Host profile image
We're Maine Property Experts—a passionate, local team proud to call Maine home. From the rocky coastlines to the quiet forests, we know and love every corner of this beautiful state. Hosting allows us to share that love by helping guests experience Maine like a local. Whether it’s recommending hidden gems, ensuring a smooth check-in, or providing a cozy place to stay, we’re here to make your trip unforgettable. We genuinely enjoy welcoming guests and creating spaces that feel like a home away from home.

Why they chose this property

We chose Georges Pond Hideaway because it offers the perfect mix of peace, privacy, and classic Maine charm. Tucked away in a quiet spot on the water, the neighborhood is serene and surrounded by nature—ideal for swimming, kayaking, or simply unwinding by the fire pit. What we love most is waking up to the sound of loons, enjoying coffee on the deck with pond views, and stargazing at night without a single city light in sight. It’s a true escape, yet still within easy reach of Acadia National Park and other local attractions.

What makes this property unique

What makes Georges Pond Hideaway truly unique is its blend of year-round comfort and natural beauty. Unlike many seasonal camps, this home is fully insulated and thoughtfully equipped for all four seasons—perfect for cozy winter escapes or sunny summer adventures. With two full bathrooms (including a jetted tub), a private drive, spacious deck, and direct water access, it offers the ideal mix of relaxation and convenience. The peaceful setting on Georges Pond, paired with its proximity to Acadia National Park, makes it a rare gem for guests who want both seclusion and adventure.
