Acadia Long Pond Waterfront 75 ft to Dock Modern Cottage Sleeps 5

“Windiana" is 75 feet to the fresh water of Long Pond and a private dock. Long Pond is four miles long and we are on 12 acres on the tip of Northern Neck in the less populated part of the lake facing Acadia National Park with Beech, Mansel, and Bernard mountain views. Also, visit our other home on the property VRBO 1686888 Windiana III. We are in the prime part of the lake with a gorgeous view. Our houses are built to live in nature with a huge deck overlooking the lake on 3 sides.

The living room has a cathedral ceiling and a bubble skylight at the center of the house. The living area is surrounded by windows with views of the lake and pine trees. It has a large sofa and wicker chairs. The main bedroom has a queen bed, sliding doors to the deck and view down the lake The second bedroom has a full bed with a view of the lake and dock. The third bedroom has two twins. There is a small well equipped kitchen area and one large bathroom with a washer/dryer.

This house is made for indoor/outdoor living. The deck is 36 x 12 on the front and wraps around to a 8 x 28 deck with a grill and steps to the water. The house also includes adirondacks, 2 chaises, and a dining table that seats 8.

About Long Pond. It will take you a week to see all the gems on Long Pond! Canoe to Duck Rock for a picnic. Duck Rock is a magnificent sheet of rock that cuts gradually into the lake. Perfect for swimming with all ages. You can even pick up an Acadia National Park trail up the Perpendicular on Mansel Mountain. Picnic to Rum Island and explore this beautifully situated island looking down the lake. Snorkel and find the boulders the size of rocks off its shores. It is a crystal clear fresh water lake. It is perfect for swimming, boating, and bass fishing. Kayaks, paddle boards and canoes are available through the National Park Canoe Rental on Long Pond @ 207-244-5854 which is on our lake. We are the only lake with a kayak rental on the lake and they will deliver to the house on Saturdays.

Come be one with Nature in this Unique Spot. Enjoy the spectacular view from the decks and watch for loons and eagles. Take an early morning kayak ride while the lake is like glass. Sun and swim on the private dock and explore a fresh water lake. Canoe to Rum Island or Duck Rock for a picnic. Fish for bass and salmon. Watch the moon rise over Beech and curl up in a blanket and star gaze at night. Listen to the call of the loons and enjoy this unique property surrounded by ten acres of woods. This is Paradise!

Beautiful and tranquil gem on Long Pond
This was our family’s second time staying at this house, and we plan to return again. The house is in an ideal location! It’s on a little island in Long Pond. The house is beautiful and well maintained, and Diana is very responsive and helpful in addressing any questions and offering information and suggestions for the area. There’s a beautiful deck, and the house has its own dock on the lake. I highly recommend staying there!

So quiet!
So quiet!!! The house is at the SW end of an island, with no traffic noise nor nearby neighbours. The owner's house is adjacent but distant enough to enable privacy. The dock was great, and completely private other than passing canoeists. The pond was warm enough to swim (late June). The house is new and in good shape. The kitchen diner lounge room is snug, with limited storage options for groceries. The best place we have stayed in Mt Desert Island.

Stunning property and location!
Incredible property and beautiful home with a spectacular view! Such a special property with an amazing history, and Diana, the host, was absolutely lovely and welcoming. She made our family of 4, 2 adults, 2 children ages 12 and 9, feel right at home. The home was bright, clean, comfortable, beautiful indoors and out, and had everything we needed for our week exploring Acadia. The kitchen area was stocked with everything to easily prep and cook all our meals, and the home also had a full-size washer and dryer that worked perfectly. Our family is looking forward to coming again soon for another visit! Thank you Diana for sharing your stunning home!

Long Pond Cottage
The listing description accurate. Cottage is in quiet woods with direct water access. There’s a small dock for kayak or canoe if you rent or bring your own. Kitchen is well appointed as are the bedrooms and bathroom. Common area is small but comfortable for three people. Not in the description is that you must bring your own water for drinking but the tap water is fine for cooking and bathing. Saw stars at night as well as an asylum of loons right off of the dock. Quite peaceful there. Slightly far from anywhere you may want to go but not horrible. I was content to stay put and swim with my dog : )

Amazing location!
This is a small, bright and cheerful house overlooking Long Pond. A wood chip path leads down to a dock overlooking a pristine and extremely private portion of the lake. To say this is a good spot is an understatement--the location is incredible, at the end of a peninsula and surrounded by acres of woods. Our three kids (aged 13 and 10-year-old twins) swam every day in the warm water before and after all the many activities we did. Bar Harbor and Southwest Harbor are a short drive away and there's so much to do in every direction. One thing that's not clear from the ad is that the owner's own house is set not too far away from the rental property. (She happened to be away during our stay.) That house has its own dock and is set far enough away so that it's still a private house rental, but just know that you're not entirely alone. I've stayed on Long Pond before and I think this is a special house and amazing for families. Highest marks.

Perfect Location!!
This lake house was great!! We had our family of 4 - My son, 21, and daughter ,19, and we all fit comfortably with own space & had everything we needed. We went May 17th-21st & were looking forward to kayaking on the lake & just made it in time for opening season!! That was a close one, we didn't think about on/off season but fortunately our first day there was opening day - for most of Bar Harbor too. The Kayak place down the street was So accommodating and friendly and we were able to Kayak right up to the dock in the back of the house. So much fun!! Location was perfect! You're literally right in the middle of Acadia! Cadillac mountain, Bar Harbor, restaurants, bars and gift shops are all close by- within 20 minutes!! The 4 of us got up early for sunrise at Cadillac Mountain & it was a Amazing! Can't wait to go back!!

Excellent Getaway
Snaps to Diana and the opportunity to stay in this beautiful contemporary VRBO. The property is off the beaten path in a beautiful setting with all the amenities one could possibly need. Diana provided information prior to to our arrival that was extremely helpful. Thanks to her email we reserved times to go to Cadillac Mountain, lunch at Jordan Pond, and a nice anniversary dinner in Bar Harbor. She truly goes above and beyond what I have experienced with other hosts. We enjoyed our Fall visit so much we hope to reserve a week in the Summer to go kayaking, swimming, biking etc. Mt. Desert is truly a magical place!

Peaceful
We arrived well after dark, exhausted, and got settled. The next morning we awoke up to a glassy lake with male and female loons out front making their indescribable call. This was the dream beginning for me. Serenity defined. The house/cottage/cabin is a very modern construction with large picture windows and sliders, and with a great deck. Amenities such as shower and washer/dryer were better than at home! The area was lovely with fall colors at their peak. Communications with then owner were great. Recommend!

Rustic lake gem on MDI
This is a great property. Down a long and windy camp road, you are situated up on a bluff overlooking Long Pond. There is a great wraparound deck that gives you views down to the Pond through the trees. We spent time swimming off the private dock and exploring Long Pond via easy kayak rentals (at the head of the Pond). Long Pond is very warm and inviting, and we were utterly surprised that a lake like this exists on MDI (we’ve been to Sebago, Schoodic etc..). Long Pond is seriously amazing! For the days we visited Acadia, Bar Harbor and Northeast harbor, it was an easy and beautiful journey that never took more than 20mins. I would highly recommend this rental for romantic getaways and/or a small family. Diana is very communicative and helpful if you need anything.

Terrific Vacation on Long Neck Pond
My husband and I (and two French Bulldogs) had such a nice stay at the house in mid-June. The cottage was very clean and comfortable, and the view of the lake was amazing, especially with the very open design and lots of windows. We made full use of access to the water, fishing and kayaking as much as we could. The location is perfect if you want to be away from the more touristy areas of the island, but still want a location that's an easy 15-25 minute drive to various activities. We also really enjoyed nearby Southwest Harbor. The one thing to note is the kitchenette is quite small, so be prepared for some "creativity" in preparing meals, but other than that it was all good for us in the cottage. Diana was terrific with communication, all directions were spot on, and she was available if needed.

A unique experience
We had a fun and relaxing experience at Windiana, and highly recommend it. The property is very quiet and the lakefront views were unique. We rented kayaks for the week and went paddling in the mornings and evenings. The lake is picturesque, clear, with many birds and a mountainside background. We had 3 adults and a dog, and we were comfortable in the house. We used the grill, and cooked several times, and the kitchen was sufficient. The location was convenient, and we could drive to most places (Bar Harbor, Northeast Harbor, and Acadia) in about 20 minutes. The house is on a gravel road on several acres at the end of Northern Neck, and just walking the dog was an enjoyable experience with nature. Diana was very helpful, answering any questions we had promptly. We would definitely rent this house again.

Your perfect private slice of Acadia, enjoying the outdoors from a luxurious cabin
My husband and I truly enjoyed our week at Windiana III . We loved spending time on the dock, taking in the scenery (especially in the morning) on the spacious deck overlooking the lake, and watching the early morning (or setting) sun, and evaporating fog on the water. In the late afternoon we were mesmerized by the calls of the Loon's over the water. The cabin is bright, with a 180 degree view over the lake, it has a tasteful lake side décor, the beds are comfortable and the kitchen has all the utilizes one would need or want. (including a washer and dryer)The living room has enough space to accommodate 5 guests comfortably and I can imagine how the large deck acts as a second living space from Spring to Fall. (even with the cooler Fall weather we very much enjoyed some reading, while seated in the nice Adirondack chairs outside, hearing only the wind through the leaves. Although Windiana's location is private, peaceful and quiet, it is only a short drive away from Southwest Harbor, and about a 20-25 minute enjoyable drive away from the middle of Acadia and Bar Harbor. Since our son and his girlfriend could not make it in the end, it was only the two of us, but the cabin would have easily accommodated a party 4 adults, or a family with three children. We are looking forward to return to this beautiful place as soon as we have a chance to do so. Last but not least, Diana was welcoming, responsive and helpful, and easy to 'work' with.
