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!!
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!
If I were describe Sheree's beautiful cabin in two words it would be 'Dream Home'. This stunning property is located next to Branch Lake; from the charming details to the large windows with scenic views it was nothing short of amazing! Our stay was absolutely wonderful, I hope to return sometime soon!
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!!)
The Flat Rock cabin at Branch Lake was beautiful and we really enjoyed our stay! Everything was as advertised - nice updates, plenty of space, and a great location on the lake. Our only regret was that we donât stay longer. We will definitely be back!
We had a great experience. The house was beautiful and so well equipped, much better than other houses we've stayed at. The kitchen was well stocked, and we loved that there was plenty of games, puzzles, and books available. There was plenty of chairs to take out to the rocks and enjoy the lake. It was so peaceful there, and we really enjoyed our stay.
We truly loved renting this property! The interior is beautifully done and screams Maine! Outside, you're surrounded by trees and away from the neighbors. We really enjoyed sitting on the 'Flat Rock' on the lake. It makes for a perfect patio to enjoy the beautiful view of the sunsets on. We will definitely be booking again next year!
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.
So happy we chose this for our visit to Bar Harbor! After busy days shopping or hiking in Acadia, this was the perfect relaxing retreat to come home to! Itâs beautifully done on the inside with everything you might need, and absolutely beautiful views of the lake from throughout. I can only imagine the fun this place would be in the summer months swimming, boating and fishing! The owner was thoughtful and attentive. If youâre looking for a great place, donât hesitate!
This property was a perfect place for my husband and I to celebrate our anniversary and rest/recharge from our hectic lives.
The cabin is located on the lake, with access to kayaks, fishing, or bringing chairs to flat rock to read and soak in the sun.
The cabin is clean and well appointed, including the basics needed to cook a meal or shower after a day on the lake. The neighborhood is quiet, perfect place to get a restful vacation and a good nightâs sleep.
Communication with the renter was prompt and effective.
I would not hesitate to book a stay at this property again.
If you enjoy remote locations, blueberry fields and diverse sunsets, this is the rental for you! The owners care for this home and it shows, itâs camp and a comfortable one! We had 6 people total for half the rental and were not on top of eachother. Itâs absolutely magical for kids! A great fishing spot too! Weâd not only recommend but love to return.
We very much enjoyed our stay! The cottage had a rustic summer cottage feel, but we were in no way roughing it and was exactly what we look for when vacationing this time of year. Quiet, peaceful, away from it all but close enough to "civilization" to explore and enjoy all that Bar Harbor and Downeast Maine have to offer.
The water pressure in the master shower was amazing and the master bed was pretty comfortable. The location and view are to die for! The lack of light pollution made for the perfect conditions to sit out by the lake in our reclining lounge chairs we brought with us and watch for meteors (I think we saw about 8!).
This is definitely a place we would love to come back and stay when we have more time.
Thank you for the refreshing get away!

We enjoyed our week at Flat Rock. The house is beautiful and clean with a nice open living area and amazing windows in the master bedroom and entire living area. It is situated in a pine grove on the lake and was very private. There were just the two of us, but it would have been sufficiently roomy for six. We enjoyed the kayaks and loved sitting on the rock enjoying the beautiful weather and star gazing. The area has plenty of lakeside dirt roads for long walks. We were there during apple-picking season and the orchards were beautiful. Acadia and Bar Harbor are a short drive. We had no problems communicating with the renter and no issues during our stay. I would recommend replacing the grill, which is poor condition. Everything else was wonderful! Thank you so much and we would love to stay there again sometime, preferably in the summer when we can swim in that lovely water!
The glorious memories we are taking back with us! The first glorious view of the lake from Flat Rock, the shooting stars and a glimpse of the Milky Way, family games in the cozy, comfortable cabin, picking apples from the orchard, turkeys and deer strolling in the blueberry fields. Loved the charm of the town of Ellsworth and the wild beauty of Acadia. We could not have picked a better place to land for this trip. Lots of loving touches in this wonderful cabin! Hope to return!
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.
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!
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....
