About this property

Tranquil Lakefront Cottage Near Acadia Nat’l Park.

Indulge in the feeling of seclusion from an expansive deck overlooking a peaceful lake away from the hustle of everyday life. Enjoy daily swimming in the lovely gravel bottomed swimming area at the foot of the hill, although there is no beach. Savor spectacular sunsets on the deck after supper. Cottage has 1 large kitchen/dining/living room with 2 separate bedrooms and one full bath which is outside on the screened-in porch. The front bedroom has a queen bed & lake views while the back bedroom has a forest view with a double bed. There is one large front deck, and 1 small screened in side porch.

I do use the cottage myself when not rented & I have a Siamese cat that I bring with me. Please be aware of this if you have allergies. :)
I was able to install fiber optic Internet at camp Summer of 2024 so I have unlimited Internet now. That means you can watch movies, YouTube videos or anything your heart desires on your own devices.

Also, I had my well water evaluated spring of 2024 & it passed the potability test with no problems.

There is no fire pit at the property as it is in the middle of the woods & an unnoticed spark could be a disaster.

Perfect romantic getaway

My husband and I stayed here for our honeymoon and it was perfect! This was our first trip to Maine and Cindy’s cottage was exactly what we were looking for. It was cozy, quiet, and had everything we needed. We enjoyed the nearby activities in Ellsworth, Bar Harbor, and Acadia NP as well as relaxing at the cottage and sitting on the screened in porch. Hearing the loons on the lake in the mornings and evenings was an added bonus! We would stay here again, highly recommend!

Cunningham Way

Our stay at the cabin was very relaxing, and Cindy was always a call or message away. The cabin was well equipped , just needed our personal items. The scenery was breathtaking with the pond and forest. Acadia Park was amazingly beautiful and Bar Harbor was also a short drive away.

Secluded but never isolated

What a perfect rustic property. It felt like returning home though it was our first trip to Maine. Beautiful views from the deck, great kayaking from the dock, and close enough to Ellsworth and Acadia to really enjoy the region when we could tear ourselves away from the lake. We barely knew there were other houses around but we never felt isolated. Just the right balance.

Very basic cabin

The bathroom is outside on the porch and not inside the cabin. There is no main heat throughout the house and the gas wall heater goes out constantly and the floor was freezing from lack of insulation under it. The place was clean.

Peaceful Cabin With Great View Of Lake

We enjoyed our stay at this lakefront cabin. Although the location is isolated, we enjoyed the peaceful setting, especially the large porch that overlooks the lake. The cabin was comfortable and spacious. The only drawbacks were that we had to use bottled water for all drinking (as the well water had not passed inspection) and we were instructed to limit WiFi use due to data restrictions. Both of these limitations were not disclosed in the listing for this property, neither at the time we reserved it for our stay nor at the time of this review. We were only informed of these restrictions by direct e-mail shortly before our stay.

Patten's Pond Stay

The property is extremely well maintained and has all the necessities for an extended stay. The lake is beautiful and Cindy kept the lake water just warm enough for us to enjoy swimming. The property is conveniently close to a convenience store and two towns with bigger stores if anything more is needed. We recommend at least one visit to the Dairy Port ice cream store in Bucksport. Of course, we mean at least one visit per day. We had a great time and will try to stay again during our next Maine visit. The Taylors

Peaceful week on Patten Pond

The cottage is nicely located on a terrace above the pond. It has a beautiful deck partly shaded by tall white pines. There is a natural stone path down to the excellent dock on the pond. (The steps might be hard for seniors or small children). The kitchen is nicely equipped for cooking light meals. The bathroom has been recently updated and the washer and dryer are excellent. The bedrooms, like most cottages, small but both have closet space and drawers for clothes. Access was good and plenty of parking for up to three vehicles. We relied on our cellphones for internet access and reception is excellent, but the wifi limited to a hotspot is very sketchy. Cindy was very easy to communicate with and provides good instructions on most items. We had an excellent week touring local site and eateries and found the cottage met our needs. We would stay here again. Thanks Cindy.

Peaceful, quiet and refreshing. A pleasure to call “home” for a week. Now throw in the nightly serenade of loons. Most definitely five stars.

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Hagerthy

I am a retired travel agent & have traveled the world. In spite of the many beautiful places I have seen, to me my cottage is equal to them all. I love Siamese cats, spinning wool, knitting & baking.

Why they chose this property

I inherited this cottage from my parents who built it themselves with help from neighbors & friends in the 1950's. I spent nearly every summer here as a girl, swimming & boating with my family & friends. It feels remote but is close to shopping & entertainment although I find that I hate to depart once I'm there & only leave for groceries.

The cottage is approx 25 miles from Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park, 20 miles to artsy Blue Hill, and within an hour of panoramic Deer Isle.

What makes this property unique

The cottage is on a hill overlooking the lake & is a small climb down to a gravel bottomed swimming area. There are few camps on this lake, so you will be unlikely to see very much of your neighbors. There is no public boat launch on the lake, so only bring canoes or kayaks that are light enough to carry down the hill yourself & back up again.
