This is an excellent property, beautifully clean, tastefully decorated and very well equipped. We stayed for 5 nights during a road trip through New England. We used it as a base to explore Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park and the Maine coast. We found the location perfect, about 30 mins drive to wherever we needed to go. It was extremely comfortable, peaceful and with the most incredible views over the lake. Very sad to leave.

Picture perfect location!

On The Rocks was as beautiful as you can imagine fall in Maine would be! You literally are right on the lake, view is gorgeous. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything we needed, close to hiking and seeing the coastline of Maine. We enjoyed our stay very much!

Once we found the right building, in steady rain, we were charmed beyond measure! The "camp" was cozy and roomy at the same time, and all amenities were provided. The pond is fabulously beautiful, at all hours of the day, and we never tired of taking in the changing light, the ducks gliding by, and the haunting calls of the common loons (quite uncommon to us). We couldn't use the kayaks as they were too heavy for mid-seventy-year-olds to pull back out of the water, but we more than compensated for that with the daytime activities (Acadia Park, Winter Harbor, Northeast Harbor) and lots of gorgeous hiking. The place is a complete winner, and we were sad when it was time to leave.

This place was absolutely fantastic! The view of the sunset on the lake was beautiful, if we wanted to just stay at the house there was plenty to do. The owners were helpful and gave us all kind of suggestions on places to visit and things to do.
