About this property

Perfect Lakeside Getaway - Craig's Pond Cabin (45m from Acadia National Park)

Our cabin is located on a beautiful private peninsula (1 1/2 Acres) with over 1000ft of lake frontage. It's perfectly located & close to everything: Acadia National Park & Bar Harbor: historic Castine; Blue Hill; etc.; Yet tucked away from it all, too. Cozy Maine cottage with teardrop shaped fireplace makes for a perfect lakeside get-away on one of Maine's most desirable lakes. Craig's Pond is one of Maine's Top 10 Clearest Lakes with no equals in the area. Entire glass front of cabin offers unforgettable views from every space. Built before setbacks, the front deck goes right up to the crystal-clear water (most places have to be set back hundreds of feet from the water). Spectacular views of the lake from everywhere on the property. Complete privacy & seclusion with no visible neighbors allows for the solitude and serenity Maine is known for. Pet friendly. Everything you need for an unforgettable holiday in Vacationland. P.S. - Looking over listings, it's hard to tell one lake from another. Water quality, water clarity, neighbor proximity & development are hard to tell by listings or photos. Craig's Pond is considered one of the best lakes around. There are only a dozen or so total cabins on the lake and it’s not overly crowded. Our calendar fills up with return renters. Stay at our cabin and you'll see why. 100% 5-star reviews!

Couldn't ask for a better week
We enjoyed a beautiful week on Craig Pond. We spent hours swimming and playing in the crystal clear water with the dogs. The location is extremely private but still convenient enough to explore nearby towns to find things to do.

Upta Camp
This is the fourth time we’ve stayed here. The place is great if you realize you’re going into camp. It’s not a five star hotel but I’d take this place over any five star in the world. You can’t beat the location and everything you need to enjoy the pond is there for you. I always come out of there totally relaxed and recharged. Looking forward to returning in the future.

Tranquility and Privacy
I seriously considered giving a 1-star review because I don't want anyone else to find this little slice of perfection. This is a wonderful and charming cabin in the woods on a private peninsula, with all the peace and quiet you could hope for. Most of our time was spent lounging on the deck reading and unwinding. The owner was very helpful and attentive while also respecting our privacy. We could easily have gone the whole visit without seeing another human being. We will be visiting again for sure.
