Mount Desert House | Ripples Pond Retreat

3 Bedroom House with Fireplace, Guest Services and Balcony

Peace and wild beauty await! Welcome to Ripples Pond Retreat, a one-of-a-kind home nestled in an incredible wildlife sanctuary. Located on Acadia’s “Quiet Side,” Ripples Pond is a marshy pond conveniently close to all of Acadia's main attractions, and just a 5-minute walk to Long Pond. Yet with no public access, this sanctuary is sheltered from tourist activity and road noise. Enjoy nature's abundance right in your backyard through birdwatching and so much more on this magical property!
The house was built in 1960 and is truly a work of art. It has a beautiful open layout that directly overlooks Ripples Pond.
The 3.5 acre property is secluded away from the main road and offers many outdoor spaces: a sitting area with grill, huge open sunny lawn, picnic tables, hammock and cedar swing.
The abundance of wildlife to be witnessed here is extraordinary! Many birds, frogs, turtles, and other creatures make their home in the marsh. Sunrises are also spectacular!
A brand new cedar sauna can fit up to 8 people and is available to use for an added fee.
Kayaks, canoes, and paddle boards can be rented at the north end of Long Pond, a minute's drive away. A few bicycles are available to borrow at the house.
