ACADIA NATIONAL PARK: Acadia National Park: In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson set aside 6000 acres (within what is now Acadia National Park) as Sieur de Monts National Monument. With the acquisition of more land and private support and funding, in 1919 President Wilson signed an act establishing Lafayette National Park. In 1929 the parks name was changed to Acadia. Acadia National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, Maine's rock bound coast, its coastal and its offshore islands as characterized by the geologic features, natural history and the native plant and animal life. Forty five miles of rustic carriage roads weave around the mountains and through the valleys of Acadia National Park, the gift of philanthropist John D Rockefeller, Jr., and family. Rockefeller, a skilled horseman, desired to travel on motor free byways via horse and carriage into the heart of Mount Desert Island. His efforts resulted in roads with sweeping vistas and close up views of the landscape.
Cadillac Mountain: Cadillac Mountain: At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is not only the tallest mountain in Acadia National Park, but also the tallest mountain along the eastern coast of the United States. Rising high above the town of Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain offers magnificent views of the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. Explore the summit of this granite mountain along a .3-mile trail, which includes wayside exhibits about natural and human history. Portions of this trail are accessible to wheelchair users.

We can’t say enough about the stay at the cozy cabin, the lake is beautiful, plus not far from Acadia. We definitely would recommend staying here, next time we will stay for a week.
Thank you for making great memories!!
This property is charming, rustic and comfortable. Amazing lake view, perfect combination of camp, beach and lodge activities. Dining areas perfect for family dinners,
Was absolutely amazing. The house was spotless and the property was incredible. We had so much family downtime together just grabbing the kayaks, canoe or paddle boards and just relaxing together. It was exactly what we needed. Also the proximity to Acadia National Park and Stephen King's house in addition to the gorgeous views and sunsets from the screened in back porch made this the perfect respite. We will definitely be back again.
Cabin was great for our group of 4. Seating and spaces were perfect.Location is near Ellsworth and Bangor, but not too near.Lake was quite during our stay. Screened in porch was great in the evening. Boat rental option was nice.One note if you have small children stairs and balcony spindles have wider openings than new construction.
Our 2 week stay at the Greer lake property was wonderful! The house was clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. The cove was peaceful and a beautiful setting for morning coffee out on the porch and nights out by the fire. It was a quick drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, making it ideal for relaxation and adventure. Josh was welcoming and responsive, which made everything easy. We were able to rent a pontoon from Josh which made the experience that much more enjoyable. We had several sightings of an eagle and loons from the dock. The lake is clear and perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. We loved our time at lake and will definitely be a repeat customer.
Update log cabin. Great location on the Lake. So many views, places to sit and gather, and relax.
Loved the added welcome amenities by the owner. Wonderful place for a peaceful getaway and lots of lake activities. Comforts of home, yet simplicity of cabin living. Would return!
Location of the cabin worked well for traveling to Acadia national Park and Ellsworth 10 miles away. Had restaurants, and Walmart. Lake was very clear, good fishing from the dock and large Cove so for beginners at canoeing or kayaking this was ideal Even saw a fox early in the morning Great for birdwatching or painting a picture
This was our family’s first visit to Maine and won’t be our last. We hit the jackpot with this perfect property and property owner. Josh was attentive from the beginning and so kind. He showed us how to operate the boat and gave many local food suggestions. The camp was clean and just as described! Thank you for the lovely stay!!!
A great log cabin on a lake with all the amenities you will need!

Beautiful lake
….and Acadia only 1 hour away!
Owner was very responsive and left us with a great welcome package! Thanks again Josh!
We had a wonderful, relaxing and peaceful week. The screened in porch was the best for morning coffee, playing games or watching the kids swim! There was plenty of space for 2 teens and 4 adults. The sunsets on the lake are breathtakingly beautiful. Excellent communication with owner. Thank you for a great week
We spent a lovely July week at this lakeside log cabin home. The lake view was relaxing and beautiful, and we loved swimming and canoeing right out the back of the house. Started the day with coffee and a book on the dock. Ended the day paddle boarding at sunset. Our host Josh was very responsive to our questions and needs.
If you’ve seen the John Candy Movie The Great Outdoors and you wish to stay in a similar cabin, then you’ll fall in love with this place. There are very few cabins like this left to experience the up north feel and have the peace and tranquility that comes along with it. We had a blast playing games, fishing, boating, and exploring the area. We hope to come back soon.
It felt like this house was the perfectl setting for our family to make memories . We ate all our meals on the screened in porch, the nights were game night on the rug, little places inside and out to read! We swam in the very clean lake, and boated to small coves to explore…. or water ski in the big stretches. Look for the bald eagle nest. Easy trip to Acadia and Bar Harbor. Best hosts !!!
Wonderful stay in a well-kept ADK camp style home. Phillips lake is clean and clear. We were provided with a kayaks, canoe and paddle board and water safety gear. The screened front porch is a true treasure. Quiet neighborhood. Mutiple places on the property to sit and relax. Location allows for easy trips to Bangor and Bar Harbor. Very comfortable home for our family and dog. Highly recommend, one of the best rentals we have stayed in over the last 20 years.
My family and I enjoyed our stay in the beautiful, historic log cabin. The cabin had many modern updates, with a number of personal touches from decor to a welcome package. The location was amazing - beautiful spring fed lake and gorgeous sunset views. The owner was very pleasant and professional to work with. It was easy to rent a high quality and reasonably priced boat from the owner as well. Conveniently located within a 1 hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. My family and I felt very lucky to have found such a great vacation home! We highly recommend!
Great place to stay for U of ME graduation weekend
Plenty of private sleeping space for 6. Very quaint log cabin decor. Photos accurate. Bonus upstairs screened in balcony shared by 2 bedrooms. Nice space to grab a quiet minute or read. Stayed in April. Early in the season to really get to enjoy the lake. Docks not installed yet. Easy ride to Arcadia and Bar Harbour which was a nice way to spend a day.
Beautiful cabin and location! The fall colors around the lake made it the perfect fall spot. Less than an hour drive to Acadia and short trip to Bangor for restaurants, but still has that secluded cabin feeling.
At the cabin we took advantage of the kayaks, fishing poles, hammock, firepit, and appreciated the welcome goodies. The lake is amazing with crystal clear water. We also hiked up Mt. Baldy nearby for a great view overlooking the lake.
The cabin itself met needs well for a family of four. The only downside was that it was pretty cold in the cabin for most of the week. The heat pump didn't really keep up with the low temperatures. Wasn't a big problem for us, but bring plenty of warm/cozy clothes for indoors if staying in October.
Overall great experience and we're already thinking about coming back in the summer time!
The camp is fantastic. It’s a little bit modern and a little bit rustic. Very easy to get in and out of as the roads are paved leading up to it. The vintage look and feel is what Maine was all about in summers past, yet it has two bathrooms, laundry, a full kitchen and A/C. We spent one night on the large screened in porch watching as a thunderstorm passed over the lake. Close to Bangor and Acadia National Park, with a market and Dunkin Donuts less than 10 minutes down the road. The kayaks, canoe and paddle boards were a hit with the teenagers and the fire pit, with as much wood as you could burn, was amazing. Josh does it all when it comes to staying at his properties. I’ve rented for over 10 years in different places and him dropping off and picking up the boat is a huge timesaver. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the super clean lake and it’s surroundings. Thanks Josh
We spent three wonderful weeks at Greer Camp on Phillips Lake and truly didn’t want to leave. This 1920s cabin blends rustic charm with thoughtful modern updates and immediately felt like home.Our first week was peaceful—daily pontoon rides, swims with our dog Elmer, morning paddle boarding, and visits to Acadia, Bar Harbor, and local farmers markets. The well-stocked kitchen made it easy to cook with local ingredients and keep up my bread-baking routine. Our dog, Elmer LOVED the water and the pontoon rides.The lake’s natural beauty is breathtaking, with striking granite rocks and regular visits from loons. We even saw a turtle laying eggs in the driveway—a special moment we won’t forget.The next week two of my kids joined us for fishing, swimming, Acadia hikes/BarHarbor lunch...and a late evening cheesecake run to Momo’s in Ellsworth(open 24/7). Week three brought my in-laws, and we enjoyed slow mornings, paddle boarding (for me!) and floating in the lake... calm afternoons fishing, and just being together, grilling local lobster tails and other local fare.The cabin had everything we needed for a comfortable, extended stay. Leaving was hard, but we left feeling more certain than ever that Maine is where we’d like to build our forever home. Until then, we’ll gladly return to Greer Cabin—a peaceful, well-loved place perfect for making memories.
