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.

Great stay over MDW!

My adult kids, Mom, pups and I had a great time at the cabin. The weather was not great the first few days so we went out explored the area, played games and watched movies. The lake is pristine and we took advantage of the owner provided paddle boards. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Can’t wait to go back when the weather warms up!

Peaceful and Relaxing

Our stay at this cabin was perfect for our family. Watching the pink sunrises across the lake each morning was breathtaking. I especially enjoyed sitting on the deck each morning reading my book and listening to the loons, and in the evenings sitting outside playing games. Our grandsons enjoyed fishing off the dock, my husband enjoyed kayaking and canoeing on the lake, and our golden lab enjoyed sunning herself on the deck. We hope to return to this location again. It would be beautiful in every season.

This was our 8th year on Beech Hill Pond and by far our favorite rental. The outdoor areas are astounding! The expansive deck, dock and sandy beach offer something for everyone. The floating dock was amazing and the neighbors even let the kids use their slide. While not too large, the cabin has everything you need: two bedrooms and a loft, plus open concept living. The kitchen was well equipped for any chef and we made dinner in several times! Door seafood is so close, we had lobsters by the lake a few times. Josh is a communicative, excellent host and this was our second stay at one of his properties; we will definitely be returning to this gem. Also the internet and TV service were excellent; we’ve stayed on cabins with spotty coverage and this was perfect!

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!

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!

Wonderful weekend

Stayed for three nights at this wonderful property. Kids loved everything about it and our stay was just enough. We picked up supplies before getting to the house, so the only thing we went out for was bait at the local general store. Though the water was too cold for swimming, the beach was great for the use of the stand up paddle board, canoe, and kayaks. We fished all day and made use of the very generous welcome gift to make smores at night. The lake was so peaceful, there was some limited boating during the day, otherwise very quiet place to relax. I don’t think anybody wanted to leave and we could have enjoyed Acadia from the lake house being about an hour away but we made plans to stay in Bar Harbor. The only complaint we had was the couches were horrible for relaxing in the evening. We also had an incident with a rather large spider in the bedroom but it’s the woods and we live in the woods as well so we know what it’s about. The house was stocked with all the essentials, everything for making meals, plenty of linens and towels, WiFi. If we ever find ourselves heading up to Maine again, this house on Beech Hill Pond will be at the top of our list. bonus, we were greeted by a threesome of loons every day.

Peak Relaxation

This property was the perfect place to rest and rejuvenate. Everything you could possibly need was provided, including kayaks and paddle boards! From swimming in the lake to sitting around the campfire (wood provided), you could not ask for a better getaway for a family. FYI the road along the lake is not paved, but our Subaru Forester was able to handle it without a problem. Also Bar Harbor is about 40 minutes from the property, but we enjoyed the distance from the crowds and tourist scene. We did our grocery shopping and even got take-out from restaurants in Ellsworth, which has the cutest Main St. and deserves to be explored! Josh was the best and was super responsive, he really wants to make sure you have a great stay. Would definitely make a return trip!
