Acadia National Park: Acadia National Park: In 1913, President Woodrow Wilson set aside 6000 acres (within what is now Acadia National Park) as Sieur de Monts National Monument. With the acquisition of more land and private support and funding, in 1919 President Wilson signed an act establishing Lafayette National Park. In 1929 the park's name was changed to Acadia. Acadia National Park was established to protect the area's spectacular scenic values, Maine's rock bound coast, its coastal and its offshore islands as characterized by the geologic features, natural history and the native plant and animal life. Forty five miles of rustic carriage roads weave around the mountains and through the valleys of Acadia National Park, the gift of philanthropist John D Rockefeller, Jr., and family. Rockefeller, a skilled horseman, desired to travel on motor free byways via horse and carriage into the heart of Mount Desert Island. His efforts resulted in roads with sweeping vistas and close up views of the landscape.

Cadalic Mountain: Cadillac Mountain: At 1,530 feet, Cadillac Mountain is not only the tallest mountain in Acadia National Park, but also the tallest mountain along the eastern coast of the United States. Rising high above the town of Bar Harbor, Cadillac Mountain offers magnificent views of the Porcupine Islands and Frenchman Bay. Explore the summit of this granite mountain along a .3-mile trail, which includes wayside exhibits about natural and human history. Portions of this trail are accessible to wheelchair users. Cadillac Mountain is accessible via a winding, narrow, 3.5-mile road. The road is closed from December 1 through April 14 and whenever weather conditions (e.g., dense fog or ice) require.

This is our third year staying at this cabin. We absolutely love it, and honestly the only reason that we wouldn’t continue to stay that I can think of is if we eventually bought our own place on this lake. Josh is great to work with, very responsive. The cabin is always super clean (I am absolutely a hotel snob, so this is exceedingly high praise coming from me!) Hands down the cleanest lake property I’ve ever been in. The kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay (including a dishwasher), and the grounds are kept up nicely. Air conditioning works great, as does the tankless hot water heater. And if you want to rent a boat, Josh can hook you up with that too. Definitely give this place 10/10

beautiful, clean cabin

The cabin was extremely clean and had all the supplies you need. The house is a direct walkout to the lake and perfect for spending the day paddling, swimming etc. Very peaceful at night with the loons calling. Our family with two teens loved it.

Perfect Lake Retreat

This was such a great pick for our family. Beautiful view, all the toys you need for lake living. Though it is a longer drive than we thought to everything, it was still a great place. Quiet, serene and a beautiful sunrise every morning.

Wonderful and relaxing

This is the second time we’ve stayed in one of Josh’s properties. The house was spotless when we arrived. Fully equipped with all you could need - canoe, kayaks, pots and pans, dishwasher. Bedding was nice and plenty of towels. Property was quiet - especially during the week. We watched the loons and bald eagles daily. Our golden retriever loved swimming in the lake and chasing frisbees off of the dock.

This camp was perfect! The view and lake access were amazing and we had a camp fire nightly. My husband caught a 15” smallmouth bass off the dock and my mom loved reading her book by the water. Bar Harbor and Acadia National Park are less than an hour drive. The camp was beautiful inside, very clean, and included everything needed…even complementary s’more supplies. Our dog took many naps on the dock.

Perfect getaway

We were very pleased with our trip to the Beech Hill pond property. The house is adorable and was clean and well stocked upon our arrival. The pond is clear and large. We enjoyed 3 days on a pontoon boat that we rented from Josh, who delivered it right to the dock and even showed us the ins and outs of the lake. He was a great host and very easy to communicate with. It was cool to watch bald eagles and seaplanes flying over the pond. Acadia NP, Cadillac mountain and Bar Harbor were an easy drive away and made for fun day trips. Thanks Josh! We would definitely return to one of your properties!

August 2023 Vacation

We have been booking through VRBO for years and I believe this is the top property we have rented. When we first saw the property it is evident that The Greer's have much pride in their properties. The house was immaculate and all touches are first class. There was not one thing we needed that wasn't already provided. We loved hanging out on the dock and the wildlife was fantastic! My son and grand daughter loved the kayaks and canoe. I would highly recommend this property for any vacation!

The cabin was pristine, the lake was clean and warm, and the location was fantastic! We will absolutely be back! Side note: while you feel like you’re away from it all (enjoy the absolute silence in the evenings!) Instacart does deliver there…so you don’t need to trudge into town and lose lake time getting those random forgotten items.
