Acadia cottage on Long Pond 20 ft to Water, 2 cottages, Sleeps 4
This is the Premier view on Long Pond in the less populated part of the lake facing Acadia National Park with Beech, Mansel, and Bernard Mountain views. We are on 12 acres on the tip of Northern Neck. We have 2 cottages on the property. The cottages are private and have separate docks. See and read reviews of our other cottage VRBO listing 282999. This is a new listing, but we have been on VRBO 16 years!!
It is a joy to live in this house as the views are ever changing and you are constantly surrounded by nature. The eagle often perches in our large white pine trees that tower over the deck. The piliated woodpecker, many birds, deer, fox, and porcupine, can be seen in the woods. In the morning there is often a raft of loons up to 14 that congregate in front of the house. The stars on a calm dark night reflect into the water and the moon can be seen rising across the lake. The call of the loon can be heard as you fall asleep. There is a peace that comes from being here that restores you back to nature.
We have two small cottages Windiana I and II that rent together with a total of 2 bedrooms, 2 baths with a kitchen and a living room. These cottages are perfect for two couples who wish to stay together and have some privacy.
Windiana I is 20 feet to the fresh water of Long Pond and our dock. 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 down the lake and pine trees. It has two sofas and wicker chairs. Windiana I is so close to the water it feels like you are on a boat! The bedroom has a queen bed and view of the lake. The bathroom has just been redone with a blue and white Thasso marble floor. The kitchen is compact, but fully functional with standard oven/range and dishwasher and fridge. There is a table indoors for four. Our houses are built to live in nature with one deck 12 x 24 overlooking the lake with a 180 degree view and a side deck that is 12 x 36. The deck has a large dining table, captain’s chairs and a grill.
Windiana II is behind Windiana I and is one main room with water views from all sides. It has a queen bed, wicker couch and chairs, refrigerator, bar sink, and a full bath. There is a sleeping loft which is not available for use. The cottage has a deck with a view of the lake as well. Windiana II is private from Windiana I as it is above and behind Windiana I. Note: there is no washer/dryer in Windiana I and II. Windiana III is behind this property and will be occupied by other tenants, but sufficient distance and orientation to ensure privacy.
In front of Windiana I there is a dock that is perfect for fishing and renting kayaks at the local Acadia National Park Canoe rental. Kayaks are not provided. The water side sits on a graceful sheath of rock that reaches into Long Pond. A magnificent setting for you vacation.
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 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. We are the only lake with a kayak rental on lake and they will deliver to the house.
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. 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 twelve acres of woods. This is Paradise!

Had a lovely time. Place has a brilliant view of Longs Pond in Acadia. Was a very nice stay. Place is well-stocked. Close proximity to everything in Acadia.
This property is incredibly beautiful! The views off of the back deck rival the lake views inside Acadia National Park. The host was great about communicating with us and very nice to deal with! We will definitely be back! 1000/10 recommend this property!
We thoroughly enjoyed this property. The views are amazing with excellent accommodations. We really enjoyed watching both sunrises and sunsets over the water. Very close to Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park. I would highly recommend.
We loved staying at this property. Unfortunately we didn’t receive the check in information at the time VRBO promised (48 hours pre-checking) but once we reached out, we had the information quickly. This is a lovely retreat away from the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor, but close enough to go for dinner, etc. Don’t let the drive down the private 1 1/2 mile lane stop you - this house is at the very end with beautiful views of Long Pond!
The view from Windiana 1's deck is what caught our eye when searching for a getaway but once here it is the whole package that will drive us to want to return for future stays. We did not expect to see summer time crowds in Acadia in late Sept. early Oct. so it was so very nice to come back to the peace and quiet of Windiana and you are not even that far away from the park. Windiana has all the comforts of home in a compact package. Communication with the property owner was easy and fluid!
This is our second time staying at Windiana and we can not wait for our next stay!We love the location! You can easily get to Bar Harbor, Acadia, Southwest Harbor, Seal Cove, or anywhere in the MDI. Forget something or need a break from outdoor activities, Ellsworth is just a quick drive. Speaking about needing a break, sitting on the deck or dock looking out over Long Pond is magical. The peace and serenity of stating at Windiana is a great reset to a hectic work life.Windiana has all the comforts of home without the worries of what needs to be done at home. Communication with the property owner was great, checking in and out was effortless, and did I mention the view!
