Memories Made Here -Maine Loon House-AcadiaNP/Downeast-Lakefront-WiFi/TVs-Kayaks

Built in 2010 - 40 minutes to Bangor, Acadia National Park, or Schoodic. 20 minutes to Ellsworth. This newer modern, clean, lakefront house on a quiet, wooded, 4 acre site (not crowded next to other houses), is on Abrams Pond. Great swimming, fishing and boating can be had here. All located on a private dirt-road which allows for safer walking or biking. Very child friendly. The perfect spot from which to explore Downeast Maine. The house is easily accessible by car, the last 1/2 mile down a car-friendly dirt road.

On the main level are a deck, screened porch with kids picnic table and adult chairs , open deck with gas barbecue grill, table with chairs & umbrella, kitchen w/ Dish Washer, dining/living room, MBR/MB w/ jetted tub and standup shower.

Available May-November: Spring is the great awakening -- fishing and bird-watching are both at their best -- a chance to savor the long days without the summer crowds.
Summer hardly needs mentioning -- July 4th parades and fireworks, boating, swimming, hiking, fishing, relaxing, eating -- classic Maine!
Fall is for foliage (peaking around the second-third week of October) and festivals, as well as boating, swimming, hiking, hunting, etc.
Rents by the week (Saturday-Saturday). Hand-built by local craftsman, this house is truly one-of-a-kind.

Great Spot
We loved our stay at the Loon House! A beautiful home where we could have spent many more weeks, and a great home base for exploring the area.

Needed less of Lee
Property, neat, had everything you could possibly need, just as advertised. Heard Loons at nite, pond is peaceful and pretty. If you want to cook Lob stah-well you in right place! Perfect pot, many different “shell crackers” we loved it. Unfortunately hurricane Lee shut down our trip early-only was to get out was to leave Thirsday. This vrbo restored our faith in the company as a whole. The last few we rented had issues. None whatsoever here. Beds comfy, plenty o hot water. Huge kitchen, porch awesome for morning coffee. Did Arcadia, Bar Harbor, Canada including St. Andrews which was charming! Ate nothing but seafood for five days! Still didn’t try it all! This is a top notch place for families, great for me and wife who are both in 60’s too.

Beautiful, clean , perfect
This is our second time staying here. We fell in love the first time. As soon as you walk in you smell that the house was just cleaned and fresh. The house is perfect for a family and near all attractions. The host responded quickly to all questions and was a perfect Jose. Highly recommend.

About the host

Hosted by Mitch Goldman

Host profile image
My parents bought this property in the early 60's: They were both teachers and had summers free to live in Maine. As a result I vacationed and summered in the area for my whole childhood life. I held jobs in the blueberry business both raking by-hand and on a farm co-op receiving and transfer station. I grew to appreciate the abundant wildlife and natural beauty that this site and the surrounding area had to offer. I learned that Acadia National Park is the only National Park in the North East. By day, if it wasn't blueberry season yet, I swam in the lake, read (you'll have tv and internet), hiked or biked down the dirt road or just generally communed with nature. The Owls, Loons, Toads and Cicadas are a nightly symphony.

Now I bring the kids back to do the same. They love to wander on the dirt road, swim, kayak, play ping pong, and air-hockey, and have the nightly campfire and s'mores. All on a quiet and private 4-acre lake-front site.

Why they chose this property

Lake-front site across a dirt road from 100's of acres of Blueberry field.
It is a great location with relatively easy access to Ellsworth, Bangor (I-95), Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park (ANP) and the less-crowded but still spectacular Schoodic Peninsula section of ANP. Please contact me if you have any questions.

What makes this property unique

4-acre lake-front site across dirt road from 100's of acres of Blueberry field. Built in 2010, 3 levels of living. Full kitchen with Dish Washer, Washer & Dryer, WIFI, two 45" Flat Screen with DirecTV & Netflix button (byo account info), 4 kayaks (and paddles and vests) included, Ping Pong table, Air Hockey table, Mini-Basketball, Computer with Internet Access, DVD player, VHS player, AM/FM Stereo. Full size fridge, 5 burner stove, dishwasher. Air Conditioners in MBR and upstairs. Heat in all rooms. Lake views from all rooms. Unique walkout basement with 2 sliders and French doors. French Doors to Screened Porch off Kitchen/LR lead to open deck with gas bbq and patio table.
