Maine Wilderness Oasis: Swimming, Hiking, Fishing, Boating

Take it easy at this unique getaway. Spend your days hiking the backyard trails (25 acres behind the house!), swimming or paddle boarding on the lake with a private dock (lake is a 2 minute walk down the driveway!), or travelling to near by coastal towns like Bar Harbour (Bucksport was voted #1 small coastal town in USA!). For dinner, stop by one of the lobster shacks just down the road to bring home your fresh Maine lobster! Come and disconnect (or stay connected if you’re working remotely!).

This place is nicely located off the Maine route to Bar Harbor, so it works great as a stop off both going to or coming from. There's also a handy grocery shop and gas station right at the corner. The trip back and forth to Mt. Desert can easily be done in a day, especially if it is during the week. With 3 bedrooms and 2 baths, laundry, full kitchen, and a comfortable TV room to entertain the kids, it's a good alternative to camping or staying in a more rustic setting. We didn't make it down to the water, as it is down a long steep driveway and across the road with iffy footing to the deck and dock area. I have difficulty walking, so for those more sure footed that might be a nice bonus.

Family weekend

We stayed here with our 1.5 year old and dog for a summer weekend. The location was good for visits to Acadia and Bar Harbor. The property was very spacious and private for our family. The place was well stocked with baby gear. We felt like the water access was overstated on the listing, it is across the street and down an overgrown path to a small dock between two backyard properties. We were expecting more of a private accessible area based on the listing. Overall we enjoyed our stay.

Great Spot

Just got back from one week here. Really nice and comfortable house (and well quipped) in a great location if you want to be away from the crowds. Had a lot of fun on the lake, hiking the property, and day trips to Acadia. Acadia took us about an hour or so to get to, but well worth staying here- it’s a beautiful drive anyway. I think our dogs had more fun then we did- the property is perfect for dogs. Thank you and hope to be back!!

Amazing!

Our stay was too short, but very sweet. The house is a bit from Arcadia National Park, if that's your destination, but it was still worth it. The house is very clean and well equipped. The highlight is the lake! Great for kayaking and fishing. The road is a little close to the house and the hiking trail isn't well maintained, otherwise super stay!!

Nice secluded area!

The communication was great once we were there. Poor communication leading up to our arrival. The dock and lake are across the street, not on the property. We were there to hike in Acadia and visit Bar Harbor. Both were about an hour away.

Our family had a wonderful stay! The house was beautiful, clean and comfortable! The owner provides a lot of the things that make it feel like home and is quick to answer any and all questions. Being that we have young children, it can be difficult to remember everything, but the owner provided a lots of the things you need for little. We were so thankful to have found such an amazing house. Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Wonderful getaway on Long Pond

We were overjoyed with the property - it was exactly as described on the Vrbo website and scrupulously clean. We loved the proximity to the lake and all the wonderful amenities at the dock area - paddleboat, paddleboard, kayaks, paddles, lifejackets, seating, waste receptacles! It was amazing and the lake was not crowded. We visited Fort Knox nearby and spent great times in Bangor, Acadia National Park, and Bar Harbor. We were so happy to bring our dog with us and she was welcomed almost everywhere. We were very happy with our choice of rental home.

Maine Getaway

This was the perfect Maine getaway that my family and I were hoping for. We visited Arcadia National Park and did several hikes and sight seeing activities. On our rainy day, we visited Bangor where we did an escape room adventure followed by a wonderful dinner together at the Timber Kitchen and Bar. Thank you Chauncey for being such a wonderful and thoughtful host. We enjoyed our stay and made some new family memories. PS, For the cheesecake lovers out there, a little detour out to MoMo’s cheesecake in Ellsworth… totally worth it!!!

could not say more about our experience

The owners of this rental in Bucksport, although new with minimal reviews, were very respondent to any questions" emails" that I had sent. I need to say that my questions were few. The premises is tastefully decorated with all the amenities that a family would expect. I am highly recommending this rental for this region of Maine. Jeff ( vacationer from CT)

Escape Maine in Maine

The house is lovely with lots of room for everyone. The lake is enormous and private and we really enjoyed paddling the kayaks and paddle boards. Both the lake area and the property have great amenities, like sunscreen by the lake and a washer and dryer. We hiked the trail by the house and got to check out gorgeous forest scenery and scare a few innocent spiders. This was our best friend anniversary vacation and the house was perfectly situated near a bunch of cool stuff without the crowds. We visited Bar Harbor and Bangor and the crazy antique shop off the highway covered in skeletons and enjoyed every minute. Stopped into the observatory and Fort Knox on the way out of town. A+++++
