Me and my boyfriend came to Maine to hike in Acadia National Park and despite the distance (~40 mins) from ANP, decided to stay here. We didn’t regret the decision! We loved coming back here to relax at the end of the day. We even took advantage of the kayaks one morning. The area is just very peaceful overall and this cabin is very cozy.

Great place. You have to be ok with being 30-45 mins from Acadia -- if that's why you're in the area -- but otherwise, fantastic camp. Everything's as listed, clean, beautiful, comfortable. We enjoyed going to Schoodic and touring around some of the pottery studios. Also, hiked a bunch. The camp was a perfect place to come home to at end of day.

We had a wonderful stay at ‘On the Rocks’. The house was everything promised! We enjoyed watching the sunset on the deck, drinking beer by the warmth of the brazier and canoeing on the lake. The house itself was very well appointed and warm. WiFi worked well. We were so sad to leave!!

This little bungalow was perfect for the 2 of us. We couldn’t have any complaints if we tried. Highly recommend.

We are so happy we decided to stay out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and booked this place. We looked forward to waking up to the beautiful view every morning and seeing the gorgeous sunsets every night. The house was perfect and it came with everything we needed for our week long stay. The owners were also so easy to contact when I had a few questions. We hope to be back next year!

This is the first time the pictures didn’t do the place justice! “On the Rocks” was AMAZING!
It was clean, and had everything u could possibly need! We enjoyed kayaking around George’s pond! Loon’s and bald eagles were plentiful!
We will definitely make this a place to revisit!!!

On The Rocks is exactly as advertised. The camp is well appointed, very clean, and mere steps away from George's Pond. Enjoy beautiful sunsets with the call of loons and take advantage of the available kayaks to explore and see an eagle or two.
Visit Northeast Harbor and be sure to stop in at Colonel's Restaurant and Bakery....you can't go wrong with any selection.
Many thanks to our hosts for a great stay! We look forward to coming back!

The property was a very clean, quiet, restful place to return to after a day of sightseeing. My husband and I enjoyed having the kayaks available…sunset on the lake is beautiful.

Everything was great. I had some trouble finding the cottage using my Motorola Droid Max (Android) Google Maps. It sent me down the wrong driveway and was consistently wrong finding the address. It told me to turn on Benton Lane. On the otherhand, the Google Maps on my work I-Phone was spot on correct in locating the address. I am not sure why. The propane gas tank for the grill was empty. However, the Caretaker got it replaced that same day.

Cabin was beautiful. Right on George's Pond beautiful area. Comfy beds, roomy kitchen and bath for a Cabin, plenty of relaxing area after a day of hiking in Acadia. We loved it!
5.0
Our George’s Pond stay was splendid. Our hosts were very accommodating and run a great place on the pond.
The location proved quite breathtaking at dawn, dusk, sunny and cloudy. Moonlit or sunlit, our camp time was water and sky beauty. The charming indoor cabin area is small but well utilized. Enough sleeping space and an open unit for the communal area. I liked the multi-purpose stools for extra seating or as side table. Additionally, the butcher block table design offers up lots of uses.
Comfortably spotless...go housekeeping! The mattresses were firm and made for well rested mornings.
Bathroom and kitchen were well stocked: two observations from this traveler, 2-3 ply toilet paper and paper towels may be a worthwhile added expense to please old farts like me.
Also a couple of small bowls/ramekins would be a nice addition to the kitchen at a minimum of expense. People who do a lot of their own cooking often find a need for these.
We appreciated your flexibility with our Maine friends, it was so good to see them.
Happy to recommend “On the Rocks” to any and all Acadia bound visitors.
The wild blueberry fields were a warm welcome as we approached the camp.
Thank you thank you Mark and Stephanie.

Oh my gosh....this place was just delightful. Immaculate inside and out, and the view was gorgeous. Loons early morning and evening, a bald eagle, and even a pair of otters one evening. We loved it and can't recommend it enough. We stayed there with plans for the 20 mile drive to Acadia Park - which we did twice, but one day we hiked 5 miles away on Hidden Lake Trails near Donnell Pond. This cabin is a delight!

We stayed here for a long weekend with intentions of hiking Acadia multiple days but had a hard time pulling ourselves away from this beautiful lake. The house was perfect and had everything we needed. We used the kayaks daily and my husband could have fished all day. We would love to visit again!!

The On the Rocks camp was just what we needed. It was the perfect home base for us as we explored the coast. I have stayed a lot of places and I have never stayed anywhere that was exactly as advertised. I hope that it brings the same pleasure to others as it did us.
