The camp was just as described. It was quiet, peaceful, and relaxing. You get to watch the most beautiful sunsets from inside or on the lake. It is also centrally located to many places of interest, great food, and beautiful scenery. Can't wait to book another visit!
So hard to leave Flat Rock cabin! The views of Branch Lake are stunning. We enjoyed sitting on the flat rock for the sunset. The cabin has so much charm from the tree post to the stained glass. This cabin has been lovingly cared for by family and it shows. Our favorite VRBO so far! We would stay again in a heartbeat. We are 4 seniors and just enjoyed relaxing in the beauty but they provide kayaks and other amenities for those who wish. Host is very responsive.
Flat Rock provided a peaceful vacation week for our family. We loved the location. The lake was easily accessible and our kids swam almost every day. It was a short drive to both Bar Harbor and Bangor but for a day trip to each. The house had everything we really needed stocked for basics, we went into town and picked up groceries after making our plan and thoroughly enjoyed the kitchen/dining view of the lake.
Beautiful area, lakeside. Had a very relaxing comfortable stay at this lovely cozy home. The weather wasnât exactly on our side but we enjoyed staying in and relaxing and making puzzles and memories. Close to Bar Harbor and Bangor. Great view from Flat Rock. Wish there were a few less trees so you could have a better view of the lake from inside but thatâs minor. Had a great time!!
What an iconic Maine lakehouse vacation! The house has plenty of space, and did I mention seemingly never-ending views of the water?! Not only was it beautiful, it had amenities galore, to include kayaks, life jackets, fishing poles and gear, board games, puzzles and lots of Maine guidebooks! We would definitely do this again!
The house at Flat Rock was great. It was beautiful inside, spacious, comfortable, very well stocked, great view, lots of things to do that were supplied for us. We didn't get to enjoy the outside much because of the weather, but it would be a great spot in the warmer months. It is about 45 minutes to Acadia and about 35 minutes to Bangor. The house was easy to find, with directions supplied by the owners. All information needed was in a binder in the house, which helped a lot too. Internet went out a few times, probably because it's a remote area. Plenty of room for sleeping for a larger party than we had. Would definitely recommend staying there.
We loved everything about the cabin! The owner is very responsive and made the experience simple and seemless. The location is perfect and the house has everything you could possibly need to make your stay relaxing and enjoyable. It is centralized and convenient to so many great places to visit. The cabin is very cozy and felt like home. We had a wonderful time star gazing and photographing the milky way from Flat Rock. We even captured a bit of the aurora borealis, which we have never seen before! It was amazing to see so many stars in the night sky. We even heard an owl while stargazing. The fall colors were beautiful. Our entire family had a wonderful time and we miss it already! We can't wait to go back.
Absolutely perfect cabin the the woods! The pictures do not do justice to this property! The flat rock on the lake was perfect for evening sunsets and cocktails. The proximity to Bar Harbor and Acadia was reasonable. We liked being away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Ellsworth had everything we needed. Our hosts had the cabin wonderfully equipped and were responsive throughout the process. We highly recommend!!!
Cabin was well furnished and cozy. The sunrise and sunsets were simply beautiful. Loved the apple orchard down the road. Thanks for sharing this jewel!
This place is a picture perfect getaway, Quite, secluded and peaceful. Just the right size for family or just a couple. The only negative is that we had to leave.
This place definitely surpassed expectations. The home is comfortable and easy to find. Nice to be out of the hustle and bustle of Bar Harbor and Acadia itself but still an easy drive. The flat rock area (a slab of rock which extends into the lake itself) was incredible for watching the sunset. Nothing like waking up lakeside with the water just outside the window.
The host was gracious and quick to respond. We had an excellent time. Would absolutely recommend to anyone and would stay there again ourselves in a heartbeat.
I cannot say enough wonderful things about this cabin and property. The host was so easy to communicate with and very helpful at all times. The cabin is absolutely beautiful and is located on a beautiful, peaceful lake. The views from the cabin are amazing as are they from Flat Rock. It was so nice to have kayaks and life jackets available to us. The cabin is so cozy and comfortable. I wish we could have stayed longer.
This was mine and our childrenâs first time in Maine, my husband travelled to the Bar Harbor area in his college days with some friends and had always wanted to go back with his family. We stumbled upon this property online and immediately knew this was the place our family should stay. We could have spent the entire time at the cabin on the lake fishing, swimming and kayaking. The property and the cabin itself is like a fairytale. This really is a unique gem of a location! We did venture into Acadia and Bar Harbor for hiking and a whale watching excursion, but by far our favorite days were the days spent by the lake. Thank you Sheree & Jason for opening up your property to us! We enjoyed every minute of our time in Maine and that was greatly because of the hospitality we experienced. We canât wait to come back again!!
Our family will be talking about Flat Rock for years to come. This charming property is fully appointed so we could enjoy everything we wanted to. The kayaks and fishing were a hit, and the views of the lake were picture perfect. Communication with the host was seamless. We were close enough to town to grab what we needed, but far enough away to feel like we had our own little spot of paradise. Anyone considering this listing to take in Bar Harbor and Acadia should book now!
We loved the charming cabin, the pristine lake, and swimming right off the flat rock. Fantastic location! Very relaxing. The perfect getaway. Truly a unique place. (And a very responsive host. Thank you!!)
What a beautiful piece of property nestled right on Branch Lake. The cabin was spacious with everything you need from home to enjoy your stay hassle-free. We took in all scenery, enjoyed some great hikes, cooled off in the lake, and filled up on fresh Lobster and blueberry pie. You don't want to miss out on an opportunity to stay at Flat Rock.
Amazing vacation full of memories that will last a lifetime.
This cabin was a little sentimental piece of paradise right on the waters edge, that was full of character, warmth and charm. Communication responses were quick, honest and upfront. We will most certainly return again in the future.i
My husband's grandfather built this camp in 1940. We recently purchased the cabin and have spent many months renovating it. We added AC/ heating, an extra bathroom, new electrical and plumbing, washer and dryer, many new windows and flooring. We love Flat Rock (which is an actually place on the backside of the cabin, for which is got it's name!). And we can't wait to share it with you....
