Tranquil Lakefront Cottage Near Acadia Nat’l Park.

Indulge in the feeling of seclusion from an expansive deck overlooking a peaceful lake away from the hustle of everyday life. Enjoy daily swimming in the lovely gravel bottomed swimming area at the foot of the hill, although there is no beach. Savor spectacular sunsets on the deck after supper. Cottage has 1 large kitchen/dining/living room with 2 separate bedrooms and one full bath which is outside on the screened-in porch. The front bedroom has a queen bed & lake views while the back bedroom has a forest view with a double bed. There is one large front deck, and 1 small screened in side porch.

I do use the cottage myself when not rented & I have a Siamese cat that I bring with me. Please be aware of this if you have allergies. :)

I rely on a hot spot for internet service, so it is not unlimited & you’ll need to be conservative in it’s use. There’s not enough data to watch any kind of videos, I’m afraid.

Also, I had my well water evaluated last year & it didn’t pass the potability test, so I provide 6 gallons of spring water to get you started, although you may need to buy more if you do a lot of cooking while there.

There is no fire pit at the property as it is in the middle of the woods & an unnoticed spark could be a disaster.

Patten's Pond Stay
The property is extremely well maintained and has all the necessities for an extended stay. The lake is beautiful and Cindy kept the lake water just warm enough for us to enjoy swimming. The property is conveniently close to a convenience store and two towns with bigger stores if anything more is needed. We recommend at least one visit to the Dairy Port ice cream store in Bucksport. Of course, we mean at least one visit per day. We had a great time and will try to stay again during our next Maine visit. The Taylors

Very basic cabin
The bathroom is outside on the porch and not inside the cabin. There is no main heat throughout the house and the gas wall heater goes out constantly and the floor was freezing from lack of insulation under it. The place was clean.

Secluded but never isolated
What a perfect rustic property. It felt like returning home though it was our first trip to Maine. Beautiful views from the deck, great kayaking from the dock, and close enough to Ellsworth and Acadia to really enjoy the region when we could tear ourselves away from the lake. We barely knew there were other houses around but we never felt isolated. Just the right balance.

Peaceful week on Patten Pond
The cottage is nicely located on a terrace above the pond. It has a beautiful deck partly shaded by tall white pines. There is a natural stone path down to the excellent dock on the pond. (The steps might be hard for seniors or small children). The kitchen is nicely equipped for cooking light meals. The bathroom has been recently updated and the washer and dryer are excellent. The bedrooms, like most cottages, small but both have closet space and drawers for clothes. Access was good and plenty of parking for up to three vehicles. We relied on our cellphones for internet access and reception is excellent, but the wifi limited to a hotspot is very sketchy. Cindy was very easy to communicate with and provides good instructions on most items. We had an excellent week touring local site and eateries and found the cottage met our needs. We would stay here again. Thanks Cindy.

Tranquil Lakeside Cottage
This cottage is a hidden gem! Not far from Route 1 (access to everything you need is within a few miles), you end up at a lovely cottage that seems miles away from everything overlooking a quiet Upper Patton Pond. We saw a few kayakers, one tiny sailboat, and two low-speed power boats during our stay. My husband caught several fish off of the new dock, and I was able to sit on the deck or screened-in porch and read to my heart's delight. The bed was comfortable, and the cottage was well-stocked with everything we needed. We were grateful for the fans provided as it was very warm and humid during our stay. We would definitely go back!!

Peaceful Cabin With Great View Of Lake
We enjoyed our stay at this lakefront cabin. Although the location is isolated, we enjoyed the peaceful setting, especially the large porch that overlooks the lake. The cabin was comfortable and spacious. The only drawbacks were that we had to use bottled water for all drinking (as the well water had not passed inspection) and we were instructed to limit WiFi use due to data restrictions. Both of these limitations were not disclosed in the listing for this property, neither at the time we reserved it for our stay nor at the time of this review. We were only informed of these restrictions by direct e-mail shortly before our stay.

Peaceful and beautiful setting overlooking Patton pond
This cozy cottage had a beautiful water view right from our bedroom window. Also from the deck, porch and family room. We arrived at night so it was a little challenging to find the cottage because it is down a short but steep hill. We could see the roof first. No problems after that. We were concerned about lighting the heater pilot light when we arrived but Cindy was so accommodating and stayed late so she could show us how it worked. No problems after that. It is rustic but very clean and nice. Updated bathroom and nice shower with washer and dryer. It was close to Ellsworth and Acadia. We really enjoyed our stay and hope to return again next summer or autumn.

Private; Quiet; Peaceful; Excellent view of pond and sunsets
We were hoping for a place that felt private; was quiet and had a great view. We stayed a week in early September after labor day. It was all of the above and we even got to see and hear loons, a bonus! The road in was all dirt and very wooded, prior to coming to such a wonderful view of the pond. The deck is huge and it was nice to have the option to sit in the smaller screened in porch, which was also how you accessed the modern bath and laundry room. Both screen and bathroom door lock for those that have concerns. In September, you will want to wear slippers and a robe to the bathroom, which was right outside of the living area, as it's a few steps in the outside air. The kitchen area was a little small to work in but it's an older cottage, so to be expected but it had everything you could possibly need and some. Fans in every room. The bedroom with a queen has a sliding door. Upon leaving, you have to walk past the other bedroom which does not have a door for full privacy, if that is a concern. I did read someone hung a curtain or shower curtain for more privacy? We had no issues with the shower, plenty of hot water. Nice and modern and clean. We never turned on the one tv, so I cannot comment on that. I also did not walk down the stone/rock steps to the pier but my husband did. Just take your time and watch your step. We found the two chairs comfortable for reading in. As for the screened porch, I could picture two rockers there. It did have a small table and straight chairs for having coffee in the morning without being bothered by bugs. A larger round table on the deck with two loungers as well. The grill had an issue but we knew ahead of time because of good communication with Cindy. So we managed to pan fry our steak and chicken tips and had one meal of pasta. We could have cooked seafood at the cottage but chose to visit a few restaurants for seafood in Ellsworth and in Bar Harbor. We would definitely recommend the Union River Lobster Pot in Ellsworth and the hours were from 5 to 830 pm everyday and they do not take reservations and fill up fast. It is bigger than it looks. First room was with ac. Second room was a covered screen porch. Or sit outside under individual tables with canopies or tables with umbrellas or in Adirondack chairs facing the river! The food was very good, and our cocktails too. We had a great experience at the cottage and Cindy was very helpful answering all of my questions and promptly. G & D from N.H.
