About this property

Traditional Lakefront Cabin Located On Beautiful George's Pond

This traditional lakefront cabin located on George's Pond has everything you could want for a quiet, peaceful Maine vacation. Built in 1912, its rustic ambiance has all of the modern-day amenities without sacrificing the experience. Fall asleep listening to the loons sing and awaken to the sunrise watching eagles and osprey feed on the lake. This cabin is nestled amongst tall pines that will take your breath away. George's Pond is a 380-acre spring-fed lake surrounded by glimpses of Schoodic Mountain. This cabin sleeps 6-8 (Queen master bed, 4 twin beds in the lofts, and a double bed on the sleeping porch). We are minutes to Schoodic Mountain and Schoodic Beach which is great for hiking and swimming or a picnic on Donnell’s Pond. Schoodic’s summit is flat with 360-degree breathtaking views over Frenchman Bay and Mount Desert Island. The Downeast Sunrise Trail is a revamped railway with miles of trail for biking, hiking, ATV, or walking (see website for more information) just 3 minutes from the cabin. Schoodic Head is 30 minutes towards Winter Harbor and also part of Acadia National Park. There you will find beautiful hikes, a cute harbor town, and great ice cream and see some more of beautiful Maine. The cabin is 40 minutes to Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. There you can hike, mountain bike, shop the island boutiques, dine in Bar Harbor restaurants, go whale watching or grab a delicious ice cream cone. You can also play golf at the famous Kebo Valley course. Pick blueberries on your way home and make a cobbler or relax on the dock. We provide kayaks and life vests. There are multiple bike, kayak, and boat rentals available. Vacation awaits!

Peaceful

We had a wonderful week at George's Pond. The view from the cabin is gorgeous. The cabin is close to Ellsworth and Acadia but far enough away from the crowds for peace and quiet. We would stay there again.

Relaxing

The cozy cabin is beautifully decorated while keeping its rustic charm. The fireplace was a lifesaver as it was cold this past week. I enjoyed watching the wildlife and a family of turkeys spent the night in the trees around the cabin. Enjoyed our vacation here and recommend it highly

Amazing!!!

Our family of 6 (ages 82-11) absolutely LOVED our stay here. It is a beautiful cabin in a fantastic location. It’s small and rustic which was perfect for us. The kitchen was super well stocked. The stairs up to the lofts are steep but no trouble for our kids. The sleeping porch was a dream. Communication with the host was phenomenal - we had a few needs during our stay and she answered immediately.

Clean cozy cabin

We really enjoyed our week at George’s Pond Cabin. The cabin was very cozy, clean, and had everything we needed for our stay. We had a little hiccup at arrival with being locked out but between the property managers and the owners they made sure everything was taken care of. The kids loved the fishing and kayaking! We would for sure stay here again if we ever vacation in Maine again!

Peace-filled getaway

George’s pond cabin was a lovely little getaway. The cabin is cozy and clean and perfectly placed on George’s pond. Kids and family enjoyed the kayaks, fishing (sunnies, pumpkinseeds and small-mouth bass abound!). Short distance from everything you need and late August has THE perfect weather. Would recommend for groups who are staying less than a week (not many places to put clothes/belongings, and no washer/dryer to help keep belongings to a minimum).

Such a serene place to rejuvenate!

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, comfortable furniture and quality linens. We loved the bed on the porch! The location felt very private and was quiet. The pond had plenty of fish and we enjoyed watching the birds and squirrels. It was a little distance from Acadia, but worth the drive in exchange for the quiet. It felt like a retreat!

Fantastic Maine Camp

This was just the place to vacation with good friends! The camp has all you need for a summer getaway and more! Waking up to the sound of loons on the lake everyday was a treat! The pond is quietly active with duck families learning to swim and dive! And the sleeping porch is just a dream!

Great Getaway

What a wonderful and relaxing week to unplug and be in nature. The house was cozy and worked well for the two of us. Danielle was great at communication and even gave us some good insight about things like grocery locations. Acadia is close enough for day trips. It was the perfect blend of pond and ocean.

Heaven

We absolutely LOVED the cabin. The kayaking and diving board in the middle of the lake made for a very fun day of just enjoying ourselves at George’s Pond. The cabins distance from Bar Harbor and Acadia are perfect for day trips and then relaxing in nature. We ended each night with s’mores by the fire pit and listening to the water. This cabin is pure heaven.

Peaceful Lake

The cabin was clean. The location was conveniently located in proximity to a gas station, groceries, restaurants, and Acadia. There was minimal boat traffic which made for a relaxing and quiet week. The fishing was very good for August. My husband caught several good size fish off the dock.

Cute & Cozy

Our family of 4 enjoyed our week in early June at this quaint cottage on George’s Pond. We appreciated the yummy Blueberry Jam, Wildflower bouquet, beach towels along with bath towels, kayaks, private fishing dock, and fireplace in the cabin. It was chilly in the cabin, but we kept the fire going and found the extra blankets to keep us warm. The kitchen and bathroom are tiny, but effective. We enjoyed the peaceful solitude, trips to Schoodic and Bar Harbor. Ruth & Wimpys was one of our favorite places to eat just minutes from the cabin.

Sweet Cabin on Georges Pond

We had a wonderful stay on Georges Pond! The cabin was perfect with its privacy on the water and outdoor space. We loved kayaking and swimming everyday while also grilling and sitting outside. The space is very well-organized and nicely decorated. Very clean and had everything we needed! Danielle is a dream host and was very responsive during our stay. She is very knowledgable about the area and cares a lot for her home. Thank you so much Danielle-- We will be back for sure!

About the host

Host profile image
My husband grew up in Bar Harbor and spent his Summers as a boy going "upta camp" on Donnell's Pond which is just a few miles away. It was important to him that his son spend his Summer's the same way he did. We love George's Pond. It's our happy place.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with this property because its a traditional old historic cabin with the ladder up to the lofts and floor to ceiling fireplace. When you wake up in the morning in the master, you feel like you're in the lake. Friends and family who have visited report back that this is their kid's all time favorite vacation. And that's pretty special.

What makes this property unique

The thing that makes this property unique is that its incredibly quiet and peaceful yet close to the tourist attractions of Acadia and Bar Harbor. The only sounds you hear is the singing of the loons. It's a Summer dream!
