About the host
Hosted by Tim McAllister
Our family has owned the property since 1971, when we built a log cabin on the site. Over the years we gradually added "amenities" like telephone, electricity and indoor plumbing. We had loads of wonderful memories in the place, but eventually it was in need of too many repairs, so we took it down and replaced it with a new house that was completed in 2016. We've spent many wonderful summers at this location, and always look forward to returning.
Why they chose this property
The location on Long Pond, the largest lake on Mount Desert Island, is ideal. We're the only house on a large cove; you can see houses across the lake, but none on either side of our property. The property is directly on the lake, and is surrounded by acres of woods. You'll definitely see ducks, loons, chipmunks and red squirrels, and you may well see deer on the property as well as bald eagles and other wildlife. This is a place with hundreds of activities to keep you occupied at all times, but it's also a place of great tranquility -- perfect for downtime to escape the hectic daily routine of work, school, etc.
While you can enjoy peace and quiet at the house, when you crave other activities, it's a short drive to Acadia National Park, Bar Harbor and all of the other villages on Mount Desert Island. Southwest Harbor is about a 15 minute drive; Bar Harbor and Northeast Harbor are about 20 minutes away, as are the entrances to Cadillac Mountain and the Park Loop Road. The nearest Acadia National Park facilities are the Pretty Marsh Picnic Area and Beech Mountain, both of which are only 5 minutes away.

What makes this property unique
There are many homes available to rent on Mount Desert Island, but very few offer the feeling of "getting away from it all" that you'll experience at Long Pond Escape.
