The Dock is the place to be!

Loved this property! It was just as pictured and the dock was the best place to be! Coffee and reading every morning while my husband fished--it was heaven!

Family Get Away

My family needed a vacation to disconnect from the world and this was perfect! Everything was relaxed and natural. The water was beautiful and fun! Close to Acadia to fill the morning with activities, as well.

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.

What a relaxing getaway

Perfect location for a quiet getaway to the Maine coast. Acadia National Park is about 30 minutes away. Rustic cabin was the perfect setting for peace and quiet. Beautiful lake with dock, kayaking available. Host was very informative, gracious and accommodating. Absolutely loved it.

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!

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!

Sweet cottage with natural charm. The location is perfect as it offers a sense of seclusion given the trees blocking out neighbors. Quiet lake with loons and eagles. A perfect spot to refresh and restore! Love it.

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.

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.

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).

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!

Peaceful

We really enjoyed our getaway to this cabin on George's Pond. We fished, went kayaking and went swimming. In the evenings we started fire in fireplace and played card/board games. The view from the cabin and dock is so beautiful and serene. Our only complaint would be we wished the bathroom was bigger - its very tight. Danielle the owner was very responsive when we had questions. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Perfect pond trip

Exactly as pictured. Responsive and helpful owner gave terrific advice via text on the day before and of our arrival. Loved the kayaks, dock, porch, deck, games and jigsaw puzzles, plus the loon and bald eagle spotting. Neighbors on both sides are relatively close but neither were present during our visit, so it was mercifully quiet - minus the passing motorboat/jetski here and there. Great opportunity for our family to unplug and unwind as cell reception was weak and the house wifi wouldn’t connect to our devices (thank goodness!!! we really needed a break).

I’m so glad you had a great stay. Our cell phones work well at the cabin. We have AT&T and Verizon so maybe it depends on your provider. I wish you would have let me know you had trouble connecting to the internet, I would have helped you troubleshoot. But it sounds like it was nice to disconnect for a few days. We love it!
