About this property
Tranquil Lakefront Cottage Near Acadia Nat’l Park.
Indulge in the feeling of seclusion from an expansive deck overlooking a peaceful lake away from the hustle of everyday life. Enjoy daily swimming in the lovely gravel bottomed swimming area at the foot of the hill, although there is no beach. Savor spectacular sunsets on the deck after supper. Cottage has 1 large kitchen/dining/living room with 2 separate bedrooms and one full bath which is outside on the screened-in porch. The front bedroom has a queen bed & lake views while the back bedroom has a forest view with a double bed. There is one large front deck, and 1 small screened in side porch.
I do use the cottage myself when not rented & I have a Siamese cat that I bring with me. Please be aware of this if you have allergies. :)
I was able to install fiber optic Internet at camp Summer of 2024 so I have unlimited Internet now. That means you can watch movies, YouTube videos or anything your heart desires on your own devices.
Also, I had my well water evaluated spring of 2024 & it passed the potability test with no problems.
There is no fire pit at the property as it is in the middle of the woods & an unnoticed spark could be a disaster.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Cindy Hagerthy
I am a retired travel agent & have traveled the world. In spite of the many beautiful places I have seen, to me my cottage is equal to them all. I love Siamese cats, spinning wool, knitting & baking.
Why they chose this property
I inherited this cottage from my parents who built it themselves with help from neighbors & friends in the 1950's. I spent nearly every summer here as a girl, swimming & boating with my family & friends. It feels remote but is close to shopping & entertainment although I find that I hate to depart once I'm there & only leave for groceries.
The cottage is approx 25 miles from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, 20 miles to artsy Blue Hill, and within an hour of panoramic Deer Isle.

What makes this property unique
The cottage is on a hill overlooking the lake & is a small climb down to a gravel bottomed swimming area. There are few camps on this lake, so you will be unlikely to see very much of your neighbors. There is no public boat launch on the lake, so only bring canoes or kayaks that are light enough to carry down the hill yourself & back up again.
