We really enjoyed how peaceful the area is. It was nice to relax on the dock looking out at the lake. Also, without light pollution, the starry night skies were gorgeous!
An amazing place to stay while we explored Maine. Secluded , quiet , super clean and comfy Loons right off the dock , lots of loon calls at night . Fabulous stars when it isnât cloudy .
This is an amazing property. Itâs also incredible clean and well maintained. It fits the description perfectly to a T. Itâs a nice peaceful calming setting as well. Both of the hosts are very welcoming, and the instructions are also super simple and clear! I would recommend this to anyone and already want to come back!
The propery was as discribed, but to be honest the steps to the dock were very unsafe, wrotten wood and the other thing was the internet. We had very poor video streaming, we would have to reset the computer 8 to 10 times per show. This made the tv unwatchable.
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!
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
Stayed 4 nights in July 2025. The cabin was very clean and everything was in working condition (didn't use stove though). A/C worked well and kept us comfortable. The large bed was very comfy. WiFi was great; we streamed Netflix several times with no issues. Neighborhood is BEAUTIFUL and very quiet & serine.PROS:The view is amazing! Sipping coffee while watching kayakers, boaters, loons, and even a bald eagle doing some fishing and bathing. Nothing better than that.Very clean cabin with pretty much anything you might need for cooking.Kayaks with life vests and oars. Very nice perk, we had a ton of fun on the pond.Quiet getaway in a very nice quiet area.Responsive host (via text)Good wifi for streamingCONS (very minor):Just a warning and very much out of the hosts' control - Google maps led us to the wrong property a few doors down, so be aware and look for the address on the trees by the road (don't trust online maps).There are no closets to hang clothes except an over-the-door rack (only one hanger), but there are dressers for folded clothes.We lost balance a few times and then noticed the floor of the cabin's main bedroom and hallway are not level, which threw us off when walking in those areas. The cons are not a deal breaker, but wanted to mention them. We had a wonderful time and would definitely visit again.
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!
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 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!
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.
