Sobre aquest allotjament

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

  • Nuestra cabaña se encuentra en una hermosa península privada (1 1/2 Acres) con más de 1000 pies de frente al lago. Está perfectamente situado y cerca de todo: el Parque Nacional Acadia y Bar Harbor: histórico Castine; Blue Hill; etc .; Sin embargo, está alejado de todo, también. Acogedora casa de Maine con chimenea en forma de lágrima lo convierte en un lago escapada perfecta en uno de los lagos más deseables de Maine. Estanque de Craig es uno de los 10 Más Claras Lagos de Maine sin iguales en la zona. Todo el frente de cristal de la cabina ofrece unas vistas inolvidables de cada espacio. Construido antes de reveses, la cubierta de proa va a la derecha hasta el agua cristalina (la mayoría de los lugares tienen que retroceder cientos de pies del agua). Espectaculares vistas del lago desde todas partes en la propiedad. Completa privacidad y aislamiento, sin vecinos visibles permite la soledad y la serenidad de Maine es conocido por. Mascota amigable. 100% 5-Star reseñas! Todo lo que necesitas para unas vacaciones inolvidables en Vacationland. Garantizado! PS - Mirando por encima de los listados, me imagino que es difícil distinguir un lago de otro. La calidad del agua, la claridad del agua, vecino de proximidad y el desarrollo son difíciles de decir por anuncios o fotos. Estanque de Craig es considerado el mejor lago en cualquier lugar, y es la joya que todos los lugareños (y fuera de forasteros que conocemos) ver como el pináculo manos hacia abajo de los lagos de Maine. Sólo hay una docena de cabañas de modo totales en el lago y no son demasiado lleno como en algunos lagos. Este es el mejor secreto guardado de Maine y rara vez son los campamentos en la charca de Craig disponibles para alquilar. Nuestro calendario siempre se llena de inquilinos de retorno. Estancia en nuestra cabaña y verá por qué. 100% 5 estrellas!

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.

Repeat Guests!

Once again we had an awesome week at Jay's camp on Craig Pond - last year was June and the water a bit on the chilly side, this year was the last week of July and the water was perfect temperature for prolonged swimming, snorkeling or lounging on an inflatable. The camp location on the water could not be better. Loons, mergansers, kingfishers, ospreys, and hawks were common sights. We read on rainy days or played games. As soon as the sun came out we moved to the deck to recharge our batteries, then to a watercraft for exploring. This is amazingly clear freshwater for snorkeling so bring your equipment if you have it or buy some. At one point I was treated to being surrounded by hundreds of curious minnows and several interested sunfish as I dove to recover some lost fishing gear we happened upon during a perimeter paddle of the pond. This was reminiscent of snorkeling in the clear waters off the coast of Belize. Near the camp fat polliwogs at various states of development can be chased down for temporary collection and inspection by the kids. Some resident sunfish under the dock are always overly eager for tiny bread balls. For kids, dogs, and adults, this is a wonderful place to stay!

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.

Little Hidden Gem!

We were so excited for our first time here and it was better than we imagined! We were looking for a relaxing, quiet getaway for us and our pups and this place was just perfect! The cabin is so cute and has almost everything you need! The views from the deck and the living room were so beautiful especially as the light changed throughout the day. We loved that the cabin is on 1.5 acres of a peninsula and that we had the whole peninsula just to us to explore with the pups! The owner was great with communicating and answering any questions. The neighbor is very friendly and likes to come introduce himself in case you need anything or have any questions. We are looking forward to adding this as an annual family getaway! It was just so special and we are so thankful the owners share this little gem with people like us (and our pups!)! Thank you again!

Amazing place to stay

From the moment I reserved, Jay was so accommodating and helpful. Answered all my questions thoroughly, big and small. I requested early check in last minute as it was going to be our only sunny day and he made it happen. The camp road is fun but definitely requires at least an SUV. The property is wonderful with so many fun spots to explore. Having the boats at our disposal was awesome. The deck is a perfect spot and the view waking up can’t be beat. We had mostly cloudy, rainy weather and still had a lot of fun. We definitely want to return!

Peace and quiet

This place is in the middle of the woods so an suv or truck is probably best to access it. Once you get to the probably, the views are absolutely incredible and the only sounds you hear are the family of loons on the pond. It was so peaceful there and exactly what we were looking for. The communication with the property Manger was above and beyond our expectations.

Awesome Sauce

Husband and I ditched our original plans to go to Arcadia and play around with the kayaks instead. Yes, that's right. We took this trip for the sole purpose of going to Arcadia...but when we settled in....we didn't want to leave. Bring bug spray....citronella candle or mosquito netting for your head. Bugs were crazy, but its spring time and bugs get crazy during the spring. Get everything you need BEFORE you get to the cabin (food, alcohol etc)

Beautiful spot!

We had a wonderful time on Craig's Pond. I felt like I was at summer camp with paths leading through the wooded property to the boating and fire pit areas. The waterfront deck was a delight to spend time on. The pond is crystal clear. The owners just put in a new swim float and it was awesome! The jumping rocks are a paddle away and a great place to spend an afternoon. We were there over 4th of July and a few neighbors had a nice show of fireworks that my kids really enjoyed. One review mentioned the construction noise. There was construction noise but I'm assuming that is temporary. There is no wifi. You can make calls/texts but can't really get data to support any apps. Opportunity to truly get away. My kids were happy to get in town so they could update their Insta accounts with all their pictures. :) I highly recommend this rental. We had a fantastic time.

Secluded, lovely views and great location.

My husband and I stayed here with our dogs to get away from the city. We loved the location, property was on its own peninsula with water and Mountain View’s all around. Neighbors where quiet and far apart. We loved taking the kayaks out and exploring the very large, beautiful pond. The house was very well appointed with everything we would need, and great views from the two story high front windows. Beds were comfortable. Stove, grill and fire pit gave us plenty of cooking options which was nice. The indoor fire place was romantic and cozy. We saw loons all over the pond and a family of ducks all week. Property is only 15min to Fort Knox which is a cool peace of history to explore. Also, the property owner Jay was great, informative and quick to respond. The only negative thing to note was every single morning around 7:30 we heard chainsaws and trucks across the pond loudly cutting down trees/branches for hours, it took away what would of been the quiet peaceful mornings we came out here to enjoy. Other than that it was a beautiful property/location that we would recommend to others.

Enjoy a wicked sweet slice of Maine!

This was our third stay at Jay's property on Craig Pond and it will not be our last. The location is ideal with a deck right at the water's edge. The deck and camp are facing an awesome view with almost no signs of human activity. The neighbor's are friendly, generous, and helpful and far enough away to barely be heard. If you choose to swim or snorkel...and why the heck wouldn't you... you will find the spring fed pond is some of the clearest fresh water you will ever swim in. We got some great underwater videos of dozens of friendly sunfish off of the peninsula point. There were a ton of polywogs that the kids love to catch and release. Loons, merganser ducks, king fishers, and eagles are a daily sight. This was our first year to be at the camp for the 4th of July celebration. With fireworks legal in Maine now we were not surprised to hear and see some, but we were surprised by the the amount, duration and impressive quality! It started promptly at 9:00 pm. It appeared that there were 5 or 6 camps participating and trying to outdo each other. We did see some lights on Great Pond Mountain - people were up there watching - and that sounds like a nice thing that we may do next year - that vista allows a great view of several nearby lakes and ponds and from the distant sounds there were fireworks going off on Alamoosook Lake and the Toddy Ponds as we - all nicely visible from the mountain top. The fireworks reached a crescendo but mostly ceased politely by 10:00. The other two years we stayed here (not the 4th of July week) there were no fireworks whatsoever, and there were only a few fireworks on the 5th. So either enjoy the 4th knowing what may a happen or avoid it if you wish. We swam several times each day and could stay in the water for a full 30-60 minutes without getting too cold. All in all this is a wonderful secluded place to stay (with kids and dogs or not) and a major grocery only 15 minutes away in Bucksport (beer, spirits and basics are even closer at the nearby gas station). Boat traffic on the pond is minimal but expect some tubers and pontoon boats to motor by occasionally. Be sure to use the kayaks and/or canoe provided to explore the whole pond - the ledges are beautiful up close. The host, Jay, is quick to respond if you have any issues. Enjoy a wicked sweet slice of Maine!

Perfect place to getaway from it all.

Jay's cabin was the perfect lakeside escape from it all. We spent our days at Acadia, came back to the cabin, enjoyed some wine on the deck and relaxed by the fire in the evenings. Wish we could've had better weather while we were there to enjoy the fire pit outside! The weather finally cleared up on the last day we were there to take out kayaks out on the lake. My first time in a kayak and it was so much fun! Very peaceful and relaxing cabin. Jay was quick to answer our texts and emails with any questions or concerns we had.

We are return visitors to this delightful spot for a reason, or I should say for many reasons. Again, it did not disappoint, and if possible is more beautiful than we remembered. We all agree our skin is so soft after daily swims in the pond. Thank you, Jay, for continuing to allow others to enjoy your peninsula paradise. Neighbors are so nice too!

Beautiful quiet lake vacation spot

The only lake rental we have ever returned to because the water is crystal clear and the spot is like no other. After a mile down a bumpy camp road you find yourself in a secluded, quiet spot. A rustic small camp with windows overlooking the lake will make you forget about everything you left behind. The camp is situated on a peninsula with a perfect spot for a campfire to watch the sunset and end your day. Close to Acadia and other great hiking and biking spots.

Awesome!

The Craig's Pond camp was just as the the write up had described it but even better. We canoed, kayaked, swam, snorkeled, cooked out on the grill, sat around in the sun, and read a whole lot (750 pages of Steven King's It for me - I still have another...400 pages to go - and four books for my wife). The camp library was nicely stocked with an interesting array of books on nature and local interests. I learned I can eat a whole lot of what grows in Maine as bushes, flowers, trees, and weeds from Tom Seymour's excellent book. Reading the history of Craig's Pond book was enlightening as to how rare it is to be able to own property on this gem and how important it is for those fortunate families who can call the pond theirs during the summer months. I grew up in Bucksport, only a few miles from Craig's Pond, and spent numerous occasions visiting the public beach for swims and several times swimming all the way over the ledges for free fall jumps of dizzying heights (and swinging on the fabled rope-swing - see Craig's Pond history book) but being able to spend a whole week on the pond without knowing that my mom was picking me up in a few short hours was a fantastic opportunity to unwind. The placement of the camp and deck on the peninsula was brilliant as the view from the camp's deck decades later remains void of almost all traces of civilization's encroachment. I decided not to bring any fishing gear, but I will next year as early morning and evening, when the winds subsided, surfacing salmon and/or trout were plentiful. The water clarity remains, as I remember it as a kid 30 years ago, amazingly clear - probably due to the lack of camps (only a hand full of which have actual lawns). The water was refreshing for me and a bit on the cool side for my wife, but I had no problem being in for 15 minutes or so. Our dog (not a swimmer) was welcome and he had a great time. There are plenty of opportunities for kids to swim safely as one side of the peninsula is shallow while the other side drops off much quicker. I was able to dive off of the dock without any trouble, however, that may not be the case in July and August if the water level goes down. We traveled to Ellsworth twice to dine at The Mex (yum).
