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.

Peaceful week on the water
We recently had the pleasure of staying at this charming cabin on the pond, and I can’t recommend it highly enough! From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning views. The cabin is perfectly situated, allowing us to soak in the beauty of the water and surrounding nature. The beds were incredibly comfortable, making it easy to unwind after a day of exploring. We truly appreciated the cozy atmosphere and the thoughtful touches throughout the cabin. Washer/dryer was an added bonus! One of our favorite aspects of the stay was the fire pit. We spent our evenings gathered around the fire, sharing stories and making memories under the stars. It was the perfect way to end each day. Overall, this cabin provided a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. We left feeling refreshed and full of cherished memories. We can’t wait to return!

Lovely Lake Getaway
The house has been very nicely remodeled and is well appointed. Beds and couches were comfortable, views of the lake were spectacular, kitchen had everything we needed. Although the lake is very densely developed, this cottage is well screened from its neighbors and the lake was surprisingly quiet. There were some motor boats, but none were annoying. A cormorant visited daily and once a bald eagle circled in front of the cottage and plucked a fish out right in front of us. We enjoyed kayaking, SUP boarding, and swimming, as well as walking on the lake road. I highly recommend this lovely lakeside rental!

Gorgeous
We loved staying at the camp! Everything we needed was provided, more than we expected. Sunrise was absolutely beautiful every morning. We used the kayaks and paddle boards, rented a pontoon boat for a day. We are in most nights and had great supplies for cooking. Great fire pit with gas grill. If I ever get back to Maine I will definitely rent here again.

A Very Peaceful Place
This is a very peaceful place! The cottage had everything you might need. My teens enjoyed the provided paddle boards. My husband set up his work laptop in the front bedroom and enjoyed the beautiful views while he worked. I loved listening to the sound of the water on the shore. Would love to return someday.

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.

The house is terrific - well decorated, and well stocked with just about anything you could need. We like to cook (yes, even on vacation) and the kitchen did not lack anything we could have wanted or needed for tools and dishes. We even entertained and had plenty of everything. Veena is very responsive to emails with answers to questions. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful week on Beech Hill Pond
We had a wonderful relaxing week on the pond. We sunbathed on the dock, swam, kayaked and paddle boarded on that amazing crystal clear pond all day. The cottage was spotless and the kitchen well appointed and had everything we needed. We loved the family of loons that were always around. At night the stars were dazzling! I highly recommend this little piece of heaven on Beech Hill Pond! Thank you Veena for sharing your beautiful home.
