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!

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.

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.

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).

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.

Great little cabin in a quiet, beautiful spot!

My family (self, husband, and 3 boys) love hiking vacations in the National Parks...but we don't love crowds. At about 40-50min outside Acadia National Park, this cabin was perfect. We could drive into the park early and hike, then come 'home' to George's pond and fall in! The view is spectacular, I loved boating and the boys loved the diving rock. The cabin felt more like you were borrowing a good friends family cabin than like a rental. Cozy decor and comfortable beds. We also spent a great deal of time reading on the deck around the propane fire pit. Great place for us all to recharge! We'll definitely come back. One trip to this part of Maine is not enough!

Peaceful retreat

The cabin is beautiful nestled amongst the pine trees overlooking the lake. Loved hearing the loons in the distance. We weren't informed that there was no television, so a little disappointed because it's football season, but there were lots of games to keep us occupied as we were there during hurricane Lee. Our host was concerned for our safety and requested us to leave on Saturday for the night, and we did so. However, our reimbursement for that night from VRBO has not been refunded to us at more than a week later. Overall, considering the weather, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at George's Pond and loved the food at Ruth and Wimpies. Best lobster we had!

Last Minute Maine Trip

This is a traditional Maine "camp", so don't expect too much. The property was clean but small. The bathroom is very small, and if there were more than the four of us it wouldn't have been enough. But it is manageable for a week or two. The kitchen is just barely enough to cook basic meals. The kitchen has all of the basic cookware and dishes you will need. Thankfully there is a gas grill on the deck that can also be used to cook meals, and it has the added advantage of overlooking the pond. You'll want to spend most of your time here outside. We also used the gas fire pit almost every evening as the temperatures were quite cool while we were there. The pond is great for swimming, kayaking, or boating. The location is also near Acadia National Park and other outdoor activities. If you are looking for a traditional Maine vacation "upta camp" then this is a great place.

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

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!

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.
