Renovated home steps from pristine Beech Hill Pond, Air Conditioned

Peaceful lakeside cottage newly renovated with its own dock and swim float . Enjoy swimming, kayaking and paddle boarding. Secluded site with 150 feet of shoreline.

Located on beautiful Beech Hill Pond. On the shore enjoy sleeping on the hammock or lounging by outdoor fire pit. Listen to loon calls and enjoy the ducks as they swim by the cottage. Nice porch for those rainy days. You will enjoy every minute of it and will never want to leave!

Bring your own boat for fishing on the lake (please keep to small boats under 15', absolutely no pontoon boats). . Or just enjoy the provided kayaks and paddle boards. The sandy bottom descends to 6' deep water within 15' feet of the shoreline. Very clear water that you can see down about 20 feet or more.

Great location, can swim in a beautiful cool lake and still close enough to spend the day in Acadia and Bar Harbor. Both are located about 50 minutes away.

Beech Hill Pond is 4.5 miles long, half a mile wide, and up to 104 feet deep. Trout, salmon, and other species of fish have been observed in the lake. Bald Eagles can be seen hunting right in front of the cottage. We saw one catch a large fish right in front of us. The Loons are prevalent on the lake and can be heard calling in the night in the quiet still air.

Fish found in Beech Hill Pond include salmon, rainbow trout, lake trout, brook trout, small mouth bass, and several others. The largest lake trout in Maine was caught on the lake in 1958. It weighed 31.5 pounds.

Beech Hill Pond was said to be one of the "best bets for Maine lake trout" by Tom Seymour. It is not possible to fish from the lake's shore, although fishing can be done out on the lake.

Tranquil Lakeside Cottage
We wanted a cottage a bit away from the bustle of Bar Harbor as a hub to explore Acadia and this fit the bill. The Cottage is clean, well appointed and appears to have been recently renovated. Located about 30 mins from Ellsworth and 1 hour from Acadia, it was far enough away from the Columbus Day crowds. Ellsworth is good size (~8K residents) has several restaurants and a small downtown. There is also a well-stocked general store in Otis about 10 minutes away. We had a wonderful time just hanging at the cottage and exploring the area.

A peaceful great time!
We spent a week at the house on Beech Hill Pond. Our stay consisted of two couples and there was plenty of room for us all. The house comes very clean, very well equipped and we were able to sit (hang out) both inside and outside. We utilized the bbq and the bonfire pit. The house is located just 20 minutes from Ellsworth and about 45 minutes from Bar Harbor. There is plenty to do both at the house, on the lake, and within a short distance of the house. This is our second stay at this house and we are looking forward to returning. Veena the owner was great and easy to keep in contact with.

This on one of the best vacation escapes
Had our 31st anniversary and decided to stay at some far remote and calm place. It did it !!! One of the best places we've stayed so far, and the whole time was spend enjoying every moment of it ! As other reviews have - the area and the cottage are a great fit to off season travelers. When we wanted to extend our stay by one extra night Veena was so nice accommodating it. Thank you Veena far all you do ! Regards, Aleks & Inna.

Wonderful camp on the water!
Clean and modern cabin on an absolutely beautiful property! Nice kayaks and paddle boards to use. Screened in porch. Campfire. All simply wonderful. Sitting by the water at dusk listening to the loons was enchanting. Great hiking nearby, Eagle Bluff was as amazing as Acadia with no tourists!

An excellant time
We enjoyed our stay immensely and are looking forward to staying again. The house was just the right size and was recently redone. It was very clean and came very well stocked, we didn't have to bring a thing! The cabin is in a great serene location and was perfect for us. Veena was very helpful and was a great host!

Nice house on a really nice little lake
We enjoyed our time in the house. The property was extremely clean and the air conditioning in the house is a nice touch, that out of the ordinary in this part of Maine. The lake and lake access are excellent.
