Perfect Lakeside Getaway - Craig's Pond Cabin (45m from Acadia National Park)

Our cabin is located on a beautiful private peninsula (1 1/2 Acres) with over 1000ft of lake frontage. It's perfectly located & close to everything: Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor: historic Castine; Blue Hill; etc.; Yet tucked away from it all, too. Cozy Maine cottage with teardrop shaped fireplace makes for a perfect lakeside get-away on one of Maine's most desirable lakes. Craig's Pond is one of Maine's Top 10 Clearest Lakes with no equals in the area. Entire glass front of cabin offers unforgettable views from every space. Built before setbacks, the front deck goes right up to the crystal-clear water (most places have to be set back hundreds of feet from the water). Spectacular views of the lake from everywhere on the property. Complete privacy & seclusion with no visible neighbors allows for the solitude and serenity Maine is known for. Pet friendly. Everything you need for an unforgettable holiday in Vacationland. P.S. - Looking over listings, it's hard to tell one lake from another. Water quality, water clarity, neighbor proximity & development are hard to tell by listings or photos. Craig's Pond is considered one of the best lakes around. There are only a dozen or so total cabins on the lake and it’s not overly crowded. Our calendar fills up with return renters. Stay at our cabin and you'll see why. 100% 5-star reviews!

Couldn't ask for a better week
We enjoyed a beautiful week on Craig Pond. We spent hours swimming and playing in the crystal clear water with the dogs. The location is extremely private but still convenient enough to explore nearby towns to find things to do.

This is the fourth time we’ve stayed here. The place is great if you realize you’re going into camp. It’s not a five star hotel but I’d take this place over any five star in the world. You can’t beat the location and everything you need to enjoy the pond is there for you. I always come out of there totally relaxed and recharged. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Tranquility and Privacy
I seriously considered giving a 1-star review because I don't want anyone else to find this little slice of perfection. This is a wonderful and charming cabin in the woods on a private peninsula, with all the peace and quiet you could hope for. Most of our time was spent lounging on the deck reading and unwinding. The owner was very helpful and attentive while also respecting our privacy. We could easily have gone the whole visit without seeing another human being. We will be visiting again for sure.

Little Hidden Gem!
We were so excited for our first time here and it was better than we imagined! We were looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway for us and our pups and this place was just perfect! The cabin is so cute and has almost everything you need! The views from the deck and the living room were so beautiful especially as the light changed throughout the day. We loved that the cabin is on 1.5 acres of a peninsula and that we had the whole peninsula just to us to explore with the pups! The owner was great with communicating and answering any questions. The neighbor is very friendly and likes to come introduce himself in case you need anything or have any questions. We are looking forward to adding this as an annual family getaway! It was just so special and we are so thankful the owners share this little gem with people like us (and our pups!)! Thank you again!

Amazing place to stay
From the moment I reserved, Jay was so accommodating and helpful. Answered all my questions thoroughly, big and small. I requested early check in last minute as it was going to be our only sunny day and he made it happen. The camp road is fun but definitely requires at least an SUV. The property is wonderful with so many fun spots to explore. Having the boats at our disposal was awesome. The deck is a perfect spot and the view waking up can’t be beat. We had mostly cloudy, rainy weather and still had a lot of fun. We definitely want to return!

Peace and quiet
This place is in the middle of the woods so an suv or truck is probably best to access it. Once you get to the probably, the views are absolutely incredible and the only sounds you hear are the family of loons on the pond. It was so peaceful there and exactly what we were looking for. The communication with the property Manger was above and beyond our expectations.

Husband and I ditched our original plans to go to Arcadia and play around with the kayaks instead. Yes, that's right. We took this trip for the sole purpose of going to Arcadia...but when we settled in....we didn't want to leave. Bring bug spray....citronella candle or mosquito netting for your head. Bugs were crazy, but its spring time and bugs get crazy during the spring. Get everything you need BEFORE you get to the cabin (food, alcohol etc)
