Mount Desert Cabin | BigCamp - A Rustic Lake Oasis

2 Bedroom Cabin in Mount Desert, Mt Desert

BigCamp is a wonderful private camp that you will enjoy and won't want to leave; from coffee on the deck during quiet mornings to falling asleep to the sound of loons swimming the lake and calling to one another in the evening. We have enjoyed this lakefront cabin for over fifty years, and rent the cabin during weeks while we are not there. It is 22 minutes (11 miles) to Bar Harbor and 19 minutes (9.5 miles) to Acadia National Park where you can bike or hike the 100 miles of carriage trails.
Bigcamp feels more like a rustic lodge than a cabin and is surrounded by beautiful pines which create a bed of pine needles on this lakefront private property on Great Long Pond. A spacious deck with teak chairs and tables faces the lake. The large great room is MAJESTIC with its pine cathedral ceilings, walls, and floors, floor to ceiling fireplace, and 4 very large (4.5’ x 10’) windows for a GORGEOUS PANORAMIC view of water and mountains. The kitchen is well stocked including a large pot to cook fresh lobster and there is a gas grill on the back patio.
A newly remodeled spacious bathroom boasts a beautiful walk in shower, and includes a linen closet well stocked with towels and bedsheets.
The lake is nearly 4 miles long and feels soothing to your skin when swimming in its clean, velvety, spring fed water from the surrounding mountains. At the end of the lake you can rent kayaks and canoes or launch your small motorboat or sailboat.
We always say, it just doesn’t get any better than this! We are truly fortunate to enjoy this BEAUTIFUL piece of earth!

Summary: Enjoyed waking up to the wonderful views every morning. The boat deck chairs beckoned us to sit for a cup of coffee/tea as we lounged in the beginning of each day. This is a lovely olde camp, tastefully decorated and laid out. I loved the brass lamps, and the quality bedding. We were lucky to have shared the dock with a flock of friendly ducks one evening, and we even spotted the elusive loons in the distance. We enjoyed hearing the loons almost every evening, which brought about great memories of days past. The shower was nice & hot once it warmed up., and the towels were ample. There appeared to be an issue with the kitchen sink, as it was backing up whilst rinsing out our Gin & Tonic glasses, but thankfully the toilet flushed without issue. Apparently I did not pay close enough attention as to the lack of a washer & dryer, but all in all the view & serenity of the cabin would have us coming back for more. We have already referred this listing to another....

Summary: We absolutely loved our stay on Long Pond. The cabin is very classic old style but very well maintained and supplied. There is a nice gas grill and a well stocked kitchen. Picture windows facing the lake and a beautiful deck with lovely rocking chairs. Surrounded by trees the property is very private. The lake is quiet yet fun to enjoy the frequent kayakers and folks fishing. The owner was incredibly responsive to questions and inquiries - within minutes every time. Offered great advice on where to go for lobster and dinner, as well as local activities. We would enjoy staying again in the future!

Summary: Staying on Long Pond is so wonderful especially with the fabulous views from this cabin. Very private and quiet and with easy access to all of Acadia. I love the quiet side of the island and being far off the road surrounded by trees and of course steps from our private dock. Only thing I did miss was a washer/dryer but not a deal breaker. Thank you for sharing your fabulous place with us! We have already recommended it to friends after they saw our photos

Summary: Each year we search for a true cabin- rustic and NOT redone to be a subdivision home in the woods. It’s hard to find, but we lucked out with this gorgeous place! Great dock for easy swimming, ability to have a fire on cool nights and the best view EVER. Kitchen has every tool needed to make anything that inspires you- and Beech Mtn. Farmers Market is close by to provide fresh ingredients. Kayak rental on the same lake. And we could bring our dog! Comfy beds, soft linens and kind owners added a touch of magic. We didn’t want to leave and hope to be back soon!

Summary: We had a very nice stay at this home nestled in the pines on Mount Desert Island. The location is great for fishing from the dock or popping into the lake for a kayak, with eagles and osprey circling overhead. Our favorite spot was the deck in the morning - a perfect spot for morning coffee, and very comfortable rocking chairs.

Summary: Spectacular location on Long Lake. Older cabin, well maintained with all necessary amenities. Great for star gazing on the water. Easy access for kayaking and swimming. Very comfortable. You may have the opportunity to meet a very good magician. Cleanliness is 4 1/2 stars but the the form doesn’t allow it.
