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.

Wonderful camp, just magnificent views of the pond. The road was tough (unpaved), but it was so quiet. Again we went in October. Inside was very clean and nice, just like the photos they had on the website. We took drive to Bar Harbor very nice 👌

Perfect Maine Vacation
We had an amazing stay in Maine on Beech Hill Pond! The property exceeded our expectations and was a perfect match for our family of four. The lake was crystal clear and fun for swimming, boating, and relaxing by the water. The cabin had everything we needed for cooking our own meals and feeling at home for a week with a few day trips into Acadia. Great decor, comfortable beds, and a lovely welcoming gift basket really enhanced the stay. We couldn’t have asked for more! Thank you, Josh!

You Won't Want to Leave!
Beech Hill Pond is beautiful, and this cabin was perfect. It had everything we needed and more! The view is stunning, the access to the lake is perfect and allowed us to take advantage of kayaking, boating, and just taking in the beautiful surroundings on the deck. The kitchen had everything we needed, the linens were plentiful, and we loved the small touches like s'mores supplies being available to us, extension cords available to charge our phones, fans available in each room (the air conditioning in the main living areas worked wonderfully as well). The owner was responsive and helped us secure a pontoon boat as well. We really didn't want to leave. We made sure to spend at least a full day just taking in the scenery and being outside on the property. Sunrise is beautiful! The other days included day trips to Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park, and more! Thank you for a wonderful week in Maine! Highly recommend!

All the Outdoor Fun Maine Has to Offer in One Cozy Camp
This is a beautiful camp and one of the most beautiful properties on Beech Hill Pond. You really couldn't ask for more in outdoor entertainment than this camp offers from the beautiful anchored and floating docks to the generous sandy lake access for swimming and easy in/out for the kayaks/canoe. We so enjoyed the scenic fire pit area and sprawling back deck with wonderful views of the lake and the loons that like to perch out front. Indoors, while compact, is comfortable and cozy and beautifully appointed with the best stocked kitchen we've ever had in a rental of any size. And if you are looking for more to see and do - the camp is less than an hour to Acadia, Camden and other gorgeous locations on the coast in Down East Maine. Josh was a warm and welcoming host and replied quickly to any inquiries we had. We had a wonderful time and really look forward to returning some day.

Great lakeside vacation
This property was very clean and had everything we needed to have a comfortable vacation lakeside. The cabin fit our family of 5 comfortably and we enjoyed being in the clean lake every day. The kitchen was outfitted very well, I was surprised that I didnt need to use items I packed because they were already there. We loved going for a jog or walk and playing on the paddle board or kayaks. We even went into bar habor twice for exploring. It was a wonderful stay!

We’ll be back
Perfection for our first family trip to Maine! We loved the house’s comfy layout, generous kitchen and spectacular views. On-site laundry was so needed and appreciated. We were welcomed with a sweet welcome basket of goodies. We used the kayaks and swam in the cool lake water every day. Just a short drive to Ellsworth for any necessities and excellent ice cream. About an hour to Acadia for the day was amazing, but we really just wanted more time at the cabin. The loons at sunset and sunrise were peaceful and entertaining for the long summer days - and a supreme view of sunrise is worth celebrating. Can’t wait to come back! Not an issue, but worth noting that the GPS located us about 1/2 mile short, but the just followed the house numbers and made it perfectly.

Great Cabin
We had a lovely time at the cabin. The whole place was clean and the outdoor space was especially amazing. We loved the lake and got great use out of the kayaks and fire pit. It was a bit tight to have adults sleeping in the loft - the beds weren’t super stable and voices echoed from up there. But I would be careful with children on the ladder to the loft as it is fairly tall and steep. The sun rises early in Maine in the summer and there aren’t any curtains in the loft, so be ready for an early rise. We had great weather so were able to spend a good amount of our time outside. We grilled and ate most of our meals on the deck, which has great views of the lake. The inside is a bit on the small side, so it was great to have all the extra space on the deck, backyard, and dock to spread out. The cabin is about 45 min to an hour from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, so we were able to visit the park one day and go into town for dinner. Both places were really special and I would recommend! Overall, we had an excellent time and really enjoyed the beauty of Maine and the cabin.

Cozy little cabin
The cabin was just as described. Such a cute little place to stay. The kitchen had everything that we needed! There was a lovely arrival gift that unfortunately we didn’t get to use because we were too tired after hiking Acadia. We traveled with 2 young boys, and they were exhausted! Cabin is located a hour away from Acadia, no issues getting to or from. The cabin is located on a very bumpy narrow dirt road. Not a complaint, just a heads up. We had to contact the owner once for an alarm that was going off, but he was super nice, reached right back out to me and handle the situation. I will recommend this cabin to anyone heading up toward Acadia who wants to stay off the beaten path. Do better than we did though, purchase food to cook at home. It is 30 minutes to get to town for food. Pond is absolutely beautiful and clear! Too cold for us to go into, but loved looking at it during the day. I can’t say enough wonderful things. Thank you for letting us stay in your cabin. We had a great time.

Upon arrival it is immediately apparent why Josh G. is a Premier Host. A welcome gift of s'mores fixins and local beverages was available for our enjoyment. The cabin was very clean. A prerfect get-away for a family of 4-6. The home is within 45min - 1 hr drive of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor. We mostly enjoyed the serenity of the lake, and were very appreciative of the kayaks and canoes Josh provided for our enjoyment. A pristine lake, magnificent sunrises and sunsets- perfect for a relaxing family getaway.
