A secluded, waterfront getaway awaits in this all-season ranch home, tucked into the trees and surrounded by water. The wooded 3.4-acre property is set on Upper Patten Pond (a smaller, and quieter, private lake where you can catch perch or pickerel), and within 15 minutes of Ellsworth with shops, restaurants, supermarkets, and kayak rentals. There are also two kayaks included with your home. Enjoy easy access to state forests and parks, Bar Harbor (40 minutes), and the entrance to Acadia National Park is a 35-minute drive away.

Closer to home, the shady, private patio in the backyard is the perfect place to sip morning coffee, and the firepit awaits for an evening spent roasting marshmallows and trading stories about the day. There’s a pair of loons that will serenade you in the evening, and you might also spot eagles and other wildlife during your stay.

Take in unobstructed water views from every window inside the homey living space, detailed with sweet country touches throughout. Hardwood floors, a wood stove, and comfortable furnishings help create a warm, cozy feeling no matter the time of year. The well-equipped kitchen features all the appliances, counter space, and gadgets you’ll need to whip up a feast, and the group can dine together at the window-front table or pull up a barstool at the kitchen island to keep it casual. Spend the evenings gathered in front of the wood stove while you stream your favorite shows or use the in-home, high-speed WiFi to upload the day’s pics to social media. Relax with some music courtesy of the sound system with speakers in every room or, if you’ve got any remote work to do, a sweet roll-top desk offers the perfect perch. Three comfortable bedrooms await at the end of your first – and every – perfect vacation day.

WHAT’S NEARBY
This home is centrally located between both Acadia National Park and the picturesque Blue Hill Peninsula and Deer Isle - home to artist colonies, the photogenic 18th-century town of Castine, the working fishing village of Stonington, and Brooksville, (the inspiration for the award-winning children’s book by Robert McCloskey, One Morning in Maine). Visit the quaint village of Blue Hill with shops and galleries that showcase the best of the peninsula’s artists and artisans, which pepper the Blue Hill Peninsula. You’re also 2.5 miles from Toddy Pond, an eight-mile lake - perfect for exploring one of the region’s most popular bodies of water for boating or fishing.

Acadia park retreat
Property was spot on with discription, nice fire pit for camp fire at night, 3 kayaks for use on the lake. We caught lots of fish, bass, pike, and blugills. Property was very clean and secluded.

Nice large house. We kept ourselves very busy and weren't at the place too much. But it did suit our needs. Easy access to the national park.

Cozy House in The Quiet by a Lake
It was a comfortable, cozy place to stay. The issue with the front door was annoying (did not enjoy having to deal with a repair on someone else’s house while I was on vacation). The house was as described. Enjoyed swing by the lake after a full day of activities in the area.

Great house - AC only in living room, not bedrooms
overall this is a great property, perfect location on the lake, however if going in the summer be aware that the "AC" is small window unit in the living room, if it's warm you are going to be hot in the bedrooms at night. With just a small investment this place could be perfect: put AC window units in the bedrooms, buy 2 more kayaks so that at family of 4 can kayak together (we knew there were only 2 going in, but really, I doubt they get many parties of 2 renting the place!), fix the leaking kitchen sink (prior review noted that it was leaking weeks before we got there). We loved our stay, but were hot at night. if these issues were fixed would love to stay there again.

Beautiful but frustrating
This us a beautiful home with a beautiful setting.however, Just a few things that were frustrating, it was advertised with 2 TV’s but only had one, it has 2 kayaks but only 1 paddle and 1 life jacket, the kitchen sink was leaking, a kitchen chair was broken, the outside garbage had not been emptied so when we took our garbage out there was no room for ours and what was there stunk, the bunk room needs blinds (( or least curtains that go the whole way) my niece was afraid to sleep in there because she was afraid someone could see in) the back doors are very difficult to lock ( a local person came to help us and it took him 10 minutes to get it locked) my sister has NEVER done a VRBO and I kept telling her that there aren’t normally this many things wrong!

Great, private location
Really comfortable, cozy, and private place. Beautiful setting on the pond. Would be nice if owners could improve the security system or give us instructions to disable as it went off and we had no way to silence it.
