Mount Desert House | Pondfront Home on MDI with direct access to Acadia National Park.

3 Bedroom House in Mount Desert, Northeast Haarbor

DIGBY LODGE is pink. The summer home of Caroline Duhring Baltzell, mother of University of Pennsylvania Professor E. Digby Baltzell, Chair of the Department of Sociology and creator of the term WASP, is nestled within Acadia National Park with a 15-minute drive to Bar Harbor--you have direct access to Park trails, and Norumbega Mountain is directly across the reservoir (no swimming allowed). The trail around the pond is a leisurely thirty minute walk. The house faces west, and the sunsets are lovely. There is an expansive deck where you can read, rest or just watch and listen to very active loons and bald eagles.
Built in 1895, it is a Victorian that has a formal dining room and three working fireplaces. The kitchen has a six burner dual-fuel convection range. The dishwasher is in the pantry. There are two full baths upstairs; one with a wood rail antique copper tub, and the other with a modern steam shower. The basement contains two washers dryer sets.
Amenities include two Samsung flat screen smart TVs . The living room also has DirecTV. There is hi speed WiFi and a wireless printer. Cell phone service is generally excellent.
There are canoes available. All occupants are required to have a personal flotation device ("pfd" i.e. a life jacket). Paddles and lifejackets can be found in the closet and drawers of the boathouse.
It is now run by her grandson Francis Baltzell and his partner Gabriella Irazabal who live in an adjacent house on the property and are available if needed. We are surrounded by Acadia National Park and do not have any neighbors.

Summary: We had such a wonderful time at Digby Loge. The house is absolutely beautiful, comfortable and has all the amenities one can hope for. The location is unbeatable and we had so much fun exploring Acadia. Gabriella and Frank were wonderful hosts and we hope to have the privilege of staying there again.
