Stayed here for six days in August. This lovely home far exceeded our expectations. Very quiet, secluded. Beautiful sunsets over the lake. Centrally located to many of the places we wanted to visit. The home had everything we needed for a great vacation. Kids had a blast swimming in the lake and kayaking. We highly recommend and will definitely rebook on any future visit!

We had an amazing stay on Mount Desert Island and can’t wait to return! The location was perfect—close to everything but private enough to feel completely separate. The swimming pond was incredible, and watching the deer, loons, and an eagle fly over at moonrise was quite the show. We brought our adult children, and while the bedroom layout is cozy (think The Waltons goodnights), there was plenty of comfortable space for everyone. Thank you to the owners for sharing this wonderful place!

Very nice house on an amazing lake

Very nice house on an amazing lake. The lake is truly incredible. My whole family agreed that we could’ve spent more time in this area with the lake and the national park next-door.

Quiet, Peaceful, Perfect

We fished every day and enjoyed the peaceful call of loons. Enjoyed family dinners and time together relaxing. This cottage is in close proximity to the park and we enjoyed the nearby hiking trails and biked the carriage roads. Thank you for such a wonderful stay!!!

Family Vacation

Perfect for families. Quiet, peaceful, clean, close to everything! My young men of 22, 18, and 13 loved it! We spent quality, electronics free time together😁. Game nights, kayaking, hiking, enjoying the peace and quiet of the lake. Kitchen had everything we needed for cooking. It was perfect. Communication, ease of check in, house rules, everything. 5 stars.

Stay here if google to Acadia

This place was close to everything you want to do near Acadia. Beds were very comfortable and the house was very private. We thoroughly enjoyed coming back home everyday after a long day of hiking ! Views were great also!

Didn't want to leave

This property is the perfect place to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. It is in a prime location on the island to do day trips to Bar Harbor or Acadia. It's tucked away from the main road, which makes it a peaceful place to unplug and unwind. The house was well stocked with all of the amenities of home, including board games and DVDs for rainy days. During the day, the dock is the perfect place to swim, fish, or launch a kayak. In the evening, it's the spot to watch the sunset, listen to the call of the loons, or stargaze. Heaven!

Endless summer fun!

Steve was a very helpful host who answered questions promptly and saw to a fix within a matter of hours of a faulty water heater. The house has a beautiful location with a large dock on a clear mountain lake with sunset views. Acadia National Park and Mt. Desert Island offered more than we could do in an entire summer. We'd definitely stay again!

beautiful lake in a great area of Maine

Hi Steve , We really enjoyed everything in SW Harbor , Long Pond , and Bar Harbor . The lake views at the house , sitting on the deck are perfect in the morning and late afternoon . The layout of the house is a little strange so definitely need to vacation with family or people you know super well since the upstairs guests have to come down into the downstairs bedrooms. The main thing that I would recommend is newer sheets/linens and towels . They were a bit worn and the fitted sheet for the upstairs had no elastic so kept coming undone . There were a few lights that did not work . Also would have been nice to use the BBQ.

Hi Ada Glad you had a good stay at the camp. The layout is odd, as we mention in the description of the house. Thank you for the feedback on the linens we will be investing in new ones for next season. Not sure why you couldn't use the BBQ, can you please let me know why you couldn't use it so future guests don't have the same issue. Steve

A perfect location to visit Acadia National Park.

My family and relatives spent a week at Steve's property Northwood on Long Pond. It was a perfect combination of close proximity to the park, Bar Harbor, Cranberry Islands while being able to retreat to a beautiful view, porch and dock with gorgeous sunsets, sound of loons, swimming in pond. Steve was responsive and helpful with suggestions and tips before and during stay. House was comfortable with all amenities. A broken sewer pipe caused some distress, however this was fixed quickly. I can highly recommend Northwood as a vacation stay.

Great Memories that will last a lifetime

The house is amazing! Every morning was spent on the dock with kayaking. Close to the carriage road for bike riding and hiking. Spent evenings either at dock or at Bar Harbor. Such a great vacation, great house, great location! They even had 3 kayaks for us to use, so we only had to bring one. I would definately rent this house again!!!
