Nearby you will find excellent technical rock climbing faces and hiking trails at Eagle’s Bluff and Park’s Pond Bluff, and river kayaking/canoeing. Just 30 miles from Acadia National Park on Mt. Desert Island and minutes from the West Branch of the Union River, our Maine cottage is ideally situated and fully equipped to ensure that you have a pleasurable getaway in a beautiful setting. The large fully screened16'x20' timber frame porch with its wicker porch swing, table for 12, and comfy furniture beautifully complements the cottage's modern amenities and guarantees that you’ll enjoy the “outdoors” no matter what the weather brings. This brand new cottage is equipped with a full modern kitchen, a laundry room, two full bathrooms, one half bath, three bedrooms with queen beds and one large bunk room with 2 sets of bunk beds and one double futon.

Twenty miles to the west, the city of Bangor, home of best-selling writer Stephen King, offers many restaurants, Bangor International Airport, grocery stores, Hollywood Casino and Darling's Waterfront Pavilion for live concerts all summer. The city of Ellsworth, just 20 miles south of Hopkins Pond, is the gateway to Downeast Maine and Mount Desert Island, home of Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor.

So pack up a simple picnic, jump in a kayak or canoe and explore the rich, diverse shoreline, observe from a distance the nesting terns, the eagle fledgling and busy loons then stop on Blueberry Island for a quick swim and lunch before returning to Granite Cove.

Impressed with the lake and how clear the water is. There are nice hiking trails near but with a very good cook about 4 miles away”Shiela’s Treats” makes amazing catered food that gives you more time with the family and fun. Seeing Eagles while we were on the lake was a plus as well. Acadia National Park is a must drive too. Overall an amazing trip and well worth it. ##### Elias M.

The house was wonderful and had everything we needed to make our stay terrific. The location was great. We wanted a location where we could make short day trips to see the sights around Bangor and Acadia NP, while still enjoying days where we could just hang out at the lake. The property was beautiful with all the wildflowers in bloom. It was a perfect vacation spot for our family.

The screened in porch is where we spent most of our time reading in the swing, playing games at the very large table and hanging out together even when it rained. Beds were comfy, bathrooms were large and well stocked and the kitchen was perfect for making delicious meals! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Granite Cove!! ##### Erika L.

You couldn’t ask for more. Anita and Pat have built and furnished this home beautifully. There are kayaks aplenty to explore the pond and visit the loons who occasionally break the otherwise peaceful setting with their eerie calls and warbling. Best of all, Anita and Pat are the perfect hosts, ever responsive to any and all needs. The big screened in porch is perfect for meals. Grilling was easy and firewood available for the kids and their s’mores. As my granddaughter said about Barbie, it rates a 13 out of 10. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 42 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Erin D.

It was great for all ages - we had two adults, a grandmother, a 7 year old and a 1 year old. The attention to detail in their home is truly impressive. Every corner of the house feels thoughtfully designed, right down to the built-in baby gate at the top of the stairs, which was perfect for keeping our 1-year-old safe. It’s clear they’ve considered all the little things to make guests feel comfortable and at ease. The house itself is modern, stylish, and equipped with all the amenities you could need for a relaxing getaway. We didn’t even realize that we briefly lost power because they have a generator that kicked in and worked seamlessly. It didn’t impact our stay at all! The views from the house are stunning, especially in the fall with the changing leaves. We loved taking the kayaks out on the serene pond—it’s such a peaceful and scenic location. It is close enough to visit Acadia, Bar Harbor and Bangor too! Overall, this was one of the best stays we’ve had, and we can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing escape in a beautiful setting. ##### Erin D. Stayed 7 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Julia G.

They were very helpful. The layout was good with a bedroom for each adult couple and the bunk room by two of the bedrooms. The screened in porch was awesome! Highly recommend ##### Joey R.

An oasis from the hustle of life. The house was amazing, and beautiful. Very spacious to allow everyone to have their own space. It was a little to cold for the adults swim and kayak, but we enjoyed watching the kiddos in the pond. Would definitely recommend. ##### Crystal S.

The location is private, quiet and peaceful. Fully equipped kitchen plus lots of unexpected niceties such as - bug spray, clothes line to dry bathing suits and towels, flashlights, fire wood and kindling - just everything you could need. I would definitely recommend this home. I can’t wait to return! ##### Kathryn m. Stayed 7 nights in Jun 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### suzanne p. Jul 25, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### To small for ‘sleeps10’ Very pretty location. Pond is calm for canoeing and clear. House was very clean. Master bedroom was comfortable. Outdoor fire pit was great! A lot of the seating is firm and upright, (not overly comfortable). 8 of the advertised ‘sleeps 10’ beds were on the lower level with only one bath, no air conditioner and not great air flow. Bath towels stayed damp when hung overnight. Owners were very responsive when asked for a fan. But, overall the house was too small for our party of 8 adults. Looks bigger in pictures. ##### suzanne p. Stayed 7 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Jim R.

Just know that it’s a long way from stores or restaurants. Very quite and had a great experience. 👍🏻 ##### Jim R. Stayed 5 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Benjamin W.

The area around the camp is beautifully landscaped and provides a tranquil place to relax and enjoy nature. We enjoyed several nearby hikes and paddling on the pond. Eagle Bluff and Peaked Mountain trails provided amazing fall foliage views from the top of the impressive cliffs. Thanks to our attentive hosts for sharing their beautiful cottage in this special part of Maine. We look forward visiting again soon. ##### Benjamin W.
