On The Rocks was as beautiful as you can imagine fall in Maine would be! You literally are right on the lake, view is gorgeous. The cottage is very comfortable and has everything we needed, close to hiking and seeing the coastline of Maine. We enjoyed our stay very much!
Loved staying On the Rocks. Nice size cabin for twoâŠwith everything we needed. Beautiful views! Great suggestions on places to visit and eat ⊠their restaurant was wonderful! Only complaint was the mattress. Plenty of fish and eagles to watch!
The house was cozy, super clean and the view was astounding! Kitchen had new appliances and was fully stocked with dishes, pots and pans etc. Loved starting the day with a cup of coffee enjoying the view of the pond. Highly recommend.
Didn't want to go back home the cottage was so cozy and the pond so beautiful. Everything we needed was on site, clean & worked well. We ate at the owners' restaurant on Desert Island andenjoyed that too.
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 availableâŠsunset on the lake is beautiful.
Property was spotless, well-equipped and very comfortable. Easy to communicate with owner when we had a question. Easy trip to local areas of interest, yet felt worlds away from tourist bustle. We spent many tranquil and restorative hours just gazing at the pond and watching the loons.
We enjoyed our time One the Rocks! Such a nice peaceful area. The camp was very clean and we wanted for nothing. We enjoyed the peace and quiet away from the hustle and bustle of the busier areas, but the drive wasn't too far to go anywhere. My husband went out on the kayak and found a bald eagle in it's nest! We would love to go back!
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!
Cabin was perfect. Quiet and comfy. No problems at all. Maine is beautiful. There is even a little spa down the street called Deweyâs. Hair, mani/pedi and tanning bed. Much needed R&R.
We had a wonderful stay at âOn the Rocksâ. 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!!
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!
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 didnât 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.
This is the first time the pictures didnât do the place justice! âOn the Rocksâ was AMAZING!
It was clean, and had everything u could possibly need! We enjoyed kayaking around Georgeâs pond! Loonâs and bald eagles were plentiful!
We will definitely make this a place to revisit!!!
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.
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.
We had a great week of summer vacation at "On the Rocks". The house has been renovated wonderfully and it's furnished with everything that you need for your stay. Bring your groceries and you can cook, bake, grill, etc. Everything you would have in your home kitchen is already provided.
The deck literally sits over the water and we had a great time fishing right off the private dock. The two kayaks were a great bonus and we had a lot of fun exploring the lake.
We chose to get out early every morning to explore Acadia and we came back in the late afternoon to enjoy the lake in the evenings. The summer sunsets on the lake are really pretty and the fish start biting once the sun dips below the treeline.
Mark is also a very responsive owner and he gave us great restaurant recommendations. We selfishly ate some type of lobster dish daily and it was totally worth it!
We would gladly come back here in the future.
Easy living on a lakefront property, itâs what a vacation is all about! Far enough from the hustle and bustle of Mount Desert Island, but an easy commute.
