Maine. Located just a short distance from Bar Harbor and Mount Desert Island and Acadia National Park. You will have everything you need within reach.
Unwind and relax at our stunning all new construction house on the magnificent Donnell Pond. Drive down the private road to our lakeside paradise, perfect for family and friend getaways. Take in the sights of Donnell Pond and enjoy all that Down East Maine and the surrounding area has to offer including Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. Relaxation and adventure await.
Enjoy our open concept main floor complete with a dining room, eat-in kitchen, brand new appliances including an ice maker and laundry room. The living room features a gas fireplace for cool Maine nights. Gaze out the surrounding windows as the lake comes to life. Guests may stay on the main floor bedroom with full bath surrounded by woods and custom landscaping. Upstairs you will find two full bedrooms with lake views and one bunk room for the kids. Our loft offers a quaint space for the kids to play board games or wind down with a nice book equipped with a pull-out love seat. Our 3 full baths are complete with heated floors. Stay connected with Starlink high-speed internet and Wi-Fi and Smart TVs in the bedrooms and living room.
Continue the party outside, relaxing on lawn Adirondack chairs and beach loungers, barbequing on our Weber grill and making smores while stargazing around the fire pit. Wade in the crystal-clear water of the lake and fish off of our private 20 foot dock.
