Lake Retreat: Beach, Kayaks, Loons near Acadia

Wake up to loons calling across the water - and if you're lucky, spot an otter along the shore. This bright, renovated 4BR home sits right on Green Lake with floor-to-ceiling views, a semi-private beach steps from the door, and everything you need for a proper Maine getaway. Paddle out on a kayak, canoe, or paddleboard, then gather around the fire pit for s'mores under a sky full of stars. Acadia is 45 minutes away, but most guests end up spending more time at the lake than they planned. The space The house comfortably sleeps 8 guests across four bedrooms, all located on the second floor (accessed by stairs). Two queen bedrooms offer serene lake views - the perfect way to start each morning. The other two bedrooms each feature a full bed, comfortably sleeping two. All bedrooms include blackout shades for a restful night’s sleep. The open-plan living and kitchen area faces the lake directly, with floor-to-ceiling windows that fill the space with natural light and water views from almost every angle. The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a full oven and stove, dishwasher, and coffee maker - everything you need for relaxed group meals at home. The large dining table comfortably seats everyone for leisurely breakfasts, shared dinners, or evening games after a day on the water. It’s the kind of place that feels just as good on a rainy afternoon as it does on a sunny one. The fully screened-in porch, one of the home’s standout spaces, is furnished with comfortable lounge seating - ideal for morning coffee, afternoon reading, or long evening conversations in fresh lake air, bug-free. Outside, walk straight down to your semi-private beach for swimming, paddling, or simply sitting by the water. We provide 3 kayaks, a canoe, and 2 paddle boards - enough for the whole group to get out on the lake together. Green Lake is also a fantastic spot for fishing. The garden includes a BBQ grill, fire pit with seating, and an outdoor dining table - ideal for lobster cookouts and long summer evenings by the lake. Two dedicated parking spaces are located directly in front of the house, with additional parking available in the lot at the top of the driveway. A private washer and dryer are available for guest use. You won’t find a television here - instead, the home is stocked with board games and puzzles for evenings when you’d rather slow down. High-speed Wi-Fi is available for anyone who needs to stay connected. G&M Family Market in Holden is about 10 minutes away for groceries and essentials. Bar Harbor, Ellsworth, and Bangor are all within easy driving distance for dining, shopping, and entertainment - including the Waterfront Concert series in summer. Please note that all bedrooms are located on the second floor and accessed by stairs. The home is not suitable for guests with mobility limitations. Guest access The garden and outdoor areas are private to your group. The beach is shared only with our neighboring sister cabin - making it ideal for two families or groups traveling together who want their own space while staying close. The home is accessed via a keypad code - no need to coordinate arrival times. Please note there are external security cameras at the front door and driveway. Other things to note To keep the home in great shape for everyone, we ask that guests use only the septic-safe toilet paper provided and avoid flushing anything else - we'll have it stocked and ready for you. No pets or smoking, please.
