Beech Hill Pond House


We have a small lakeside cottage on Beech Hill Pond, in Otis Maine. Otis is about 30 minute north west of Ellsworth, not far from the famous Maine coast.






The house was built in 1990 by Jonathan's father, Malcolm Hardy when he was 70 years old. He had a little help from our 90 year old neighbor, Rufus Merrill.






 The house is small, but clean, cozy and comfortable.

                                                                                        

                                

                          




 This is the living room.







This is the dining room/kitchen.

Jonathan built this float, and our dock.

              
The lake is spring-fed, about one mile by four miles long.


We have kayaks and a canoe, swings, a horse shoe pit, a float, a small dock and chairs for evening lake viewing.
