Boathouse Cottage sur une grande plage privée avec vue sur le coucher du soleil, la montagne et le lac

This property was perfect for our family getaway (including dog!): right on beautiful lake, lovely sand beach complete with hammock, floating dock for diving/fishing, canoe/kayaks supplied; no need to leave property except for supplies. Owner readily accessible for any questions/needs. The property looked great on VRBO, was even better in person! Thanks Andrew.

First, my lack of eloquent style of writing will not do the description of this property or our vacation justice. All 5 of us agree this was one of the best vacations we've taken. First, we were truly able to disconnect from it all. It gave us and our 3 children a new appreciation for putting electronics on hold and focusing on each other. I was pretty nervous about this, but there is so much to do we didn't notice. Each day there was a new adventure. We kayaked, fished, swam, played board games, hiked, mountain biked, visited Acadia and Bar Harbor, played corn hole and paddle boarded to name a few. Before the kids woke each morning my husband and I had coffee, talked, and read on the screened-in porch while enjoying the beautiful view. Some afternoons we relaxed in one of the several hammocks near the water. We really appreciated the fact that the dogs also enjoyed themselves and were exhausted each evening. It is definitely worth mentioning how kind and attentive the property owner was during our stay. The outdoor grill stopped working and he went out immediately and purchased a new grill for our cabin! At present we have not taken our deposit back because we are looking to return next year, same week and same cabin! Thank you Andrew!

My children say that I believe I must have two weeks by a lake in Maine to be who I am. This rental provides exactly what I need. We have stayed in all three of the rental cabins on Spring River Lake, and we love each of them. The last three years we've been in the Boat House which is beautiful, comfortable - an excellent accommodation. The big window in the living room provides a view of the lake in all weathers and times of day and is a perfect place to settle in with a good book. We ate every meal on the screened in porch and did our reading there during the day. The kitchen is reasonably equipped and everything is kept in good working order. We have friends who have rented the nearest camp for one of our weeks for the last two years and have really enjoyed that. The fact that we can bring our dog makes this a wonderful place for us. The owner is responsible, responsive, very respectful of the renters' privacy when he's there. The private beach is wonderful with beautiful sunset views. Nearby hiking trails, short drives to ocean, places to eat. Highly recommended.

This year we stayed in the Boathouse on Spring River Lake after staying last summer in the Log Cabin. It was everything we were told and more! The Boathouse is a wonderful private cottage nestled in the woods on the shore of the beach of the lake. It has a large open space with the kitchen and a large living room separated with a beautiful stone fireplace. The sunlight filters into the area through a e custom built window bigger than a boat! We spent our days hiking on the local mountain trails, canoeing and kayaking in the lake and watching the sunset on the beach. Every evening we cooked on the grill or boiled up lobsters in the kitchen for dinner on the large screened in porch. This cottage is quiet, and private which allowed us to reconnect with nature and ourselves.

Simply a beautiful location and excellent accommodations -- a beautiful strip of lakeside Maine property at the north edge of Acadia National Park.

My wife's family, her sister's family, and their 40-year-ago childhood friends (and parts of their respective families) enjoyed a fabulous week here in mid-July 2016. We actually rented all three of the cabins on this private cove on Spring River Lake, and we had that whole end of the lake to ourselves. And we had a ball.

The lake was a beautiful, clear-water, rough-sand beach setting, with plenty of "toys" available such as kayaks, canoes, a floaty raft, and beach chairs/umbrellas. On one day we all paddled over to the opposite end of the lake and played on the "jumping rock"; but on most days we just chilled and chatted and splashed in the gently sloping water in our own private cove! The drive to Acadia isn't much longer than the drive to the grocery store -- what a beautiful area of the country.

The cabins were well-designed and reasonably appointed. Some of the dishes/dinnerware could stand to be updated, but everything was clean and generally had everything we needed. The general feel was "rustic" more than "elegant" but this is exactly what we were after. The local hiking (esp. Tunk Mountain) was fabulous.

The cabin owner was generous with contributing his 'local knowledge' of the lake, cabins, and surrounding community/history with us. Communication was flawless before, during, and after the rental and was in no way overbearing. Response time to phone calls or emails was always within 24 hours. The information binders provided at the cabins were well-written and helpful.

We did have a few problems with ants in one of the cabins, but we brought this up to the caretaker and he addressed it promptly and effectively. Also, while we were lucky to be enjoying all three cabins together this week, I imagine some of the pure bliss might have been lost if we didn't have the whole cove to ourselves. But the cabins are very nicely spaced, at least 100 yards apart, so I don't think this would have greatly diminished the charm of the site.

We had a great week at these lovely lakeside cabins, and will cherish the family/friend togetherness it fostered for years to come. We strongly recommend them to others.
