This has been the best vacation rental we've ever had! The property listing was exactly as described, and in some cases, better than described! The view looking out over the pond with the mountains in the background was amazing, inside and out! We loved having the water so close. It was great for swimming---a nice amount of shallow water before getting deeper was great for your 7 and 10 year old children. There were four kayaks which allowed all of us to go out on the water at the same time. The diving board on the boulder in the middle of the pond was a unique and awesome perk! We took two day trips out to Bar Harbor, which was a short 40 minute drive. We took Tim's recommendation to hike Schoodic Mountain (which you can see when looking out from the dock, and we were not disappointed. 360 degree views of Acadia and if you know the shape of the pond, you can see "our pond" from the top! The cabin itself was perfect--nothing too fancy, but comfortable, clean, and with a great layout. We kept the windows open as much as possible so we could hear the sound of the water indoors (yes, the water is that close!!). Would recommend 10/10!
