Don’t worry about hot summer days, as there’s AC that will keep you cool. Flat-screen TVs with DIRECTV and high-speed WIFI mean you’re not giving up the comforts of home while getting away.
Outside is a vacationer’s paradise. Adirondack chairs, a fire pit with firewood, a dock, swimming float, and stunning views of both the water and nearby hills make it the perfect place to take in the great outdoors.

Don’t let the name Chemo Pond fool you. The “pond” is actually a 3.5 by 1-mile pristine lake. Does Rover like to swim? Bring him along, too, as dogs are welcome at The James House.
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. Cadillac Mountain is accessible via a winding, narrow, 3.5-mile road. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.

James House was perfect for our family gathering. Beautiful home, peaceful and scenic. Loved staying in this fully equipped home. Couches and beds were super comfortable.
Perfect place for a graduation weekend. Even though it’s not real close to campus, about 25 minutes, it was well worth it. We have a large family plus invited daughters friends for a barbecue after the grads walked. Very roomy and well taken care of. Would definitely come here again
It was a quiet and beautiful place. It was not too far from Bar Harbor/Acadia National park. Family did a lot of kayaking (which came with the rental), fishing and swimming, The rental was very spacious. We had a great and relaxing stay.
The house was perfect for our family vacation! It’s often so hard to find something big enough for family to have enough space and this house was great! Also so helpful that it was dog friendly. Easy communication with the host. Only recommendation- if you’re sensitive to the taste of tap water, might want to bring some drinking water with you!
This is our second Greer family rental and I plan on coming back. Great service, having the boat waiting for you at the dock is amazing and really enhances the rental. Our little family made memories that will last a lifetime.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Weather didn't cooperate but we still enjoyed fishing, swimming, canoeing/kayaking/paddle boarding, and making s'mores almost every night! Property was clean, quiet, and comfortable. Ample supply of wood for the fire. Enjoyed reading my book, as I sat on the porch and listened to the rain and the loons.
Our stay at the James House was very relaxing. We had 3 generations and comfortably housed 7 of us. The layout was great, the kitchen was well stocked and the fishing on Chemo Lake was unmatched. We rented a pontoon boat from Josh as well and that process was smooth and seemed, allowing us to fish, tube and explore the lake daily. I would highly recommend. If you are not an early riser, I would be aware that there is a landscaping company located directly across the road from the house which did get busy and sometimes loud in the morning and again in the late afternoon. The property is in good shape and as advertised.
Our family had so much at this lake house. We went tubing, fishing, hanging out at the tiki bar and just plain funning around! Josh is an excellent host. Our boat lost its steering and he had someone over in minutes to fix it so we could continue the fun times. He is the best!
My husband and I stayed for the long weekend with our two dogs. Had such a nice time, weather was great. Lake house is very roomy with the perfect lake decor all around. Husband had a great time fishing off the dock and using the kayak. Really appreciated the clean lawn and not too many bugs around. Great fire pit to roast marshmallows on. Host was perfect with communication. Can't say enough great things. Hoping we can make the trip out here in the future!
Wonderful cabin on a beautiful lake. Would stay again.
The cabin was very spacious and nicely decorated. The bedding was very comfortable and seemed like new. The couches were very comfortable and arranged to get nice views of the lake. The kitchen had a nice selection of clean pots and pans and dishes. The grill was clean and had plenty of propane to use. The canoe and kayaks were fun to use and the life jackets were ready available and plenty of them. The fire pit had plenty of firewood provided and the s’mores material provided by the property were a welcomed and enjoyable surprise. We would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again as a first choice for the area.
This vacation was just what we were looking for.. A nice house on a quiet pond to relax with the family. The water was warm, clean, and the kiddos had a great time swimming & kayaking. We had an internet issue that Josh quickly addressed. An enthusiastic dirt bike rider & dump truck noise near the house was unfortunate.. but, we made the best of it and had a good week!
Perfect weather as well..TY
We had a large group (12) and the house accommodated us pretty well. The grandchildren (7) had a great time, most of it spent in the water or using the kayaks and canoes. The adults relaxed a bit but with plenty of attention on water activities. A few minor issues but those have been attended to by the owner. The only suggestion I’d have is a small game table downstairs for rainy day and night time use. The camp fire was used nightly. The lake was beautiful to observe all during the day but especially at sunset and sunrise. Loved the lone loon. Nice to have Acadia close enough for a day trip. All in all a really nice family vacation.
My husband and I decided to take an end of the summer family vacation that included our adult children, two grandchildren, my brother and a couple of friends. Our intention was to take a beach vacation at the ocean, but that did not work for various reasons. I am so glad that I searched "lake houses in Maine". We could not have found a better place to spend the week!! The house was spacious, clean and well-stocked both inside and out. We spent each night chatting around the firepit (wood and S'more supplies were included!!) We decided to rent a pontoon boat to explore the pond, and we had a wonderful time. I suggest taking a sunset cruise, the photos we captured were stunning. It was truly a relaxing way to end the summer!!
This is the second time staying here!! It is always so clean, well-stocked and plenty of room for our whole family and dogs!! The host is very responsive and helpful with information! I would highly recommend this location especially with its bakery just up the road.
