The Boathouse is a waterfront cottage located on the shore of Hodgdon Pond, a fresh water pond on the west side of Mount Desert Island. Hodgdon Pond is very quiet and peaceful and is bordered by Acadia National Park that protects the watershed from future development on the east side of the pond.

Amenities include: The efficiency of one room living area with a queen size bed, kitchen with dinette, range and refrigerator and two chairs to relax in. The separate bathroom has a new walkin shower. There is a land line telephone where cell service can be limited due to the location. Satellite cable TV, and internet is also provided. The spacious deck has an outdoor grill. Newly updated heating and air conditioning system.

A wonderful week!

My husband and I were so thrilled to spend our visit to MDI at such a lovely home. The first day we saw a loon off of the deck. We enjoyed the space so much and hope to return again soon.

Early June Paradise!

We had an absolutely amazing stay in early June! We were able to enjoy paddling out on the pond, relaxing to the sounds of the frogs at night, and beautiful 65 degrees, sunny weather every day! We hope to go back soon - the cabin was just perfect!

Incredible Getaway

We had the most lovely stay at the cabin, tucked away in the woods and right on the water—it was incredible! The photos did not do it justice. We loved the kayaks, row boats, and canoe boat and we had such a wonderful time. We can’t wait to come back!

Private cozy cabin just close enough to all of MDI

Quiet cabin on a pristine pond bordered by Acadia National Park. We enjoyed the kayaks for a paddle with a loon, the misty mornings, and the easy drive to Southeast and Bar Harbors.

This cozy cabin was perfect for a week of hiking, biking in Acadia and enjoying the Bar Harbor area. Very efficient space with a beautiful view to enjoy every morning. We were very happy with the accommodations and will hopefully return someday.

Peaceful cottage with breathtaking view

My husband and I stayed here and loved the boathouse. It was so peaceful and had amazing views of the pond. It's in a great location close enough to downtown areas and hikes but far enough away that it was really tranquil. We also enjoyed staying in for the evening and eating dinner on the dock. The kayaks were also a great touch and we loved our morning paddle. Also, everything was clean, safe, and in working order. This is definitely a spot to return to.
