Lovely cabin fully equipped. Easy access from Ellsworth. Cabin sits right on Georges Pond. Fast dependable internet. Had a storm that fried the modem and tower. The owners were quick to respond and had new equipment installed the next day, Owners are lovely friendly couple. I would stay again at this property. Would recommend this to friends and family.

My husband and I truly enjoyed our week-long stay. The cabin was just perfect! The loons called to us everyday. We loved using the kayaks. We saw an eagle up close, on the far side of Murch Island, while kayaking around the island. We felt that the cabin location was perfect, not too far from Acadia National Park and Bar Harbor, yet not too close to the crowds. We really enjoyed the Schoodic Peninsula section of Acadia as it was quite less crowded compared to the MDI section. The host of the cabin was kind and considerate. A nice person, for sure! We never wanted for anything. My husband and I highly recommend this rental property!

The photos depicted the property perfectly. It felt like we were staying a a "Maine Cabin Masters" home. We enhoyed the quiet of the neighborhood. Watched loons and ducks, and an occasional turtle. The screened in porch was our favorite place to view the pond. We used the canoe and had a wonderful time. We liked the location as it was easy to get to Bar Habor and Ellsworth. We would recommended this location to pur friends amd family. We were very surprised about the access to high speed internet services that could easily accommodate remote workers.

Great quiet property with everything you need. Clean, well equipped. Fishing was amazing. Thank you

This cabin was cozy with a beautiful setting on the lake. The morning and evening views out the back were spectacular! The easy 30 minutes to Acadia National Park and Schoodic Peninsula allowed for coastal site seeing.

The property was everything it promised to be and more! We are thinking of coming back in the summer and I will definitely try to get this place again. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay!

We’ll stocked cabin. Very clean. Cute cabin for two.

Really enjoyed our stay. It's hard to find rentals as nice as this property. This is a 5 star cabin.

The cabin was great for us. Loved being on the water and seating on the deck. The kayaks were fun. Paddled around the pond which where we live would be called a lake. Georges Pond is beautiful. Saw an eagle and loons. Very quiet. Not too many people on the pond. The cabin had everything we needed. Thanks to the owners for sharing their oasis.

Very nicely updated and decorated while remaining semi-rustic. Very comfortable and had everything you need to enjoy your stay. Hosts are super. We spent a week and although the weather wasn’t always perfect, the cabin, location and lake was. Enjoyed using the kayaks and listening to the lions calling each other. Highly recommend!

We loved the cabin! Fishing right off the dock was fun. We also used the kayaks and paddled around George’s pond. Hope to come back again sometime soon!

Host contacted me before arrival which was very much appreciated. Nicely updated in and out with new deck overlooking the water. Newer appliances worked great. Gas stove was a pleasure to cook on, just w/o burning anything the smoke detector would go off, so recommend moving that. Brand new grill; it looked like it was used once before so worked perfectly. Plenty of hot water and while the bathroom was good sized, the shower was small, but great water pressure. Beautiful lake front location. I was on a working vacation so sat on the screened porch almost all day everyday (was there for 2 weeks) and enjoyed the views and quiet. Lake is crystal clear and was relatively warm while we were there. While there are houses around the lake it doesn’t feel crowded and boat traffic was minimal, maybe 5-6 boats and about the same number of jet skis each day with people enjoying cruising, water skiing and tubing. So really no one on the lake including the weekends. Lake is small at less than 400 acres and a bit shallow with many rocks close to or just at the surface most of which are not marked, so if you are boating you need to be cautious. A cool feature of the lake is an area with a large boulder sticking out of the water where a diving board and flag pole with an American flag has been installed. Awesome. And did I mention the extremely comfortable Lazy Boy type recliners and couch? Only real downside was that there is no table for eating in the house. It is only on the screened in porch so as long as the weather is good and you eat dinner early, no problem. We were there the beginning of Aug. and there were some nights where for us, it was too cold. Also, we eat late. If you use the porch at night, especially to eat and have the ceiling light on, within 30 minutes there are loads of bugs flying around it. Screens are new and all worked fine so I’m not sure how to fix that. Also found blueberries at the end of the road and using the camp supplied cooking facilities and utensils we baked up some fresh blueberry muffins with enough blueberries left over for cereal and pancakes. As I said, we were there for two weeks and sad to go.

Small, nicely equipped, and nicely cared for camp in a pleasant setting. Easy access to Ellsworth and the Coast. The Rivards are friendly and helpful.

We had a great time at the cabin. We fished, swam, kayak'ed. Close to Acadia.

We wanted a quiet relaxing place to stay and this location was just what we needed.

We loved staying here. So smooth everything about it. No issues at all. We arrived late evening and did not have time to stop at the store for food etc but we were saved by the coffee pods in the morning that were there already! The little things right? Listening and watching the loons on the lake, sunset over the lake, the kayaks.. very peaceful. The pond is not over busy and everyone is very quiet so easy to enjoy peacefulness. Fully stocked kitchen cooking supplies pots pans cups dishes. All you need is your clothes and food! Thank you for everything!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was delightful to return to this quaint, quiet cabin after days of exploring around and in Acadia. We loved being able to sit at the table and enjoy the beautiful water. Don and Regina were very accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. We couldn’t imagine a better experience. Thank you!

This was a gem of a find. Cabin was spotless and beautiful, postures on a lake complete with serenading loons. Plenty of space for the two of us, lots of wonderful touches—our only regret was leaving. Thank you to our hosts for a fabulous, comfy stay!

Our stay was wonderful. Don & Regina had everything available you would need to stay. I can’t think of one item I should have brought along bc everything was provided. We had beautiful weather during the peak of fall foliage. The kayaks and canoe were an added bonus, relaxing way to spend day after hiking. The close proximity to Acadia National Park was great. It allowed for us to spend everyday there but be away from the tourist areas of Bar Harbor. We look foreword to heading back next year and bringing our kids along. Thank you both!

The cabin is in a beautiful, relaxing setting. The kitchen is stocked with everything you might need. Best kitchen in any rental we've been in to date. We saw lots of wildlife: chipmunks, otters, eagles, loons, and ducks. My husband fished twice a day. We stayed for two weeks. It was a most relaxing vacation. We would definitely stay here again.

Having vacationed to Acadia NP and Bar Harbor many times through out the decades and staying on Georges Pond several times, we find ourselves going home once again with picture perfect memories. Don and Regina host a very welcoming and cozy property. We enjoyed morning coffee with a family of three otters swimming by foraging for their breakfast...as curious about us as we were about them; viewing eagles soaring above while kayaking; loons drifting about peacefully singing their songs well into the night while we sat around a campfire toasting marshmallows. Acadia NP is always an adventure with something new to discover! Hikes, bicycling and amazing landscape visuals. Bar Harbor, as always, a delight!

My husband and I chose the property because it was close to Acadia (30-40 min), but far enough to get that ‘away from it all’ feel. The weather didn’t let us enjoy the water sports on the lake, but the sunsets were spectacular! The cabin itself is all updated and offers everything you need and then some. The hosts, Don and Regina, were awesome and quick to reply with general questions. Definitely a place we’ll return to, don’t hesitate, book this property!

Had an amazing time at this beautiful cabin on the lake. It was nice and relaxing, and catching fish from the lake was a lot of fun. Also was only around 30 mins to bar harbor and Acadia. What a great time, and will be back again!!!

Our vacation was wonderful at Black Bear Cottage. We really enjoyed kayaking and swimming in the lake and watching the sunsets every night from the dock was definitely a highlight. The new deck was also a great place to have coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening as we looked out onto the lake. The recommended Schoodic Mountain Trail was incredible and offered gorgeous views that made it worth the hike. The cabin's proximity to Acadia was also a great bonus. The Keurig was a nice touch! Overall, we had an amazing vacation and this cabin was the perfect little home away from home. Thank you for a lovely stay!

Our stay at the Black Bear Cottage was very comfortable & cozy. It worked out well for the 4 of us, close to Acadia and other attractions. The quiet setting on the lake was beautiful along with the sunsets while sitting on the outside deck. Kayaking early in the morning was relaxing too. Enjoyed our stay and we would stay here again if we returned to Maine.

Stayed for 7 nights with wife and 2 boys and had a wonderful time. Cabin is constructed beautifully, and they do a good job maximizing the space in the cabin. Being on the lake with kids we love to fish, and the boys caught small bass all night long, with a couple medium sized ones as well. Several kayaks and even a canoe available to use made it even better. All amenities you could think of were supplied which was awesome. All in all, wonderful rental with great owners who will take care of you if you need anything. Definitely recommend

The cabin was great! We had a blast on the lake. Lots of swimming and canoeing . The highlight was the diving board in the center of the lake. Many trips into Acadia and other nearby activities. So much to do and a great place to come home to every night.

Everything from the pleasant owners, to the newly remodeled cottage, beautiful lake setting, and the natural beauty of the Acadia Area was an incredible experience! Highly suggest this property for anyone wanting a relaxing time on the water while being only a short distance from all the hustle and bustle!
