ACADIA NATIONAL PARK: Acadia National Park: In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson set aside 6000 acres (within what is now Acadia National Park) as Sieur de Monts National Monument. With the acquisition of more land and private support and funding, in 1919 President Wilson signed an act establishing Lafayette National Park. In 1929 the parks name was changed to Acadia. Acadia National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, Maine's rock bound coast, its coastal and its offshore islands as characterized by the geologic features, natural history and the native plant and animal life. Forty five miles of rustic carriage roads weave around the mountains and through the valleys of Acadia National Park, the gift of philanthropist John D Rockefeller, Jr., and family. Rockefeller, a skilled horseman, desired to travel on motor free byways via horse and carriage into the heart of Mount Desert Island. His efforts resulted in roads with sweeping vistas and close up views of the landscape. Cadillac Mountain: Cadillac Mountain: At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is not only the tallest mountain in Acadia National Park, but also the tallest mountain along the eastern coast of the United States. Rising high above the town of Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain offers magnificent views of the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. Explore the summit of this granite mountain along a .3-mile trail, which includes wayside exhibits about natural and human history. Portions of this trail are accessible to wheelchair users. Cadillac Mountain is accessible via a winding, narrow, 3.5-mile road. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.

Sep 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Our 2 week stay at the Greer lake property was wonderful! The house was clean, well equipped, and very comfortable. The cove was peaceful and a beautiful setting for morning coffee out on the porch and nights out by the fire. It was a quick drive to Acadia and Bar Harbor, making it ideal for relaxation and adventure. Josh was welcoming and responsive, which made everything easy. We were able to rent a pontoon from Josh which made the experience that much more enjoyable. We had several sightings of an eagle and loons from the dock. The lake is clear and perfect for swimming, fishing, and boating. We loved our time at lake and will definitely be a repeat customer. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/109be9df-0273-40df-888a-4bdd7b346864-1758459291595.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2b695c29-13b9-4c36-b119-657957fcf084-1758459291774.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### KELLY L.

The cabin had many modern updates, with a number of personal touches from decor to a welcome package. The location was amazing - beautiful spring fed lake and gorgeous sunset views. The owner was very pleasant and professional to work with. It was easy to rent a high quality and reasonably priced boat from the owner as well. Conveniently located within a 1 hour drive to Bar Harbor and Acadia Park. My family and I felt very lucky to have found such a great vacation home! We highly recommend! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan H.

Less than an hour drive to Acadia and short trip to Bangor for restaurants, but still has that secluded cabin feeling. At the cabin we took advantage of the kayaks, fishing poles, hammock, firepit, and appreciated the welcome goodies. The lake is amazing with crystal clear water. We also hiked up Mt. Baldy nearby for a great view overlooking the lake. The cabin itself met needs well for a family of four. The only downside was that it was pretty cold in the cabin for most of the week. The heat pump didn't really keep up with the low temperatures. Wasn't a big problem for us, but bring plenty of warm/cozy clothes for indoors if staying in October. Overall great experience and we're already thinking about coming back in the summer time! ##### Ryan H.

It’s a little bit modern and a little bit rustic. Very easy to get in and out of as the roads are paved leading up to it. The vintage look and feel is what Maine was all about in summers past, yet it has two bathrooms, laundry, a full kitchen and A/C. We spent one night on the large screened in porch watching as a thunderstorm passed over the lake. Close to Bangor and Acadia National Park, with a market and Dunkin Donuts less than 10 minutes down the road. The kayaks, canoe and paddle boards were a hit with the teenagers and the fire pit, with as much wood as you could burn, was amazing. Josh does it all when it comes to staying at his properties. I’ve rented for over 10 years in different places and him dropping off and picking up the boat is a huge timesaver. Plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the super clean lake and it’s surroundings.

Outside temp was in low 40s. Cabin was freezing at checkin. The whole cabin has one heat pump which is located in living room. This was turned off and heat pumps take a long long time to warm up a place. We got space heaters which kept tripping up the electricity. Terrible sleepless first night which culminated in a phone call to owner who was very responsive and arrived next day. Upstairs bathtub unusable and rusted because of leaky tap. Hot water had rusty odour. Washer worked but dryer was broken and ended up drying clothes by hanging on bannister and chairs. Owner left several nice touches including plenty of towels, drinks/ snacks for adults/children. Amazing yard, lake front and fully equipped with canoes/kayaks and life jackets. The small issues which keep popping up made the stay memorable in a bad way. Wonderful property and great host but multiple issues need to be fixed. ##### Krishna k.

I've been visiting Maine on the coast since I was young. But this time, I wanted to try staying on a lake or in a cabin. I don't recall if it was noted, but the house does have a privacy/security gate out to the road that is helpful if you have small children or want to keep your vehicles safe. The water on the lake is crystal clear where you can see fish just by looking down from the dock. Basic paper needs are well-supplied as is the water cooler in the kitchen. A convenient small grocery store is nearby with unexpectedly decent prices (G&M market?). It also has a pizza / sub shop inside along with a Dunkin Donuts if you don't want to make coffee at home. Even on an overcast day, the house and lake make for a great morning! Bar Harbor and other coastal towns are an easy ride south. Traffic can be bothersome, but you have to expect that in the peak season. The kayaks, canoe, and paddle boards were especially convenient and an added bonus. We used them to go to the islands in the middle of the lake and explore. Highly recommend doing that. Just pay attention to the signs indicating the nesting eagle habitat on one of the islands. My only suggestion is to add some sort of ladder on the dock so that the less mobile might have an easier time getting out of the lake. The floating dock did have a ladder which was great! Thanks again! ##### James P. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mikaela G.

The house was spotless and the property was incredible. We had so much family downtime together just grabbing the kayaks, canoe or paddle boards and just relaxing together. It was exactly what we needed. Also the proximity to Acadia National Park and Stephen King's house in addition to the gorgeous views and sunsets from the screened in back porch made this the perfect respite. We will definitely be back again. ##### Maureen B. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gail C.

Seating and spaces were perfect.Location is near Ellsworth and Bangor, but not too near.Lake was quite during our stay. Screened in porch was great in the evening. Boat rental option was nice.One note if you have small children stairs and balcony spindles have wider openings than new construction. ##### Gail C.
